Fortunatamente non sono il solo a pensarla così ;-) [...] [...] Anche qui come ho avuto modo di scrivere nel post The Marketer: Venerdì 8 giugno, Roma, Bloggosfera è per me sempre motivo di meraviglia come dei semplici cittadini possano realizzare un evento, in questo caso specifico un contenuto, che si dimostra molto più interessante di tanta televisione generalista.

Bruce Perens gets too easily pigeonholed into the "pragmatic" character, especially when contrasted with the likes of Stallman; if you have a chance to listen to him in person, though, I think you'll find that "pragmatism" here is simply the kind of passion strong enough that it's willing to step back and give way to reason when that helps the goal. Thanks, Roberto & friends for arranging the meeting, and thanks, Bruce, for the words of wisdom.

In 30 years of journalistic activity, I never found a single person who moves around the room to get close to each person who asks him a question. He touched some great topics and he answered a few questions. What he said was interesting, but I mostly appreciated the way he pronounced those words. The words of a most respectful person. I thank Bruce for the time he gave us. I wish him the very best. Leo Sorge Bruce Perens is a great person.
