Where I’ve Been and What I’ve Done

Outside of this blog, I like to get out and be an active part of the technical community. Below is a timeline of my contributions. If you’re looking for information on something I’ve done recently, it should show up here. My activities include speaking at conferences, contributing to open source projects, online web casts, and much more. Keep scrolling for older events or project announcements.

Each entry should have a link for more information. If you need to know anything else, just contact me. If you’re looking for upcoming events, check out the main page of my blog for where I’ll be.
