WHY IGNITE ORLANDO
HISTORY OF IGNITE
Bre PettisBrady Forrest
Ignite started in Seattle at a bar in 2006.
"We knew it was going to be great, but we didn't know it
was going to be this great!"
- Brady Forrest
WHAT IS IGNITE
- 5 minutes- 20 slides- 15 seconds each slide auto advance
- Assigned a project- Split into small teams- Make Something
WHY 5 MINUTE PRESENTATIONS
It makes for an exciting time. The speaker does not know when the slide will switch or maybe that it has already switched. At the end of their presentation it will be very clear when it is time for them to come off the stage.
WHY A MAKE PROJECT
It will make you network with other people that you do not already know!
Not to mention it will make for greatevent photos!
HOW WILL THE COORDINATORS
- Access to alcohol- Free downtown parking- Keep the presentations moving- Keep the event simple
HOW WILL YOU IN THE AUDIENCE,
- Don’t heckle the presenters- Meet someone knew- Get in front of a camera- During the Make Project, do not team up with anyone you know!
HOW CAN YOU AS THE PRESENTER
If You Get Stuck, Make Something Up!
You will stumble, what is important is how you recover!
HELP ENSURE THE FUTURE SUCCESS
- Tease your friends and tell them that they really missed out- Tag everything as igniteorlando- Blog about it!- Nag me about the next event!

OAUTH IN 300 SECONDSTim Rosenblatt

Not convinced?
Addons
Why aren’t more people using OAuth?
• They’re too busy testing all the f-ing time?
• Giant Robots were smashing into Other Giant Robots, and landed on their house.
• Trying to duplicate DHH’s hairstyle takes a lot of work.

OPENID VS. FACEBOOK CONNECT VS. GOOGLE FRIEND CONNECT
Derek Gallo Eden
OpenID vs.Facebook Connect vs.
Friend Connect W h a t ’ s T h e D i f f e r e n c e ?
D e r e k G a l l oh t t p : / / n f i s t u d i o s . c o m
The Problem
People are getting sick of registering and re-declaring their friends on every site.
Developing "Social Applications" is too much work.
Identity Federation
The assembled identity, of a person's user information across multiple systems
Social Graph
The interconnections among people, groups and organizations in a social network
OpenID
OpenID is a free and easy way to use a single digital identity across the Internet.
Users are identified by a URL at a provider(ex: http://derekgallo.myopenid.com)
Users are directed to their provider to identify themselves and then returned back.
OpenID Pros
Open Source!
Multiple Providers (Yahoo, AOL, Google, ...)
No Central Control of User Data
Largest Pool of Users(kinda).
Possibilities limited by developer imagination
OpenID Cons
Requires application development to utilize (although it is a standard)
Only addresses Authentication although can be combined with other standards (Social Graph API, Portable Contacts, OpenID Attribute Exchange)
Most non-technical users are unaware of it or don’t understand it.
The Open Stack
Facebook Connect
Allows users to login to sites using their familiar Facebook credentials.
Allows sites to import users’ data from Facebook profile.
Sites can add items to users’ feed on Facebook
Facebook Pros
Already richly populated with data.
HUGE, self aware user base.
Familiar and usable for end-users
Quickly being adopted by many sites (thus adding to its familiarity)
Facebook Cons
Proprietary
Requires application development to utilize
New custom markup to learn
Limited to what Facebook implements.
Single provider of identity
Google FriendConnect
Javascript “Gadgets” that are placed on your site to add social functionality
Small but growing selection of gadgets becoming available from the OpenSocial community
Actually uses OpenID
FriendConnect Pros
Super Simple to setup
Register your site and paste some javascript code.
Select social features you want (friends, wall, etc.)
Growing gadget base
Easy for non-developers to implement
FriendConnect Cons
Interaction is sandboxed behind Google’s widget code
No way for developers to get access to the user’s data for incorporation in their site
So far appears to be very “widgety”
Which One Should I Use?
Examine your site’s needs and target audience.
Are your visitors more technical?
Will most of them be on Facebook?
Do you need access to the users’ data to act upon it?
Which One Should I Use?
OpenID if you:
Want to comply with emerging standards.
Want to support several sources of identity
Have technical resources to implement.
Which One Should I Use?
Facebook Connect if you:
Want simple brand familiarity for general end users.
Want to promote actions on your site to a huge user base.
Want to easily get data about a user from one protocol
Have technical resources to implement
Which One Should I Use?
Google Friend Connect if you:
Don’t need ready access to work with the user data.
Want to quickly add fun widgets to your site or blog.
Don’t have technical resources to implement.
Which One Should I Use?
You don’t have to pick!
You can use more than one.

Who Will Win?
Nobody will “win”
Facebook Connect will and is gaining quick adoption
The Open Stack may gain more support long term due to developers backing

FREELANCE IN THE NEW ECONOMYCory Collier
Freelance In The New Economy
By me.(with a lot of help from freelanceswitch.com)
Prioritize Clients
Not all clients are created equal. Because of this, you should not spend equal time and resources
for each of your clients
Evaluate Current Clients
Make a list of the pros / cons of your clients
Figure out who is awesome
Clients that are Stable Pay on time Pay well Have potential for new work
Figure out who sucks
Clients that : Don't pay Unstable Morally objectionable
Keep one main client
Of your awesome clients, pick one that's most stable, and try to make it at least a simple
majority of your work (50.1%).
Have an interesting client
Everyone likes something other than work. Find a client that's doing work that you'd like to do if you
weren't a freelancer. If you like comic books, get a comic book client.
Find New Clients
After you've figured out who the clients are that you want to keep, you'll probably need to figure out
where new work is coming in from.
Old Skool Networking
Facebook is cool, but the bar is better.
U Need Communication Skillz
When you're at the bar, shut-up. If someone is talking to you, they want to talk _to_ you. Don't
interrupt people.Be polite.
Be friendly.Be geniune.
Use CoLab
There's this awesome place to get work / opportunity.
Use it.
When it's time to work, do it
Don't even look at your XBox
bad
Don't Be Flaky
If the work starts to suck, don't flake out. Remember that it sucked, and don't get more
work like that. Don't ever bitch out.
Figure out what makes you productive, and get more of that in
your work life
“Hustle”
It's true.
Save Money.
If you're making good money, stock some
away. Eventually, money will dry
up.
Cash flow problems is the number 1 killer of
businesses
Don't wait for government
Politics aside, nobody is going to save you.
Don't be a victim of circumstance.
You're an entrepreneur
Don't burn out!!!
Find what inspires you, and get more of that.
Inspiration is work, what gasoline is to cars
Get more info (Google it)
Don't listen to me. I don't know what I'm doing.
