TODAY Saturday, January 13th at 2pm PST for our first Aaron Swartz Podcast.

We will have Andre Vinicius Leal Sobral of Brazil’s Aaron Swartz Institute and Timid Robot from Creative Commons.

Today, we will go back and discuss what exactly happened to Aaron. 

Then we will start taking a deeper look into his life, accomplishments and motivations.

There will be constant Q and A the whole time. Part of the reason we are doing this is to take the time to answer everyone’s questions.

See you soon.
