Ignite Corvallis was standing room only

Posted on November 15, 2008 by John Sechrest

Wow! The High Tech After Hours and the Ignite Corvallis went very well. The Ignite brought in more people than the room could hold. We will need to think about different venues for the next time we do it. We did 13 presentations and some of them were just hysterical. I am still chuckling about the Re-newable Corvallis talk by Ravi. It was generated a lot of conversation.

We will do a debrief next week. If you have comments good or bad, now is the time to post them.

Its Official! Corvallis is Cooler than Eugene! :P

I wanted to find a cool visual of the tweets for Ignite Corvallis and I stumbled across a tool that is the equivalent of a twitter DeathMatch!

Check out Twitter Spectrum and put in any 2 terms to compare.

I put in Corvallis vs. Eugene and look at all of the Corvallis related tweets! Corvallis has tags like Tech, Ignite, BeaverBarCamp, SAO Corvallis, and SpeakerLunch. Where as Eugene has tags like sitting, watching, and reading. Sounds boring to me! And the cloud on the left looks bigger doesn't it?

Alright, so maybe this doesn't prove anything, but its fun anyway.

Our First Ignite Corvallis Was Great!

Ignite Timer

Posted on by Jason P

From one of our speakers, Rory Plaire:

If you or anyone you know is interested, I wrote a Windows Mobile 5 timer which buzzes every 15 seconds starting from 5 minutes and counting down. It really helps with training to pace yourself for the Ignite! presentation

I put it up on Codeplex...
