The dynamic line-up for May 10 includes <a href="http://egofood.blogspot.com/">Chris DiBona</a>, the <a href="http://code.google.com/">Open Source Programs Manager for Google</a>, discussing Google, Creative Commons, and the <a href="http://code.google.com/soc">Google Summer of Code</a>, of which Creative Commons is a <a href="http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Summer_of_Code_2006">mentoring organization</a> (applications due May 8).

Ken also is showing a short video of his project "Ballet Mori: a ballet conducted by the Earth" that commemorates the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. In this improvisational performance, "SF Ballet Principal Dancer Muriel Maffre responded to a musical composition modulated live by the unpredictable fluctuations of the Earth's movement as measured in real-time by a UC Berkeley seismometer at the Hayward Fault."
