Howdy y’all. Am at the commons sense<\/a> conference, and was just on a panel discussion with Megan Knight (PhD Wits), Vincent Maher (New Media Lab, Rhodes\/Grahamstown<\/a>) and Matthew Buckland (Mail & Guardian online<\/a>).<\/p>\n It was a pretty cool panel, tho admittedly a lot was centered around the debate of “what gets to be journalism” (this, which often gets confused for value – like the old “what gets to be art” debate – doesn’t interest me much) – still, there was plenty of provocation around freedoms, positive connotations to the amateur, helping creative economies through the creative commons, and even a few jokes (gasp!). I have to say that everyone I saw and met at the whole conference was excitable, and exciting – some super interesting and smart people who want to add something to the world!<\/p>\n My own presentation was a re-mix of one I found here<\/a> by our keynote, Larry Lessig<\/a>. It was pretty much a hit, if I do say so myself, and I promised Lessig et al I’d put it online.<\/p>\n Download it<\/a> (3.3 MB powerpoint presentation + quicktime movie that you may need to point to the first time you open it – slide no. 32)<\/p>\n Other links: me & the double L (that’s the larry to the lessig) remix Howdy y’all.
