I just attended a keynote from Tim O’Reilly. It was amazing

He talked about hackers philosophy and why Emerging Tech conference is the place to be for them. Does that make me an hacker ? I hope so.

Hackers are people who try things that have never been done before
Hackers don’t know where is the business opportunity but do things because they love it, because it matters

they don’t know if it will be the next big thing, they just loved it.

to make his point he showed this picture : “Microsoft, 1978: Would you have invested?”

“Microsoft, 1978: Would you have invested?”

Don’t follow the ease path then you will be an hacker…

I will spend 4 days (3-6 march 2008) in San Diego for the O’Reilly Emerging Technology Conference 2008.

An amazing program is waiting for me: Mobile, Data vizualitation, Gaming, robotics, etc… with worldclass speakers.

4 days of mind opening, cool I just want through the attendees list I’m the only french. is that normal ? ok it’s far but 14 hours in plane is not so much regarding the program.

Hope next year, there will be more.

next post about the Tim O’Reilly keynote.
