There’s not much at Free Culture DC yet. I’ve been adding links and calendar entries for a while; that’s about all. There’s a lot of links and events (mostly past, now), but it’s a bit haphazard and not very well-organized. The calendar is using the Event Calendar plugin for WordPress, which is basic but functional.

Here’s my vision for Free Culture DC. I want it to be an essential resource for people in the DC area who are interested in free culture. I want to collect relevant local news and commentary, along with lectures, conferences, screenings, performances, parties, protests, etc. in the calendar. As to what “relevant” means, topics could include (but are not necessarily limited to):

• free and open source software
• open access to research / open science
• open educational resources
• Creative Commons
• copyright, patents, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights
• telecom, the digital divide, Net neutrality, spectrum policy, broadband access, etc.
• open access to public sector information (government data, government publications, etc.)
• open government (online transparency applications, etc.)
• human rights and civil liberties in digital environments (free speech online, etc.)

I hope it’ll contribute to building a flourishing free culture scene in the DC area.

So head over to Free Culture DC and check it out. Grab the RSS feed for the blog, or the RSS or iCal for the calendar. If you’d like to get involved, drop me an email. And spread the word!
