Could open source have built Silicon Valley?
,----[ Quote ]
| In Silicon Valley, innovation is the fertilizer that makes the crops grow.
| With open source, software is more like topsoil, and those who nurture that
| soil believe they will prosper longer than those who just throw fertilizer on
| it.
|
| Invention is the plant corporations harvest for their profit. Software is the
| environment on which everyoneâs survival depends.
|
| OSCON, I think, is better off in Portland.

Portland Oregon Hosts Lindependence Event
,----[ Quote ]
| To the surprise of many, Lindependence 2008 did not end in Felton California.
| What many thought to be a publicity stunt has proven to be exactly what the
| founders planned for it to be...a template. So where do we go from here?
|
| Portland Oregon.
|
| While the initial founders of Lindependence could have looked back on Felton
| with rested satisfaction, neither of them decided that was what they wanted
| to do. When David Kaplan and Tyler Bearden approached Larry Cafiero about
| conducting the event in Portland, Larry and Ken were more than glad to help.
| With a bit of guidance from the founders, David and Tyler have worked hard to
| bring this next event into reality.
