<\/a>Opening Keynote<\/strong><\/p>\n

Open: The synergy of creativity and open source<\/strong><\/p>\n

Karen Schneider<\/strong> is the Community Librarian at Equinox Software<\/a> and blogger at Free Range Librarian<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Her less technical writing includes essays, portraits, travelogues, video reviews, and a historically dubious account of Washington crossing the Delaware. She has been published in Gastronomica<\/em>, White Crane<\/a>, Nerve, Linux.com, IT Managers Journal, American Libraries, Library Journal<\/em>, The Bottom Line<\/em>, the dear departed Wilson Library Bulletin<\/em>, a few other places she can\u2019t remember, and has articles forthcoming elsewhere, but chooses not to jinx the process by naming the lucky publications.<\/p>\n

Schneider\u2019s technology writing has been recognized in a variety of venues for being both lively and learned (\u201dvenues\u201d in this case meaning \u201chomes of close friends or relatives\u201d). From 2005 through 2007 she wrote at ALA Techsource<\/a>, where readers showered her with compliments such as \u201cStop using the work \u2019suck\u2019, you tramp!\u201d and \u201cMy cataloger can beat up your metadata specialist!\u201d From 1995 to 2001, as the Internet Librarian columnist for American Libraries (circulation 66,000), Schneider consistently ranked in magazine surveys as AL\u2019s most popular author. In 1998, her article \u201cThe Tao of Internet Costs,\u201d one of the first discussions within librarianship about sustainable technology funding, was selected as an article of the year for The Bottom Line<\/em>, a journal of library finances. In 1998, as author of A Practical Guide to Internet Filters<\/em>, Schneider provided expert testimony for Mainstream Loudoun vs. Board of Trustees, a pivotal First Amendment case about free speech on the Internet. She also co-moderates PUBLIB<\/a>, a discussion list for public librarians, and enjoys goading them into their annual \u201cShould we have Christmas trees in the library?\u201d argument.<\/p>\n

Schneider is also an enthusiastic speaker, presenter, and educator who in 2000 was named by the PUBLIB as one of the top ten speakers in librarianship. She bought a few votes to get there, but still! Many of these speeches were delivered on the floor of the Council of the American Library Association, a body to which she was inexplicably elected three times. She is currently taking a break from LibraryLand politics, and is rumored to be producing a major motion picture about global warming.<\/p>\n

An Air Force veteran (1983-1991), graduate of Barnard College, University of Illinois, and University of San Francisco, and skilled treadmiller, Schneider now divides her free time somewhat unevenly between housework and watching television when she is not working on her collage of rejection letters she receives for those depressing little belles-lettres she insists on begging editors of fine journals to read.<\/p>\n

When she isn\u2019t traipsing around Georgia returning overdue books on the pretext of \u201cvisiting libraries,\u201d Schneider lives in Tallahassee, Florida, which requires no punchline.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Closing Keynote<\/strong>
\nBob Young<\/strong> is the founder and CEO of Lulu.com, the premiere international marketplace for new digital content on the Internet, with more than 100,000 recently published titles and more than 2,500 new titles added each week, created by people in 80 different countries.<\/p>\n

Lulu.com<\/a>, founded in 2002, is Young\u2019s most recent endeavour. The success of this company has earned Young notable recognition; he was named one of the \u201cTop 50 Agenda-Setters in the Technology Industry in 2006\u201d and was ranked as the fourth \u201cTop Entrepreneur for 2006,\u201d both by Silicon.com.<\/p>\n

In 1993 Young co-founded Red Hat, the open source software company that gives hardware and software vendors a standard platform on which to certify their technology.\u00a0 Red Hat has evolved into a Fortune 500 company and chief rival to Microsoft and Sun. His success at Red Hat won him industry accolades, including nomination as one of Business Week\u2019s \u201cTop Entrepreneurs\u201d in 1999.<\/p>\n

Before founding Red Hat, Young spent 20 years at the helm of two computer-leasing companies that he founded. His experiences as a high tech entrepreneur combined with his innate marketing savvy led to Red Hat\u2019s success. His book, \u201cUnder the Radar\u201d, chronicles how Red Hat\u2019s open source strategy successfully won wide industry acceptance in a market previously dominated by proprietary binary-only systems. Young has also imparted the lessons learned from his entrepreneurial experiences through his contributions to the books to \u201cYou\u2019ve GOT to Read This Book!\u201d and \u201cChicken Soup for the Entrepreneur\u2019s Soul.\u201d<\/p>\n

Young graduated from the University of Toronto in 1976 prior to beginning his career in the computer finance arena.<\/p>\n

Young also owns the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League and currently serves as the league\u2019s vice chairman. Bob Young, Founder & CEO, Lulu<\/a><\/p>\n

We Love Open Source Software. No, You Can\u2019t Have Our Code
\n<\/strong><\/em>Dale Askey<\/strong>
\nOpen source software enjoys the rapt attention of libraries. In practice, however, most institutions are better at consuming than producing open source code. Issues that repeatedly arise include:<\/p>\n
