SA Free Culture Tour!
Wednesday 18 April – Friday 20 April 2007
Wikipedia Founder, Jimmy Wales and Creative Commons CEO, Larry Lessig will be in South Africa for a host of festivities to celebrate digital freedom in the country. Speaking at a number of events in Cape Town, Wales and Lessig will be encouraging local support of institutions like iCommons, the University of the Western Cape, the University of Cape Town and the Internet Society of South Africa in their efforts towards developing a culture of freedom on the local internet.
Awesome, eh? Check out the full schedule of events at iCommons.org.
And just to brag a bit, I had supper with Lawrence Lessig (CC) and Ethan Zuckerman (Global Voices) while I was in Doha, blogging Al-Jazeera’s 3rd Annual Media Forum. Honestly, these guys were next level when it comes to the thinking of Where the Internet is and where it’s headed, especially in terms of the evolution of Ideas and Culture in the New Media era. Wow.
Left to Right: Me, Lawrence and Ethan. It was at this eclectic Lebanese restaurant, called Assaha, if you’re in Doha, I recommend it!
