I too am so glad to see that someone took some
notes. Alot of good brainstorming and information
sharing happens at this conference but it seems
that little gets shared with the public which is
sad.
One of the reasons I didn't attend was that there
tends to be such a pessimistic air about issues
discussed there. I know things can be bad but
surely we can make them better!
In retrospective, I am sorry I didn't attend
this year though. It's not good to just stick one's head in the sand and think that good things
will just happen. And being a hacker/geek/artist type, the
program just didn't grab my interest much. But
I missed seeing friends there and getting the
scoop on current issues which is something that
generally happens outside of the program/talks.
The part on the DMCA seems important and
I want to find out more about all the issues that
surround it.
Thanks again to Roger for posting his notes.
I really appreciate you taking the time and effort
to share. It's acts like this that give me hope.
