Wow, I received an email to RSVP to ECSS, the EclipseCon Strategy Summit.
The program consists of an analyst report, a pound of legal advice, two servings of feedback on open source strategies and a final panel.
The content looks good, there’s plenty of good and experienced speakers, it’s all well scheduled and planned.
Though, I tend to believe this kind of day would be better served by an unconference style.
I think it would really be thrilling for executives to come down that day, listen to an analyst keynote to get in the mood, and then grab a whiteboard and make their agenda for the day.
I believe that my CEO would be absolutely thrilled to participate to a meeting like that : get to know more people, more projects, coordinate efforts, and maybe even discuss open source strategy.
Of course you should take all this with a grain of salt. Last time I checked there was still written “Software Engineer” on my name tag.
So - tell your CEO to show.
He’s be happy.
We’d be happy.
Thanks
Ralph
But Ralph, my CEO has a big attention deficit disorder.
So sitting down all day to listen to stuff he has access to through analysts reports, our lawyers, and a couple of lunches with innovators is not good enough, in my humble opinion, to retain his attention.
