It Ends!
Hey all! We’re glad you guys came to (or tuned in to) the 2011 Students for Free Culture conference. We’re going to try and get videos and presentations up as soon as possible, so keep checking back here!
For now, though:
- Blog about the weekend! Write, write, write, write, write, and send us what you’ve written, either via comments or email (board [at] freeculture [dot] org). We can even link to it from here! Hey!
- Send us presentations, summaries, or websites! If you were representing a cool project or talked about it at the unconference or whatever, send it our way!
- Upload pictures! If you’re putting them on flickr, Picasaweb, or another site, use the tag “SFCNYC” and we encourage you to slap on a Creative Commons license!
- Upload videos! Tag them “SFCNYC”! Blip.tv and Vimeo are two video-sharing sites that come to mind that let you put on a Creative Commons license on your works, though they both use Flash (correct me if I’m wrong). YouTube is starting to use WebM for high quality videos, though you can’t license your uploads (correct me if I’m wrong). Maybe we’ll make a Miro Community site. Suggestions are welcome.
- And so on and so forth.
We hope you guys had a great time, and please feel free to get in contact with us if you’re interested in starting your own Students for Free Culture chapter!

I haven’t looked closely at the terms you agree to when you use YouTube, but the fact that YouTube doesn’t have a radio button for licensure alone doesn’t mean you can’t use a Free Culture license for your work. Short story – licensure is not limited to what you have the ability to click on the web form. As far as I can tell from a cursory reading of the YouTube terms of service, the operative clause is 6(C): in short, you retain your ownership rights (and hence your ability to apply a public license like Creative Commons).
This is not intended as legal advice.Please scrutinize the materials and make your own determinations, or consult your own lawyer.
Oh, also, I had a great time! It was inspiring to be in an auditorium full of other people driven by the desire to generate and utilize cultural ferment. I hope that sense of vibrant community is something that builds, rather than dwindles, as we take it from the auditorium to the inter-tubes. Woot.
