Great show. This is an excellent service for those of us that can’t be there. Thank you.

Great wrap-up of the first day. The only thing I would add, at the risk of giving even more unnecessary attention to Richard Stallman’s flameout, is that he didn’t suggest “Treacherous Computing” as the name Wikipedia should give instead to the “Trusted Computing” article; rather, he just brought up his phrase in order to explain his view of things, and to show what bias from the other side would look like. It was a perfectly reasonable misunderstanding to make, since he never offered a suggestion for what an unbiased article name would be; and I would guess almost everybody in the audience misunderstood him the same way – it was only after he harangued someone in the audience who committed that same misunderstanding that it became obvious what he was getting at.
