Hey All, <div><br></div><div>This topic has migrated quite a bit, but I think for the good. :) In an effort to move forward instead of circles I have created a google doc and made it so anyone can edit it at the link below:</div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/edit?id=1bsJv0nUb5Z-CdZB2XD6GcU3XP8kQiw9RDL9fyEhQDGY&hl=en&authkey=CJ-jwKkJ">https://docs.google.com/document/edit?id=1bsJv0nUb5Z-CdZB2XD6GcU3XP8kQiw9RDL9fyEhQDGY&hl=en&authkey=CJ-jwKkJ</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>I have just put up a skeleton about some of the topics that have come up. If you are interested in working on this project please go to the link above and add your information. I have also added a section for license agreements. I didn't realize the history. I agree that what ever we do should stay open and free to everyone. Isn't that was education is all about? :) I'm not as familiar with the licenses as many of you are though, so please add your thoughts. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Regarding the virtual conference (I'll stop calling a WordCamp), I still would love to see something like that happen. I am glad to hear there are tracks at WordCamps around the country and will certainly keep my eye out for those that I can attend, but I know my budget is already gone for the year and unless a local one has an education track that is unlikely for me. </div>
<div><br></div><div>With that in mind I created a second document (that can also be edited) focused on a virtual academic wordpress conference:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/edit?id=1WYGAV3eV4f1xDnZ4f8ozGngd2Be-f35_iSRCj-TJeCM&hl=en&authkey=CLaO-IMJ">https://docs.google.com/document/edit?id=1WYGAV3eV4f1xDnZ4f8ozGngd2Be-f35_iSRCj-TJeCM&hl=en&authkey=CLaO-IMJ</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>If you are interested in the conference, please go and add your thoughts there. Even if you can't help organize it I think it would be great to have your thoughts. </div><div><br></div><div>~Jeff</div>

Actually, we generally say all WordCamp videos are GPL as well, since anyone working with WP code during presentation strays into the gray areas. By saying it's all GPL, we avoid that.<div><br>
