Tomorrow its back to Stockholm for the third time in two weeks. Itâ??s a good thing that I like trains! I shall be giving a talk about Free Information in Practice. It is part of a half day seminar on Digital Solidarity and Waking Public Opinion.

Also participating are Rasmus Fleischer from the Pirate Bureau presenting a talk on â??Shared Information, effective informationâ?? and Lars Ilshammar who will be talking about the global effort to free information.

So if you are in Stockholm and have the time drop in for what looks like an exciting seminar (and its free)

Starts 12.30 ends 16.45

Place: Solidaritetshuset, Tegelviksgatan 40, Stockholm

Yesterday I was in Stockholm representing Creative Commons as a finalist in the Stockholm Challenge awards. The dinner was held at the Stockholm City Hall which also houses the Nobel Prize dinner. I was determined not to be impressed but I must admit it is a very impressive building.

First we had champaigne in the Golden Hall which is a room covered with a gold and glass mosaic made of over 18 million pieces.

This was followed by dinner in the Blue Hall and the winners in each category were announced. For my category (Culture) the project Biblioredes from Chile was the winner.

The whole event was very impressive and the range of projects participating made for a very interesting evening.
