EuroOSCON: The Do-It-Yourself Mindset

I really enjoyed watching Phillip Torrone's talk on the MAKE manifestations in The Do-It-Yourself Mindset. The audience seemed very interested, even though some example projects may not have been directly applicable to a European audience (i.e. there weren't too many PSP users in the crowd).

On Your Own: If you can't open it, you don't own it

He received much applause when mentioning the "Maker Manifesto" (at least, I think that's what it's called) that will be part of Vol 04. This audience seems to resonate strongly with the ideals of freedom behind these fun projects in addition to the projects themselves.

Oh, makers are starting to show up for tonight's Maker Faire. I'm looking forward to it.
