Aussie Devcon 2008, Why I Love Community

May 30th, 2008 · · Devcons, General

Here is what I love about Devcons:

You find awesome people.

 

The SV sessions have been fantastic. Like previously mentioned, they put a huge amount of diligent work into preparation and then delivery. Fantastic.

 

However, as good (different) has been the “business practices” focussed talks. We’re a little way into Kim Davies‘ talk, Michael Summons having gone previously.

I tells you, this is amazing stuff. Michael just blew me away. The guy has such a clear grasp on the Full Spectrum of Business. How to get stuff done .. really done. Not hobby-ist, and not Throw-A-Million-Dollars-At-It either.

 

Michael talked about discipline, putting into place good practices, adjusting those practices when they need it, when they might not work. Being _proactive_ not _reactive_.

It’s stuff you’ve probably heard before. For me, it was an amazing half hour.

 

And Kim is walking in the same steps :) .. but honing in on the Marketing. Very cool. I’ll have more later.
