Sixteen Years | MetaTalk – Wow, for the MeFites this is pretty huge. @mathowie is stepping down! I remember how stoked I was to get a personal email from him four years ago when his family was visiting Sydney, asking for advice on travelling from the airport and suggesting we meet up. It turned into a proper event with a bunch of other Sydney MeFites, and qwip even got a photo. Thanks for all the memories, Matt, and best of luck on your new adventure!

Facebook reaching out to users who might be suicidal – What a great idea!
Sydney Technology Leaders – Meetup – I attended this new-ish meetup group last night at UTS and it was fantastic. There were several speakers talking about challenges with scaling – scaling teams, scaling Agile, and scaling infrastructure. I will definitely be attending again the future. Highly recommended if you’re a local tech leader and want to meet and share ideas with your peers.
Tickets are now available for the next iteration of Ignite Sydney. I’m going to be presenting an updated and reworked version of my “Granny was a Hacker” talk, modified to fit the Ignite format: five minutes with slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds. You should come along!
