Thoughts about greater visibility with tech in Cincinnati
Raw
tech_cincy.txt
(The following is a result of a chat that Chris Moore and I had
at the last Gaslight Coffee day)
Here in our lovely city of Cincinnati we have many cool things happening in the tech scene.
We have
- lively user groups
- special events - like NodeCopter coming up http://cinycopter.com
- Hardware hacking projects like http://opengarages.org/ at Hive13
- Ignite
- Maker Faire http://cincinnatimakerfaire.com/
- Open Data initiatives
- Startups
- More I am sure I don't know about
The point is that it would be good to spread the word about cool things
that we are already doing. And not only in the tech community but outside
as well. From my background in the arts, I think we can look to them to see
some of the ways to get the word out.
One example is how on WGUC, they have a weekly Arts "spotlight" http://www.wguc.org/spotlight/
where they do a short interview and highlight what is going on.
I think this broad visibilty on the tech community is one of the
key components that is missing. I am not sure what the solution
is but I would be interested in getting together sometime
and brainstorming.

I am also very interested in this as well. Seems like I had a lot of this hope pinned on the NYTM clone we were working on. Would love to push further with some type of non-profit perhaps?
