SDForum is Just Amazing These Days
William Grosso @ July 28, 2006
I’ve been a volunteer at SDForum for a long time, I strongly believe that SDForum is one of the good things in the valley, and a key part of the ecosystem. But I’m also an “insider” and that means sometimes I get a little wrapped up in the details and forget to see the forest.
Last night, I was at the SAM SIG to see Jon Kern and Chris Hofman speak (sidenote: Minimo is the perfect name for the mobile version of Firefox). Aaron Ludtke began the evening by mentioning SDForum events of interest coming in the next two weeks.
And I was just amazed. August, normally the deadest month of the year, has so many good talks. From the Ruby SIG to (the one I chair) to SEM SIG’s coverage of agile methodologies to Cal Henderson talking about scalability to the deeply cool “unsig” experiment that the startup SIG is morphing into to …
I knew about each of these events individually. But, when you see them all back to back, it’s pretty darn impressive (and I’m pretty darn proud of the organization and what it does right now).

Thanks Bill! Nancy Tubbs does a great job of running the Startup SIG.
My pleasure. To use the current (very silly) idiom, Nancy is a Rockstar!
Wow, thanks! You guys are too kind. BTW, the Google ads for this post are funny: one is for travel to Nancy (France, I assume) and the other is for Tubbs snowshoes (no relation).
But I digress — yes, SDForum is hot.
