Cory Doctorow “I published dozens of papers, thousands of blog-posts, and gave dozens of speeches. My classes attracted hundreds of “virtual auditors” who listened in via podcast and participated via the class blog, and the lecture series drew thousands of podcast listeners and is widely cited by practitioners in their work. I laid the groundwork for a major book on my subject.” |
