DIY-Conferences

DIY-Conferences 06/28/2004 11:40 AM

Here'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 Kind of Conferences

New Kind of Conferences 05/08/2004 05:21 PM

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).

Two must-attend conferences

Two must-attend conferences 09/01/2004 04:31 AM
August 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.

New Fawcette Conferences

New Fawcette Conferences 12/18/2003 02:13 AM

Lots 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.

Linux Torvalds on Conferences

Linux Torvalds on Conferences 03/06/2004 01:57 AM
I 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....

Of books and conferences and things 12/17/2004 06:27 PM
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.

The Return Of Useless Expensive
Conferences

The Return Of Useless Expensive
Conferences 05/14/2004 01:32 PM
About 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.

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.

Conference Alerts - Academic Conferences Worldwide
http://www.conferencealerts.co 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 Research Resources Subject Tracer Information Blog. This will be added to Academic Resources 2004-05 Internet MiniGuide.

At first glance this might look like a "press release turned into a story" article since it started with an announcement by I.D.E.A.L. Technology of Orlando, Florida. But how and why I.D.E.A.L. vice presidents Anthony Awtrey and Jordan Jacobs brought in a contract to provide wireless (and wired) networking services to the IEEE Project 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 Electronic Engineers -- was getting free Microsoft-based wireless (and wired) networking products, but decided it was better to pay for Linux-based networking because it worked better.
