Busy Conference Time Coming Up…Yuh!

The Fall conference bonanza and travel season is fast approaching. Here are some events I’ll be at:

  • Lone Star Ruby Conference, Sep. 7th and 8th, Austin, TX – next weekend, just up the street from me is one of the first (if the first?) ruby conferences in Austin. So of course I’ll be going to that! Hopefully I can get some video interviews for RedMonkTV. Maybe the intro to ruby and rails workshop the night before would be a lazy/quick way for me to refresh myself as well.
  • BMC Software Analyst Event, Sep. 12th-14th, Sonoma, CA – I haven’t been to a BMC analyst event yet, so this will be fun. It’ll be nice to catch up with my old BMC friends who are there as well.
  • Eclipse Marketing Symposium, Sep. 19th, Chicago, MI – where I’ll be doing a session/talk on the do’s and don’t of developer marketing. This should be particularly fun as I was a developer most recently before joining RedMonk. All my developer peeps can angle in their own tips as well ;> (Thanks to Ian for the invite!)
  • (Tentative) Power Architecture Developer Conference, Sep. 24th and 25th, Austin, TX – I always relish the chance to go to an Austin-based conference, and this one looks like it’d be a good time.
  • SAP Community Day & TechEd, Sep. 30th – Oct. 4th – as mentioned in a previous post, RedMonk will be helping with a track during Community Day. Additionally, the kind folks at the SAP Blogger’s Corner have invited me again to participate in the rest of the conference. I have nothing but good things to say about Mike and Stacy of the Blogger’s Corner, so thanks! (I’d have liked to go to Adobe MAX, but the two of these conferences tragically conflicted, too bad MAX isn’t in Las Vegas this year ;> Thanks to all the folks who’ve checked up on my MAX attendance.)
  • InnoTech, Oct. 11th, Austin, TX – thanks to whurley, I’ll be speaking on a panel about open source, “Navigating the Open Source Community”.
  • SAP Community Day & TechEd EU, Oct. 16th-18th, Munich – we’ll be doing the RedMonk track for the euro crowd as well. And thanks again to the Blogger’s Corner for an invite to the rest of the conference.
  • IBM Annual Briefing for Software IT Analysts, Nov. 7th and 8th, Stamford, CT – IBM analyst events are always nice on the information up-take, not to mention a reason to go to the suburbs of NYC ;>

As always, I’d love to get together with people if they’re at the same events or in the vicinity ;>

SAP TechEd Community Days: Las Vegas and Munich

James and will be hosting a track at two of the SAP TechEd Community Days, the first in Las Vegas, the second in Munich.

The idea behind these Community Days is to provide an open forum for people to present and share ideas and technologies. The RedMonk track is intended to bring in an outside perspective, along with an idea for cool new things going on. So, for example, we’ll probably talk about all the * 2.0 excitement going on and how to pull that into SAP-land and vice-versa.

As with the RedMonk Community Day at JavaOne this year, the hope is to bring the spirit of barcamps to this event: a free-flowing and fun exchanging of ideas. Put another way, it’s a chance to dork out ;>

Each event has 4 slots for presentations and talks, reserving one slot as open until the day of for people to fill on the spot. So far, we have the Las Vegas (Oct. 1st, 2007) slots filled up, but we’ll looking to fill that day of slot and, more importantly, assemble a group of people interested in talking about the intersection of SAP-land and the rest of the world.

For Munich (Oct. 16th, 2007), we have two slots filled already (our own and one by Nigel James), so now’s your chance to lock down a slot of your own.

I’ll be doing a few video preview/interviews with some of the participants that should be up in the next few weeks. Until then, check out the wikis and, hopefully we’ll see you there! 😉

Disclaimer: SAP is a customer and is paying for us to host the RedMonk track above.

Vacation!

I’ll be on vacation tomorrow and Friday (Aug 30th and 31st). And, despite my air-headed attempts to schedule meetings with some of you on Monday — Labor Day you remind me — I’ll be off on Monday as well.

See ya’ll next week!
