<p><span style="font-weight: bold">About danah:</span><br />
boyd, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of California, Berkeley&#8217;s School of Information, explores how young people negotiate the presentation of self in online mediated contexts. Her research focuses on how this young audience engages with &#8220;digital publics&#8221; &#8211; connected social spaces such as MySpace, LiveJournal, Xanga and YouTube.</p>
<p>Currently, boyd is a Graduate Fellow at the USC Anneberg Center, and social media researcher at Yahoo! Research Berkeley. Her recent work has explored diverse topics such as the creation of digital publics in Myspace.com (<a href="http://www.danah.org/papers/AAAS2006.html">Identity Production in a Networked Culture: Why Youth Heart MySpace</a>), the design of culturally adaptive software (<a href="http://www.danah.org/papers/Etech2006.html">G/localization: When Global Information and Local Interaction Collide</a>), and the exploration of folksonomy (<a href="http://www.danah.org/papers/Hypertext2006.pdf">HT06, Tagging Paper, Taxonomy, Flickr, Academic Article, ToRead</a>).</p>
<p>At Berkeley, boyd is advised by Peter Lyman and Mimi Ito. She holds an M.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she studied with Judith Donath at the Media Lab, and a B.A. from Brown University. boyd is frequently cited in top media, including the New York Times, Washington Post, NPR and Salon.com. She even went toe-to-toe with scary old Bill O&#8217;Reilly once. boyd blogs at <a href="http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/">http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/</a>, a must-read destination for those interested in social technology.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold">About this discussion:</span><br />
The discussion will be structured by audience questions.  <span style="font-style: italic">The audience is asked to submit questions in advance. </span> Questions may be submitted to Fred Stutzman at fred@metalab.unc.edu. From these submitted questions, we&#8217;ll structure a discussion that will be open and wide-ranging.</p>
<p>Please feel free to forward this announcement as appropriate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m pleased to announce that we&#8217;re planning a <a href="http://barcamp.org">BarCamp</a> in the Raleigh-Durham area!  A BarCamp is an unconference where lots of geek-oriented people get together to chat, teach, learn, eat and have fun.  If you&#8217;ve never been to an unconference before, they are a lot of fun and worth experiencing.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re in the very early stages of planning <a href="http://barcamp.org/BarCampRDU">BarCampRDU</a>, but we know a couple of things we need.  We need <strong>people to help out</strong> with BarCampRDU&#8217;s planning and execution.  We need <strong>sponsors</strong> to help cover the costs of refreshments and materials.  We need <strong>space</strong> to host the conference (150 people, hosted on a Saturday).  Most importantly, we need <strong>campers</strong> to come learn, teach and have a great time at BarCampRDU.</p>
<p>To get involved, you&#8217;ll want to visit the <a href="http://barcamp.org/BarCampRDU">BarCampRDU website</a>, where you can see the preliminary planning that&#8217;s gone on.  You should also subscribe to the <a href="http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/BarCampRDU">BarCampRDU mailing list</a>, as this will be the place we have most of our planning discussions.  However, if you just have a simple question &#8211; don&#8217;t hesitate to contact me at fred@metalab.unc.edu.</p>
<p>BarCampRDU will be <strong>free </strong>for all campers, it will be hosted on a <strong>Saturday </strong>in<strong> July</strong> (possibly July 8th), and <strong>everyone is invited</strong> to attend (You need not be from RDU area).  To help spread the word, we ask that you blog about BarCampRDU, email your friends, whatever.  We can only get the word out with your help.  Finally, I hope that you&#8217;ll think about coming out &#8211; BarCamps have been great successes around the country, and we&#8217;d like to do the same here!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My buddy <a href="http://www.kembrew.com/">Kembrew McLeod</a>, with whom I <a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2005/07/23/copyfighter_to_trade.html">sent a cease and desist letter to Leo Stoller</a>, wants you to know that there is a contest to mix music for <a href="http://www.copyrightcriminals.com/">his new movie</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>This is a contest for artists to mix audio tracks under 4 minutes which use provided voice samples from Ben Franzen and Kembrew McLeod&#8217;s forthcoming film, &#8220;Copyright Criminals.&#8221; Samples from the film include voiceovers from De La Soul, DJ Qbert, members of Public Enemy, Matmos, Coldcut, members of Negativland, and others. The best overall winner will be included prominently in the film and the top 11 other entries are to be included on a companion CD.</p></blockquote>
<p>The deadline has been extended to March 14, and new samples from George Clinton (Parliament-Funkadelic) and Chuck D (Public Enemy) are added to the list of possible source material that you may use.</p>
<p>(Incidentally, another thing that Kembrew and I have in common is that we have both interviewed Chuck D&#8230; him for several hours and me for 15 minutes. I interviewed Chuck D for my <a href="http://rnc2004.jjb.cc/">perpetually in production documentary</a>, which will soon have a new home <a href="http://interviews.johnjosephbachir.org/">here</a>.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My name is John Bachir. I work at ibiblio.org, an organization affiliated with both the school of Information and Library Science, and the school of Journalism at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. You may have known us as one of our two former names: sunsite, and metalab.</p>
<p>Ibiblio is home to over 1500 collections, including Project Gutenberg, which hosts transcribed plaintext files of public-domain works, and etree.org, which hosts public-domain audio files. We were mirroring GNU/Linux distributions and open-source software before it was cool. Ibiblio was, in fact, the first webserver on the Internet.</p>
<p>Given the wide variety of media used and delivered by ibiblio collections, the WIPO Broadcasting and Webcasting treaty poses significant problems for their work. Many of our contributors do work with public domain or alternatively licensed materials acquired from a very wide variety of sources. Even with existing laws, it is often quite a challenge for creators to determine if something downloaded online can be included in repositories or creative works, or who the rights holder is to begin with. The United States Copyright Office recently issued a report saying that the situation with orphan works is serious, and poses a real threat to dissemination and use, including scholarly and archival dissemination and reuse. Indeed, the report suggests that the copyright act needs amendment, to allow for some manner of limited liability for good faith searches.</p>
<p>The proliferation of rights, the difficulty of finding long-vanished copyright holders, and the fact that multiple copyrights could cover the same media, is already a huge unsolved problem. But at least today a creator knows that, in the United States, a work published before 1923, or a work under an appropriate alternative-license such as Creative Commons, can be put into a repository or used in a derivative or annotated work.</p>
<p>Imagine if, in addition to the existing crushing burden of rights clearance under copyright, creators also had a separate and entirely different obligation to clear Broadcast or Webcast rights&#8211;even on public-domain or Creative Commons works. Here we have yet another layer of the orphan works problem already existent in the copyright space. The difficulty of ascertaining whether works were originally derived from a broadcast or webcast incurs economic overhead in the use of public-domain works that has not existed for the past 200 years.</p>
<p>The same problems that the provisions of the Broadcast and Webcast treaty create for the work of ibiblio collections will be experienced by those in educational and academic fields at large. Furthermore, the treaty provides no apparent benefits to such communities. In fact, what little research there is examining the effects of the Rome Convention shows that such provisions are not in the best interest of the commercial sector either.</p>
<p>One would hope that policy made by a UN agency would be the result of careful research and public deliberation, with the intention of benefitting the societies and economies involved. But with the Broadcaster and Webcaster treaty, this is not the case. Instead, it is being created without feedback from the public sector or even the business community at large, under pressure and lobbying from huge media entities, in order to grant unnatural power to product distribution companies who add no value to creative works.</p>
<p>This treaty is bad for ibiblio, bad for education, bad for academia, bad for culture, bad for the economy, and good for News Corp. and Yahoo!. I urge you to do a comprehensive call for feedback from the creative and broadcast communities at large, and refuse to participate in a treaty not approved by the United States Congress. Thank you for your time.</p>
