: The Free Summer School is being hosted on a holistic evolving information ecology platform that has emerged in the course of the systematic use and promotion of information and communications technology and appreciation of the transformative significance of the zero-based properties of information - zero mass, zero physical size, and virtually zero travel time - that are the "material" basis for the '''zero marginal cost''' of digital goods.

== April 14, 2006 - Launch of The Wealth of Networks ==


6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
540 W. 21st Street, New York, NY


Please join Yale Professor [[Yochai Benkler]] for the launch of his new book, "The Wealth of Networks". The book explains how a new form of distributed collaboration is transforming the world economy, heralded by innovations such as:


:# Open Source software like Linux and Apache that have surpassed commercial software made by huge corporations
HacKeD By UzMaN - Sevecen - The KaBuS - !nt3rpoL - By_fatih - By_Zehir - zomb - 1spanhy0L - DoguTurk And BiLisimSucLar.Com
:# A free, collaboratively authored encyclopedia called Wikipedia that rivals Encyclopedia Britannica, and
:# Volunteer research projects like NASA Clicks that are as accurate as the work of paid scientists.  


Benkler does not see these projects as isolated examples, but rather as exemplars of an emerging mode of economic production. His book shows why labor done outside the constraints of free markets and giant corporations can still have a huge impact on the economy and social relations. He argues that a "third mode of production" offers the promise of a more free society, but only if we make the right collective decisions.

:The evening started at 6pm with wine, cheese, and informal conversation. At 7pm Jonah Peretti, Eyebeam's Director of R&D, introduced Benkler and gave a quick tour of important and emerging open source and collaborative projects. Then at 7:15pm, Benkler gave a brief talk presenting the core ideas of his new book.
