Cornell Free Culture

Welcome to Students for Free Culture. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

This semester will be our first full semester as a club at Cornell, and we’ll be holding our first meeting this Thursday, September 3, at 4:45 PM in Risley Hall, where we held it last year. A few news items to ponder, which we’ll probably discuss at the meeting:

• Google Books to add Creative Commons Books
• Microsoft Lists Linux as a Competitor
• Free Software Foundation Launches Windows 7 Sins Campaign
• Social Network Sites Found to Leak Lots of Information (PDF)

If you’re new and are wondering what we’re about, check out the national website, and some interesting wikipedia articles.  For a brief summary, though, we want to see information, artwork and culture spread more easily.  We want to encourage the the use of copyleft licenses in artwork and literature, open-access journals with the ultimate goal of increasing the public’s access to knowledge

See the wiki for more meeting details.
