Shamelessly copying from Robert J. Berger's email from last year, I am
wondering if you will be able to continue your tradition of offering a
few free passes to this year's Emerging Tech Conference in San Diego
to members of Dave Farber's IP list or such. I was able to attend last
year's conference as a paying participant, and really enjoyed it, but
this year I too am currently "consulting" and am not in a position to
pay full fare. I would be grateful for the opportunity to attend if
possible.

I'd be glad to do so if Dave is willing.  The focus of the conference
this year is on wireless and "social software."  In addition to the
regular conference program, we're also holding a self-organizing
wiki-planned ad-hoc conference in the evenings, along the lines of what
I did at my "foo camp." (See http://conferences.oreilly.com/etech and
http://wiki.oreillynet.com/etech/hosted.conf?ParticipantSessions for
details.)

On the first day of the conference, February 9, we're also running a
separate event on digital democracy (see http://ddemo.oreilly.com),
focusing on the use of blogging and meetup by candidates, the
techniques for building a large and motivated based of activists used
by MoveOn and its Republican imitators, and the transparency issues
around electronic voting machines.

If Dave wants to run this message, the offer is as it was last year --
five free passes to either ETech or the Digital Democracy Teach-In
(i.e. five of each) to the first folks to contact Linda Holder
(lholder@xxxxxxxxxxx) requesting one of the IP spots.  (And we'll say
that you're the first one.)

OK.  If Dave wants to run this, we'll offer free passes to the first
five IP readers who contact Linda Holder (lholder@xxxxxxxxxxx) to
register, noting that they heard about the conference on IP.    The
conference is April 22-25 in Santa Clara, CA.  Details at
http://conferences.oreilly.com/etcon.

And even if Dave doesn't run it, we'll give you a pass.  You can be
the first of the five...

Hello,
Last year you offered a few free passes for members of Dave Farber's
IP list and I was gratefully able to attend the conference. Any chance
you might have a similar situation this year? I would like to attend
but as Dogbert has been known to say, "I'm not unemployed, I'm a
consultant"....

I would also be interested in participating in future conferences as a
speaker or panelist. I've been involved in "Open Spectrum", wireless
mesh, 802.11 stuff for the last few years. I just completed a 5 month
visiting research fellowship at the Center for Global Communications
(GLOCOM) in Tokyo. My focus there was a major report and presentation
on Open Spectrum technologies (Ultra-wideband, Cognitive/Software
Defined Radios, Mesh wireless) and  how they are impacting spectrum
regulatory policy.
