WoTech: Local Tech Blog Roundup!


Thanks to everyone who attended Amy Tykeson's talk at Bend Broadband yesterday! We had about 40 people show up, and I'll add the new people to the mailing list.

Special thanks to Amy for her entertaining and informative talk about corporate culture, building a successful local business, finding work/life balance and her history as a woman working in a male-dominated field. I hope she'll consider doing an Ignite Bend presentation some day, maybe showing us all how to program our remotes.

Here's a quick list of some of the local tech groups I mentioned, please feel free to send me more:

  1. COWPU- Central Oregon Web Professionals User (group)
  2. BendTech - informative blog, and great Meetup Group
  3. COISUG - Central Oregon's Information Systems User Group
  4. IgniteBend - Join us this Thusday Night at the Tower! RSVP required.

  6. SAO - Software Association of Oregon, headquartered in Portland
  7. TACOTA - Tech Alliance: Central Oregon's Tech Association, our site is coming soon!
