F2C Update: Barlow joins F2C Program!

The F2C program is nearing its final form. John Perry Barlow will speak on "The Ignorant Network." (I wonder where he got that idea?) Other recent additions to the program include Esme Vos from MuniWireless, Andrew Schwartzman of the Media Access Project and Jay Stanley of the ACLU.

UPDATE: Dewayne Hendricks will join the "Building Connected Communities" panel.

Food during the day: I have hired the caterer at the local Whole Foods. I'm also negotiating with the theater to crank up the popcorn machine for PM breaks.

Dinner plans for F2C: After the last session Wednesday, around 5:30 PM, we will file out the back door to enter Eggspectations via the kitchen. We have the place all night. Open bar til ten, then buy your own til 11. We'll hear from Barlow, Crawford and Cerf in the course of the evening. And there are plenty of nooks to hear from each other, too.

Network: Thanks to Atlantech Online (a nearby ISP), Motorola and Cisco, we're likely to have 20 megabits at AFI Silver by conference time. I went to work on it last week, made some progress but failed to establish a link. Yet. Stay tuned. I'm a practice what you preach kinda guy, and I want more bandwidth than we can imagine using and right-now latencies.

Bring your 802.11 laptops. The back-channel will be integral to the meeting!

More soon.
