This week (10/27-10/31) will be Anti-DRM week in our school. DRM is digital rights management. DRM restricts what you can do with your computer. During the week there will be a bunch of signs around the school. On Halloween, we will wear our Haz-Mat suits to school. We are your "DRM sanitation crew". We will hand out fliers and such from Defective By Design. We will also accept any questions other students may have. After school, we will distribute fliers around the school district in a Reverse Trick-or-Treat style. Hopefully this will raise awareness about DRM.]]>matthttp://vt.freeculture.org<![CDATA[New VT student journal uses a free license]]>http://vt.freeculture.org/2008/10/26/new-vt-student-journal-uses-a-free-license/2008-10-26T01:20:06Z2008-10-26T01:20:06ZVirginia Tech has a new student journal called Public Knowledge, which promises to use CC-BY for its articles:

The journal's copyright page also says that submissions are non-exclusive, so publications in other journals are allowed as well, provided that they are published in Public Knowledge first:

3. Authors are permitted and encouraged to post their work online (e.g., in institutional repositories or on their website) prior to and during the submission process, as it can lead to productive exchanges, as well as earlier and greater citation of published work (See The Effect of Open Access).

Virginia Tech, after years of using the proprietary Blackboard software, is now working on their own implementation of Sakai called Scholar. Scholar right now is accessible to anyone with a Virginia Tech PID, and hopefully will be set to completely replace Blackboard in the future.
Thanks to kiran for bringing this up.]]>Markhttp://uf.freeculture.org<![CDATA[Free Your PC - Tuesday-Thursday, October 28-30, 10:00am - 2:00pm - Reitz Union Colonnade]]>http://uf.freeculture.org/2008/10/25/free-your-pc-tuesday-thursday-october-28-30-1000am-200pm-reitz-union-colonnade/2008-10-25T05:57:22Z2008-10-25T05:57:22ZFirefox, OpenOffice, and GIMP. Come get your computer cleaned free of charge and learn about what free software is and what it can do for you!
If you're computer saavy, we need your help! Please RSVP to help us fix students' computers and install quality free and open source software on our wiki. The process is completely streamlined, and there will always be someone to help you out if you need it, so there's no need to worry about it being too complicated. We usually get greater traffic on later days, so lots of help on Wednesday and Thursday would especially be appreciated.
We'll look forward to seeing you at the event!]]>Markhttp://uf.freeculture.org<![CDATA[CopyNight - Wednesday, October 22nd - 7:00pm - Orange and Brew]]>http://uf.freeculture.org/2008/10/21/copynight-wednesday-october-22nd-700pm-orange-and-brew/2008-10-21T05:56:21Z2008-10-21T05:56:21Zrichhttp://bu.freeculture.org<![CDATA[Going to Free Culture Conference 2008!]]>http://bu.freeculture.org/2008/going-to-free-culture-conference-2008/2008-10-09T03:05:47Z2008-10-09T03:06:57Z
We're going to Free Culture 2008 in Berkeley, California on Friday! I'm excited to meet all of the free culture people and see all of the speakers. Hopefully I'll be giving a talk/workshop thing on the second day, not quite sure how they're going to set it up, though, so we'll see how that goes..
Anyway, if you're going to be there you should come and see me! I'd love to talk to you about OpenCourseWare or applied cryptography or anything else.
I'll be sure to put up some pictures of all the FC kiddies getting hyphy up in the Yay Area, of course.
See you there!
