The only thing that might be disadvantageous is that people can offer bad downloads, that may contain disruptive codes. Open source is an awesome.

It does look interesting. As for more posts about PdF 2008, I have to first catch up with other stuff, and then I'll try to go through my PdF notes and see what' worth posting about.

I definitely think there is a case for deeper links between open source movements and people looking to 'open source' traditional political processes. It's great that the Foundation is helping to make this link happen. If you haven't seen it yet, check out Chris Kelty's new book Two Bits (http://twobits.net/read/). It's a super articulate and deep look at free software as a social movement ... looking through a sympathetic yet rigorous anthropologists lens. I just recommended this to a community organizer friend trying to figure out how open source impacts her work. It would also be great reading for people at PDF. Looking forward to your posts from the floor. Especially interested to hear about the leadership panel Brian is on. Great post, Frank.
