Unwinding after the 1 of 50 Parties

Got back earlier from the 1 of 50 parties with Jimmy Wales and Heather Ford.

It was good catching up with the likes of Dave, Max, Katherine, Neil, Glen, Jason, Pat, Gerado, Ashley, Joe, and various others I've bumbed into at previous 27 Dinners and other places.

Heather Ford announced that they are planning on building the first Free Culture House in Cape Town, South Africa. So far they've raised R50 tonight to go towards building the Free Culture House.

Lightspeed's Ashley Shaw spoke about an end to email and using other means of communicating like using Wiki's.

The Shuttleworth Foundation's Andrew Rens spoke a bit and it was mentioned that he worked on the South African versions of the Creative Commons licenses.

We had one of the ladies from UCT read a poem and promote one of her artists who had never heard of wikis before's art work.

What others had to say about the 1 of 50 parties with Jimmy and Heather:

Musizk

I've been listening to a track called My Life Changed which is a sound track which Cora Beth a violist added a violin track to a piece called My Life which was released under a Creative Commons license. What I find amasing is that the My Life Changed track sounds better than just the gituar piece on it's own.

More tracks from Colin Mutchler are available.
