I am an experienced public speaker, including numerous keynote addresses to conferences worldwide. I’m available to speak at conferences and other events on a wide range of subjects, including:
- “Open stuff” — taking open source ideas beyond software
- Technology for social enterprise, non-profits, and activists
- Open source/open data solutions for food sustainability
- Feminist activism to support women in open technology and culture
- DIY/maker/craft culture, especially in historical and/or feminist context
A number of my previous talks and presentations are available on this website.
