Ignite Portland Talk Proposal

posted Feb 2, 2010 2:40 AM by Erik Chevalier
This weekend was the deadline for submitting talk proposals to Ignite Portland 8, a three time a year event where participants are given 5 minutes and 20 slides, rotating every 15 seconds,  to get across a point.  There's very little limitation on topics but most people talk about something they're passionate about.  In that vein I proposed a talk entitled "A Fabber In Every Household" in which I'll officially announce the concept of Objectifier to Portland, and hopefully bring in a great deal of interest and support for what we're trying to do here.  That is, of course, if this presentation is chosen to be one of the 20 out of 75 accepted.

How can you help?  Well, the group running the event had this to say on their blog:

"We’ve received 75 great talk ideas for Ignite Portland 8. Now we have to whittle it down to the 20 or so that will be appearing on stage. A daunting task. But you can help - have a look at the proposals, and leave a comment on the ones that you’d really like to see. Comments are private, insomuch as only the event organizers can see them (not the general Internet public), and we definitely weigh community feedback as we decide which talks to select."

So go check out the proposal, let me know if you see any typos, and let them know that you'd like to see me up on stage, and posted as video soon after for all to watch, talking about the future of 3D printing and the mission of putting a fabber in every home!
