Ugh, the !OSCON opening music was loud & annoying. I'm old, I guess. @edd and Sarah are introducing opening keynotes.

congrats and thanks for the work! ♻ @bkuhn: re: my award received at #OSCON. I wrote an "acceptance speech" blog post: http://ur1.ca/9tmfk

Congratulations, it's very well deserved. I'm surprised to read Karen got it before you did.

Lawyers are unabashedly self-promotional. A lawyer on !OSCON panel say that you shouldn't make any #swpats decisions w/out hiring a lawyer.

I disagree. For many small companies, their patent portfolio helps sweeten the deal when potential acquirers come around.

@carlopiana you might like the #DPL. AFAICT if it does anything, creates disincentive to file http://ur1.ca/9t5e3

that’s more a myth than else. But yes, that might be one reason. don’t get me wrong @bkuhn, though i hate software …

#BlueHost keynote is really a corporate sales pitch. Slowly but surely, !OSCON drifted from conference to trade show;LinuxWorld lives again!

As #Microsoft leaves !OSCON stage, #TheWho's "Won't Get Fooled Again" plays. Subtle. "The world looks just the same/& history ain't changed"

@sabdfl follows @webmink onto stage at !OSCON. He starts with a slide that uses the word !canonical not in the canonical way.

@bkuhn Now that was s canonical dent ;-)

@sadbfl @bkuhn probably not, 'crowdsourcing' is kinda part of the gig.

At #r0ml's !OSCON talk. Sorry @fontana isn't here b/c r0ml's his favorite speaker. Audience is amazed ORA's software is proprietary. I'm not

Tim O'Reilly argues in !OSCON keynote that for-profits take more from FLOSS than they give back. If he believes that,why's he anti-copyleft?

@bkuhn I'm not there so don't know what his point is, but I wish he'd go all-out: taking a form of giving. No more half-assed argumentation.
-
That makes no sense.

"Dealing with other people" (95%), "Real work" (5%). So True !oscon.

Off to federal court for #Jury_Duty. I'd love to get on a trial, but I doubt they want someone who's been a 30(b)(6) witness in that Court.

Cool thing about Grand Jury: it's 23 people, only 16 needed for quorum. Judge told me clearly I could miss for scheduled trips, like !OSCON.
-
My #Grand_Jury isn't meeting today. This is definitely convenient way to serve jury duty; not schedule-disruptive like a petit jury can be.

My EDNY Federal #GrandJury (Regular Wed 2011-11-21) was surreptitiously disbanded. GJ Coordinator,says rules for such "aren't written down"!

Speaking of #Purell here's a better photo of me with @bkuhn at #oscon 2011 taken by @michaeldexter http://ur1.ca/9fhx7

@sazius, ISTR @michaeldexter made the point: @fontana & I took #Purell every time we walked by there, so he had us pose for a picture w/ it

@freemjd, who does @bruceperens say that about? Tim O'Reilly is a VC these days, AFAICT. That matters in the hacker news crowd, I presume :)
-
@bkuhn It's a quote from a panel discussion @rms & @bruceperens did a few years ago. http://ur1.ca/92hlv
-
@bkuhn @bruceperens didn't specify to whom he was referring. There was some speculation of course: http://ur1.ca/92hn7

@bkuhn Would be awesome to see you at Oggcamp! :)

@bkuhn maybe we need to form a startup. I figure all it takes is reading Hacker News religiously.
