About Me:

Mark Radcliffe

I earned a B.S. in Chemistry magna cum laude from the University of Michigan and a J.D. from Harvard Law School. I have been practicing law in Silicon Valley for over 25 years and am now a senior partner at DLA Piper. DLA Piper is a new global law firm formed in 2005 from the merger of three law firms. The firm now has 3600 lawyers in 25 countries and 65 cities. My practice is a mix of corporate securities and intellectual property. I work with many startups as well as large global companies. I have had the opportunity to work with companies in many industries, ranging from semiconductor to digital media to open source. I am the General Counsel, pro bono, of the Open Source Initiative and I ran the "Users" committee reviewing the GPLv3 draft.

SDForum Global Open Source Colloquium: March 23

19/03/09

I am participating in SDForum’s Global Open Source Colloquium for the third year. This Colloquium is held the day before OSBC. http://www.sdforum.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=Calendar.eventDetail&eventID=13371  The event is always fun because it is much smaller than OSBC and permits you to interact with the speakers on a personal basis.  The speakers are always drawn from major figures in the open source industry with a leavening of speakers from overseas.

This year has a particularly interesting set of presentations with Larry Augustin as the keynote. Larry is a seasoned entrepeneur and a very successful investor in open source companies.  We will also have several panels with open source CEOs which focus on the global market. And we will have a great panel of venture capitalists who invest in open source (I know because I will moderate the panel!). 

The Colloquium will begin at 11:30 am at the Palace Hotel on March 23. I hope to see you there!
