Cool as usual Larry. You get all the fun gigs! Actually in this thread Harrison and MH got some cool ones too.
Thomas Madsen-Mygdal, who spent some time with Harrison a couple of years ago used Open Space for the reboot conference in Denmark last year One person who was there wrote about it thusly: "So, journalists' criticism notwithstanding, we realize this year's Reboot event has actually changed. The audience is reduced to approximately 500 compared to last year's 1300 and there is a whole new spirit to it all, mainly because of the brand new approach to throwing a party. This is Open Space, a multidirectional, demanding and rewarding way of meeting new people and sharing ideas. It has its flaws, but that just adds to the fun. And Cory Doctorow's talk was just excellent."
