Speaking about Fire Eagle

Last month I spoke about Yahoo! Fire Eagle at the Emerging Communications Conference. Lee did a great job putting together the conference, and had everything recorded. I feel i did an ok job explaining Fire Eagle, but perhaps i had too much coffee to make up for being on the tail end of a dozen straight days of conferences.

So if you’re interested in Fire Eagle as it relates to the mobile and telephony world, this is a good talk. The slides are online at slideshare.net.

It’s humbling to see a video of yourself speaking. Public speaking is really hard. I’ve been trying to work on my presentations, and i’m getting better over time.

Next week i’m going to be speaking at xtech in dublin in a longer talk about Fire Eagle. I’ll get in to the actual api’s and bit about building apps with Fire Eagle. In July i’ll be co-speaking with Kellan about using jabber for web services in Beyond REST? Building Data Services with XMPP PubSub at OSCON 2008. In between i’ll be at Google IO and Rails Conf / Caboose Conf, but thankfully i won’t be speaking, unless i get inspired to do a lightning talk.
