CONSEGI 2008, Day Two

CONSEGI panel

A more detailed update from the second day of CONSEGI will be forthcoming but this picture is from a panel called “Modelos de Licenciamento para Software Livre” (Free Software Licensing Models), which included Alexandre Oliva from the Latin American Free Software Foundation, Pedro de Rezende (University of Brasilia), Claudio Ruiz Gallardo (Direitos Digitales, a digital rights group from Chile) and moderated by Bruno Souza (Open Source Initiative). Other discussion topics from CONSEGI 2008 Day Two included production of publicly-owned knowledge, models of governing information technology/communications, and mechanisms of support and innovation in software engineering. While these topics might sound a bit dry, they represent some of the most cutting-edge technology policies that exist throughout the world, compared to the “Washington consensus” model of “bribe, install, wait for Service Pack” :)
