Events
If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, consider volunteering this Saturday, March 1, to benefit Bay Area schools through the Untangle + Alameda County Computer Resource Center (ACCRC) Linux Installfest. Bring a screwdriver and disassemble broken computers, install Ubuntu or clean up!
The Installfest is taking place in four locations in the Bay Area:
* San Francisco (no dissasembly here)
* Berkeley
* San Mateo (no dissasembly here)
* Novato
Your hard work and technical savvy:
* Spreads F/OSS (Ubuntu, Firefox, OpenOffice & more)
* Bridges the Digital Divide with underprivileged users
* Keeps toxic computer equipment out of landfills
* Is a cool community effort!
EFF staffers Julie Lindner and Richard Esguerra will be at the Berkeley and San Francisco locations on Saturday. See the "Installfest for Schools" page for more information and the signup wiki:

Like many artists, those working in film, video and new media need protection for their creative work. Yet many also need access to sample, reference and illustrate using the work of others. In the battle between copyright violations and fair use rights, where do we draw the line for filmmakers? What should filmmakers do if they find themselves on either side of the issue, and what are some practical solutions to prevent a violation? This panel of experts will discuss how both sides of the coin can promote and prevent innovation, as well as answer many questions so that filmmakers and artists can navigate through the muddy waters of copyright and fair use rights for all artists.
