Nexus 2007 - Opening Address: Disruption, Change and Opportunity by Nathan Torkington
Nathan Torkington,
O’reilly Radar,
Perl Foundation Board
Nat Torkington comes from O’Reilly, the very company that coined the term “Web 2.0″. Since 1978, O’Reilly has been a catalyst of cutting-edge development, homing in on technology trends that really matter and in turn spurring their adoption. Nat is a long time pioneer in the technology space, having chaired the O’Reilly Open Source Convention and other O’Reilly conferences for over a decade. He co-wrote the best-selling Perl Cookbook and was one of the founding O’Reilly Radar bloggers. Few people are as plugged in as he is to the Web and the open source community.
Given Nat and O’Reilly’s long track record in spotting disruptive changes in the technological arena and being at the forefront of it all, we have asked Nat to give us a primer on how the technological landscape has changed in the past few years and how innovators can stay on top of it all.
