NOTES ON IMAGINED COMMUNITIES AND THE OPEN WEB

Posted on August 22, 2018 by John


Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to speak at WordCamp for Publishers in
Chicago.  WCPub is an industry-focused WordCamp, held in different locations
each year, which makes it a bit unique. 

The “challenge” issued by the organizers for 2018 was the topic of “Taking Back
the Open Web,” and they wrote that they wanted presentations “that touch on
whether an open web actually ever truly existed, what state it’s in now,
consequences of a closed web, and how publishers may protect and encourage an
open web.”  So I took them up on that challenge. 

It ended being a fairly complex talk, as I tried to link together Benedict
Anderson’s take on nationalism from Imagined Communities to a number of concepts
about what might make an “Open Web.”

48IN48 BOSTON, NEW ENGLAND GIVE CAMP

Posted on May 5, 2018 by John


I was excited to be invited to give a quick kickoff talk at 48in48 Boston last
week. 48in48 is a series of events (Atlanta, New York, London, Boston and
others) in which volunteers build 48 sites for 48 non-profits in 48 hours.

Engaging in Digital: Sites for Non-Profits from John Eckman



If you’re in the Boston area and missed out on 48in48 but like the concept, you
should also check out New England GiveCamp, which is coming up May 18-20, 2018,
at BlueMetal in Watertown.

The two events, though sharing a focus on bringing together smart digital
professionals (developers, designers, PMs, strategists) with non-profit
organizations in need of support, are otherwise very different.

DISTRIBUTED NOT DISCONNECTED

Posted on December 12, 2016 by John


Last week, I was happy to speak as part of a 2 day, online conference about
remote working: Remote Working Conference 2016.

My talk was titled “Distributed, not Disconnected: Employee Engagement for
Remote Work.” I described some of the steps we take at 10up to cultivate ongoing
employee engagement as a distributed company.

Here’s the video, embedded from YouTube with the start and end times set to just
my portion. Full videos on YouTube: Day One and Day Two.

STOP WRITING FOR THE WEB

Posted on February 25, 2016 by John


Great video from Creative Mornings San Francisco, with Erika Hall (@mulegirl),
co-founder of Mule Design and author of Just Enough Research. Why is it that
when we are writing for the web we revert to a context of literacy instead of
orality and conversation? Why do we get so afraid to “write for the web” when we
spend all day typing to each other?

WORDCAMP NYC – WORDPRESS AND THE ENTERPRISE DISCONNECT

Posted on October 31, 2015 by John


I’ll be speaking later today at WordCamp NYC on WordPress and the Enterprise
Disconnect.

It’s a revised version of the talk I gave at Prestige in Las Vegas at the
beginning of the year.

I’m eternally grateful to WordCamp NYC – it was the first WordCamp at which I
spoke, and was the WordCamp where I first met Jake Goldman. You could say
without WordCamp NY I might not have my current job. ;)
