Here we go again..

Going to be following Reboot proceedings courtesy of the Jaiku backchannel

1016 Looks like it’s Mac heaven over there at Reboot.. It was pretty much the same situation at Hej! 2007.. Macs everywhere!

redsoda’s writing a geek army knife business plan

Olof says that a new Plazer tool is up for those who want in on some Plaze-love.. Once again, the Reboot Plazes special is here

1235 Lotsa cool stuff shown by Håkan Lie, from Opera including the $100 laptop(!) and Prince XML which apparently allows printing of any XML document and a demo of multi-column layouts in CSS3

Good Old coverage of Day 2 of Reboot

1352 Whoops. Looks like the vegetarians at Reboot have to go hungry again

Back from lunch.. catching up on some past posts..

1510 novemberborn says Reboot always makes him want to drop out of university. Coupled with the geek army knife by redsoda, I think there’s goes a plan! But really.. surrounded by so many talents at reboot, the want to stop studying and get out and do something is very understandable..

Coolness.. there’s a mention of a Flickr/Bluetooth ID hack floating around the backchannel.. apparently at the roomwareproject.org. Wonder about the possibilities of that. Site seems down now though.. =(

ruk (peter) proposes a “more talk less insanity” afterparty at reboot.. wishing I was there

Visual Complexity by Manuel Lima seems to be getting a lot of positive response

olleolleolle is looking for Portfile hackers on the backchannel to get RLisp into MacPorts

nvineberg reports that Dave Winer says pay for blogging is uncool.. blogging is “about stating your own opinion and being honest”

big shouts to BookMooch by halfbyte

1630 Apparently school and education seems to be a hot topic at reboot this year.. good to know that all this tech focus is going to some good use =)

And piratbyrån and The Pirate Bay are there too!

BBC has an article on Reboot! The article quotes Ross Mayfield from Socialtext as saying that the “greatest pattern of Web 2.0 is creating value by sharing control”.

1737 Jaiku backchannel collective action!

Counting members on Jaiku backchannel

Here they are.. the active members.. and many more of course..

Matt Webb thinks that there’s something pornographic about unboxing a Mac

Definitely.. Macs just ooze sexiness don’t they.. and getting one unwrapped… well…. =)

Well.. looks like the Rebooters had an awesome time at the conference.. really does make me wish I was there.. It’s cool following a conference on-goings just on the backchannel, but hey, nothing beats actually being there does it?

Despite problems with power, wifi and the lack of vegetarian food, the audience seemed to enjoy the conference, so big ups to the organisers =)

It was fun following the proceedings, and even now after the conference has ended, the backchannel is still alive with party posts and thanks.. backchannels really do help the community no?

Looking forward to the next reboot!

Here’s a look back on Reboot, Day 1

Found Peter Rukavina’s comments on Reboot…and apparently Peter’s the guy who made the comment on “enterprise software” that I wholeheartedly agreed with..

And.. here’s the Reboot Flickr Group, for all the fun and wacky photos from the conference..

Some nice pics from the stream

I’m not sure who’s talk this was.. but those are interesting questions..

Jaiku Cakes! So these were what they looked like!

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 =)
