Zbigniew Braniecki

Mozilla hacktivist, senior community ninja with a drop of sociology flavor – as amorphous as it gets. Zbigniew will look at how business and politics, still the two driving forces of society, are now loosing ground to a new, soft, power – software. And how tomorrow’s software will come from amorphous forms of hybrid Web-like organizations that will continuously reinvent themselves at pace that will make lawmakers cry and the rest of us a little dizzy.
