Good talk in the early afternoon sessions, with the fascinating title "The Madness of AJAX". Some good, scary demos. If you have an AJAX app, make sure you validate data *on the server!!* DO NOT trust the client-side code, even if you think you wrote it. Other client-side processes can change it.

The draft of the GPL Version 3 is available for public comment. It looks pretty good -- some fuzzy spots have been clarified, DRM and software patents have been addressed, and it has been made more compatible with some other licenses. (I'm not exactly clear on which other licenses at this point.)

The other interesting thing to me, as a developer with a long-standing interest in annotation systems and interactive web sites, and a growing interest in AJAX, was the elegant annotation system that allows users to select a piece of text and type "c" to submit a comment. Naturally, it's licensed under the GPL version 3 (which isn't finalized yet) -- I'm not sure what it says about me that I find that amusing.
