Brian is the writer and maintainer of the open source forensics tools
Here is a question for Mr. Carrier, but can easily go to any of them-
With consumer and commerical hard drives getting larger and larger, (soon there will be a consumer-level 1TB HD) what effect will the sheer volume of information have on the forensics community in general, and the open-source forensics community in specific? Does the future include more automated tools? Distributed forensic examinations? Will the open-source forensic community be able to keep up with the commercial tools?
Thanks for those excellent questions.
More needed, everyone!

With on the fly drive encryption now becoming a reality, what will this mean for Digital forensics in the long term?

I should have added to the above-
and how will this affect future forensic software development.
Do you think the Open Source community will be able to keep pace with the Commerical Forensic Software Tool vendors?
Also, do you for-see the emergence of any niche markets and if so, in what areas?
What, if anything, do you think is missing from the Open Source solutions available that one can get in a commercial package ?
In the US court systems there is no “standard tool†for investigations. Do you believe the court systems will begin looking at tools and consider some more reliable than others?
This topic is now closed/locked and interview questions have been sent. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.
