Dear Technical Conference Organizer

I am a conference junkie. I love attending them, organizing them, speaking at them, planning to attend them, seeing my friends at conferences, making friends with the nice (but often stressed) people who run conferences and so on. I even like eating the (often bad) food - kvetching about it builds a sense of [...]

Speaking at FrOSCon 2007

I just received word that my proposal (which was to present my Age of Literate Machines presentation) for FrOSCon has been accepted.
I'm pretty excited - the event should be fun and it will give me a good chance to see friends (including a good number of my German MySQL colleagues)

Oracle: We are the Borg?

Local venture cap/tech blogger Paul Kedrosky recent posted that:
