[comp.org.usenix] need summary of final Nashville session

rcd@ico.isc.com (Dick Dunn) (06/22/91)

Does anyone have a summary of the final panel session at Nashville (the
"Who owns your work?")?  Perhaps you wrote one for a trip report and could
share it...I had to leave before the end of the conference [because I was
on a free ticket so I only had one choice of airline and the last flight
out was 4:30 and I couldn't afford another expensive night there...but I
digress]

I don't know how many other folks had to leave early; it might be worth
posting a summary.

I have about 3 pages of very sketchy notes, and little understanding
of most of the legal issues.  I'm willing to type up what I can,
but I hope that someone can do better.

Dan, is there any "official" record of the panel?

I imagine that there is a fairly high demand for a summary from this panel -- 
it was well attended, and very interesting.  At another conference that I
attended, the sessions were taped (with the presenter's permission), and the
tapes were made available for sale during the conference, and afterwards.  It was
a great feature of the conference, and one that I would like to see at Usenix --
especially for panel sessions and the invited talks.  Even better would be a
videotape -- the main conference room was shown on a video screen, and I would
have loved to see a tape of some of the panels and/or invited talks that I missed.
I don't think that such a feature would have been too useful for the paper
presentations, since they're in the proceedings anyway.
