I was lucky enough to be in the audience at the Expo. I obviously works even better with the crowd, but the video version is very good too.<BR/><BR/>I would love to hear more on the extension of the stack into the distribution and community layers briefly mentioned in the presentation. Anything on that coming up?<BR/><BR/>I'm also waiting for that report you mentioned to be published.Ollehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11424609248563219811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24244078.post-62696264891447450332007-11-10T10:48:00.000Z2007-11-10T10:48:00.000ZHow great it is !<BR/>Thanks so much for your vision & pedagogy !<BR/>I have retrieve in it many of the topics i am working on:<BR/>propagation, innovation, "memes", acceleration....<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to seeing your next work !<BR/><BR/>Marc TirelMarc Tirelhttp://connecteur.blogspirit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24244078.post-8200994395332279942007-11-09T14:23:00.000Z2007-11-09T14:23:00.000ZPatent is a key issue I started to better understand after a very insightful read: "Du bon Usage de la piraterie" (http://www.freescape.eu.org/piraterie/index.html)<BR/>I wish they were a English translation of this book, I'm sure you'd like it as well.<BR/><BR/>Conference in Paris, let me think... "Le Web 3" is one, there are others, but they may be too "specialized" or too "french"<BR/><BR/>"Salon Solution Linux" is one I like a lot, though.Françoishttp://www.droff.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24244078.post-75094687909303492642007-11-09T07:23:00.000Z2007-11-09T07:23:00.000ZHi Francois, <BR/><BR/>Thank you very much for your kind words. I've been giving these presentations for many years, and such words are important to me.<BR/><BR/>The topics I discuss, I've covered in one form or another for the last decade - though obviously the ideas have improved with time.<BR/><BR/>Regarding your two questions. I have long argued that the issue with software patents (or in fact any patent) stems from the balancing of the length of time that a monopoly is given vs the likely time of independent discovery in society and that alternative mechanisms already exist for encouraging innovation. I have a number of slides on this - I'll dig them out.<BR/><BR/>When am I coming to Paris? Well, I inquired about Le Web 3 but unfortunately they were fully booked with speakers. <BR/><BR/>Is there a conference you would recommend in Paris?swardleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04702421918430488600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24244078.post-84100660662227777182007-11-08T17:55:00.000Z2007-11-08T17:55:00.000ZThis one of the greatest presentation I've ever seen. Thanks a lot for your work, this is GREAT material !<BR/><BR/>I just have 2 questions :<BR/><BR/>I would love to know more about your point of view on patent. Do you have other materials on that subject ?<BR/><BR/>When are you coming to Paris ? I'd love to see you live. :-)Françoishttp://www.droff.comnoreply@blogger.com
