Suggestions

There are lots of FIIs that aren't thought of as such. Please add FIIs you think might be interesting participants in WSFII, and try to nominate people who might be good to ask about who to get for public talks - and who might be interested in helping with organisation from their domain...

So this is essentially a list of people to ask about inviting more people - themselves possibly, and a list of domains from which to ask people...

Building free and public infrastructure

• Free Software

  • Edd Dumbill? - http://usefulinc.com/edd/blog

  • Martin Hardie? (openflows.org)

  • e-riders people?

Open Broadcasting - TV, Radio and Cinema

• Public Screening

  • ExplodingCinema

  • Undercurrents

• access TV

  • <BLINK> direct access tv (using frequencyclock)

  • tv.tv - interesting community tv programme in Denmark.

  • manchester red bricks

• DIY Radio

  • howto community broadcast

  • [ http://resonancefm.com ResonanceFM arts radio London

  • LastFM - groupware radio

Public information infrastructure

• Public Knowledge Infrastructures (public domain created and maintained taxonomies, wikipedia, some p2p systems etc.)

  • Istvan Rév

  • The Plex

  • Wikipedia.org

  • p2p

Abeyance

• Open, free and censor ship resistant media as basis for eDemocracy and control of power

  • This is the open and free content layer, including things like Wikimedia

  • this is part of public knowledge infrastructure (censored)

• Free Licenses (seen as infrastructure)

  • rasmus fleischer

  • Creative Commons?

  • legalities are a translation mechanism between free and non-free infrastructures. It's a stretch to see them as infrastructures in themselves.

• Open academic publishing

  • particularly medical and scientific information

  • we don't know anyone able to do this

• Other

  • KeithHart http://www.thememorybank.co.uk (Shekhar suggested Keith Hart might be a good general anchorman)

• Data Privacy

  • Mathew Kabatoff

  • if this can be articulated effectively as a free infrastructure, great, but that's not sure. We have to get mattew's opinion on this.
