He organized the 2003 BloggerCON meeting of his fellow bloggers. Lydon came to the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard.ĭave Winer had also come to Harvard as a Berkman Fellow. A close reading of his contract by the station manager, Jane Christo, and Boston University president, John Silber, showed that as a WBUR employee Lydon had no rights to his work, and he was summarily fired. One of the early talk shows syndicated widely across the country, The Connection was the sparkplug in a fund-raising drive that raised WBUR from a $5 million a year operation to $25 million per year.Īt that point Lydon had locked horns with WBUR management over the rights to his content, specifically long-term rights to his shows playing over the Internet. After a failed run for mayor of Boston, Lydon switched to radio and created The Connection at Boston University radio station WBUR. Chris did a long stint as television anchor for the Ten O'clock News on WGBH Channel 2. Bob got to know Winer pretty well along the way.Īt the OSCOM conference, Bob met Christopher Lydon, the longtime television and radio personality from the Boston area, who was a Fellow at the Berkman Center. The Desktop Video Group videotaped all the major presentations. Working with Professor Charles Nesson, the founding director of the Berkman Center, Bob Doyle was one of the organizers of the conference. As the architect of several Web standards like XML-RPC, SOAP, and RSS, Winer garnered enormous respect from his developer audience. Dave Winer, the creative genius and enfant terrible of the blogosphere, was invited to give the keynote address to a couple hundred Open Source CMS developers from all over the world.
