^@saraford at the Community Leadership Summit

• @AmberCadabra the book I’d recommend is Getting in Touch with Your Inner Bitch.Seriously. in reply to AmberCadabra #
• Trying to figure out where I fit. That means defining what I do. Which is really hard. #
• #cls discussion on women in tech devolving into semantics. Not solving anything #
• #cls people really like to see pictures of those whose emails they are reading. Would video also be good? #
• #cls I would like to see studies of multiple online personas, why and how people do that #
• #cls The Ubuntu community works to recognize people who often go unsung eg translators #
• #cls open source software as appropriate technology. How can countries make and save money using open source? #
• #cls [In the developing world] need to train people how to use open source to make and save money. Need for local expertise. Govts are biggest IT spenders #
• #cls NB in Africa #
• @jonasthaler I’ve been at a conf all weekend – not sure what day it is nor what country I’m in! in reply to jonasthaler #
• Lazing over a Brazilian dinner in San jose. Not as good as brazil, but… #

• @clickryan I’ve been pretty happy with my Skype phone in reply to clickryan #
• @jeffreytaylor very woot! in reply to jeffreytaylor #
• #cls was exhausting precisely because there were so many stimulating people and topics to deal with. #
• this will be my 1st OSCON, but I fear my tolerance for formal conferences is pretty much totally gone. Unconferences much more satisfying #
• @markwilliams much more innocent. You saw Jack Adams #cls yesterday, right? in reply to markwilliams #
• fair warning: right now I am in the soggy everything-makes-me-weep phase of PMS. Tomorrow it will be “Look at me wrong and I’ll kill you!” #
• @TregorySullivan thanks, more need to step away from the office politics #animalcrossing in reply to TregorySullivan #
• Italians using Facebook to register their opposition to Berlusconi – http://bit.ly/Si8Wu #

• @Halcyon do your crocs at least match your hair? #47 in reply to Halcyon #

• if I design a piece of software – the presentation video streaming mixer tool I really need for conferences – will someone build it? #
• Filming Crossbow BoF at Oscon meeting room B1 if you’re in the area. It’s free, as in beer. #

• Okay enough about food – all I will get til 9pm is beer and munchy stuff #
• @pizzocalabro heavens! Who knew libraries were so dangerous? in reply to pizzocalabro #

• RT @SaraD: Which is geekier – Comic-Con or OSCon???? – either way, it was a mistake to schedule them together #

• “Community is fundamentally an interdependent human system given form by the conversation it holds with itself.” Peter Bloch – Jono #oscon #
• @jroemmele ooh, good idea [people attending conferences should have their names printed large on their shirts]. People working shows for their companies could at least have named shirts in reply to jroemmele #
• @bubbva CES got the badge names nice and big, but that’s the only conf where I’ve seen this. in reply to bubbva #
• “most people tend to associate with a primary community” says Jono – disagree, I belong to many (school, class, expats, Sun…) #oscon #
• @ElaineEllis here’s hoping I get to keep it [my cool traveling job]! I would die if I had to sit still. in reply to ElaineEllis #

• #jono has a book available for download from http://www.artofcommunityonline.org/ – judging by his talk, it’s well worth the read #
• #oscon Google – Getting Started in Free and Open Source – I guess my video could mostly be considered open source contributions #
• “The currency of the open source world is beer and t-shirts” #oscon – How true! #

• I’m truly, madly, deeply… tired. #

^ dunno if I should say something ironic about my Sun colleagues on the giant Monopoly board, or about “collect $200 salary as you pass.”

• about to begin a BoF session on OpenSolaris Source Juicer and other cloud-based open source collaboration tools – #oscon – ballroom A3 #
• I easily recognize @sogrady , but he doesn’t have a clue who I am. My advantage: the video of him & Mike Shapiro I did last year. #
• “Mr Berlusconi owns or controls much of Italian media… which have carried little info about the latest allegations. ” http://bit.ly/vTy9A #
• @ThinGuy I’m not complaining – I am truly terrible putting names to faces. At least I don’t forget a face once I’ve shot and edited video. in reply to ThinGuy #

• RT @sogrady: cut me and I’ll bleed small, folded up receipts – I know the feeling! #
• @lskrocki you can tell Mr. S from me that you are one of the world’s experts, and I do know what I’m talking about. P1/2 in reply to lskrocki #
• @lskrocki May have something to do with the fact that no one is ever famous to their own family. Pt 2/2 in reply to lskrocki #
• @lskrocki yeah, Twitter already knows that, remember? ; ) in reply to lskrocki #

• about to start filming the OpenSolaris security BoF, my last duty at #oscon. Then will drive a red Mustang to the airport and collapse #
• @jonobacon #oscon has been good, but frankly the #cls was more useful and stimulating for me. Many thanks, again, for making it happen. in reply to jonobacon #
• ah, shucks. Either Twitter is doing some heavy recalculations and was overly optimistic before, or a lot of followers have dropped me today #
• that’s it – I’m off the clock and mostly offline til Monday. Now to see a bunch of people I haven’t seen in 30 yrs – another of my tribes #
• WTF?!? Even the newsstand in this terminal is closed. I can’t even buy a trashy romance to read. What kind of #lame airport is this? #
• @mtuckerb sorry I missed you. Send that url and I’ll see what I can do for you (next week). Was good to talk yesterday! in reply to mtuckerb #
