Have to get some sleep soon, since I feel like I’ve been up for about 18 hours straight, but I had to mention how great the first day<\/a> of mesh 2008 felt. Obviously I’m biased, being one of the organizers, but I really think the keynotes were pretty fantastic — even if we did have to get Michael Geist<\/strong> to sub in for the missing Matt Mason. Ethan Kaplan<\/strong> is one of the most interesting and thoughtful people when it comes to the future of music, and I could have easily continued talking with him about it long after the keynote was over. And David Gratton<\/strong> of Project Opus continued some of the discussion about those issues on his panel in the afternoon with musician David Usher<\/strong>, Kieran Roy<\/strong> from the indie label Arts & Crafts and Graham Henderson<\/strong> from the Canadian Recording Industry Association, who was actually a pretty good sport about being made out as the bad guy all the time.<\/p>\n

The music panel really seemed to get people fired up — we had a huge amount of great questions and interaction from the audience, which to me is one of the hallmarks of a great mesh panel. And we had some great feedback on a bunch of the other panels as well, including the Private vs. Public one with my friend Mark Kingwell<\/strong> from U of T, Internet researcher Nancy Baym<\/strong> from the University of Kansas and Ken Anderson<\/strong> from the Ontario Privacy Commission. Add on top of that some great workshops from the always excellent Amber Macarthur<\/strong> and Mark Kuznicki<\/strong> and it was a pretty awesome day — followed by drinks in the MaRS atrium and a great party at The Rockwood. And now, to sleep.<\/p>\n
