Open Video Conference Now Accepting Proposals

Creative Commons has announced that the Open Video Conference is now accepting proposals. The conference is taking place June 19-20 in New York City, and is sponsored by “the Yale Law School Information Society Project, the Participatory Culture Foundation, Kaltura, and iCommons.” From the conference’s “About” page:

Open Video is a broad based movement of video creators, technologists, academics, filmmakers, entrepreneurs, activists, remixers, and many others. When most folks think of “open,” they think of open source and open codecs. They’re right—but there’s more to Open Video than open codecs. Open Video is the growing movement for transparency, interoperability, and further decentralization in online video. These qualities provide more fertile ground for independent producers, bottom-up innovation, and greater protection for free speech online.
