Tim Oâ€™Reillyâ€™s Key to Creating the Next Big Thing [image: Velocity
Conference CFP]<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zdgc74qad7cls5q3hpj0u328trpjcjn0jha5aqq8>

Steven Levy from Wired talks with
Tim.<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zc0me026hllh1n0s7glkda7ufpna9un17pfh175o>
"*Wired:* Your new credo these days is â€œCreate more value than you
capture.â€ What does that mean?
*Tim Oâ€™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."

The Columbus Python Workshop for women and their

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<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z0ashjnk9mm9695rebqtcfnuk8utl0ud2nifv8bo>
