Over the last week , I discovered Three Outstanding Women who should be noted and engaged.
Latanya Sweeney is the head of the Data Privacy Lab at Carnegie Mellon University. There is an article over at Scientific American, that is worth the time. She is working on Digital Identity issues from a slightly perspective than the Digital Identity Gang.
Karen Coyle is a librarian and a consultant in the area of digital libraries. She is one of the people that will help us to catalog all the crap we are posting, as well as the stuff that is sitting in library stacks.
Pamela Samuelson is a Professor at the University of California at Berkeley with a joint appointment in the School of Information Management and Systems and the School of Law.
She recently posted :Preliminary Thoughts on Copyright Reform (pdf)
which should go a long way toward opening a dialog to Reboot Copyright.
If you post, publish, or are concerned about Copyright, you really need to download this paper.
I have been advocating to roll back Copyright way back to 14 years, instead of the crap which currently is nothing more than a Corporate Welfare Program for Publishers, Music Companies, and Movie Studios.
I would like to get three women in a room, let them talk and sit in the corner and listen.
