Mac OS X Conference in Santa Clara

permanent link · Topic/MacOSX

Power Users and Developers — and Mac Music Heads — should come to the O'Reilly Mac OS X Conference in Santa Clara, CA on October 25th to 28th.

I'll be there again this year. I'm not talking technical this year (since I've been doing more Java than Cocoa for the last few months); instead, I'm on a panel called How to Run Your Own Software Business along with four notable developers. We will be exploring a broad range of topics in this expanded, ninety-minute session. What I contribute will be based upon my personal experiences building Watson and starting Karelia, dealing with suitors for an acquisition, and re-building a company and new product afterwards. No promises, but I might have some more hints about the new product that Terrence Talbot and I are working on, depending on our progress between now and then.

It looks like the conference will be really cool this year. Stewart Copeland will be there. Maybe I'll get to meet him, or at least be in the same room with him. Lots of "Cocoa Craftsmen" will be there. There will be some previews of Tiger. Lots of stuff about Music. What more could you ask for?

Of note is the hefty discount that they have made for Apple Developer Connection members (Hey, isn't it free to become an ADC member at the "online" level?) and employees of Apple Computer. Derrick Story has the scoop.

If you will be at the conference, please stop me and say "hi"!
