Day: October 2, 2007

Fred-mania in print and in person

Steve Outing of Editor and Publisher’s Stop the Presses asks newspapers “What’s Your Facebook Strategy?” But before he gets an answer from the papers, he asks friend and Facebook expert Fred Stutzman what a newspaper’s Facebook strategy should be.

Fred’s talk, “Do you REALLY know Facebook?” will be opening the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center’s free Current Science Forums at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 4, 2007 in MPSC’s Banquet Hall. Enter through the east entrance doors (near the Coker Arboretum) and come to the second floor.

What Bob says Bob Young will say

The connection between Ibiblio, Open Source, Lulu, and the number 42. will be the title of Bob Young’s talk on October 30 (details below).

And here’s a summary of how he’ll be making those connections:

Entrepreneurs can be found in all fields of human activity, not just business. The common characteristic of Entrepreneurs, and most humans for that matter, is they eventually get tired of just listening and throwing things at the television set, or the pompous Professor at the front of the room, or their software supplier, and instead decide one day to do something about it. This explains Paul Jones and Ibiblio, it explains Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds of the free-software-open-source-gnu-linux movement, and it explains Lulu. It also explains the number 42.
