06/28/2004 11:40 AMHere's some interesting insights
from Ted Leung.
Another reason that I'm not missing JavaOne or WWDC terribly much
is that I would really like to see more meetings that have the flavor
of the DIY-IT events that Doc is thinking about. I go to conferences
for the people and for the chance to do something in high bandwidth
mode. For me absorbing information via presentations is low bandwidth
mode. You usually can only learn enough to know that you need to go
read a pile of specs or code, so it's not really that helpful. I can
do that at home or online. The thing that is hard to do is real time
full bandwidth discussions with other people.
One thing that surprised me was that Doc didn't think about the
Sci-Fi con angle for his events. There's a reason that ApacheCon and
PyCon are called ApacheCon and not ApacheOne or PyCon and not the
World Wide Python Developer's conference. The names do say a lot. I
guess Doc missed Ken Coar walking around in his Star Trek uniform.

New Fawcette Conferences
New Fawcette Conferences
12/18/2003 02:13 AMLots of Fawcette news today. I probably should have just batched it
all into one entry, but oh well.
The other news is that they just announced their new
conferences in San Francisco, March 23-27.
Included are conferences on Mobile, Speech, Visual Studio, .NET
(ASP.NET, C# and VB), and SQL Server. Bill Gates will keynote.
Fawcette's competitors, DevConnections, are also
planning a series of conferences. I really want to go to the Windows
Connections conference, but I need to be here on campus for an event
in early April. Bummer.
Conferences with Macs
Conferences with Macs
04/09/2004 04:08 PMThree reasons Macs make excellent companions to geek-centric
conferences:
- iChat and Rendezvous. iChat uses Rendezvous
(aka zero configuration networking) to automatically display a list of
all other iChat users on the same network as you. In a conference
setting this can be a great way of seeing who's around - I met a
couple of people at SxSW who I'd been hoping to run in to by
co-ordinating a metting via iChat. A few panelists even used iChat to
take questions during their panels. Here's a
screenshot of iChat Rendezvous taken during SxSW.
- SubEthaEdit, which really has to be seen to be believed. I made a half hearted
attempt to get a SubEthaEdit session going at SxSW but failed to
achieve critical mass. Ted Leung at PyCon seems to have got it sussed.
- EtherPEG.
This isn't as essential as the other two but can be a lot of fun -
it's an ethical (as in it doesn't steal anything important) network
sniffer which displays a selection of images currently being
transferred across the network. It provides an often surreal insight
in to the browsing habits of other conference goers.
I remember hearing Mac owners complain of being treated like
second-class citizens. I haven't felt like that once in nearly three
months of owning a Mac.

Check out Dave's rant
on conference and his prototype
design of a new kind of conferences: BloggerCon II.
Damn. Now I regret
I didn't make it to BloggerCon II. First BloggerCon wasn't
that attractive to
me and the second one left me scratching my head. Now I know
I should have been
knocking my head instead to let the idea of a totally open
conference in.
Kudos, Dave (someday I'll find out what the hell that means
precisely).

09/01/2004 04:31 AMAugust is turning out to be a nice, quiet month after the turmoil of
July, when it seemed I spent more time on the road - at Catalyst, Open
Source Conference, SCO Forum, and LinuxWorld - than in the office. It
won’t last, though, as the always-busy fall conference schedule is
soon to begin. There are two upcoming events I should remind you about
now so that you can plan accordingly.

Linux Torvalds on Conferences
Linux Torvalds on Conferences
03/06/2004 01:57 AMI was just finishing Just for Fun: The Story of an Accidental
Revolutionary tonight when I ran across the following passage at the
beginning of the last chapter. I immediately thought of my good friend
Stavros the Wonder Chicken, and one of his recent rants. I usually
save quotations for my linklog, but since I couldn't find this one
online, and considering the exalted nature of the source, I decided to
reproduce it here. I don't exactly agree with ii, but I enjoy it, and
I hope you enjoy it too, STWC: Is there anything more obnoxious than
business prognosticators? Those self-important types who pretend to
know where the insane technology amusement ride will take us? I guess
they serve a good function. They populate the panel discussions and
keynote speeches of the indistinguishable technology conferences that
seem to crop us like unpleasant, inedible mushrooms in your flower
bed. People hoping to cash in on technology trends spend thousands of
dollars to hear them speak at technology conferences. It keeps an army
of hotel workers and food handlers and bartenders honestly employed,
so I suppose they serve a purpose. -- Linus Torvalds Unfortunately,
this was the best piece in the book. Linus' code is better than his
prose. As he himself says elsewhere "I'm hopeless when it comes to
documentation." It's not a bad book, it's just a short article's worth
of information on Linus Torvalds puffed up into a book. The kind of
book that I might buy in paperback at an airport bookstore before a
transcontinental flight and leave on the plane for the next passenger
at the other end. If you are interested in a good history of Linux and
open source, I highly recommend instead Glyn Moody's Rebel Code: Linux
and the Open Source Revolution. It is a highly readable book that
covers the main events in the creation of Linux, and explains many of
the internal controversies that can be very puzzling to newcomers,
such as why a lot of people prefer the term GNU/Linux, or what the
difference is between Free Software and Open Source. It also has
capsule biographies of many of the leading lights in the Open Source
movement. An interesting and fun read....

As has been obvious to some of my readers (thanks for your lovely
notes, folks), I've been positively swimming in work at my "day job,"
leaving me little time for my usual noodlery on raelity bytes.
The
Hacks series has been a
raging success and we have some 31 books out in print--most recently
Mind Hacks by the incomparable Tom Stafford and Matt Webb. I've
also just finished writing, reshuffling, and otherwise updating
Google Hacks, 2nd
Edition, a moving target thanks to the all-but-weekly additions to
the Google lineup.
I've been building the
O'Reilly Emerging
Technology Conference (Firefox keyword
etech), coming
to San Diego, March 14-17, 2005. While always a rewarding experience
working with my amazing program committee, the speakers, and sponsors,
it's been quite a large portion on my plate. The
core of
the conference is now set, with a goodly mix of 15 minute "High
Order Bit" talks and 45 minute nitty gritty sessions, 6 fab tutorials,
and the usual blend of interesting people, conversations, and events.
And there's more to come...
So there it is. I am thrilled to be on the penultimate day of my work
year, heading into a couple of weeks off. I'll finally get a chance to
turn those
.txt-s into
.txts (blosxom users
will get the reference) and have get a few of the thoughts I've had on
my stack on my blog instead.

Why IT managers value analyst firms'
conferences
Why IT managers value analyst firms'
conferences
05/19/2004 03:10 PM ORLANDO, Fla. -- "You can't trust vendor marketing material at all,"
said the CIO for a Midwest-based manufacturing company over beers at
the GigaWorld 2004 conference. It costs around $2,000 to attend, and
there are about 800 people here; I was told unofficially that at least
500 paid in full. And this isn't a big analyst-sponsored conference,
either. Gross revenue of $1 million (not taking into account
sponsorships, advertising sales, etc.) strictly from attendees for a
four-day conference -- that looks like a profitable enterprise.

The Return Of Useless Expensive
Conferences
The Return Of Useless Expensive
Conferences
05/14/2004 01:32 PMAbout a year ago, I got annoyed at some of the pointless "big thinker"
conferences that were showing up and wrote up a random essay about
the
conference I wanted to attend, which was basically playing off the
idea that the only useful time at a conference was at lunch, when you
actually got to talk to others. I also wanted to force people at the
conference into seeing things from the side of people who opposed
them, just to make the conversation a little more interesting.
Unfortunately, it appears that, with the economy starting to comeback,
conference organizers are pushing more of these useless "big thinker"
conferences. Charles Cooper over at CNET is
making a similar
point to the one I made after getting invited to yet another of
these pointless conferences that wants to charge a few thousand
dollars (he doesn't say, but the conference in question is Web 2.0).
Basically, they're putting the same people on stage and expecting
everyone to pay thousands of dollars (though, to make this one even
worse: it's "invite only" - but you can
request an invitation to
pay $2,000, which seems particularly obnoxious) to listen to
people say what you already know they're going to say. As Cooper
points out: "It is not long before at least half the attendees slip
into the corridor, where the conversation is infinitely more
interesting. Plus, there's coffee." All that for between $1,695 to
$2,790. No thanks.

m/Conference Alerts brings together two groups of
people - conference organizers, and academics who need to stay
informed about conferences. They work with both small first-time
conference organizers and established professional societies to ensure
that notification of their conferences reach specifically interested
parties. Both individual academics and a wide range of 'knowledge
brokers' - such as journal editors, web site administrators and
discussion list moderators - rely on our searchable online database
and on Conference Alerts Monthly to remain informed about upcoming
academic and professional events. They are based in South Africa, but
operate as a global organization maintaining an extensive, constantly
updated database of conferences and subscribers all over the world.
Their internet-based automated process enable them to provide this
service at no cost to subscribers and at no cost (for a basic listing)
or at a nominal fee (for the Featured Event service) to conference
organizers. This has been added to the tools section of

Technology of Orlando, Florida. But how and why I.D.E.A.L. vice

802 Standards Committee and Wireless Working Groups should serve as a
lesson to Linux solution providers all over the world, especially in
light of the fact that IEEE -- the Institute of Electrical and
