<title>Sayumi Abe: Design Intern, Party Animal</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Sayumi was a design intern at Platial for a few months after she got out of school. We met her because an old friend of mine from Iowa who teaches at Wartburg, knew that Sayumi was moving to oregon. When i asked Sayumi how she chose Wartburg College, she told me that she had a huge stack of US college applications and the one to Wartburg, "was on top." She was always funny and friendly and ready to work. We miss her.

<title>Tim O'Reilly</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        O'Reilly was initially interested in literature upon graduating from high school, but after graduating from Harvard College in 1975 with a B.A. cum laude in Classics he became involved in the field of computer manuals. Tim defines his company not as a book or online publisher, or as a conference producer (though the company does all three), but as a technology transfer company, "changing the world by spreading the knowledge of innovators." Tim is on the board of CollabNet, and was on the board of Macromedia until its 2005 merger with Adobe. In March 2007, Tim joined MySQL AB’s Board of Directors

In 2001, Tim was involved in a dispute with Amazon.com, leading a protest against Amazon's one-click patent, and specifically, Amazon's use of that patent against rival barnesandnoble.com. The protest ended with Tim and Jeff Bezos visiting Washington D.C. to lobby for patent reform. Amazon has continued to file many patents, and the Barnes & Noble case was settled. As of 2006, Amazon has not repeated the events by suing for patent infringement.

In December 2006, O'Reilly's publishing firm donated $10,000 to Creative Commons, demonstrating his interest in the Free Culture movement.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/1099578">Map this on Platial</a><br />
