Tim O'Reilly's Key to Creating the Next Big Thing

Steven Levy from Wired talks with Tim. 
"Wired: Your new credo these days is "Create more value than you capture." 
What does that mean? Tim O'Reilly: Everybody wants to foster entrepreneurship, 
but we have to think about the preconditions for entrepreneurship. You grow 
great crops in great soil. And the soil is the commons. Increasingly, we 
have monopolistic companies that try to take as much as they can for themselves. 
And we have a patent and copyright regime that makes sure that nothing goes 
back into the commons unless by an extraordinary act of generosity. This is 
not fertile soil for innovation."

Columbus Python Workshop for Women and Their Friends

The Columbus Python Workshop for women and their friends is a great way to 
learn programming for anybody just starting out. This two day workshop is 
focused on women of all ages and backgrounds. Men can participate as the 
guest of a female attendee - that's where the "women and their friends" 
part comes in. If you're a man who wants to take part, ask a woman you know 
to join you. They're also looking for volunteers with Python experience to 
act as teaching assistants. Check their site for details.
