Archive of F2C: Freedom to Connect 2015

[Last modified 18March15]

This page links to video of the events of F2C in the order in which they actiually occurred. Pointers to slides are included for those slides that are available to us.

The original livestream page is here, with a few feet more footage than is captured below. Heartfelt thanks to Joly McFie & Paul Brigner of ISOC, and Paul Hyland who came up from DC to help, without whom this video archive would not exist.

Many great photographs of F2C 2015 by Melissa Beckman, Doc Searls, Paul Brigner, Fumi Yamazaki, and perhaps others are at Flickr.Com tagged #F2C15.
