Translations
From Andrew Paterson:
Мифы Греции (Greek Myths) blog
"Stumbled across this blog which itself is quite remarkable example of p2p data sharing. Under the strapline 'Mysterious world of ancient legends' it is really a mystery who is behind this blog, who set it up etc. Postings are Russian language translations, mostly from P2P Foundation blog (Michel Bauwens entries, http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/). The speed and volume of translations suggests it is an automated bot/script doing the translation labour"
Conferences
From Andrew Paterson:
It appears that BarCamp, open-space/unconference style gatherings have also blossomed in Russia.
St. Petersburg, June 2009
