Open Source Rough Justice
,----[ Quote ]
| In a way, this is a validation of the characterization of the Net as
| a "global village": Formal, governmental enforcement mechanisms are a
| substitute for older reputation-based methods that use social pressure and
| shunning as primary sanctions — methods that had become impractical as social
| cooperation expanded beyond the village level

The importance of open source in a legal process
,----[ Quote ]
| At my first daily news job, the “slot” editor would take the work of
| reporters out of a pneumatic tube, assign it to another desk editor for
| checking, then re-check the desk editor’s work to prepare the day’s list of
| stories for the decision-makers. (Yes, it was indeed a series of tubes.)
|
| When the open source process is energized, reporters take the job of the slot
| editor, calling on readers for basic research, digesting the results and
| constantly re-starting the process. Lawyers also take on this role, as at the
| EFF.

| recently I ran across the Open Bar Association where they feature
| discussions for lawyers by lawyers from all over the planet. Some
| of the topics discussed include linking analysis, GPL and license
| compatibility and other considerations.

| not surpass, the clandestine intelligence produced by government
| agencies.

| Indeed, open-source methods have already proved their worth in
| counterterrorism.

Can open source methodology make a movie?
,----[ Quote ]
| We all know that open source is being used to help make movies. Linux
| and open source software have been used in rendering farms for major
| pictures like Shrek, Lord of the Rings, and many others. Earlier
| this year the Blender project released Elephants Dream, the first
| movie made entirely with open source graphics software. But can
| the open source methodology be used to create a movie? The folks
| behind The Digital Tipping Point (DTP) are betting it can.

| Broadcast Information Service, the Open Source Center's mission in recent
| years has shifted from translating newspaper and television reports from

| trains intelligence agents and others in government.
