Free Culture Labs is a national Free Culture project for the recruitment of open source software hackers
We want to recruit through the CS and Biology departments - in lieu of hackers, perhaps we can connect with Language departments in order to internationalize software?
Nick has spoken to Keleman
We'll know more once the Science Commons code has actually been released

Set for last weekend in February, 24 Saturday night until 25 Sunday morning - about 7pm to 3am?
Sci 199 - Alex will reserve the space
As the date gets closer, we'll find consoles, DDR mats, etcetera

WSRN recording studio
- Nick will speak to Wren about the studio's plans
- At the moment, the planned studio does not have space for a drum kit
- Perhaps work with WSRN to get more money? Find a different space with more room?
- Once established, perhaps we could act as a liason between the studio to record under CC licenses
- Outreach to Antenna Alliance as well?
The $400 Box!
- Two-track recorder; we could set up in Olde Club in order to record live shows
- Ben will write the proposal once Eric sends him the relevant information
Free Culture DC++ server?
- Both Eric and Nick have spare computers that could be dedicated to this
