Barcamp Boston 5 was a lot of fun.  I did two presentations, and people asked for notes.  I did my standard distributed agile presentation, here titled "6 ways to streamline your distributed agile development and make it easier to run your micro-multinational."  Nate Aune posted some notes for that here on Etherpad

The source material is here:

6 Keys to Succeeding with Distributed Agile Development

and the good stuff: 6 Things you can Skip to Save Time in a Software Project

These were the original slides: Do's and Don'ts for Agile Teams

I also did a new presentation on "SaaS Pricing Secrets: Make the Cheap Bastards Pay," and many people are still waiting for those notes  If you don't want to miss it, please subscribe to our RSS feed.  For a preview, you can see Nate's notes here on Etherpad.

Highlights for me were seeing Pito Salas talk about open source election systems, VC Brad Farkas explaining how not to get screwed by VC's, complete with an in-depth discussion of the possible utility of participating preferrred, learning how YUI is put together (we use it for the Agile Planner), and Steven Wolfram presenting Wolfram Alpha.

The unconference format really worked to bring together friends and ideas in a noncommercial setting.  Our local software association, the Mass Technology Leadership Council, working with super-angel Bill Warner, has adopted the unconference format for twice-annual executive level events, and packed the house with senior level executives.  We always chip in on a sponsorship.  I encourage everyone to sponsor a local unconference.

Should we add Etherpad as an Assembla tool?
