Weekly tweet digest for 2010-12-05
- hello, monday! #
- arranging travel for speaking @fowa in february: http://futureofwebapps.com/las-vegas-2011/schedule/ #

- Thanks, Girltalk. Now I want to eat an ice cream sandwich. #
- #PDX11 It's alive! http://www.chesnok.com/daily/2010/12/02/pdx11-its-alive/ #
- Heading to City Hall for the software summit #pdx11 (psst: http://pdx11.org) #
- Look! @MayorSamAdams on the floor #pdx11 #
- So, @MayorSamAdams says that he picked us for our good taste in fashion AND our strength and future promise as an industry #pdx11 #
- This is the fourth gathering about economic development strategy for the PDC plan #pdx11 #
- Scott Adams from the PDC talking about how they have been trying to figure out the software industry #pdx11 #
- And now, Gerald Baugh is up talking about the key people who helped research the industry here. #pdx11 #
- Pdx11 crowd at city hall http://flic.kr/p/8XVqnz #
- PDX economic opportunity areas: Athletic/Outdoor, clean tech, advanced manufacturing and SOFTWARE! #pdx11 #
- Why target software? Direct & Indirect opportunity – $9 billion dollar effect on the Oregon economy #pdx11 #
- Average wage in software sector is $87k, almost double the wages of other industries in Oregon #pdx11 #
- Another goal: design a public/private partnership to support software industry #pdx11 (heck yeah!) #
- PDC & the City were impressed by participation at CEO, developer and hobbyist #pdx11 #
- Had a fireside chat with the Mayor with 35 companies, but it wasn't wide enough. So they made a survey & got >800 respondants #pdx11 #
- Out of those conversations, created the Portland Seed Fund http://portlandseedfund.com/ and Portland10 http://www.portlandten.com/ #pdx11 #
- The City of Portland put together open source initiatives and hosted Lunch 2.0 #pdx11 #
- Since December $68 million in risk capital that has come in the last year! (and now we're having those guys stand up) #pdx11 #
- Some PDX CEOs have turned down capital from other investors that would have had them move to other cities #pdx11 #
- "Ours is not a normal industry. I truly believe this in my heart." Thompson Morrison #
- Three key elements in our software industry: community sourcing, agile iteration, open innovation #pdx11 #
- re: agile iteration – why yes we do have @WardCunningham in the audience! 🙂 #pdx11 #
- use of #pdxstrat tag is full of lulz /cc @BajillionHits #
- Haha. Quoting @bradfordcross — "There is No Such Thing as the NExt Silicon Valley." #pdx11 #
- Suggestion: Let's make the next town hall an @IgniteGov! #pdx11 #
- What are the most important values in PDX? Quality of Life, Community. #pdx11 #
- What is the least important value in this survey? Financial Success. (by an embarrassing margin) #pdx11 #
- Fort Hall is the "fork in the road" between the California and Oregon Trail. #historylesson #themoreyouknow #
- "Cultivating enduring wealth." That's the takeaway. I guess. #
- So, how do we turn who we are into competitive advantage? Community is our competitive advantage. #pdx11 #
- Community is not just for social wealth. It's also for our economic wealth. #pdx11 #
- Community == agility (not what people would assume…) – enables it through fast connections between people, mashups #pdx11 #
- Community provides support to help us make the right decisions as we build our businesses. #pdx11 #
- Why aren't we as connected as folks in the valley? We're cultivators – stick with the same companies and don't move around as much #pdx11 #
- Do you want to build the knowledge network? Sign up! http://lists.pdx11.org/mailman/listinfo/pdx11-knowledge #pdx11 #
- Do you want to build the financing group? http://lists.pdx11.org/mailman/listinfo/pdx11-financing #pdx11 #
- Do you want to build the mentoring group? http://lists.pdx11.org/mailman/listinfo/pdx11-mentoring #pdx11 #
- Question: Financial success is a low priority, and we're complaining about lack of investment? Why do we complain? #pdx11 #
- Answer: @MayorSamAdams everyone wants to be financially secure. We're just foremost motivated by how the work we do makes us feel #pdx11 #
- Observation re VC: You need to have some big wins. 6 years since last company went to public. Bring people in from outside #pdx11 #
- Observation from @brianfinger: hiring from outside PDX because they want to come here. Need to market PDX tech community better #pdx11 #
- Sez @MayorSamAdams: part of the problem – we lack a coherent strategy. #pdx11 #
- Can we have more money? $.5million is chump change. @MayorSamAdams: And I got that without even having a strategy for it! #pdx11 #hellyeah #
- Excellent classroom control by @MayorSamAdams this evening 😉 #
- How do we sustain quality of life over time? Hitting $1million – of course biz should. But then what? #pdx11 #
- Stuart Cohen (of CSI) /cc @mherrick66 supplier to customer mkt. Oregonians don't consume enough products to enable rapid innovation. #pdx11 #
- Question: Where in this effort are we going to see a plan to achieve financial success? #pdx11 #
- We haven't created a cycle of successful M&A events. Creates more capital and more experienced management teams. #pdx11 #
- yay @technojosh is speaking up! We have lots of companies that don't publicize their exits. #pdx11 #
- Big question: How do we define success and how do we measure it? #pdx11 #
- Finding space for user groups is currently an issue. Can we use PDC's background in real estate to help with that? #pdx11 #
- Big thing that Gresham did: Waiving fees if you move from a home-based biz to downtown. @MayorSamAdams: YES! We do that. #pdx11 #
- Next steps! We need structure. #pdx11 #
- Scheduled a PROGRESS REPORT event February 2011 #pdx11 (dude. seriously awesome.) #
- Haha. They're passing buckets around to put your card into buckets to get involved in these groups #pdx11 #
- Conveners: they're here to ask people to come to a meeting. #pdx11 #
- Introducing Warren Harrison from PSU: working on the knowledge network to solidify our informal and formal groups #pdx11 #
- Matt Nees from SAO: working on the mentoring network can we cross breed .NET and open source audiences. (lulz) #pdx11 #
- PDC guy (missed his name) is leading up the financing group. Help companies find the capital they need #pdx11 #
- Thanks for bearing with my tweets! All done. 🙂 #
