Nicholas Gruen will be talking on social production and open source in Melbourne on Wednesday. It’s for the Fabian society (impressed that Race Mathews has kept this going).
Details:
“New Models of Social Production: Open Source and its economic and social significance.�
Meeting details are 6 for 6:30pm to 8pm, Wednesday, 13 September, in Meeting Room 1, Trades Hall (Victoria Street Entrance), Cnr Lygon and Victoria Streets, Carlton. Australian Fabian Society members $6, non-members $8, concession $3.
It sounds fascinating. I’ll chase the paper and report on it if I get time.

Unfortunately another speaker was engaged for the same date and Nicholas Gruen’s talk has been moved to the 4th of October (provisionally, I am sure some official details will be forthcoming).
