Software Association of Oregon adds familiar faces, Twitter
The Software Association of Oregon has recently announced a new Board of Directors. And I’m happy to report that those new Board members include a number of familiar faces from companies that have graced the pages of the Silicon Florist.
“Who?” you ask?
Well, hold your horses and I’ll tell you:
- Craig Barnes of Panels
- Ryan Buchanan of eROI
- Brian Jamison of OpenSourcery
- Brian Kissel of JanRain
- Scott Kveton of Vidoop, Bacon Geek, and bacn
- Hugh Mackworth of Smart Forest
Congratulations to the SAO and all of the new Board members. It’s nice to see some of the Web startups here in town getting a seat at the table.
Not only that, it’s a good direction for the SAO to be moving to ensure that they remain relevant with all of the various “tech community”s in town.
In other news, the SAO now has a Twitter presence. Coincidence? Yeah, probably. But interesting anyway.
Thanks for the shout, Rick!
I think there is one glaring omission on this list…Rick Tuzcryzxy from Slicon Florist!
Thx for the mention Rick – very cool of you. SAO is back on track and making some huge strides in ’09. It’s one of the only associations in Oregon that offers healthcare for 1-person companies and the SAO Board is more engaged in the software community than we’ve ever been before.
