Seattle Startup Weekend

However you want to describe it, the weekend has been a success. We met each other, got to know one another and did great work together. We have an awesome product underway and the start of an idea of how to carry it forward.

Specifically, the code basically works. You may not be able to see it yet publicly, but we’ll figure out how to change that for you and let you start playing with the skillbit ™ code that lets you mine and manage team skills.

Perhaps the most ironic aspect of our final moments here in the Adobe conference center is that the Patent Office requires an older version of Adobe Acrobat Reader to create the PDF file, when the rest of the world has moved on to a much more recent version. So, even though we have all the documentation ready to file, it’s not currently in a format that is readable by the Patent Office. That piece will simply have to wait until tomorrow to be submitted.

Meaning - while most Startup Weekend blogs are done when we all walk out the door, I plan to at least update these last remaining details before shifting over to the skillbit blog, which should also be up and running soon.

For now - off to Brauer’s to celebrate the successes we have achieved.  It’s important to recognize progress as much as celebrating achievements.

Stay cool out there and let us know what more you want to know.
