I just got back from day 1 of the Open Source Days 2008 conference where I gave a speech entitled "Free Software in the Enterprise: from Use to Community Membership". At this point, I have slept 4 hours in the last 72 so this won't be a long post. I'll just say that the conference organizers have done a brilliant job and I'm glad to have helped fill the speakers roster.

I am also very very happy with the content of my speech (presentation deck uploaded here in this post), but I dread seeing the uploaded video; my delivery was very far below standard. Still, I am happy not to have clogged the conference with yet another generic "business open source" rehash; I think the ideas in mine are solid and quite new.

Again, a pat on the back to the organizers and conference staff. Embedded slideshow after the jump.
