[FC-discuss] Free Culture Forum?

[Ben Moskowitz]

The FCForum is turning out to be a major cultural event in Barcelona.  
But my impression is that they don't have extra funding for this— 
better would be to seek funding from your universities. Most have  
funding pools for students to attend these kinds of events.

Board is happy to write recommendation letters and the organizers of  
FCForum will certify attendance. You'd be surprised how easy it is to  
get funding for this kind of travel—take a look!

Going forward we're going to try and secure funding for the SFC  
organization. Hopefully by this time next year we'll be able to send  
student delegations to events.
