On January 15th, I’m going to be giving a talk on a panel at the Computing in the Cloud conference held by Ed Felten’s Center for Information Technology Policy at Princeton University. The conference description says:
“Computing in the cloud” is one name for services that run in a Web browser and store information in a provider’s data center — ranging from adaptations of familiar tools such as email and personal finance to new offerings such as virtual worlds and social networks. This workshop will bring together experts from computer science, law, politics and industry to explore the social and policy implications of this trend.
I’m going to talk about the AGPL 3.0, why it’s important that we put effort into figuring out what freedom for different technologies means, and what the components of freedom for web services might be.
Registration is free and bags you a name-tag and lunch.
Worth noting perhaps, the conference is sponsored by Microsoft.
