Keeping it all Going

I have three posts on the go.  One is a follow-up to the Tazzu Word Camp.  I archived all of the speakers (except Jeff Kee - sorry Jeff, I was still setting up at the time) and will embed links here to watch the flash videos of their presentations.  In the meantime, keep up with it at the Tazzu Blog.

Incidentally, the Tazzu Word Camp was an overwhelming success.  The room was full beyond capacity, and some great presentations, questions, and answers were heard.  I am looking forward to watching it all again when I post it!

One line of questioning, however, made me think that we need a Law Camp for IT professionals.  There were Q&A about copyright, licensing, distribution, et cetera - basically the commercial and non-commercial use of media and matter published on the web.  Does publication on free sites - the making available of something copyrightable for free public consumption - equal release into the public domain?  The questions were not phrased like that.  And those of us with pronounced study or practice in copyright know that the two are not equivalent.  But the questions and uncertain answers led me to believe that those working in IT would benefit greatly from an evening of IT Law.  I have some people in mind whom I would invite to speak at such an event.  What issues would you like to see?  I am thinking of IP and Licensing, Privacy, Corporate and Proprietorship Liability, Third-party and Product Liability, and Contract.

Another post is that long-promised next post on employment contracts.  I haven’t found much on IP waiver/assignment clauses per se, but I have some great info on the enforceability of non-comps in Canada.  Coming soon…

Finally, I just have to flesh out and write my list of activities for my version of a massive technology show.

Incidentally, there is now a contact page on the weblawg.  Though I prefer comments when possible.  And Diggs too!
