South By Southwest has opened its Panel Picker process to input from the public, even if you can’t attend next March, and there are two ways to support panels that you think are awesome. You can login to the sxswofficial website and upvote a session on its info page, or you can comment via Disqus on that session’s info page.
Fyeahcopyright’s heidi8 has proposals on fair use re transformative works and fandom in the Edu and Interactive sessions, and there’s other panels by terrific people from tumblr staff, and dailydot, teachers, lawyers, communicators and people who know a massive amount about something interesting - and you should check those out, too! If there’s any other sessions we should add to our rec list, drop us an Ask or reblog this with a link, and we’ll add it in.
