Program

Thursday will be an introductory tutorial session. Speakers will
review the history of the lawsuit, the details of the settlement, and
the issues currently pending before the court. The Thursday tutorials
are particularly recommended for guests who have not been following
the settlement closely and wish to come up to speed on the issues it
raises, or who wish to refresh their understanding of it.

Friday and Saturday will be the principal conference sessions. They
will be more academic and interactive, and presented in panel format.
Speakers will discuss their analyses of the settlement and its
implications, from a wide variety of perspectives.

D Is For Digitize is now available in .mp3 podcast from iTunes U (iTunes Store) or here (Direct Download).
