Video from OSCON

July 28th, 2008 Posted in Life

MindTouch recently attended the OSCON open source software conference in Portland. Steve and I presented a session on open collaboration that was very well attended. MindTouch also celebrated the two year birthday of MindTouch Deki (since product release).

Here’s some video of Ted and I having fun at the Sun/MySQL/Zend party. Ted is great.

Unfortunately, I can’t find any video of me attacking the Sumo wrestlers in the full bunny suit, kicking their asses, and then stealig a tricycle from some guy. I’m still hoping video or photos will surface.

Here’s an interview of me from Linux.com. As usual it takes me the first few minutes to lighten up and be myself (about half way into the interview :-( ).

Also of note, resulting from OSCON, a lot of press for MindTouch. And my new tattoo (no, not my first) courtesy of SourceForge.net:

New tattoo

A few people have commented on the commitment to MindTouch this represents…euh…no shit. To those of you who do not know this. I started the company with Steve back in 2005 and gestated the idea with him in late 2004. He and I helped create the design of the logo (Chris, wherever you are–great work). No the logo doesn’t have cross bones; this was my addition. Arrrg. MindTouch has absorbed an enormous amount of my time and energy in the last three years. It will undoubtedly continue to do so for a few more years. Hell yah I’ll ink that on my leg. Now I don’t have to wear stickers. :-)

    You are definitely memorable. I think the next haircut should be a mohawk to seal the deal. Good hanging out last week I don’t know what shows more commitment wearing the bunny suit or getting the ink.

    LOL, always a joy to spend time with you Mhinkle. I had intended to spend more time. Still have some outstanding conversation topics. :-)

    I like the hair cut! Nice tat also. I want to get more ink in mine so I can get my new one.
