Got to hang with Dave Winer for lunch and for a little look at ibiblio. John explained <a href=\"http:\/\/osprey.ibiblio.org\">Osprey (for enabling bitTorrent)<\/a>. Got Dave lined up with Ruby and Brian for the evening. A very good connection for all of them.<br \/>\nDinner with Anton, John E, Phil and Sue Meyers, Fred and Sally and Dan Gillmor. Good to see Phil and Dan reconnect and to hear them talk about the future of news. The rest of us were interesting too, but these two are the ones.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday. Bloggers Con. Much written on this below and on the wiki. Successful beyond our wildest hopes.<br \/>\nLunch with Henry Copeland (of Blogads) at Allen and Son. Others had escaped to Franklin Street. But we needed to give Dan a culural experience.<br \/>\nDinner that night with Dan, Dave, Ruby, Brian, and Carrboro Alderman Mark Chilton at Tallula&#8217;s (see Conis entry). Good talk of wireless networks, towns, blogging and new technologies including podcasting.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday. Off to G&#8217;boro to visit the folks at the News and Record where John Robinson and Lex Alexander are leading the paper into new areas of interactivity, transparency and citizen involvement. JR and Lex had invited local bloggers as well.<br \/>\nGood to spend time with Ed Cone and to have an expansive discussion of G&#8217;boro history and futures with him.<br \/>\nDinner with faculty from SILS and JOMC &#8212; Jeff Pomerantz, Tom Kelleher, Deborah Barreau and Martin Kuhn (Martin is a PhD student who will be faculty soon enough). Talk here about new Public Relations developments through blogging and the net. Ethics. News libraries and access to archives and law.<\/p>\n<p>Monday. Dan visited my class on Emerging Tech and Issues. The class has read his book and so Dan could also talk about his view of Silicon Valley and the future of jobs in tech and the internationization of all things tech especially.<br \/>\nThis led nicely into a lunch with Matthew Szulik of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redhat.com\">Red Hat<\/a>. Matthew was just back from India. Good talk about internationalization, open source attitudes outside the USA, varieties of attitudes toward intellectual properties and the like.<br \/>\nGot to spend more time with Matthew and even got to hear TJ explain the differences between covers, mash-ups and remixes.<br \/>\nFred explained <a href=\"http:\/\/lyceum.ibiblio.org\">Lyceum<\/a> to Dan.<br \/>\nDan&#8217;s talk drew a nice crowd even on a rainy afternoon. He went over what he means by citizen journalism and about information sharing in the form of news. Good discussion followed and went on before I had to cut it off at 5:15.<br \/>\nExceptional evening with Jennifer O&#8217;Bryan, Megan Barrett, Frank Daniels, Bob Young and Brett Dougherty. I cannot begin to capture all the good fellowship and talk that was had. I can say that few Americans can carry on such an indepth discussion of Canadian Football or even more specifically of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ticats.ca\/\">Hamilton Tiger-Cats<\/a> as can Brett. I am impressed in a very odd way. Bob, who owns the TiCats, had as you might imagine some amusing insights into the business of Canadian Football. I was sorry to hear that the TiCats&#8217; mascot Bengal Tiger had passed on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friday.
