Dog Food Conference Success!

The great folks that organize the Dog Food Conference in Columbus have done it again: they did a great job putting this year’s conference together. There is still another day to the event, but alas, I’m leaving on vacation tomorrow and won’t be able to attend. For those that came to my two talks today, or anyone interested, here are some links to my presentations: **Cloud: It’s More than Just Virtual Machines **(SlideShare)

If you aren’t familiar with the CodeMash conference, you should really check it out! This is a conference not dedicated to one type of stack, but one that revels in mixing people from all stacks. You’ll find some Ruby folks discussing patterns with .NET folks or PHP developers doing katas with Java developers. The purpose of the conference is to share knowledge across stacks, but above all, be passionate and open-minded about our industry.

Bring Human Food to a Dog Food Conference!

I blogged a little while back about the upcoming Dog Food Conference coming up Nov 8th and 9th in Columbus. This is a joint community and partner led conference for folks interested in the Microsoft stack. There will be a ton of topics covered over the two days, but this blog post is about something else. The steering committee for the Dog Food Conference will be helping local charities by collecting non-perishable food items at the conference.
