I Beat Paul Everitt To The Punch
Filed Under:
I gave the first Plone speech at a well known academic research institute in Taiwan.
I had the honour of giving the first Plone speech at the Academia Sinica in Taipei, Taiwan recently. TsungWei Hu, who arranged for me to give the speech, manages the Open Source Software Foundry (OSSF) project, whose key objectives are to promote Open Source Software in Taiwan. TsungWei mentioned that he had been meaning to ask Paul Everitt to give a speech regarding Plone at the Academia Sinica (Paul - hint, hint) but hadn't, so I got in first ;-)
This speech was the last in a series of Plone presentations I have been giving. The first of which was in Tokyo, Japan, and the next was for the Taipei Open Source Software User Group (TOSSUG). At the TOSSUG meetup I was able to meet Sean Moss-Pultz and Harald Welte of the OpenMoko project. Sean is the General/Technical Manager for the OpenMoko project, while Harald is the Lead System Level Architect. As I'm an Open Source fan and enjoy hacking my own computer, I'm really excited about what Sean, Harald and the rest of the OpenMoko Core Team are doing as mobile phones in general are pretty much closed devices nowadays.
