"Wizards of OS" video now online

Logo for WOS4

We just got back from the 4th Wizards of OS conference in Berlin, where we participated in a panel discussion of "Open Spectrum" on 15 September. Moderated by former Telepolis editor Armin Medosch, the panelists were Malcolm Matson (founder/director of the OPLAN Foundation), our advisor Onno Purbo (Indonesia's well-known WiFi evangelist), and Robert Horvitz (Stichting Open Spectrum).

Video coverage of this panel was streamed live on the Internet, and can now be downloaded in either mp4 or ogg file formats. The files are 1.75 hours long - about 220MB each.
