SCALE 6x: Hello, Can Anyone Hear Me?
I started liveblogging Adaora Onyia's, "Hello, Can Anyone Hear Me?" session, but after a few moments abandoned the attempt – the presentation left me too conflicted to easily commit notes on it to text.
Adaora's presentation described survival tactics for a workplace that I'd prefer never to enter, along with gender roles that I'd rather not [...]

SCALE 6x LiveBlogging: Linux in Early Education
LA is wearing her typical veil of grey-brown smog. I've been here for enough hours that I can't really smell it anymore – or much of anything else, for that matter. I'm at the LA Airport Weston with the rest of the SCALE 6x attendees.
I'm sitting in Steve Oualline's session on Linux in Early Education. [...]

Advancing the Mozilla Manifesto
Most regular readers of this blog are familiar with the Mozilla Manifesto and with the work that the Mozilla Corporation undertakes to advance the manifesto. It is good work. Actually, it is great work from a great community of people. However, the corporation focuses most on Firefox and the related software and communities. The manifesto [...]

Conference Report: OpenMind & MindTrek 2007
OpenMind 2007 and MindTrek 2007 were excellent mid-sized (400+ participants) tech events that brought together a great mix of people - academics, working developers, activists, senior IT management, public servants, industry veterans, innovators and even pirates [0].
Some presentations were lackluster, but the informal discussions were awesome. There [...]

OpenMind 2007 Day 2 / MindTrek 2007 Day 1
I'm sitting in the plenary session for the first day of MindTrek and the second day of OpenMind. I won't be live-blogging the sessions today - instead, I have a presentation to give (and need to pre-load my talk buffers) and hope to spend more time meeting people today.

Back from OSCON '06
I just got back into Vancouver a few hours ago and am about ready to crawl into bed.
OSCON '06 was _awesome_ - however, five full days (and long evenings) of awesome requires some recuperation time.
More blogging on the event and people who attended as I go through my notes.

OSCON Highlight: Making Sales While Making Friends
I am really impressed by Matt Asay's presentation on Making Sales While Making Friends: Lessons Learned from Open Source Businesses. I don't entirely agree with all of Matt's conclusions, but the value of material is great. Matt clearly outlines sensible practices and sets reasonable expectations for Free Software/Open Source businesses.
Some of the really sensible (and [...]
s/Blogging/Talking/:Tim Bray hits the nail on the head
Tim Bray hits the nail directly on the head when he writes the following about the hoopla surrounding the risks of blogging to corporations:
As a thought experiment, replace the word ‘blogging’ with ‘email’ or ‘conference presentation’ or ‘teleconference’ or ‘sales presentation’. Or ‘barroom conversation’ for that matter. Quick, quick, you wanna be safe, you better [...]
