# Silicon Florist 04: OEN Pubtalk, Silicon Forest Forum, Air Sharing, Portland Lunch 2.0

This week on the Silicon Forest podcast, I’ve got the usual review and preview of all that’s happening in the Silicon Forest Web startup scene. With an added bonus. I took a few minutes to chat with Dave Howell, CEO of Vancouver-based [Avatron](http://avatron.com "Avatron"), the company behind the [uberpopular iPhone app Air Sharing](http://siliconflorist.com/2008/09/15/air-sharing-vancouver-iphone-app-gets-more-than-700000-downloads-in-one-week/ "Air Sharing iPhone app").
