Proposed Names: (place your votes by asterisk, one p/ person please)

• We Share Books Coalition (there is an issue with using "sharing", yeah this might not play well in court)
• Free Library Congress  (it sounds like the library of congress is involved ;-))
• Free Library Collective*
• The Free Library Coalition
• The Free Library Initiative
• Free Library Commons
• The Public Library Coalition ** (this sounds like the public libraries are involved. Too civic. Pisses off librarians. Or: an opportunity re-appropriating that space. Risks being interpreted as "let the community take care of that".)
• The Amateur Librarian Coalition
• The shadow library coalition
• The society for the removal of obstacles to knowledge
• Shared, Society, Shard, Sharp S.Library.Access (SLAX).* (we should just act)
• The Society for Library Access (SLAX) (we should just act; dissassociate from Tom, Marcell, ... signees/of the letters, which is good. )
• Collective Reading Initiative/Coalition **
• Library Custodians association
• Radical ...
• custodians.online (easier to transfer, it is open; a follow up of the letter.)
• Public Library coalition for free access (sounds like MS project from the 90s)
• ...

Coalition better than collective. Should there be Library in the name? It restricts the space of action. Is this discussion happening too early? An identity crisis? Naming is a negative exercise; a name should not hurt.

Or: join an existing initiative (many of the projects, names do already exists)

• Involve students into the coalition -- Amateur librarian curriculum (connect to: opening courses, on-line teaching, opening materials) http://www.mondotheque.be/wiki/index.php/Amateur_Librarian_-_A_Course_in_Critical_Pedagogy Develop a one semester course based on http://pad.constantvzw.org/p/courtcases.amateurlibrarian + http://www.mondotheque.be/wiki/index.php/Amateur_Librarian_-_A_Course_in_Critical_Pedagogy In Graz. Local funding available for this; art-based research PEEK. Workshops, book, conference. Austria a good context for this. International project based on Public Library. Course ran by Tom and Marcell and/or develop it to be done by others.

Possible Grants (small money is easier)

• Horizon 2020 (heavy grant, EU, academic)
• PEEK art-based research (Austria) Deadline: May 2016. Tom, Marcell, Milica
• Columbia Global Innovation (20-30k easy to get)
• "Creating Commons" (working title), Research Project by Felix Stalder & Cornelia Sollfrank, to be funded by SNF (earliest starting point, 11.2016)
• Erasmus+ (EU)
• Hivos
• Leuphana can apply for Hivos funding to develop multiplicity strand (check with project manager first)
• Gary: Already involved in 2020 grant on Open Knowledge. Changes in the library, future of the library. Use "Public forum" for dissemination

Community Development:

• One more meeting, focus on multiplicity. Hivos? Sooner the better. Organise it as a conference, through Leuphana? Gary finds out. "collective media practices".
• To organise a follow-up of the current meeting
• a domain name, a title for the project -- Society for library access
• a web site as a resource, that serves as giving visibility to a loose collective of related projects in the free library space, useful for grant writing and creates a support network for those at personal risk of litigation, a place to publish documents / links / museum of media practice. Publishing in proximity (Marcell, Dennis set up wiki on SLAX.net). An advanced state of disorganisation.
  • Forensis. Build argumentations. A repository of research materials: bookmarks and documents; action defense portfolio (Ted, Marcell, Dennis, Bodo; Rosemary adds material from MayDay)
  • a page on geneology http://pad.constantvzw.org/p/courtcasesfromthefuture_genealogy (Dubi, Alan, Tom, Milica; Rosemary adds material from MayDay)
  • An archeology section of things that are not there any more. textz.com, gigapedia, ... (Dennis)
  • Build a public record of affiliations through statements of support: create a list of individuals, institutions that are involved; work on extending the list. (Dennis, Felix, Femke, Bodo, ...)
  • a collection of documents related to the courtcase (and similar ones). Protected somehow; be careful what can damage the case. (Marcell; Femke checks whether CRIDs/sciencespo people want to follow; Gary)
  • a list of courses, curricula, teaching resources (Femke)
  • museum of media practice
  • write a "communication" document, project description(s)
  • Annotating and documenting court documents and related data (develop an interface for this?) Develop a project on "the Interface of law" (Femke, Ted, Dubi)
    • creating a network graph of legal and no legal documents, individuals and institutions related to the aaaargh court case.
      • tool: http://influencemapping.org/blog/
  • bodo works on a scrapbook to document the growing discontent in the domain in which shadow libraries are also active: academic publishing, libraries, peer review, etc. 
• mailing list, irc
• An itemized list of types of programs that might be interested in the curriculum, and in what way

Press/communication Strategy

• Use ZKM, Solitude network to communicate the project. Needs a document.
• publishing with CUP, OH, Post Media Series, Meson Press; An anthology of the subject (ref. the pirate book). Make sure this book is framed outside of piracy. A book series. Post-media series? Multiple publishers.
• quick and dirty exhibition; including genealogy, difference from Public Library exhibition? www.wkv-stuttgart.de/programm/2014/veranstaltungen/public-library/
• A collective timeline of the public library, just do it
• "inflitrating" an existing festival
