Access to Knowledge Conference

September 22, 2008 in Syndicated

Some things I just find out about too late. Consider the Access to Knowledge conference hosted by the Information Society Project at Yale Law School. “A2K” was held in Switzerland from September 8 – 10. It looked like a really interesting conference about what we at GeekPAC like to call information rights. Check out this part:

The conference, the largest of its kind, will consider how, in a global knowledge economy, the ability to access and produce information and control its dissemination increasingly determines wealth, innovation, human development, and individual freedom.

This kind of terminology is very much in line with what we have in our position paper. Sometimes it feels like nobody else really pays attention to these issues, so it’s nice to see that we’re not alone. Hopefully, I won’t miss the conference the next time around.

  • wow… the right-wing blogosphere is in a tizzy about the logan act: http://tinyurl.com/55qk7z #
  • @guyma true that – I’m just waiting to see what the fallout is #
  • @cdibona I wish every bailout were accompanied by a tar and feathering of all execs responsible #
  • @ragavan sounds like a job for Palin ;) #
  • dumb question here – if WaMu folds, will FDIC protection mean that I can still access my checking account? OR SHOULD I WITHDRAW NOW #
  • @mikeini thanks for the quick reply! #
  • @MelWebster thanks! #
  • @garethgreenaway LOL… :) #
  • I would like to warmly thank GWB for allowing me to witness firsthand a financial meltdown the likes of which I’ve only read about in books #
  • Interesting analysis of WaMu situation wrt FDIC: http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?rn=289004&cl=9778400&src=finance&ch=1316259 #
  • Basically WaMu’s FDIC-backed assets=$180 bil. FDIC reserves=$50 bil. link says to look for merger – either that or we print lots of $$$$ #
  • @hunleyd yeah, I thought twitter did that automagically #
  • Joe Firmage launches environmental social network: http://communities.earthportal.org/ #
