Coolio - I get visited by Joel Spolsky and he leaves a comment
Here’s the evidence that Joel was here.
Cool - welcome Joel to the conversation. Let’s make sure that my motivations and reasons for bitching at O’Reilly are clear. I’m an entreprenuer. I start and build software products and standards and have been successful in the past. We pay for some of these efforts ourselves, out of our own pockets and I try and help as many causes as possible.
Presenting at O’Reilly Etech - or anywhere else for that matter - is about the open standards, products and ideas that we’re developing and mainly GIVING away to our industry. I work very hard to play matchmaker and make these dreams come true. So when I’m denied stage time or when a price tag is put on that stage time - I take it personally. Sorry if that offends you or anyone else.
It shouldn’t. You should see it as a zealous, inspired individual trying to make his dream come true - of an open and meshed distributed free web 2.0. 3.0 and 4.0 for that matter.
It’s about open source infrastructure - exactly the stuff that Etech is supposed to be about. I give overflow panels on the subject at other conferences - also run by O’Reilly - so this whole thing is really weird.
And then to find out they’re selling slots - just adds insult to injury. I’d love to go see your panel or presentation at Etech - Joel - and I really think folks need to be clear on what’s being paid for, and what was handed out.
That’s why I don’t go to Demo or BlogOn. They’re officially bought and paid for conferences. I do don’t do that shit.
I dig scenes like mashup camp or Gnomedex or SXSW.
