| Last week, O’Reilly Media hosted the 2008 Open Source Convention (OSCON) in
| Portland, Oregon. The conference is described as “the crossroads of all
| things open source, bringing together the best, brightest, and most
| interesting people to explore what’s new, and to champion the cause of open
| principles and open source adoption across the computing industry,” and
| featured speakers from all over the open source community. The talks and
| panels are (of course) available online.

| Issues like privacy, transparency, and the open sourcing of software that
| plays out in the public domain are tremendously important subjects, but
| they’re equally tremendously unsexy. People don’t seem to want to learn about
| them, let alone fight for them. So, has it fallen to tech savvy citizens to
| step up, and lead society away from the potential pitfalls and abuses of new
| technology? Or have citizens got an obligation to educate themselves, and
| just pay the price if they don’t?
