Where are you going to be at 1.30pm on Sat 21st Feb 2009? I know where I will be. I will be speaking at the always excellent SoCal Linux Expo in Los Angeles. There I will be delivering my talk Building Belonging, exploring the underlying recipe behind behind what makes great community and babbling on [...]

In my talk I asked how many people use Ubuntu. This was the result. Wow. A few days ago I headed to Columbus, Ohio to take part in Ohio Linuxfest. I was there to provide the closing keynote – a new presentation that I have been thinking a lot about recently called Building Belonging. OLF [...]

Step back, put on the protective visor, and get ready for some quickies: I did an interview with Orv at SCaLE about Ubuntu, Canonical, LugRadio, SCaLE, speaking and various other things. Go and grab it here. Ubuntu Developer Week is kicking arse and taking names, and do continue to Digg it. It is going to [...]

Just finished the always excellent SCALE conference in Los Angeles. All in all, an excellent event, and thanks again to the conference organisers for making myself, and all the other speakers feel incredibly welcome. SCALE saw the first showing of my brand new talk Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants: The Coming Of The Linux [...]
