Almost a month ago, an eternity on the Intertubes, I attended IndieConf, the conference for independent web professionals, held in Raleigh, NC, organized by my friend Michael Kimsal, web developer, publisher, and "web radio dude" based in NC. He pulled together a cast of experienced individuals, credible speakers from a broad range of disciplines, to speak on a variety of topics of vital importance to the independent/freelance software developer.
He provided a great experience to everyone, speakers and attendees alike, from the speakers' dinner on Friday evening, to the conference sessions, to the afterparty Saturday evening. Wanting to give everyone a great experience, providing value through practical sessions - that's what makes him an OOTNO, One Of The Nice Ones*.
Whether you're already an independent web provider, or thinking about embracing the freelance "workstyle", don't be a NOOTNO (Not One Of The Nice Ones), and skip IndieConf next year. Check it out. Make some connections. Learn some stuff. Have some fun.
Guess its about time I filled out the conference survey form, and give him some happy feedback data...
*From an article in a 70's science fiction magazine, the name of which escapes me, else I'd give full credit to the author.
