Agenda

  • Parrrty - we need to set a date for the Pirate Party and start planning it. Can it still happen this semester?
  • Library - Looks like the library has received most of the books we've requested, it's about time to do the display.
  • Michener - The final letter to the administration about releasing James Michener's novels under a Creative Commons license has been submitted to Maurice Eldridge. Hope they like it!
  • Theater - We should talk to the theater department about co-sponsoring a symposium on copyright in the performing arts, or maybe more specifically Beckett.
  • NYC summit over winter break? - Status on getting space at Columbia?
  • Blog - Everyone should get blog accounts! I made an LJ feed at http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=freecultureswat so if you're on LJ, subscribe to it ^_^
  • Can we organize shipping stuff to other chapters? - The national org needs help, can we step up for this?
