8 New Papers and Book + Search on opensource.mit.edu

Hello All,

Hope everyone is doing great.  I apologize for my long absence - I just became a Father and have been busy
learning new skills (more details here http://spoudaiospaizen.net/) and doing a massive literature
review on babies :)

Thanks to all for your patience.

We now have over 150 submissions on our website (exact count = 157).  Congratulations to the whole community
for contributing your early ideas and thoughts and making this endeavor worthwhile for Eric von Hippel
and me.

Below you will find the details on the papers.  Thanks to all the authors for their submissions

Also Michael Wechner has been very kind to have implemented search functionality on the website.  He has set
up a trial link here http://mit.oscom.org/ - Please go beat it up and if you like it we can integrate it into
the main site.  Many thanks to Michael!

Ciao for now!!!

Wizards of OS 3. The Future of the Digital Commons > 10-12 June

Wizards of OS 3
The Future of the Digital Commons
June 10 - 12, 2004
Berlin Congress Center
http://wizards-of-os.org/

In four weeks, the international conference Wizards of OS 3 will be 
held in the Berliner Congress Center. For three days, 80 specialists 
from 23 countries will be considering and exchanging views on the 
future of our digital commons. Programmers, artists, scientists and 
activists will present their projects, conduct workshops and discuss 
with participants ways in which free software, free content, free 
networks and open archives can be productively applied towards a new 
order of knowledge.

WOS 3 will present examples of successful projects which share this 
aim, examples that may inspire emulation and further development, 
such as Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, and the Simputer, 
with its free hardware design. Just as our natural environment 
survives only due to the efforts of a now powerful movement, our 
digital environment needs similar protection from privatization. 
Addressing the global challenge of a united movement for the freedom 
of knowledge will be, among others, Lawrence Lessig, founder of the 
Creative Commons initiative, Charlotte Hess, commons researcher, and 
Eben Moglen, professor of law and author of the GPL.

Knowledge share within the community

Dear All,

It was glad to see the discussion on the list. I have 'another topic'. Can u
help me? 

I have to write an essay and I'm looking for any kind of information about the
subjet. How the people share their knowledge and why they want to do this? (I
mean, to share the knowlwdge?)

Cheers,
Gabor
