For those of you who dont know, the Ignite series of events were created by Oreilly in thr Seattle area. So what is Ignite ?
If you had five minutes on stage what would you say? What if you only got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Around the world geeks have been putting together Ignite nights to show their answers.
These events have taken off and have developed a huge following and in cities like Boston and Philly, they have held several. So I was extremely happy when I got an email from Mike Subelsky that he was setting up an Ignite in Baltimore. I was even more honored when he asked if I would be one of the speakers !
Here are the details for the event
