Saxophonist Alex Terrier is a native of Paris, France. Terrier graduated from the Lycee de Sevres and studied at the National School of Music before earning a scholarship to attend Berklee, where he was awarded the Joseph Viola Scholarship and the Herb Pomeroy Award. He performed with, and composed for, three of the best jazz bands at the college: the Concert Jazz Orchestra, the Rainbow Big Band, and the Rainbow All Stars. Terrier toured Costa Rica last year and recorded Stop Requested for Aphrodite Records, his first album as a leader. Jazz Revelation Records presents two FREE summer concert series featuring artists performing at venues in Cambridge and Boston on the same day: the 3rd Annual Kendall Square Concert Series, every Thursday at noon, and Harborwalk Sounds: Berklee at the ICA, 6:00 p.m., three Thursdays a month. A complete schedule of dates and times is below. Artists include Berklee student and alumni jazz, world, Latin, and r&b musicians, some of whom are featured on the new Jazz Revelation Records CD The New Old School, including MUNDuO, Zili Misik, Eleonora Bianchini, Daniel Ori, Alex Terrier, and Juan Ospina. Jazz Revelation Records (JRR), Berklee's student-run jazz record label, was formed in the spring of 2003. The label is made possible by a grant funded by the college. Under previous management, Jazz Revelation Records successfully released the compilation CDs Rebirth, Two, and Ars Nova. Under the direction of current president Michael Borgida, the label has just released its fourth album, The New Old School. For the new CD, JRR gathered eight young, passionate, and committed artists from around the world, all speaking the traditional language of jazz in a new way. The Kendall Square Concert Series take place at 300 Athenaeum St., Kendall Square, Cambridge, MA, every Thursday, noon to 2:00 p.m., June 7 September 13. The Kendall Square Concert Series is sponsored by BioMed Realty Trust, Watermark Residences, and ConstellationCenter. For more information, please call (617) 577-7354.

The Harvard University Internet & Society 2007 Conference (IS2K7) explores the role of University in cyberspace. There are staggering implications to the increasing importance of the Internet in organizing, sharing, making meaning of, and creating information and knowledge, and perhaps no more fundamental questions than those about the University’s place in this new environment. As the world’s main engine for knowledge creation, dissemination and utilization – and a parent of the Net – both individual universities and the University as an institution are faced with grave and important questions about how to behave in this emergent ecosystem. In the constantly changing and complex evolution of the Net, it seems that University has both as special interest and a special obligation to make the most of this unique platform. There is tremendous for-profit participation and increasing governmental involvement in the Net, but many users have been left worrying about their integrity of their interests in the face of these forces. With its mission mapping so closely to the aforementioned and most transformative aspects of the Net, and thus our own, it is clear that University’s actions are of the utmost importance to us all. University must ask itself about this new integrated media space: whose interests University represents, what it means to be open now, and how to think about (and address) the legal, technical, economic and social constraints on developing, sharing and using knowledge. We will consider topics such as open access models for scholarly publication, designing and creating the libraries of the future, and the broader context of the interactions between University, government, and for-profit corporations in this landscape. The sixth edition of this biannual university-wide event will be held on June 1, 2007 in Cambridge, MA, and attracts a diverse group of scholars, students, entrepreneurs, technologists, administrators and policymakers. It is organized by the Berkman Center for Internet & Society and partners around Harvard, and supported by the Office of the Provost at Harvard, Science Commons, and others. The substance of our conversations – and their outputs – will be largely driven by the conference participants through a series of events and online conversations. The combination of these modes will help focus the conference’s lines of inquiry and develop community, allowing the gathering to be another aspect of an ongoing conversation rather than the final word.

Come see the premiere our 48 Hour Film, "le parapluie et le ushanka" (it's 7 minutes long - but *made* in 48 hours for whoever asked). We drew the spy genre and made a film about JJ Rousseau, a French spy who is tired of this job and wants to run away with his girlfriend, but must perform one more assassination before he can quit - or so we are led to believe.
