The Future of Gnomedex
Chris Pirillo, on why he’s leaving Gnomedex behind:
Without a dedicated team of rock star organizers and directors, tasks slip through the cracks â and you often wonât realize this until the event happens. When someoneâs attention is diverted to other projects, yours will not receive the attention it requires.
My boss likes to say that running a great event is like running a great restaurant - if you’ve done it right you make it look easy. Gnomedex always looked easy.
But beyond that, running events (I should know) is a metric buttload of work, and something the size, scale, and quality of Gnomedex is not a weekend project. Thank you Chris, and everyone else involved for so many years, for contributing to the Seattle community as long as you have been.
