Hello!

This is Elliot--I presented authena.org at the 2003 OSCOM, and I was unable
to make it to the 2004 OSCOM in Zurich to present 22surf.org.  But the 2003
oscom was one of the best conferences I've ever been to--Open Source CMS
has a huge future, and it was great to meet a lot of its leaders who're
scattered all over the globe.

I've recently been teaching a class artsentrepreneurship.com which focuses
heavily on the vast benefits of Open Source CMS for the indie creator.

Artistic Entrepreneurship & Technology is currently a candidate for the
SXSW festival in Austin, and I was hoping to get people to vote for it at:

http://2007.sxsw.com/interactive/panel_picker/

Select Web 2.0 from the category filter, or
business/funding/entrepreneurial, and

Look for:

Web 2.0/3.0 Arts Entrepreneurship: Make Your Passion Your Profession "Don't
need no VC when you've got a PC."  And vote!

"Don't need no VC when you've got a PC." Not only has technology
revolutionized the production and distribution of content, but it has also
allowed indie creators to bypass traditional lawyers/MBAs to define the
rights for their creations and reap maximum profits. The Constitution
states that creators own their creations--so now what's the best way for
creators to share, sell, and profit? From Open Source CMS to online
incorporation to web 2.0/3.0 to the registering of patents, trademarks, and
copyrights, this is a panel for the indie creator. Click here to read more

Thanks so much!
