Last week I was in Austin. One of the reasons I was there was to help design some slides for Ian Murdock’s keynote, “Innovate. Collaborate. Integrate”, which he gave today.
Above are the slides. They start off as a giant, black, haystack-shaped software monolith, then evolved outwards into “Open Source”, and finally, to the Sun logo. The sixth cartoon is just a humorous drawing projected behind the other panel members who were sharing the stage with Ian.
I’m told the screen was fifty feet wide, so I’m guesing they would’ve looked rather spiffy. These were all drawn in pencil on 3.5-inch card [Business-card size, obviously]. The actual drawings didn’t take that long to execute; though getting them to work cohesively and conceptually took a long time, a lot of collaboration was involved.
It was a cool gig; I hope to do more like it. Thanks to the very groovy Sarah Dornsife for making it happen. Rock on.
