Mark Webbink takes over Groklaw 2.0
Pamela Jones has used her last full-time day at Groklaw to announce
that Mark Webbink will be running the show from here. "Now that the
battlefield has shifted from SCO attacking Linux to Microsoft using patents
against it and from servers to mobiles, I realized that Groklaw needs a
lawyer at the helm. So I asked Mark Webbink if he would take on this role,
and I'm thrilled to tell you that he has accepted. He is the new editor of
Groklaw as of today. Mark was General Counsel at Red Hat, as you know, and
he is on the board of the Software Freedom Law Center. He is also a law
professor, which as I'll explain is a vital piece of what he has
planned. Mark is a visiting professor at New York Law School where he runs
the Center for Patent Innovations, oversees the Peer To Patent project run
with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, has been active in seeking
reform of the U.S. patent system, and teaches patent licensing.
