(building the) Black Rock Federal Credit Union

Video of Jesse Robbins @ Ignite Seattle (and updates, corrections, retractions, and denials)

The great folks at blip.tv posted the video from my talk at Ignite Seattle I and of course I have a few updates, corrections, retractions, and denials from the event.

1. I was, in fact, drunk when I wrote and presented this talk. I feel the need to state for the record that this event was held in a bar which didn’t have food and I’m I lightweight because I don’t drink that often. So… moving on…
2. I was wrong about Credit Union capitalization.
3. The Open Space Technology (OST) conference where we will write our charter and figure out how we will implement it is currently scheduled for April 7th, 2007. More details will be posted soon!
4. My talk mentions Jonah Burke’s presentation on the Darfur Wall project. Donate!
   
5. The OpenSourceCU folks aren’t creating technology yet, but their sponsor Trabien is a technology company serving credit unions.

Ignite Seattle II will be on Feburary 13th!

Brady Forrest and Bre Pettis just announced the second installment of Ignite Seattle. Most of the Black Rock Federal team will be there and you should too!

from the Ignite Seattle blog:
Bre and I have plotted with the owners of the CHAC to schedule another Ignite! We know that we need more space. We know that we need to keep the energy alive. We know that we need to top the last event. We know that we need to keep the bar nearby. We’re going to do all of those things and more…

The next Ignite is scheduled for… February 13th upstairs at the CHAC. The upstairs is huge and will be freshly renovated. It has high ceilings with lots of room for things to fly though the air.

Admission will be free. The format will be the same. The top-secret Make event will begin at 6:30 and go til 8:00. The Ask Later talks will begin at 8:30 and continue for three rounds with frequent breaks.

RSVP at Upcoming if you like!

I presented at the first Ignite Seattle, and am really looking forward to the next one!
