Union Square Sessions 1 - Peer Production

Today we hosted the first of what we hope will be many conversations about the impact of information technology on our society, our economy and on the business of venture capital.

The subject of this "session" was peer production. We were blessed by the presence of great group of energetic and experienced, entrepreneurs, investors and analysts who have all been thinking deeply about this stuff for a long time. Our goal, in bringing these folks together was to contribute to and encourage a conversation that is already in full flower in the blogosphere.

We won't be able to replicate the experiece of being in the room today, but we will do our best to share the thinking by posting a complete transcript. In the meantime, we have posted some pictures of the event.
