SFAI's Center for Media Culture and Leonardo, The International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology, will co-sponsor the next SFAI Design + Technology Salon on April 6 from 7 - 9:30 PM during which the RAQs Collective will initiate a discussion on the topic of "The Strange Destiny of Open Source in the Nation State" accompanied by a presentation on intellectual property issues by San Jose based writer and librarian Steve Cisler. The salon will consist of short 20-minute presentations followed by an ?open mic? and a lively Q&A. An open wine bar and food will precede the presentations and dessert will follow.

Hi:
You went overboard sending this to groups. For example, I cannot see how this is related to the "blasthaus fans" group.

Yeah, seriously: kidproto, you are being a tool
