Blake Bisset and Robert Barron, IBM
Format: Unconference Session
If you were disappointed to not see a particular topic on the discussion track agenda then this is the session for you.
Come to this session—which will be run using the Open Spaces Technology unconference format—and propose your topic. The four topic areas with the most interest will be selected for discussion in breakout groups.
Blake Bisset got his first legal tech job at 16, long enough ago that he’s entitled to make shakeyfists while shouting, "Get off my LAN!" He’s contributed to 4 major tech books, 4 cool tech start-ups, and 4 “big tech” companies (not at all in that order), but has been a regular member on the program committee for only 3 major tech conferences, which–now that he’s written it down–suddenly bothers him enough that he might actually be a mild arithmomaniac, or perhaps just an undiagnosed sparkling vampire.
Robert Barron is an SRE Architect in the office of the IBM CIO where he enjoys helping others solve problems even more than he enjoys solving them himself. Robert has over 20 years of experience in all kinds of things ending in *-ops and *-ility and is still happiest when learning something new. He lives in Israel with his wonderful wife and two children. His hobbies include history, astronomy and space exploration, and bird photography.
