A brief history of Reboot (revisited)
100% personal and biased. It's been a blast every single year.

R1 Beginning
What hell is Reboot? Justin Hall kicks off. Carl Steadman. Opasia. Huge gap between US gurus and danish early netrepreneurs. First and last time I ever experienced groupies.

R2 Bizz
OMG this is a "real" industry. Dot-com. Kawasaki sez don't worry be crappy. Smug americans revisited. Startups. Sunshine. Show-me-the-money.

R3 Bubble
3000 people. Pundits. Rageboy. Limos. Drugs. Money. Boo.com closes same day as Reboot. gaab.dk also closes down.

R4 Blog
Post-bubble-semi-depression. Personal publishing iz da hot shit. Rushkoff delivers perhaps the most memorable Reboot talk ever, the theme of new rennaiss (can never spell that one) still echoing in this years theme.

R5 Beer
A-little-too-Selforganized a-little-too-open space. Circlejerk conversations. If you open your mind too much, your brain might fall out. Rheingold, Doctorow. Tragedy of the commons indeed. Africa. Peer-to-peer religion.

R6 reBirth
Small cozy crowd. Back to basics, usability. Liveblogging, live documentation to the max. Semantic web. Blogging makes the world go around.

R7 Broad
First "European" Reboot, before R7 the main model was americans-flown-in-to-tell-danes-new-stuff. Now new crowd, new dynamics. Backchannel. Conversations.The highest concentration of 12" PowerBooks ever recorded in Copenhagen.

R8 Brainy
OK, so now your mom has a blog, now what? All the shiny and/or revolutionary tools are now free or cheap commodities, now what? The money is creeping back in. Use your brain, Luke.

R9 Brainstorm
Scattered, sketchy, mashedup but challenging. Participate to profit. More of the same, but more is different.

R10 Build
Meat-and-potatoes internet interactive information is superoldhat 2.0. Next wave is hacking, building your own devices and creating a better future. Oh, and sharing your shit. Highest concentration of Apple hardware ever seen in CPH.
