I wanted to send a big thank you out to The Fedora Project, Max Spevack and Greg DeKoenigsberg for their support of the upcoming Libre Graphics Meeting 2008 in Poland, May 8 - 11!
Dave Neary wrote a good overview of the state of the massively successful fundraiser we put together with Pledgie.com (try it out if you want to raise money for your cause!).
It is still not too late to donate money (you can use paypal with the previous link 
which will help get more developers to the event. Cheers to all who gave too and linked to the various posts thus truly shedding light onto the huge community of free and open source graphics users and developers out there in the world

Lu posted up some photos of our media event. We are going to roll deep to the Soex Reception tomorrow night with our crew and camera in hand!
Check out some of the photos:
Our best producer Sarah Wylie Ammerman post up some photos from our event last Tuesday on Fabricatorz.com. Bridget Lanigan took these images and she is our official photographer of the event. Following are some of the photos and Sarah Wylie’s comment:
The Crew minus a few, including Bridget, who’s behind the still camera.
Emcee Jon kept the night rolling smoothly.
Lu watching the project unfold with Brad.
Mark captured the performances - his screen was projected in real time in the space.
Amy kicked off the night with her multi-persona routine.
Liesa goes white-face with sugar icing.
(vote for Liesa here!)
Sharay used her personal to present her political.

It’s hard to show Magdalena’s performance with just one picture, but here’s a try!
(vote for Magdalena here!)
The audience helped Naoko raise her fur-less teddy bears as a backdrop.
(vote for Naoko here!)
At the end, the floor was opened up to anyone who wanted to speak up!

I’ve done a lot of work in the area of what some called, Digital Happenings, with Mesh.FM, setting up SFAI Design + Technology Salons and more recently the Creative Commons Salons in SF. Oh, and then, lets not forget then the great amount of work that has gone into Overlap.org’s several releases, multiple live shows, and coordination. For now, lets juts not talk about the open source projects.
Lu and I have been brewing these ideas together into, what I’m calling, Media Events, where the prime focus is to destroy the proscenium model and focus on making the main participants of an event both the performers/creators/producers and the consumers. Another way to look at this “media event” is that the performers become the audience, and vice versa, or for this event, the performers and media are in a flattened hierarchy, but that sounds too static. In Lessig-speak, the event is attempting to be media-centric “read/write” culture-y (that is Eric Steuer speak)
Tomorrow night, October 30 @ 111 Minna in downtown San Francisco, we will be experimenting with the “Media Event” setup with the Show Some Color 2 event I blogged about previously.
Come out tomorrow night from 6-9 PM! We are still hopeful to get a few more people there with video cameras. We will have all recorders (vloggers) license their work under a CC BY license, thus retaining their full copyright. Similarly, all people who come into the space are required to sign a model release form for more certainty for all recording. We are trying to do this legit, but also generate media from every single person who enters the space, and also provide copyright-awareness-power to the recorders of video.
Come on out and join us in this endeavour! Our goal is to generate some interesting content, but my alterior motive is to generate piles of content from the event and see how to make a simple happy hour have the magnitude of a large press conference…maybe as big as the hulu all night conference call

An event I help put on for Creative Commons is this week, please come out to it if you are in the area:
Hello friends. We just added some great presentations for the CC Salon SF on April 18, 7-9 PM at Shinesf.com (1337 Mission St). Here is the quick run-down:
- Liz Dunn, Technorati, about WTF (Where’s the Fire and CC)
- Seth Mazow, Interplast.org, showing film at the end of the night
- Jay Dedman, SpinXpress.com and Outhink.com, about SpinXpress and CC Video Bumpers
- Brian Mulloy, Dimitry Dimov, and Sara Wood from Swivel.com, about visualizing your data
- Debut of New CC video by Eric Steuer, Creative Commons, Creative Director
- Music by Doublefish, Reconfiguration Records (China)
Take a break from the heavy conference week, have a drink, or plan a meeting. Come and meet others who are interested into CC and are networking to the common call of CC licensing.
Also, if you NOTE to WRITERS and PUBLISHERS, another installment of the CC Publishers Association is going to be at 6 PM at the same venue before the salon.
Please RSVP/track this event at this upcoming.org listing.
