Last weekend (29-30 Sep 2007) I participated in a discussion on search engines on the Jan van Eyck Akademie in Maastricht, the Forum on Quaero. I participated to the discussions and joined Erik Borr’s presentation on Open Search, a Dutch project aiming to develop a privacy friendly, open source, censor proof, p2p search engine. There were no members of the Quaero project present. They had actually contacted the organizers to ask for the removal of Quaero from the title. I especially liked the presentations by Michael Zimmer, Jodi Dean, Richard Rogers and Florian Kramer. Netzmedium has a nice post on the forum. Next month (10 October 2007) there is a conference on European search engine projects, in Geneva, with industry and policy makers present.
