"*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 [image: OSCON CFP] The Columbus Python Workshop for women and their friendsis a great way to learn programming for anybody just starting out.
