Ideas

 

  1. The PAN - Not sure what I'll talk about really. I could explain video encoding for the web and other technical aspects of video blogging, but I doubt that would be very interesting. Maybe I could talk about best practices of working with video collaboratively online? Or how we hacked our Wordpress to function as a video publisher? Anybody want to chime in? I know lotsa stuff about online video and video blogs, just not sure what y'all care to hear about. - Adam Quirk
    • ADAM - This is an excellent set of ideas - The Wordpress hack I want to hear about! - William Stratas
    • I second that - was thinking about doing the same thing recently! --Ben
      • Ok, thanks. I'll try to cover several bases, and I'll explain the WP stuff in more detail. This all looks really cool. Can't wait.
    • If you could add a bit on licensing (particularly CC licensing) to your talk, that would be awesome - AbhayKumar
  1. Getting your ideas into the marketplace. Doing what you want. Finding others to do what you dont like to do, dont have to do, dont have time to do or dont want to do. www.siliconalley.com I have helped ideas morph into companies. Ive helped people morph into more fufilling careers. I have a phone book, Ive helped sell a software company to Adobe, have had several other companies sold. I like building the human process capital of growing a business and obtaining success. My phone book of both people and resources create milestone accomplishment both personally and bank account wise. BTW we are also doing a 10th year, can you believe it, SiliconAlley reunion party, registration is free at www.siliconalley.com
  2. I can give a talk about Time Management for Technical People. I recently published the O'Reilly book on Time Management. (The talk won't be a sales-pitch, I promise!). Depending on how long the time slot is, I can do 5-10 minutes of prepared slides and the fill it with Q and A. TomLimoncelli
  3. I'm thinking about a talk on neurohacking but this is definitely a 30min topic. Anyone interested? - AbhayKumar
  4. Another talk idea that I have is on XSS exploits and attacks but I'd have to actually put it together sometime Saturday in order to pull it off on Sunday - AbhayKumar
  5. I'd like to talk about using open protocols like SIP, Atom Publishing Protocol, STUN, TURN, ICE, and HTTP to create the world's coolest and best engineered p2p network. Sprinkle a little bit of Google Base for a centralized tracker in there and some fancy JavaScript, and you're really starting to get somewhere. Feel free to chime in if interested! Also, I want to come up with a better term than p2p, without the stigmatism. "Participatory software" is about the best I've got, but there's a long way to go. "Community-Supported Software"? Still doesn't have the same ring as, say, "open source" -Adam Fisk
  6. Hack the Law. A free-form session on law, technology, and ways that lawyers and techies can work together to fix it. --Wendy Seltzer
  7. CCK and Views - Drupal's Content Construction Kit and Views lets you build, and manage almost any type of content online, easily. Whatever you need, blogs, book reviews, images, etc, you can just add fields to create it, then use Views to theme its display to the world. - I've changed my taopic but wuld be happy to collaborate with someone who wants to do this, or present a second session if people want it - Let me know. Sam Tresler
  8. Microsoft & Open Source - This morning, we talked about Microsoft and open source. MS has been getting its feet wet with open source. They have released 3 new open licenses under which project are being released: Permissive, Reference, and Community. The open source labs at MS have also opened a new site called Port 25. Please check these out and let me know any feedback you have on them.
