Jeremy Ashkenas keynotes at SunnyConf

Be profound. That was more or less our response to Jeremy for guidelines on the keynote. The title of his talk is Code as a Commons and most definitely meets the criteria.

Isn't it strange how with open source code, the more you give away, the more you have? Writing software is qualitatively unlike any other field of human endeavor. We'll explore how open-source projects can avoid the tragedy of the commons, parallels to drafting legislation, and if it makes any sense to treat works of code as literature.
