Pirate Bay day 9

Today, in the trial against Pirate Bay, my collegue on the Open Innovation Research Platform in Gothenburg, Kristoffer Schollin, was called in as an Expert Witness. A tough long day with questions after questions. The trial is recorded and available on SVT24 (in Swedish of course). He was questioned by the defence, Per Samuelsson, and the prosecutors Håkan Roswall, Peter Danowsky and Monique Wadsted.

Many bloggers have also commented Krisoffer's performance. See knuff.se

EURAM contribution accepted

Today I received a confirmation that my paper was accepted to the European Academy of Management (EURAM) conference held in Liverpool 11th -14th of May. It was of course very nice. Last year, in Ljubliana, I participated with a paper based on my thesis. This time I wrote a paper named "Stories of Web 2.0 mobilization - retrospective vs. "in the making". The aim is to show the differences in accounts, when gathering empirical data through retrospective interviews of (successful) processes compared to when you follow them over time. If you wish to know more about it, please send me your e-mail (bjorn.remneland@handels.gu.se).

The track I will participate in is called "Open Models in Knowledge Intensive Sectors: Free/Open Source Software and beyond", and the track leader is Lorenzo Benussi from Italy. I really look forward to the conference. This year over 730 papers were submitted. Exactly how many was accepted, I do not know.
