Deban SIG Meeting: Wednesday July 20th, 2005

When:
        Wednesday, July 20, 7:00pm - 8:00pm
Where:
        James Squire Brewery

Free Media lets people build on forms of expression -- to make music,
movies, pictures and knitting patterns by sharing source material. It's
natural that Free Software should support the production of Free Media.
More so, we know the ins and outs of working together globally and we've
built up tools and community structures to support that. It's an awesome
new world. What can we do, as Free Software developers and distributors,
to help Free Media flourish, and why does it matter?

There will be a short presentation to fire up discussion, on topics like:
  * Free Media licensing from a DFSG perspective
  * What's different about developing and distributing media?
  * What can artists learn from our practices?
  * What specific software should be packaged or patched?

Along with the usual free-form discussions / debates that will precede and
follow his talk, food, drink and internet access are available and people
generally start wandering in from 18:30 (or 17:30 this month) for a good
'ol chin wag.
