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.

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.

I think there is one glaring omission on this list…Rick Tuzcryzxy from Slicon Florist!
