#nv11

That was what we put on the front of the t-shirts this year, #nv11. Some bright spark (I for­get who, sorry, the two days blur together a bit) poin­ted out that the t-shirts were green with NV, which was an impress­ive pun, or at least bet­ter than any­thing I could come up with on my own. […]

Keynotes and Journeys

Every year, when we start organ­ising North­ern Voice, the ques­tion comes up about key­notes. Key­notes set the tone of a con­fer­ence, they indic­ate some­thing of what the organ­ising com­mit­tee is think­ing, or what they think the com­munity that sup­ports the con­fer­ence might want to hear about. This year, I wanted to find someone as a […]

Northern Voice 2009

I’m slowly recov­er­ing from the whirl­wind that was North­ern Voice this year (I’m one of the organ­isers).

Personal NV Musings

I just got back from the North­ern­Voice organ­iz­ing committee’s post-conference lunch.

Ebbs and Blogs

One of the inter­est­ing ses­sions I went to at North­ern­Voice was the Blogs are Dead; Long Live the Blog­ger ses­sion facil­it­ated ably by Chris Lott. There’s a write-up on this wiki; as usual a lot of thought-provoking stuff was said, only some of which I’ve found recor­ded. I’ve noticed changes myself over the last few […]

MooseCamp 2008

Another nice Fri­day in Feb­ru­ary for Moose­Camp; some­how the Moose­Camp day man­aged to score nice weather two years in a row. This year’s Moose­Camp was big­ger than pre­vi­ous years, and I think we’re get­ting to the limit of how many people we can take without los­ing some­thing. We also seem to be get­ting a lot […]
