Just in this morning from OSCON - Kevin Lenzo introduces "Yet Another Society", a fund devoted to helping developers working in Perl and
other open source technologies. Larry Wall makes the first donation.
Yeah, Dr. Dobb's Technetcast is covering the debate here: http://technetcast.ddj.com/tnc_catalog.html?item_i d=1267
And if you don't want to sit through the whole thing, O'ReillyNet's Open Source Convention coverage will have a shorter version up later today.

John McDonald wrote this excellent article on the subject of Mathworld, and its important legal implications for authors and publishers over who owns the digital rights to Internet content.
O'Reilly actually has a rocking User Group Program (ug.oreilly.com) and one of the membership benefits is that we can arrange speaking engagements with our authors. If an author is already in your area, it would be of no charge to your group, of course. If you request an author outside your area though, there could be travel expenses, but we never charge the group for the actual appearance.
So if you want to check out our Events page: http://events.oreilly.com/. (For example, we have Rita Lewis, author of Mac OS in a Nutshell, making a presentation to the Maryland Apple Corps. 6:30 - 8:45 p.m., Nov. 14).
