Not all notes turned into blog posts. A full set of ROFLCon livenotes can be found here in our livenotes index. Thanks to Charlie DeTar for helping me create the livenote index code, which I hope to write up as a separate blog post soon.
Finally, try not to miss Matt Stempeck’s blog post of our Thursday evening talk: Tom Steinberg of MySociety Tricks Us into Active Citizenry.
Phew! That’s a lot of blogging! Final projects are due in two weeks, so I expect that the volume of student may reduce for the rest of the month. See you in the summer!
