Enterprise Geeks Podcast – TechEd Vienna: Craig and RIA Hacker Night

Thomas Jung — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:29:16 +0000

The morning after the RIA Hacker Night in TechEd Vienna, fellow Enterprise Geek Craig Cmehil and myself had the opportunity to sit down and discuss the highlights of the Hacker Night, TechEd in General, and the future of both events. We also spend a little time looking back at some of the less know activities of TechEds past (digging up some stories that were perhaps best left unmentioned).

Nanomonk #1 & #2

Craig Cmehil — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 17:17:05 +0000

Nanomonk was a RedMonk event hosted by Adobe and SAP. It took place back in July in London and was a simple one day event.

Small and intimate group of experts, customers, partners, analysts and consultants the day was a bit unplanned and certainly not rehearsed and the result was an amazing conversation around the world of the enterprise, RIA and community.

I recorded the entire day and you can check out the video replays here and here. Each video is about an hour (and some change) long but the content has gotten great feedback and I certainly think it’s worth the watch if you are interesting in the various technologies between Adobe and SAP.

RedMonk has said they plan to make these Nanomonk events a regular (3 to 4 times a year) so very much looking forward to that!
