Ignite CLS West Speakers Announced . . . . . . . More Sponsors Still Needed

I thought it was about time to give an update on our plans for Ignite CLS West. We have confirmed speakers for 8 of the 12 available speaker slots. We plan to have the remaining 4 speakers confirmed within the next week or so. Follow @IgniteCLSWest on Twitter to get real time updates. There is also an Ignite Speakers Twitter List associated with this Ignite. The confirmed speakers so far are:

Ann Winblad - SDForum

Carlos Hernandez - Social Media for the Uncomfortable

Dave Nielsen - CloudCamp

Grant Bowman - Ubuntu California

Kaliya Hamlin - Internet Identity Workshop

Leslie Hawthorn - Google Summer of Code

Peter Kellner - Silicon Valley Code Camp

Sudha Jamthe - PayPal X Developer Network

Although attendance at this Ignite will be limited to CLS West Attendees and their guests, we do plan to live stream the talks on the web. Plus, we are hoping to professionally record all the Ignite Talks for later viewing online. However, we could really use some additional financial sponsorship help to make that happen. Sponsorship opportunities are still available at the Gold ($1000) and Silver ($500) levels. If you would like to be a CLS West Sponsor or can provide potential sponsorship contacts at local companies, please contact us. 

Last but not least, we have official Ignite CLS West Schwag available for purchase online. I am not talking about low-grade marijuana (not that there is anything wrong with that ;-) ). Check out our Ignite CLS West Cafe Press Store.

That's All Folks, Van
