The first installment of the lecture series was excellent. Unfortunately, while we are experienced in organizing and recording conferences, this was the first time that we tried to record a presentation while also presenting it! Some unexpected problems arose. First, there was no one to change the videotape so it ran out after an our. Second, there was no one working the mixing board so when halfway through the presentation I demonstrate Pandora, I forget to turn it off therefore covering the rest of the lecture with awesome music.
Anyway, despite its flawed nature, I decided to put the podcast up on Ringlight.
The next lecture will be this Friday, April 7th. The same time and place, 6:30pm at the ACTLab (CMB Studio 4B). The topic will be interesting new developments in Online Communities. I hope to see you there!

- I have worked for the last ten years in open source and peer-to-peer software, both in community projects and tech startups. I founded a number of open source peer-to-peer software projects, including Freenet, Tristero, Alluvium, and Project Snakebite. I've also worked in peer-to-peer Interent video delivery at Swarmcast as Senior Engineer and then at BitTorrent as the Director of Product Management.
I currently have a startup here in Austin called Ringlight, where I make social file-sharing software. I also do some consulting in the areas of product design, product management, and engineering architecture.
