--- From: Mary Bridges <mbridges@private> To: "'declan@private'" <declan@private> Subject: Darl McBride's visit to Harvard Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2004 09:36:50 -0500 Hi Declan, I wrote a story for the Berkman Center for Internet and Society about the appearance of Darl McBride at Harvard Law School last week that Prof. Jonathan Zittrain suggested I send you: <http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/briefings/sco>http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/briefings/sco. The piece - Questioning the Kernel - describes the dynamic between McBride and the audience, comprised mostly of open source diehards. There were some great moments at the event: McBride entered the lecture hall with two security guards, while the "opposition" (two polite MIT students) distributed free software to the audience. The question and answer session also became heated, as the computer scientists grew increasingly frustrated with McBride's evasive responses. I hope you enjoy the write-up, and I'm always grateful for feedback! Thanks, Mary Bridges Berkman Center for Internet and Society _______________________________________________ Politech mailing list Archived at http://www.politechbot.com/ Moderated by Declan McCullagh (http://www.mccullagh.org/)
