In order to get to Columbia by 9:00, we've got to leave here (Charleston) uncomfortably early. Whining about getting up early isn't the overall point of this post, however.
John Diamond will be speaking about open source gaming. He is the CEO and lead developer of COR Entertainment LLC, a company that was initially formed in 2006 that developed the popular open source game Alien Arena.
Bryan Johns will be speaking about open source solutions in telecommunications. Bryan spent nearly 20 years in and around the businesses of technology and telecommunications. He has started, grown and sold a handful of web application development and VoIP technology businesses and in 2004, found a home in the disruptive world of open standards and open source telecommunications platforms.
Nathan Marz will be speaking about big data. Nathan Marz is the lead engineer at BackType where he builds analytics tools for social media. BackType collects many terabytes of data from Twitter, Facebook, social news sites, millions of blogs, and provides analytics on this data in real-time.
All three of these topics interest me to some degree, big data and gaming more so than telecommunications. Over the next few days I will ponder some questions to ask them.
