I've updated the SFD 2016 page of the wiki with more thoughts and a rough sketch
of the direction for a street dialogue strategy -- feedback and edits needed:
https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:LibrePlanet_Ontario/Software_Freedom_Day_2016


Also, a few links I'll be reviewing...

- - My 2008 case for libre software/culture (haven't read it in years, it was a
relatively early expression of my thinking but my first comprehensive attempt to
make a case):
http://blaise.ca/blog/2008/03/21/why-free-culture/

- - Benjamin Mako Hill:
https://mako.cc/copyrighteous/in-defense-of-free-knowledge

- - Mako references an Eben Moglen talk, which is the type of thing I was
referring to with Moglen on Mumble this evening:
http://www.ibiblio.org/archive/2001/11/eben-moglen-the-dotcommunist-manifesto-how-culture-became-property-and-what-were-going-to-do-about-it/

- - Also, Moglen gave a fantastic talk on making a case for software freedom
called "Innovation under Austerity." I think it's more of a lecture than a
conversation starter, but I'm going to try and relisten to that for some
potential ideas -- perhaps under economics, on not only making the case that
freedom is *feasible* but that it's actually *better* for innovation and
progress and prosperity and flourishing:

his recent talks, hoping to listen to this soon:

What I think we need immediately: - edit the wiki to help shape talking
