Fridays with Foremski: Panel On Obama's Tech Policies
By Tom Foremski - February 23, 2009
Fridays with Foremski: panel discussion
Here is the panel discussion from "Fridays with Foremski" a proposed weekly video series that showcases the extraordinary region of Silicon Valley.
Panelists: Drew Clark (IBM Ventures) Jim Dempsey (Center for Democracy and Technology) Sylvia Paull (founder of Gracenet) Godfrey Sullivan (Splunk) Matthew Greeley (Brightidea).It's a lively discussion about President Obama's tech policies and what Silicon Valley needs to continue to do what it does best: disrupt industries.
The panel is part of a pilot program called "Fridays with Foremski" that follows me around Silicon Valley as I speak with local entrepreneurs, thought leaders, report on conferences, etc. Silicon Valley is an unique place and we want to produce a professional program that captures some of the essence of this amazing community.
We'd like to attract a couple of large underwriters for the series, we're talking with one large company, if you know of another let me know. That way you might see a second episode . . . coming to a Friday near you :)
Produced by SF Media Collective. Recorded at the Horn Group.

To Sylvia's comment about women in technology:
I ask.. where are all the CS students, where are all of the computer hobbyists... women are just as capable as we know, but I suspect they're just not interested in working in datacenters, programming, and support.
Why are there very few women auto mechanics? A glass ceiling, maybe.. but I'm just not seeing lot of the opposite sex in the geeky, technical classes--and thats where it all starts at.
