Umm...  It's not really a direct Linux issue though is it?  (Chat would be a great place for this discussion.)

Leaving this on slug@ because it's a SLUG comment, not a licence one:

Given that there's been some discussion on here about:

 1. Talk policies

 and

 2. Talk licencing

I'll put it on the agenda for the next committee meeting. More opinions
are welcome before then, especially from people who have seriously
considered licencing creative works, especially non-text ones, under a
free licence. What licence would you recommend for SLUG talks and why?
(non-SLUG creative licencing discussion to slug-chat please)

As far as talk policies go, I'm pretty serious when I say the informal
policy at the moment is:

 if you're keen and your topic sounds interesting (for the SLUG
 audience), you're in!

We await talk offers to committee@xxxxxxxxxxx
