[[Image:Wikimania05-day3-ward.jpg|right|150 px|Ward at Wikimania (Sj on the left)]] [[Wikimedia Quarto|We]] caught up with the father of the wiki movement before breakfast on an early Oregon morning, while he was recovering from the recent Pattern Languages of Programs (PLoP) conference held in Illinois. In between cans of Moxie, we picked his brain about the evolution of wiki, copyright, and the Wikipedia community. Afterward, he came onto IRC to hang out in #wikipedia for a while, where he was duly lauded. See our [[Interview/Ward Cunningham|interview with Ward Cunningham]].
[[Image:LawrenceLessig sml.JPG|100 px|left]] [[Wikimedia Quarto|We]] also tracked down [[w:Lawrence Lessig|Lawrence Lessig]], Stanford law professor, founder and chairman of [[w:Creative Commons|Creative Commons]], and free culturesmith, in a lull at the end of a long December day. In a whirlwind session, he talked to us about copyright, copyleft, barriers to free culture, legal pitfalls for Wikipedia, and fighting the good fight. [[Interview/Larry Lessig|read more]].
