O’Reilly contributing editor James Turner has been busy conducting a series of interviews with ETech speakers as the conference draws nigh. In addition to great insight about the wide-ranging topics ETech will cover this year, there have been some amazing, spirited discussions in the comments section of each post. Check ‘em out:
- Creating Biological Legos with Reshma Shetty of Ginkgo BioWorks; her ETech presentation is Real Hackers Program DNA
- Science Commons Wants Data to Be Free with Creative Commons’ John Wilbanks; his ETech presentation is Uncommon Knowledge and Open Innovation: Building a Science Commons
- Inside Factory China with Andrew “bunnie” Huang of Chumby Industries; his ETech presentation is Out of China: Manufacturing the Chumby
- Why LCD is the Cool New Technology All Over Again with Mary Lou Jepson of Pixel Qi; her ETech presentation is Low-Cost, Low-Power Computing
We’re looking forward to hearing from these and many other incisive, forward-thinking speakers in person at the event. Like the Radar comments, the in-person conversation is bound to be diverse and enlightening.
In other ETech news, we’re offering a new incentive to attend the conference: a 40% “Friends & Family” discount–that translates into savings of over $500. We know times are tough and many people who want to and should be at ETech simply can’t afford it. We hope this offer will help! To take advantage of this discount, use et09ffd in the discount code field when you register.
