Wiki inventor Ward Cunningham is the guest in the latest episode of Janne’s and my Verkko 2 podcast. We talk about the history and future of the wiki as a collaborative tool. Ward’s interview is in English – if you’re interested but don’t speak Finnish, just skip the first couple of minutes where Janne and I yak in Finnish.

John Buckman, CEO and Founder of Magnatune, will give an Aula Talk entitled “Is There a Record Company That Is Not Evil?” this evening 7pm at Korjaamo (Töölönkatu 51 B, Helsinki).
