I started thinking about how these laptops could easily become the instruments for an international id program, and for all the reasons that people are concerned about this, OLPC should seriously consider shipping with tools which support anonymous network activity. Tools like TOR, which regrettably the EFF has just had to cut funding for… If you think this is important, perhaps you might want to chime in, and let laptop people know.

It was for this reason that I am extra-excited that <a HREF="http://www.4sonline.org/meeting.htm" rel="nofollow">4S</A> has now moved to mixed formats, including: ************ Some sessions at the Vancouver 4S will be designated "working sessions" for which papers will be available online in advance, and allotted time will be primarily for discussion. If you would like to organize a working session please contact Josh Greenberg, Tarleton Gillespie , or Sergio Sismondo Some sessions at the Vancouver 4S will be designated "new media". If you would like to organize a session or participate in one please contact Linda Layne. **** 4S so far as been one of my favorite conferences (and you should consider presenting there, folks dig open source there), and these new varied formats are an extra boon. As per "reading from papers" I am mostly against it unless it is done well, and it is usually not done so at least 50% of the time (it is hard to write as if you are talking, we rarely do that type of writing). I appreciate it because the presenter can offer a more nuanced point but usually the presentation becomes to monotone to follow. Since it is expected where I present, I usually do so, but with a lot of free flow talking spread throughout. biella As one who attends a lot of open source/hacker conferences and academics ones, it is a shame that academic ones don’t mix it up a little more as do the developers cons.
