Portland and San Francisco Travel This Month

Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2011 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.

I'm speaking at Open Source Bridge - June 21–24, 2011 - Portland, ORI'm going to be in San Francisco next week for in-person collaboration with my Wikimedia colleagues. Then, June 19-25, I'm at the Open Source Bridge conference, presenting Learn Tech Management In 45 Minutes.

It took me two years to get a master's in tech management. I save you $40K and give you the short version.

Managing innovation, intellectual property and employment law, corporate finance, building a business plan — my master’s degree in technology management gave me some grounding in a bunch of suit stuff. I’ll teach you a little of each of these, plus insights from my management experience and fish-out-of-water anecdotes. Aspiring executives welcome; ties optional.

It would be lovely to have time to hang out with acquaintances and friends in either location; contact me!

I'd like to hear this presentation sometime, actually. Sounds pretty good. Not fly-to-Portland-on-a-whim good, but pretty good.
