Given the changes announced this week, I have updated my original plans for my presentation on Sunday. I was going to talk about Social networking, but am now changing it to a very interactive Q&A session.
I expect people are asking themselves
and I will attempt at answering these questions interactively during FOSDEM.
Towards the end of next week, after internal coordination, I plan to share some further thinking on the “what will happen now” front with my blog readers.

[Read more]I just realized something else Chris has mentioned:
