David's Computer Stuff Journal

One of the things I missed when we lived in Innsbruck was interacting with other "computer people".  Back here in Italy, I have more friends and connections, and of course speak the language fluently.  I sent in a few proposals for talks at several conferences this year, and they were both accepted.  I'll be speaking at the Better Software conference in Florence in early May, about the economics of software and open source businesses.  Later on in May, I'll be at Whymca, a conference dedicated to mobile development, to give a presentation about Hecl.  That one's in Milan, which isn't as nice as Florence, but it should be a very interesting conference!  I'm looking forward to both of them a lot, as there are a series of interesting talks that I'm looking forward to seeing, and a number of sharp programmers who I haven't seen in a while who I am looking forward to catching up with.

I think I have some discount codes or something along those lines to hand out, for Better Software, so if you're interested, write me an email.
