Through our Defective by Design campaign, the Free Software Foundation is organizing against a proposal by Hollywood and major software companies to weave DRM (Digital Restrictions Management) into Web standards. The campaign is coming to a head this year, as the proposed restriction standards near a final decision by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

The session will start with an overview of the campaign's history. Then we'll have a collaborative brainstorming session to explore future directions for the campaign, what victory would look like, how to mobilize other groups and which media outlets we should focus on. Participants will leave the session with a sense of the FSF's campaign tactics and new opportunities for involvement in the campaign.
