Adventures In SoftwareLand : Shareware

Back from the shadows again!...

Michael Lehman — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 15:44:00 GMT

Unlike the plan which I had in place, I've been silent for the past two months going heads-down on a new project. It's been a major push and I'm happy to say it's nearing an end as it will be unveiled next Monday, November 5th, at the Microsoft TechEd : Developers conference in Barcelona, Spain.

Before that happens, I'm at the 7th annual European Shareware Conference, being held in Cologne, Germany, where I'll be speaking on a panel discussion Saturday morning at 9:00 AM and giving an talk about independent innovation on Sunday morning at 10:00 AM.

If you are a MicroISV @ ESWC, I'd love to spend 5-10 minutes with you and highlight you and your products. Ask any of the conference organizers or use the email link and we'll plan a time for an interview.

Meanwhile... stay tuned for a major announcement on Monday!

MicroISVs on the "Seat of Heat"... First part of SIC 2007 videos now live on Channel9

At the Software Industry Conference 2007, I got more than a dozen MicroISVs to sit in the "seat of heat" and do a brief video interview.

The first part of these interviews is now live on Channel9! Enjoy.

Software Industry Conference 2007 - lots of new faces

Michael Lehman — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 19:43:00 GMT

The Software Industry Conference 2007 just opened this morning here in Denver, Colorado and, according to the organizers, 80% of the attendees are new attendees (as opposed to people who attended this event in previous years).

I've been saying on this blog, and around Microsoft, for the past few years that the number of MicroISVs is growing and this is a great indicator of just that phenomenon.

I'm giving two talks, one tomorrow about podcasting and one on Saturday about Independent Innovation.

I also still have openings in my schedule for podcast interviews if you're here at SIC and want to get on Channel9. Just click on the email link and drop me a line or find me around the show.

UPDATE: Exhibit night is FRIDAY.

Bob Walsh and I are happy to announce two opportunities for you to be interviewed at SIC (www.sic.org) and get featured on our Microsoft Channel9 show (http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/The_MicroISV_Show).

We will be doing audio podcasts throughout SIC and you can request a time slot by emailing me.

In addition, on ~~Thursday’s~~ Friday's Exhibit Night, we will have our video camera set up in the Microsoft booth and you can come be interviewed on-camera (5 minute slots) for a special SIC-edition video MicroISV show episode which should appear on Channel9 the week following SIC. You do not have to pre-schedule Exhibit Night interviews.

Hope to see you there!

MicroISVs/Shareware at TechEd Europe

Michael Lehman — Wed, 08 Nov 2006 15:35:00 GMT

Now that the European Shareware Conference (www.microisv.eu) is in the books, I've travelled to Barcelona for TechEd Europe Developers.

I'll be mostly talking to attendees at the Shareware @ TechEd stand (http://www.mseventseurope.com/Teched/06/Pre/static/Developers/exhshareware.aspx )

If I can persuade my laptop to cooperate, I'll be giving Project Glidepath demos. In any case, I'd love to meet with any MicroISVs who are attending TechEd.

Drop by the stand and I'd be happy to talk to you. If I'm not there, drop me an email (click on the link in the upper left hand corner) and we'll figure out how to meet up.
