Hello all,
Don't forget that the Mind Mashup is happening tomorrow from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM at the Infocommons on the third floor of Library West. Since tomorrow is the first Tuesday of October, the Mashup will also serve as our October general meeting. There will be brief presentations on what Free Culture is, Creative Commons and Open Source Software, and Open Access. Following the presentations, several FFC members will give demos on Gimp, Inkscape, Audacity, and Blender. At this point, the audience will be free to either stay and watch the demos or jump onto the computers and start making mashups.
If you are already good at using any of these titles (or something open source that isn't listed above) or if you can use Adobe Photoshop, Premier, etc., and you are interested in demoing, e-mail me today. We hope to have short demos happening at regular intervals around the clock. If you want to demo something not listed, you'll need to bring your own laptop. Also, we'll need volunteers to man the Free Culture table and answer any questions students might have.
The librarians have really gone all out to help us make this event a success, from making lots of fliers to reserving the entire Infocommons plus some media rooms for our use. They're even getting us cookies! Let's do our part and have a big turnout. Invite your friends outside Free Culture, too!
Hope to see everyone on Tuesday for a night of fun, food, and Free Culture!
Best,
Jennifer Griffith-Delgado
President, Florida Free Culture

By Michael RedlichIn this episode, Thomas Betts speaks with Diana Montalion about how architecture is designing for knowledge flow. The conversation covers the differences between knowledge stock and knowledge flow and the importance of a growth mindset. If you’re trying to find new ways to solve problems, you have to start by thinking in new ways.
By Diana MontalionScaling a system is a hard problem to solve. Underinvesting in scalability leads to a shortened lifespan for the system, but overinvesting can kill the MVP business case because of cost.
