[MCN-L] The 2013 PK Policy Symposium
Hi Renee: Can I attend this symposium? It has to do with copyright issues. Although I may not get the chance to work with Ron and our copyright project, I'm being optimistic about it. Thanks.

DC area: Join Public Knowledge for conversations on the future of internet, communications, and copyright policy. From fixing TV to copyright reform, we'll discuss obstacles and solutions to what are sure to be this year's most interesting policy questions. How do we ensure that broadband is a catalyst for growth? That the video marketplace has room to grow? That copyright balances the needs of creators with the needs of the public? These questions go right to the heart of what PK cares about - and is working on every day. We hope you can join the debate!

Beyond the matter of online copyright infringement, ordinary users find themselves constrained by legal and technical mechanisms that are often based on assumptions about creation and copying that are no longer true in today's world. This panel will look at a few of the problems facing technology users created by copyright law, and explore possible solutions to them. Moderated by Gigi B. Sohn, President CEO, Public Knowledge * Erik Martin, General Manager, Reddit * Tom W. Bell, professor of law at Chapman University, author, Copyright Unbalanced * Pamela Samuelson, professor of law at Berkeley Law, University of California; Faculty Director, Berkeley Center for Law Technology * Michael McGeary, Co-Founder, Engine Advocacy and: 2:00 - 3:00 pm | Digital First Sale The first sale doctrine is one of the most important ways that the law reconciles the rights of an author in her works with the rights of a consumer in his property. As more and more media is sold as digital downloads, the line between who owns what can become less clear. Can a user give away his ebook collection? Can another leave her iTunes collection to a descendant in her will? Our panel will describe the challenges that online media bring to digital ownership, and how we can ensure certainty for buyers and sellers of digital goods.

[MCN-L] Who funds the SIGs?
Marla: Thank you for this information; this is very interesting to know. (Sorry to have caused such a brouhaha.) Lisa Lisa Holt Museum Information Specialist, Application Development United States Holocaust Memorial Museum www.ushmm.orghttp://www.ushmm.org/ -Original Message- From: mcn-l-bounces at mcn.edu [mailto:mcn-l-boun...@mcn.edu] On Behalf Of Misunas, Marla Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2011 7:56 PM To: 'MCN List (mcn-l at mcn.edu)' Subject: [MCN-L] Who funds the SIGs? Dear all, I'm sorry for cluttering up all our mailboxes, but there's no email address for Lisa and we don't seem to have a directory online anymore. Lisa, MCN doesn't actually fund the SIGs, rather they are more or less organic groups that arise and sometimes disappear based on interest in the various groups (and are usually spearheaded by one or two dedicated souls). Membership in the SIG is free with your MCN membership. So you could say MCN funds the California SIG b/c we get to have a page on the website, but no actual money has come in from MCN in the past except for a few bucks to buy cookies once in a while. In the past I've either paid for refreshments myself or cajoled others to do that, and our lunches have typically been no-host; also everyone gets to the SIG meetings on their own dime. It's not an unreasonable question though-I remember how the Board laughed at me when I first started the SIG and asked about our budget for mailings.

[MCN-L] [NE SIG] Inaugural SIG meeting to be held at MFA Boston - what dates work best?
Hi, again, Ari, My preference is July 15.

Hi all, I am pleased to announce that the Museum of Fine Arts here in Boston, which recently opened a stunning new wing, has offered to host the inaugural meeting of MCN's also-recently-opened Northeast SIG. Why have a regional SIG and a regional SIG meeting? Partly we do it because the annual MCN conference comes once a year, and partly because it is far easier to attend a local networking/programmatic event than to take several days off to fly elsewhere in the country. As tech professionals at cultural heritage organizations there are few opportunities to meet/network with peers, find out what they are doing, learn current best practices, and otherwise catch up on what happens outside our local day-to-day experiences. We are currently putting together a program for the day, but have tentatively identified four dates in June or July (see below), each on a Friday, for a program that is tentatively scheduled to run from 10am to 4pm, followed by a tour of the MFA's new wing (or other MFA tour, tbd). Your mission, at the moment, is to respond to me asap: - indicating which dates work for you, ordered by preference, by this Friday, May 20; Friday, June 10 Friday, June 17 Friday, July 8 Friday, July 15 - along with any program ideas/preferences - especially areas where you would like to participate; - help spread the word. Although most regional events are closed to everyone but MCN members, we'd like this one to be open. Next year, we may be more stringent, but this year is for fun. If you are a techie at a Museum, Archive, Library, or other cultural heritage institution, we'd like to invite you to participate and to attend. Many thanks, and I hope to see you all soon at our first NE SIG meet-up, Ari Davidow adavidow at jwa.org

July 15 would be best as it gives the most time for everyone to prepare, but I am open to any date except June 10. Connecticut State Library is about to embark on a Rapid Imaging Program, part of which entails the implementation of Portfolio to manage the assets we will be creating. We have legacy assets from the library, archives and museum that will also go into the DAM as well. So I am am interested in other institutions experiences implementing their DAM. What are your best practices? What were the biggest obstacles you found when implementing your DAM? Looking forward to seeing you all in Boston!

Meeting date preference; #1July 15 #2 July 8 #3 can't attend #4 can't attend Interested in how museums are using and expanding collection management systems to meet the on-line collection delivery and data harvesting needs of today's world. The Yale Center for British Art has tried to meet these needs, but we feel constrained by our collection management system that is not keeping up with the times. I'm away for the month of June, but could participate if the meeting is held July 15. The July 8 meeting is a little too soon to prepare. The regional sig is a great idea.
