Ignite Portland 6: Videos, Photos, Buzz, and Feedback

Now that you’ve had a few days to come down from the high of Ignite Portland 6, here’s a look back at some of the great videos and photos that were created during the event, so you can go back and relive your favorite IP6 moments.

First up, the videos. I created a playlist of all the videos that Blaze Streaming Media captured for us, straight from the direct feed. Here is the playlist of all the IP6 talk videos on YouTube (minus one - we’re trying to locate “10 Vegetables That Can Improve Your Sex Life” they’re all there now!). And here’s an embedded player, so you can watch right here:

Note that we’ll be making high quality downloads of the videos available soon - those files are a bit big, and we’re still working on getting them somewhere you can grab them. In the meantime, though, don’t miss the videos from our long time unofficial videographer, A.J. a.k.a. @linuxaid. :-)

Next, there were a ton of great photos taken at this Ignite, including many by our Chief Photographer Guy this time around, Aaron Hockley. You can see all of the photos tagged for Ignite Portland 6 on Flickr, or simply enjoy this slideshow:

Twitter has become the de facto backchannel for events like Ignite, and it was a blast following along with a Twitter Search query to see what people were saying about Ignite Portland 6 before, during, and after the event. We never broke into Twitter Trends (which is a first for us!), but there were a LOT of tweets flying with the #ip6 tag. Here’s a cool little widget you can use to scroll back through time to see what people were saying.

Finally, we usually do a separate post for this, but since I’m here, I’ll just ask. After every Ignite Portland, we want to hear from YOU about what we did well, and what could have gone smoother. The elimination of the ticket system was a big change this time, as was the live video stream and overflow at Back Stage next door. How did it work out? Leave us a comment on this post, and let us know what you thought of IP6, and what we could change to make IP7 even better.

We owe a HUGE thanks to all of you who spoke, volunteered, sponsored, attended, and otherwise made Ignite Portland kick ass for the sixth time. This is an amazing community event, and we’re having the time of our lives lighting up Portland with your burning ideas. :-)

  • I think eliminating the tickets worked out very well. The line getting in the door cleared up quickly, fewer people hoarded seats, and there was generally less of an air of desperation about getting in.
