Hi

Please share with your group members if you think they might be interested
in attending.

Thanks,

Marsee



Ignite Sebastopol is happening Wednesday, June 10 at the Hopmonk Tavern,
from 6:00-10:00 pm. What *is* Ignite? It's a free, fast-paced,
high-energy evening of a dozen or so "speed presentations" given by
people like you to their hometown crowd. Ignite presenters get 5 minutes
to talk about their passion, using 20 slides that auto-advance every 15
seconds, whether they're ready or not. It has a geek culture bent,
though folks have talked about everything from "The Best Way to Buy a
Car" to "Hacking Chocolate" to "19th Century Pneumatic Tubes" to "Cyborg
Anthropology."

Ignite was started by O'Reilly Media's Brady Forrest and Bre Pettis, in
Seattle in 2006. Since then, it's spread around the world, to cities
including Helsinki, Paris, Budapest, New York, Portand, Pheonix, and
Boston. It's about time we had one in O'Reilly's home town.

If you're ready for your 5 minutes of fame, submit your idea for a talk
at http://bit.ly/My9cW. Interested, but want to know more before you
take the plunge? Check out the videos of some favorite Ignite talks at

Hope to see you there. Sign up at http://igniteseb.eventbrite.com. It
may fill up, so do sign up in advance if you're coming.
