Subject: File 7--Computer Freedom and Privacy III Conf. (Report 7)

Also, FYI, I not only considered this a superb conference, but came
not only for my own education, but to identify selected individuals
representing this community who could bring some of these
perspective
to my own conference where at least one third (even two fifths) of
the
audience is from the intelligence community.  Paul Wallner is going
to
see about funding a few more intelligence professionals from
different
agencies to attend next year, and commented to me that NSA absence
was
noted.  The flip side is to put a few from here on the posium
(podium)
at my place, and as many as are interested in the audience.  We
talk
about sources of multi-media open data, tools (including INTERNET
and
WAIS) for handling that data, and LEGAL/CONTRACTUAL issues
including
how rest of government (not old "security" core) can develop open
intelligence capabilities, and how government and private sector
can
share burden to increase amount of open data going into the public
domain, or as Lee would say, the information commonwealth.  I hope
a
number of you take Barlow's lunch speech seriously enough to be
open
to the idea of coming to Washington in November.  I am tentatively
planning for 33 scholarships, and give my word that--with the
advice
of your existing scholarship director just to verify need--I
actively
seek the most vocal representatives of CFP issues, without
prejudice
as to social or economic status (!).

I really enjoyed this event, and thank all of you who took the time
to
talk to me or to participate in our BOF circle.
