This week in San Jose the National Science Foundation is bringing together academics and industrialists at the
Rebooting Computing: The magic and beauty of computer science symposium. The list of participants is amazing. Here is an example, but you'll have to sign up (free) on the reebootingcomputing.org site for an account, and then login before you can see this -- a forum thread where Alan Kay, Gene Spafford, Grady Booch, and Dennis Frailey talk about open source software, security, and trustworthyness. After you login in, here are links to:
- Frailey on defense contractors and FOSS
- Spafford's response, talking about security
- Alan Kay (and if you scroll down, Booch and Vint Cerf) respond.
One of the better signal to noise ratio discussions I've read in a while.
I've also posted two comments to Steve's
post about security. No guarantee about
my signal to noise ratio :)
