Yesterday the 1st BarCampOrlando was held. It went extremely well.
I am honestly very impressed that they were able to have as many talks, just about non-stop from 1 PM - 8:30 PM. My biggest regret is not doing a demo.
Talks I enjoyed
- Introduction to Facebook
- Introduction to Agile
- Cow orking
I’m a bit frustrated I was stuck trying to get the live Flickr feed to work and missed Elliot’s talk.
I recently joined the Ubuntu Florida LoCo team and it was cool to meet a few people from the team there. Also the install fest was cool, not a ton of participants but those who did try it out booted up fine. Especially impressive is that it booted up on a Macbook Pro.
So I’ve been having a lot of trouble focusing lately. Especially this week. Of all weeks, why this week?
News, news…. So Sean’s got a kickin idea for a web service, very excited about that one. I’ll let you know when there is something to see.
Have you tried Wesabe? I started uploaded some stuff but haven’t had a lot of time to mess with it. Seems like it might be helpful.
So related to the web service Statiksoft is gonna develop, I am going to try and come up with a user stats dashboard design. I REALLY want to learn how to generate some sexy PDF reports. Reportlab looks promising. It’s just a matter of how much promise I show.
Saw Interpol last night. Yup.
Oh yeah and BarCampOrlando is Sunday!!!!
The National played a very nice set on Monday. I liked seeing them in a smaller venue than the Atlantic Civic Center. The smoking gave me a headache quick though.
The Collective played a nice set tonight also. Nice to get a preview of Taste.
Saturday evening the BarCampOrlando staff meeting is taking place at Taste. I’m gonna show up and volunteer my services. Whatever those might consist of.
