I'd definitely like to hear somebody besides me talk about it; I'm
getting bored myself, and definitely my ideas are going stale.  Also,
it sounds like the environments in the U.S. and Europe are quite
different, as are the business approaches.  I'd like to hear more
about Europe, as I'm more familiar with the U.S., but in some ways
Japan's business environment resembles Europe's more than the U.S.'s.

March 12 is open, I hear.

Subscribing to FSB@example.com is a lot cheaper.  Bob Young and Larry
Lessig don't show up so often, but "Gumby" Henkel-Wallace does, as do
Brian Behlendorf, Larry Augustin, Larry Rosen, Peter Deutsch, and Tim
O'Reilly.  For comic relief, we have the inimitable Thomas Lord.

Heck, ordering _Information Rules_ from Amazon is a lot cheaper.  Sun
Tzu's _The Art of War_ and Musashi's _Book of Five Rings_ were both
recently recommended on FSB; having read them both, I recommend them
as interesting metaphors for business but they're kinda abstract
w.r.t. open source.

You could also take extension English courses at Tsukuba-dai:

or so.  Boring and stale, but published.  :-)  And it comes with RC
Succession sound tracks (not that lecture, though).
