RE: California, here I come

How exciting! Count me in. Regardless of the fact that Jonah probably
doesn't read my emails since I already sent the same link to the CA RFID
article!

Well, for me, the biggest question is how this might dovetail with any
of 
Prof. Moglen's other plans for community building across his interest
areas.

In other words, while our class has developed a good rapport, I imagine
we 
would have much in common with many of Prof. Moglen's other students and

classes. Depending upon his endorsement, we might want to coordinate
this 
effort with any other plans he might have to build a community of alumni

(probably open to the world, if anyone is interested in joining)
interested 
in these topics.  Personally, I will miss the "On the Radar" postings
and 
will probably want to continue to track his classes in the future. It
seems 
odd that we would splinter off our own class from some of his other
classes, 
when we are probably having similar conversations. Then again, he may
have 
plenty of good reasons for keeping each class separate and distinct.

The burden and expense of building and maintaining these kinds of 
communities is probably significantly lower than many imagine.

On the low end, there are always yahoo groups and/or google groups,
which 
are free and provide some decent starting points. Aside from all the
free 
blogs and social networking tools that also facilitate this kind of 
communication, there are a few content management systems that make it
easy 
to set up this kind of a community, with a bit more room to grow in
terms of 
tools (wikis, blogs, and forums, file sharing, etc).  There are even
some 
ISPs that make these tools available for free, in the hope that you
might 
want to buy in to support, expanded storage and features, etc.  Off the
top 
of my head, I can think of http://www.openmute.org (free Xoops hosting)
and
http://www.objectis.org/ (free plone hosting), but I am sure there are 
plenty more like this.

If anybody is interested in working on this project please contact me
and we 
can move it forward.

Jonah
