The End of En Banc. I'm sorry to announce that the En Banc group blog is no more. For a variety of reasons, I've decided to end this experiment and send us each on our solo blogging ways. I think each of us has profited... [En Banc]

Well this sorta sucks.  I liked En Banc for what it represented: a nascent community of law students from around the country sharing ideas and engaging in open discussion that crossed the tiers that often define legal education in America.  I was so interested in this group blog that CALI was considering contacting them to speak at our June conference.  To me the En Banc group blog was only a step or two away from the virtual law firm.  Are there others like it?  I hope so.

Linux community reaction to MSFT code leak

Linux community reaction to MS code disaster. In case you haven't heard Microsoft lost control of some of its source code and it's been spreading through peer-to-peer networks. [NewsForge]
