On AIR Tour Starting in Seattle on Tuesday
July 6th, 2007 by Ryan StewartThe bus for the on AIR tour is going to be rolling out of San Francisco Monday at 6:00 in the morning and we’re heading for Seattle to be at our event at Elysian Fields on Tuesday the 10th. We’ve been busy getting the bus ready and are planning on spending a good chunk of the weekend putting the finishing touches on it so that you’ll be able to log into the website and see what’s going on in the bus with the live video feed, the Tweets, or the Flickr photoset. All of the events are free, you just have to register.
We’ve also got a very fun crew in store for the bus. Robert Scoble is going to join us from San Francisco to Seattle. Dion Almaer from Ajaxian will be with us until Portland and Mark Piller from MidnightCoders is coming to Seattle and Vancouver with us to talk about .NET and Flex.In the evening during our Seattle event we’re going to be holding Ignite the Web, a series of 5 minute lightning talks with the web as a central theme. We’ve got some cool speakers lined up:
- Peter Armstrong - AIR on Rails
- Brian Eisenberg - The culture of lifecasting and how I started my company from an irc chat room
- Ted Patrick - Twisted Python and flash.net.Socket
- Dion Almaer - Google Gears
- Dan Florio - video.Maru
- Buzz Bruggeman - ActiveWords
- Ted Leung - Open Sorce Web
I’m still looking for more speakers, so if you’re interested, drop me an email, and make sure to register. The ignite sessions are going to be a great way to get in front of a lot of developers, so it’s great for startups. The tour is going to be a blast and we think that developers are going to learn a lot and have fun at these events, so if you haven’t register, do so now!

I dont see California on the tour schedule. Why skip CA?
I see LA - I guess I meant Bay Area…
