In the new issue of Mindjack:

Supernova 2002
Doug Roberts reports from Palo Alto

Supernova 2002 was an ambitious conference and Kevin Warbach, the 
organizer along with pulver.com, acknowledged that from the outset when 
he said that he had crammed a three day conference into two days. The 
conference was touted as a glimpse into the decentralized future. 
Decentralized systems, as may be obvious, are systems that have no 
single point of control - the Internet is a perfect example. No one 
entity or agency controls it, no single server provides the service, and 
no single point of failure will bring down the system. Warbach sees 
these types of systems as the fundamental issue in computing for the 
next decade. By then end of day one, however, it became clear that the 
conference was going to be about one thing: blogging.
