Here is the list of participants and de facto schedule, so far:

• Richard Smith, SFU, CTSI (2:30pm, intro, guidelines)
• Cyprian Lomas, UBC, Facebook page (2:35pm) -- I would want to talk about my work with the Educause Learning Initiative where I produce the series ‘7 things you should know about...’. The 7 things ( http://www.educause.edu/7ThingsYouShouldKnowAboutSeries/7495 ) series is ongoing monthly series providing a 2 page overview of a new emerging new technology. They are meant as conversation pieces for technologists to raise awareness about new practices and techniques in the relatively conservative higher education space and have proven to be very popular. I would also chat about trying to effect change within this space through a bubble up approach and how the popularity of these pieces has worked so far. I would also want to talk about the challenges of taking good ideas, piloting and evaluating them and then putting them into production in an institutional setting. Finally, if there is still time, I would want to talk about my efforts at the Faculty of Land and Food Systems at UBC to put these empowering technologies in the hands of our ‘Net Gen’ students and teaching them how to effect change with them.
• Joel Flynn, SFU, Remix culture paper (2:45pm) -- First off, I'll quickly explain my role with the (Post-Traditional Media Lab), i.e. where I attempt to balance the lab's interest in digital media's effects on (1) long established traditions and sacred practices with (2) my own focus on the use of the term "traditional" in more short-term contexts of popular culture. I'll then give a quick description of my research with respect to remixing and mashups through a simple but provocative conceptual model for digital culture and its relationship to Apple's one-time marketing slogan of "Rip.Mix.Burn". Finally, time permitting, I'll try to key in on the issue of "fair use" vs. "licensed use" in our everyday creative activities (as touched on in Cory's recent interview with the Georgia Straight).
• Jean Hébert, SFU, PhD program Clicknoise (2:55pm) -- Read-write media are part of a historical rupture in music in a similar manner as were recordable piano rolls, sheet music, or portable electronic instruments in their day. The challenges and potential changes are many; political economy, aesthetics, and the social formations that constitute musical networks are under revision as musicians, businesses and audiences alternatively grapple with and repurpose technologies for creating, disseminating and listening to music. I will talk about one specific area where changes have been most most profoundly felt: independent music scenes. I will describe how the new sociotechnical milieu offers new benefits but also new problems/challenges for musicians and labels (and entire scenes) that have always subsisted on the tablescraps of a colossal commercial musical drek machine.

• Geoff Glass, SFU, MA program A whole minute (3:05pm) Geof put more details of his ideas in an email to me, not easily reducible to a paragraph but you can read his "one pager" here: (PDF)
• Kate Milberry, SFU, PhD program Geeks and global justice (3:15pm)
• Amir Ghaseminejad, SFU, PhD program (3:25pm) -- "Technology, Surveillance, Privacy and the Importance of Democratic Control" I will talk about the importance of Democratic Control on decisions made by societies. I'll give some examples of long history of social underdevelopment, serveilance and lack of privacy in industrial and third world countries. Then I'll talk about the role of power imbalance which requires a diversion of investment from constructive to destructive artifacts which in turn increases the need for surveilance and decreases the privacy. And I will argue that it is more important than ever to pay attention to the importance of proper delegation of power in corporate and societal environments to control the usage of technological progress.

• Monique Trottier, WorkIndustries, (former SFU MPub), SoMisGuided (3:35pm) -- I'll give a quick description of my role with SoMisguided and Work Industries (which includes helping non-techies understand the web). I'll mention my experience with clients (including Raincoast Books) and helping them shift their attitudes about online marketing (don't just measure book sales, think about campaigns in terms of engagement, user participation). And I'll ask about how those of us who "get it" can better help those who don't. How do the evangelists in an organization generate change, what messages are effective, how can we help others rethink their digital assets and their use/value/etc., what were Cory's experiences with his publishers.
• general discussion (3:45-4:30)
