SXSW 2007 - Blogging Where Speech Isn't Free [updated]

Really good panel with:

Jon Lebkowsky Partner, Polycot Consulting LLC
Shahed Amanullah Founder, Halalfire Media LLC
Robert Faris Harvard Law School - Berkman Center
Shava Nerad Exec Dir, The Tor Project
Ethan Zuckerman Co-Founder, Global Voices
Jasmina Tesanovic Blog B92

Good links snagged from panel:

Global Voices
Diary of a Political Idiot
Tor
Freedom House
OpenNet

Great to finally meet both Shahed and Ethan. Went to lunch with the two of them, Rob, Rachel, and John Bracken. Great conversation about the hip-hop, internets, national security, and garlic noodles. Any meal that includes a conversation about food, that isn't a complaint about the food you're eating, is a good meal.

Would love to do a session with Shahed and Ethan about how we can bridge Muslim voices across the world, instead of having Muslim Americans reinventing the wheel on many debates that have happened/are happening already.

Dinner was with a friend of mine from Harvard. Chipotle Salmon. 'nuff said. Talked about our research, family, the usual stuff.

Back to NY tomorrow.
