Ignite Boston event

Thursday, May 8, 2008    0 Comments

[via the gaping chasm that is my stockpile of mostly un-read emails]:

O'Reilly is hosting another fun, free Ignite Boston event!

Ignite Boston is happening on Thursday, May 29, from 6 to 10pm at Tommy Doyle's in Harvard Square, Cambridge (www.tommydoyles.com). We're heading back to the venue of our first Ignite, but we're using two floors so we can accommodate more folks.

The evening's keynote speakers are:
  • Jonathan Zdziarski, iPhone maven and author of "iPhone Open Application Development" (This has me more excited than anything else right now)
  • John Viega, security guru and author of many O'Reilly titles, including the upcoming "Beautiful Security"
We're now accepting proposals for lightning talks, so if you want to speak for five minutes about a cool, new, or exciting topic, submit your idea here:

http://ignitenight.thirdeye.railsplayground.net/events/form/ignite_boston_3

Presentation Guidelines:
  • Be no longer than 5 minutes.
  • Be on an innovative topic (no sales pitches or launches, please!).
  • Be viewable on a PC with standard AV equipment.
Want to come to the event? RSVP at IgniteBoston at oreilly dot com for the chance to win $300 worth of O'Reilly books of your choosing. You must be present to win.

See you there!

And while you're waiting for Ignite...our friends at BarCampBoston are running another BarCamp on May 17th and 18th. BarCamp is a free unConference where you can participate in discussions, demo your projects, or join into another cooperative event.

Second Ignite Boston

Wednesday, August 29, 2007    0 Comments

Join us for the second Ignite Boston on Thursday, September 6, at Hurricane O'Reilly's (it's a bar, not Tim's office after Foo Camp). The fun lasts from 6 to 10pm, and there's no cover charge.



Ignite Boston is a night of geekery and networking. We'll have short talks
(5 minutes, 20 slides, 15 seconds per slide), launches of interesting
projects and products, and a few surprises, plus plenty of time to hoist a
beer with your fellow Igniters. (For those of you who attended the
fun-but-noisy first Ignite Boston--we've picked a venue that will allow
everyone to hear what's being presented.)



If you plan to attend, register at igniteboston@oreilly.com. When you
register, you'll also be entered in our drawing for a chance to win $300
worth of O'Reilly books of your choosing. The drawing will be at the
event, and you must be present to win.



To connect with some of the folks who attended the first Ignite Boston, go
to the Ignite Boston social network: http://igniteboston.crowdvine.com.



If you would like do a 5-minute Ignite talk on something cool, new, and/or
exciting, submit your idea(s) here:

We hope you can join us and contribute to the energy and excitement of
this unique event. And remember, no cover charge!
