I've invited Justin Frankel (of Winamp/Nullsoft, Gnutella, and Shoutcast,
among others) to speak at LUGOD.  I have a friend who knows him from AOL
and I figured I'd ask Justin to come speak before they lose contact (given
that Justin just quit AOL.)  So does anyone have any specific things they
want to hear from him?  I think he's got some interesting stories that I'd
like to hear (AOL vs. Gnutella's release, Nullsoft's $100M buyout).  I'd
also like to learn about Gnutella's network protocol and how Napster's
[old] criticism of Gnutell's scalability fits into all of it (and his
defense, if any, of the criticism.)
