Hello,
My name is Jeremy Pesner. I'm a first-year Master's student at
Georgetown University, and am interested in (re)starting the Georgetown
chapter. Though I made a presentation <http://prezi.com/26nfrgsry995/>, the
response from my classmates has been tepid. I am trying to pep their
enthusiasm, as I believe a lot of their interests, and those of my program,
are very much in line with SFC's. However, it has been difficult because of
a seeming lack of solidarity; there is nowhere I can point to which
indicates the latest happenings of Free Culture, including both the board
and the individual chapters. I had to do a lot of digging for any sort of
evidence that the movement still, in fact, exists. I even managed to speak
with Nelson Pavlosky, who doesn't seem to be so involved anymore.
I imagine, as people reading this email listserv and sitting on
SFC's board, that you believe in this movement and want it to succeed.
However, to be frank, it's very difficult to tell from my vantage point. Of
course everyone is busy and overcommitted, but in the time it took me to
write this email you could at least update the website. I'm sorry if I come
off as overly harsh, but I do need you to understand that new local chapters
can't flourish without a sense that we're actually connected to anyone. Then
we're just a group of Georgetown students who want to put on a couple of
events.
Best, Jeremy
