Re: [LibrePlanet-US-MA] [cc-community] 4-YEAR PLAN ideas for LibrePlanet/Students for Free Culture @Hampshire College

[Dorothy K. Gordon]

Dear Danny and team HampC, I am totally amazed that you are looking for more 
ideas after reading your really great list. But since you asked! I would say 
you should see if it is possible to get an Open Knowledge space both physically 
and virtually for HampC. I think you should also explore business models around 
CC and Open Culture in general. If you are looking for a good speaker you may 
want to contact Maddog Hall who is great on Open Source business models. Also 
explore links with other student communities in strong Open Culture locations 
such as Brazil and Kerala in India.

best regards

Subject: [cc-community] 4-YEAR PLAN ideas for LibrePlanet/Students for Free 
Culture @Hampshire College


Hello! 


Reporting in from Hampshire College's LibrePlanet/Students for Free Culture 
Chapter, we're just getting our team off the ground and after a couple of 
meetings there's been lots of ideas and excitement (check out some pictures 
from student group signup day here ). 



We made a huge list of ideas (pasted below) and started talking about who we 
needed to get in contact with and other things needed to make them happen. What 
we realized is that lots of short term efforts even over a span of years may 
not add up to a cohesive and forward-thinking plan. 


IDEA: DRAFT A FOUR-YEAR PLAN! 


We're going to imagine what Hampshire College would look like as an ideal free 
software and free culture friendly school. We want to consider what would 
normally be considered impossible to accomplish. Our first compilation of ideas 
will probably happen on Tuesday. Form there, we'll combine similar ideas, rank 
them based on difficulty, and see what steps would have to happen before the 
change would be accepted. Ideas like requiring free and open formats for all 
assignments, using free licenses for all copyrights owned by the school, and 
making as much data as possible open. 


What ideas do you have? 


Is this a thing that more groups could organize?

bigger changes than this!
