Well, looks like today’s the day for Reboot in Copenhagen.
Gonna try my hand at second-degree live blogging, the same way Justin did for Hej! 2007
Stay tuned..
Here’s a video from Bertrand from Podesk, who was also at Hej! 2007
Oh and not to forget the Reboot Jaiku backchannel
Here’s the programme for Day One of Reboot
A few familiar faces from Hej! 2007.. like Eric Wahlforss and Alexander Ljung who’ll be speaking on trust, and Björn Jeffery who’ll be speaking on Old Media vs New Media, and Jyri Engeström, founder of Jaiku, who’ll be speaking on Microblogging.
The theme for this Reboot is “human”.. and redsoda is asking on the backchannel what is really meant to “be human”
And Olof complains of the excess of backchannels in the conferece.. Jaiku, plazes, onelinr.. those are really getting popular =)
Speaking of mobile networks like Jaiku and Twitter.. here’s a comment from nvineberg musing about what to do if you prefer one service but your friends are on another. In this case here he prefers Jaiku! Yay! Jaiku FTW! =)
It’s pretty interesting to see how the battle between Jaiku and Twitter will go though..
Coolness.. Podesk has a few new videos from Reboot up.
Here’s one of a talk by Adam Arvidsson on Humanism 101
And one of Robert Paterson on Trusted Space - Nature’s Rules
(Unfortunately a little busy right now so I can’t keep up with the videos to comment.. but way to go Bertrand! Keep those videos coming!)
Think I should put in timestamps just to keep the context…
1310 Looks like power’s missing in the main hall =( With so many participants wanting to liveblog from Reboot I should think power might’ve been a huge concern though?
ArGh.. been a little too caught up with work to keep up… but here’s a late update…
1609 Looks like there’s been problems with power and WiFi the whole day long but it seems to have come up again.. hope the organisers have got everything fixed and ready now.. Looks like lots of people in the community are pretty dependent on Wifi. (Or at least I know I need my daily connection to teh web =)

From podesk.com
About an hour back, ruk pondered on the backchannel about the meaning of the buzzword “enterprise software”.
I’m with you ruk, never quite got what that meant either.. though I usually just took it to mean “software for the enterprise”. Will advertising “enterprise software” somehow magically boost a company’s sales? Now that’s a good question. I mean, it’s probably similar to how everyone’s going “open source” and “Web 2.0″ these days.
1615 I can’t seem to find many other blogs covering the event live.. Oh. Wait. Wifi and power problems =(
Well.. I’m getting most of the info for this post over the Jaiku backchannel.. teemu made a pretty apt comment there.. “when power is down, sms still works“.
1618 All the same if you know of anyone else blogging about the event, ping me?
1638 I see antonsporz complaining about the lack of a vegetarian lunch. =( Quite a few people must’ve been hungry
1640 Here’s a video (from our favourite video podcasting site, Podesk) of Kars Alfrink speaking about Mobile Social Play
1646 I’m wondering why I never thought to search Technorati for Reboot related blogs.. hM..
anyway.. found a rather detailed one by Igor Schwarzmann. It seems to cover quite a few of the talks that have gone by, the Trusted Space talk by Robert Paterson is covered too. It’s in German though, which I unfortunately can’t read.. but if you can do check it out =)
Ewan McIntosh gives an interpretation of Reboot’s theme, “Human” on his blog and check out his reboot flickr stream too.
1656 Found another flickr stream by Guido van Nispen. The guy in the pic on Guido’s blog looks like Nikolaj Nyholm of Polar Rose, who was also a speaker at Hej! 2007.
1659 Jaiku cakes? What are those about? Now I’m hungry.
1754 Looks like Eric’s and Alex’s Trust talk started a while back
1829 Just popped by the Reboot Onelinr Channel .. seems a lot quieter than the one we had for Hej! though.. Looks like most prefer Jaiku..
1832 Looks like they’re still having power problems
1838 The Plazes Reboot Special
Good Old’s (of which Björn Jeffery is a part of) updates on Reboot here
Apparently the whole gang from Good Old is down at Reboot
1853 Nicolas Nova has uploaded his slides on Hybridization.
1900 Looks like the activity on the backchannels is winding down now… looks like it’s been a great day with great talks. Unfortunately little glitches like the power and wifi dropping out and the lack of vegetarian lunches did seem to tone the mood down a little. Nonetheless, I’m sure the organisers will be able to set things right on Day 2 tomorrow. Sure isn’t easy organising a conference of this scale.
I’ve also updated the links to the talk synopses for the videos I posted from Podesk.. and also for Bertrand’s talk Grains and Pixels. So do check them out too if you wanna get the background on the talks.
Well tomorrow’s another day =)
