I attended this with Jonas Thaler for the second time. Not sure what the excuse was, but the reason was that I wanted to go. As usually happens, I managed to make myself useful by introducing people to each other – above, Jonas meets Jonathan King.

Problematic employers in tech AWS Evangelists’ Summit 2017 Stockholm, June 2014 Open Storage Summit, 2008

Two days of conferences organized by me. These took place at the Children’s Creativity Museum in San Francisco, deliberately on the same dates that Oracle Open World was being held next door at Moscone Center – I was surprised that Oracle hadn’t pre-emptively rented the Museum themselves.

There were good times and there were bad ones.

I think this was the last event I worked for Sun/Oracle, in early November 2010 – I resigned right after Thanksgiving later that month.

Brendan Gregg and Jim Mauro gave a birds-of-a-feather session, the only video that survives from that event (though I had filmed an entire day of Solaris-related talks).
