Upcoming Events

It looks like I am going to get to participate in some pretty neat events in Nashville over the next month.

Technology Nashville – Thursday May 21st
I am going to be participating on a panel discussion on "Dashboards, Widgets and Other Components to Track Performance". The discussion will be moderated by Bayard Saunders and will also Michael Summar, Garrett Harper, and Major Wang.

Mobile Communications Roundtable – June 4th
I don’t know all of the details yet, but I think it is going to be a panel discussion of mobile platforms including Blackberry, Windows Mobile, and iPhone. I am sure we will include a little about Android too. I really like how the NTC has been evolving over the past year and am grateful for the opportunity to get to participate.

Nashville LAMP User Group presentation on AppEngine – June 16th
It looks like the LAMP User Group is going to be great. This month Jon Wage is presenting on Symfony (PHP) and in July Cory Watson is going to be presenting on Catalyst (Perl). AppEngine isn’t quite the LAMP stack (no L and no P and A isn’t Apache), then again alternate databases and webservers are getting more popular. I would love to see future presentations on MySQL, document databases like CouchDB and Tokyo Cabinet, and an overview of webservers including Apache and nginex (hint, hint).

So if you are interested in learning about any of these topics or just want to keep me from talking above my pay grade, come out and support some local tech events in Nashville and say hi.
