Our next salon will be held at LinkedIn Headquarters in Mountain View and will feature speakers from LinkedIn, 3taps, and Internet Archive to discuss the increasingly important topic of data as it relates to sharing, privacy, and innovation in the 21st century. Our speakers will each spend a few minutes sharing their personal work and experience with online data, and we will then transition into a panel discussion moderated by Tim O'Reilly, founder of O'Reilly Media, to further explore the topic.
CC Salons are informal events that bring people together around 21st century issues such as digital copyright, creativity, and sharing online. We typically have an audience of 30-50 professionals from many different disciplines, and the theme varies from education to science to media, and more.
Our speakers for the evening include:
Peter Brantley is the Director of the BookServer Project at the Internet Archive, a San Francisco-based not for profit library. He writes widely on the transformations in libraries and publishing, and most recently hosted the Books in Browsers conference in San Francisco. Peter has significant experience with academic research libraries and digital library development programs, and was previously the Executive Director of the Digital Library Federation. He is also the co-founder of the Open Book Alliance.

Tim O'Reilly (moderator) is the founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media, Inc., thought by many to be the best computer book publisher in the world. Tim is a catalyst for change, identifying and evangelizing the knowledge of "alpha geeks" and technology trends before they hit the mainstream through his books, speaking engagements, and blog, the O'Reilly Radar.

In addition to being a visionary, Tim is an entrepreneur: he created Safari Books Online, the first web-native service for online book content, and O'Reilly AlphaTech Ventures, which funds disruptors, innovators, and hackers of the status quo.
