Syndicate - Voices from Within panel notes

The Voices from Within panel here at Syndicate is done -- Doc liked it and raised an interesting question as Tim Bray talked about Sun's broad blogging initiatives: If it had been available, would we have seen blogging at Microsoft or Sun back in the days when those companies were "winning?". Interesting perspective. The consensus in the room was "probably not."

I really enjoyed this panel from my moderator's vantage point on the stage (just couldn't blog and moderate at the same time), but I was particularly pleased that the audience jumped in with questions early on and we had some real conversation among the panelists as well as between the panelists and the audience. It wasn't perfect, but I hope it generally avoided the panel-itis that Mary Hodder described a few weeks ago.
