The iLaw conference

The iLaw conference 05/14/2004 07:42 AM

It's not really a conference, they're classes, taught mostly by people I know, who I've never seen teach. And they're good.

It's the opposite of my ideal for a conference, a teacher is like a super-speaker, but they do it so well, it's a pleasure to participate. It's been 27 years since I was in a classroom as a student. I forgot how good it can be.

Lessig, Zittrain, Fisher, Benkler. Great stuff. Glad I went. This morning it's Fisher and Nesson, then Lessig, Benkler and Nesson again.

Palfrey says this is the essential Berkman experience. Hey, it's a side of Berkman I had yet to experience, and it's really coool.

Thanks to Berkman Center

Thanks to Berkman Center 04/16/2004 05:05 AM

Over the next few days I'm going to call out some of the people who made this conference happen.

First thanks to Berkman Center. Before coming here I had talked about doing conferences, since the early 90s, but it took the support of John Palfrey to get me to actually take the chance. I remember standing in his office last spring, about a year ago, asking if he really wanted to do it, and he said in Paltreyesque fashion "Desperately." Desperation, that's a good motivator!

Thanks to Catherine Bracy and Wendy Koslow, who cheerfully navigated the emergencies, brownouts and weirdnesses of doing a blogger's conference at a big Ivy League school. It's the first time I've worked with Catherine, and the second time with Wendy. This conference wouldn't have happened without their help.

Thanks to the Berkman Thursday group. To Jay McCarthy, who's responsible for the technical aspects of the conference, to Lisa Williams who is doing the User Vision session, and helped out in many other ways, to Jessica Baumgart for leading the Librarians session, Sooz for organizing the Durgin Park dinner, Mike Walsh for help organizing and to all the regulars who participated in the process.

It takes months of hard and creative work and lots of support to pull a conference like this out of thin air. If it works, it's a miracle. Knock wood, praise Murphy, I am not a lawyer, it's even worse than it appears.

In the Charts: Media Center 2005 PCs
Take Center Stage Among Desktops 12/29/2004 11:54 AM
This month's Top 15 Desktop PCs chart highlights two trends: the emergence of powerful new gaming systems that have sophisticated style, and the rapidly growing selection of Media Center PCs, which expand PC-based home entertainment beyond gaming. Examples of the former are two new Athlon-fueled machines that sit atop the power section of our chart: Alienware's Aurora 64 FX-55 and ABS's Ultimate M5-64. Both of these systems are visually appealing without shouting "I'm just for games." Not only are they the two fastest systems on the chart, but they also produced outstanding sound with their high-end Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 cards and their 5.1-channel Logitech speakers (the X-530 and the Z-680, respectively).

That's right, The Center for Internet and Society at Stanford University is full of Comment Spam (and that's why I didn't link to them--it's http://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/ if you want to check it yourself). Steve nicely quantifies the problem and notes that for a place full of Internet big shots, they're pretty stupid about this. The Center for Internet and Society at Stanford University is chock-full of serious luminaries, but for people who are so bright and internet-aware, they are shockingly clueless...

Axil Comras of Green Home points us to PlaNetwork, a conference June 5-6 in San Francisco on technology and social change. Presenters from MoveOn, the Dean Campaign, LinkedIn, and dozens of other outfits will discuss timely topics like e-voting, social networking, and grassroots digital activism. At $100 per day, it's not cheap. However, if you get three other people to list you as the referral when they pay, you get in free. So do a bit of pre-planning with three friends and all four of you can cut 25 percent off the admission cost! Link

LayerOne Technology Conference in LA
June 12-13 04/29/2004 11:28 PM
BoingBoing buddy boogah says:

A few of us have been working overtime to get a little technology conference together in Los Angeles together. We've tried to make LayerOne an event for both the geek set and the suit in IT and our roster of speakers can back those claims up. In fact, here's a sampling of four of our dozen speakers:

- Danny O'Brien will be rehashing his talk from Emerging Tech 2004 [a crowd favorite] about the work habits of alpha geeks.
- Jason Schultz from the EFF talking about the DMCA and how it's stifling innovation.
- USC professor Douglas Thomas covering the politics of code.
- Dan Kaminsky, author of network toolset Paketto Keiretsu cranking out some more code/theory that's bound to marvel and frighten.

Not bad, eh? There's eight more talks where those four came from. We're currently in the middle of early bird registration - where we're shaving $10 off the $50 door price. That's a weekend's worth of talks and a free beer social on Saturday night for $40.

Wizards of OS copyright conference in
Berlin, June 13 05/14/2004 06:20 AM
The Wizards of OS conference coming on June 13 in Berlin will feature some very good speakers on copyright and copywrong, including my co-worker Wendy Seltzer.

Copyright law has become one of the most important and controversial drivers of the Information Society. The Internet has made every user a publisher, but copyright rules governing their activities are often determined by opaque international bodies that decide rules with little public input.

Join us in Berlin to debate where copyright should be going to ensure that authors, musicians, film-makers and the public will all benefit. Engage wih leading international thinkers from across Europe and the United States. Meet colleagues who are working to make sure all members of society benefit from copyright.

Attendance is free.

Folks, give Robert Scoble a break. Folks over at Microsoft are feeling a little defensive these days, and he just wanted to point out that Microsoft can still be a great place to work. Apparently Hillary Clinton, the President of Indochina, had lunch with Malcolm Gladwell there, where they signed his super tablet computer. Rock on.

That wasn't really my point. My post was replying to a n article by a recruiter at Microsoft who complained about the talent landscape:

“Hiring Managers (and I’m referring to Microsoft Hiring Managers … but I know this problem exists in other companies) not ‘getting’ the talent landscape.  Not only do they not seem to understand that brilliant software engineers don’t grow on trees (you don’t, do you?) … but they can’t seem to get it through their heads that 1)  Microsoft isn’t the only place hiring, 2) Working at a big company isn’t everyone’s dream, and 3)  Redmond is not the first place people say they want to move when they wake up in the morning.”

That's a recruiter who works for Microsoft talking, not me.

So, my point to Gretchen, sympathetically, was, “recruiting has to be done at the Bill and Steve level, not at the Gretchen level.” Want to solve Microsoft's recruiting problem? Open a downtown development center in Pioneer Square and another one South of Market in San Francisco. Then split up the company into lots of small, well-funded startups and give people stock options in their own products, which actually have a fighting chance of growing. Then create some spinoffs with their own personality. Spin off X-Box so it feels more like a cool gaming startup rather than a big corporate “General Motors Trying to Sell Hip Things to an Appealing Demographic.” I'm sure there are a million other ideas, but none of the kind of decisions that would make Microsoft an even more attractive workplace are in the hands of the recruiting department or even the hiring managers. No wonder there's so much frustration.

Years and years and years ago when I started this site I wrote that “a software company has to think of recruiting the right people as its number one problem.”. After five years of running Fog Creek I still think that way, which is why we set up Project Aardvark.

Seth Godin wrote: “I feel sorry for Judy Verses. She's the Chief Marketing Officer of Verizon, a brand that is justifiably reviled by millions of people. Is Verizon disdained, mistrusted and avoided because Judy's not doing a great job? Of course not. She's doing a great job.”

Read what Seth has to say. Marketing is the CEO's job, since that's the only person who can really drive the kinds of changes that the public cares about. And recruiting is the CEO's job, too.
