  5. What are the inhibitors to open source growth?
  6. How has open source changed our lives already (Wikipedia?)? Going forward?
  7. How will open source change education, government, entertainment and other areas frequently overlooked?

Forgive me, but I'm voting not for myself here, but for the topic. Nothing could be more important, methinks. And I have some great panelists in mind.

This will be a great opportunity to learn about the future of "free" from some bright folks. Free and open is always an interesting starting point for discussion.
