Notes from breakout groups:

Movement Building: This conversation revolved around the idea that to create free culture, some guiding principles or common ground must be identified. This allows us to locate our organizations within the movement, find new ways of working together and find or direct others to places for finding new resources or assistance. Our areas of interest are in technology, intellectual property and media justice/expression. Some suggested principles: - Democratic access to technology for non-commercial purposes; - Preserve peoples' ability to participate in culture and culture building; - Where public resources are being utilized, responsibility extends beyond profit; - We encourage participation.

Wireless Access: A campaign for wireless is a winning issue. It's sexy. More later.

Outside Strategies: Is media reform the end or the means? Will media democracy bring the kind of society we're looking for? Low-power FM. Disseminating information.

Fundraising/Financing: Diversifying funding. Getting past sugar daddies. DIY/Social Enterprise. How to deal with "sleeping with the enemy." How to become an ally with your funder. Are people willing to pay for independent/alternative culture? Yes if it's good and part of a campaign.

Youth/Generation: (my group) We're holding off until tomorrow to reveal what committments we're making.
