Today’s Release Notes 2015 Speaker announcement is the culmination of several months of hard work and cooperation from many people. It’s only March, and already this show is well on its way to being a tremendous success. I can’t thank my co-organizer Charles Perry enough for spearheading this entire show from day one.

I had a blast talking with them about getting started in the indie software world. Daniel Mizieliński, who teaches this group and invited me to speak, has released the video of my talk already.
