I try to speak at (primarily Open Source) conferences as frequently as possible. Below are slides, notes and (where available) recordings of my past presentations.
Talks currently in the repertoire
I sometimes get asked to talk at the last minute. There’s no time to write something new (it takes me a looong time to write a talk), so folks have to select from something on hand. Here are the titles I currently have ready to present with a day’s notice or so:
- A 10 Step Program for Great Tech Talks (2 hour workshop; cannot be shortened)
- A Crash Course in Tech Management
- A Remote Chance of Success
- Business of Community
- Care and Feeding of a Healthy Job Hunt (2 hour workshop; cannot be shortened)
- Cutting Some Slack: Decoding IRC
- Failure: Why It Happens & How to Benefit from It
- Have It Your Way: Maximizing Drive-Thru Contributions
- How to successfully enter the FOSS emerging market
- Industry of Cool
- Orienteering for Managers
- Passing the Baton: Succession planning for FOSS leadership
- This is What Winning Looks Like
