“Q&A: O’Reilly programmer and technology maven Rael Dornfest looks beyond Web services and social networking… Rael Dornfest speaks quickly but calmly when he discusses trends. The words pour out with a hint of a foreign accent; he’s glad to release what his high-bandwidth brain has already absorbed and processed. Dornfest codes software, edits books, and organizes conferences for OíReilly & Associates, the publisher of popular instructional manuals for programmers. The job gives him a close up perspective on computingís grass roots movements.”
