World Economic Forum in Second Life, with great interviews! [Second Life Pros]

Translate Into:

Reuters announced some details about the upcoming World Economic Forum event (to take place in real Davos, Switzerland).
I’m more than happy to see that Philip Rosedale (Linden Lab’s founder), Tim O’Reilly, Mitch Kapor and Robert Scoble will be interviewed Inworld (this means: in Second Life), on 23rd and 24th january.
GREAT!
Don’t miss this chance to ask them YOUR questions!

It is interesting that, in one way or another, I “met” with all those guys:
- Robert Scoble was asking for some connections with Mark Shuttleworth (the founder of Ubuntu, I know him too and met in person in July 2007 in Portland, Oregon), to interview him. I connected them, and Robert was so grateful that he connected me with Matt Cutts, a well-known Googler, which gave me a tour of Googleplex.
- I met Philip Rosedale in that same July in San Francisco, I just requested a meeting to show him San Francesco Assisi.
- I gave a speech at UbuntuLive 2007 in Portland, and there I met Tim O’Reilly, with which I loosely remained in contact for a couple of other things, such as my participation at the Rolex Awards for Enterprise (results will come out in may 2008).
- At UbuntuLive, I listened to Mitch Kapor’s speech (he’s the creator of Lotus123, among other things).

Wow, what great connections!
