* Kanzure shared an article about "mutation of citations" from The Scientist, discussing how citations can accumulate heritable mutations similar to genetic information, suggesting parallels between information transmission and biological evolution.

* A patent reform idea was shared suggesting patents should only be useful for defensive purposes, alongside discussion of Bruce Perens' comments on the limitations of open hardware licensing under U.S. copyright law.

* The Global Innovation Commons project was mentioned (globalinnovationcommons.org), which catalogs public domain patents, including repositories for specific conditions like sickle cell anemia in Russia.

* Kanzure discussed maintaining a detailed log of all personal meetings (meetlog.txt) with scripts that generate visualizations, tag clouds, contact frequency data, and recommendations for future interactions.

* A reference was made to Tagsistant, a FUSE-based tagging filesystem that might be relevant to a project called "tagfs" that was previously discussed.
