[NetBehaviour] What is Free Culture?

[ruth catlow]

Hi Aymeric,

Thanks for posting : )))

Please invite someone-or-two attendees to report back here, in some form 
or other!

... perhaps some videos of presentations, drawings from discussions, or 
general impressions etc etc.

Many aspects of the discussion will be of interest to many people here.

very best
Ruth
