Ignite Portland was one heck of an event. All the speakers were great and the organizers made a smooth event. Congrats!
I never really appreciated the five minute presentation until that night. Everybody has a story. Everybody has something they love. And everybody can talk for five minutes about it. If you get the chance, do it! I had a lot of fun.
Here are my slides from Ignite Portland. This was more challenging than I thought. I have plenty of material, which is exactly the problem. Getting it down to exactly 20 slides was a crunch. So much to leave out… but in the end is the true core of how I’m looking at the history of the button.
There’s no audio here, but they will be posting videos from the event in about two weeks.
Let me know what you think!
