[ My new obsession are pirated, shanzhai and old books found in developing nations (Delhi, India) ]

My whirlwind bizdev journey I’m now calling #timetraveling is nearly wrapped up. I had to make a quick trip to Delhi from FOSS.in to have a great meeting with a large media organization in India. Then, zoomed off from there to Guangzhou to take my first stab at making the case for analyzing Shanzhai technology culture, and building a legal international movement from this rapid hardware remix culture.

Here is the non-PDF non-FLASH version of the presentation. Here is the slideshare and scribd version, which I’m having battle here for best quality. You can grab the PPT from them so you can use and spread the Qi.

The TEDxGuangzhou conference I really appreciated the large 700-1000 person audience at one of the weirdest/coolest buildings in guangzhou that looks like an alien spaceship. Big thanks to the organizers, Lonnie Hodges and all the volunteers who made it real! Big thanks!

  1. Hi Jon,

    Thanks for coming.

    You did a good job introducing the FOSS idea in a most simple way at the TEDxGuangzhou conference. I love your talk very much. I am especially impressed by the idea of “Qi-inside”, looking forward to some prototypes coming up.

    Tony
