21st Century" is now available for your online viewing pleasure at  
YouTube and Archive.org.

Plone Conference 2006 featured over 45 outstanding talks, tutorials  
and workshops.  But none were more inspiring and important than Eben  
Moglen's keynote address, "Software and Community in the Early 21st  
Century."

In front of a standing-room-only crowd of over 350 Plone users and  
developers, Eben delivered an inspiring and wide-ranging talk that  
traced the connections between the free software movement, the One  
Laptop Per Child project, and the past three hundred years of modern  
industrial economic development, and placed our work into the larger  
context of the ongoing journey towards freedom and equality for all  
people.

As many Plone community members know, Eben Moglen is Chairman of the  
Software Freedom Law Center, Professor of Law and Legal History at  
Columbia University Law School, and General Counsel of the Free  
Software Foundation He was instrumental in helping to create the  
Plone Foundation, and is currently working on Version 3 of the GPL,  
an important open source license.
