Raphael Saadiq is a standard bearer for what folks call "old school" music, a contemporary artist continuing a time-honored tradition that goes back to the '60s and '70s. From his early days as a member of the groundbreaking '80s group Tony! Toni! Toné! through his work as an award-winning producer of such artists as Joss Stone, The Roots, Snoop Dogg, John Legend among many others and his own solo albums, the multi-talented Raphael Saadiq has kept the faith.

His latest album, The Way I See It, available in a collector's edition box set of 7"45 RPM singles as well as on traditional CD, represents the finest example to date of Raphael's downtown sound, a masterful blend of old and new school sensibilities on tracks featuring artists such as Joss Stone, Stevie Wonder, and Jay-Z.

Interview on February 11, 2009 by OBSNews.com correspondent Patrick McGilvray with Google's Matt Cutts at the SMX West (Search Marketing Expo) conference in Santa Clara, CA.

The usual mixture of free pizza, beer and talks recently made for another smashing London Google Open Source Jam. The topic was Security, and the talks showed just how wide-ranging the subject is:

  • Ben LaurieCaja, a framework for running untrusted Javascript

  • Ben Smyth — Security protocols and how to express them, and why online voting could work

  • Jon Cowie — The Sysadmin view of Security: Virtual Machines, Ruby on Rails, packages and the complexities of auditing it all

  • Sam Mbale — Trust between users of applications on social networking sites

  • Douglas Squirrel — Real world PKI. A play in 3 acts. With props!

  • Glyn Wintle — Your personal data isn’t safe, and online voting can’t work

  • Gervase Markham — Phishing for profit and more profit

  • Joe Walnes — Cross site scripting and injection attacks

Each talk was limited to 5 minutes, with some trying to run longer — but we have a gong for such cases — and some running shorter. Questions are encouraged at the end of the talk, and in many cases lead to a discussion later. Of course, the talks were only part of the evening. Many impromptu discussions, not limited to Security, created debate on everything from Australian politics to mobile phones to automated testing.

We hope our guests found the evening as fun and informative as we did. If you are in or around London, you are welcome to join us for the next Open Source Jam. Keep your eye on our London OS Jam site for an announcement of the next Jam.
