Pod- Stereo 44kHz 64Kbps (CBR) - 59:12 minutes (27.19 MB)
The SXSW folks are posting podcasts of the plentiful presentations including one featuring our fellow Canadians discussing the pros and cons of rolling a new media company in this culturally diverse, and geographically huge country.
Raincity Studios' Kris Krug moderates and is joined by:
- Steve Bocska Sr Dir of Gaming, Cambrian House
- Keith Clarkson Production Exec, Xenophile Media Inc
- Jennifer Ouano Pres, Elastic Entertainment
- Ron Thiele Pres, Xpan Interactive Ltd
(note, i seem to recall another panelist) ...
You are encouraged to subscribe to the SXSW podcast feed for all the presentations (but honestly the distribution scheme could use some help in general). In the interest of posterity, i am posting the unedited Blame Canada audio here so it doesn't get lost in the tubes or some forgotten silo - plus Kris' mom will want to hear his witty stand-up to kick off the spiel.
Blame Canada: 7 Ways We're Ahead in New Media
Cross-border markets, geographical challenges, and a highly ambitious and mobile workforce have forced Canadian interactive companies into thinking differently about how to conduct their business. The result is a nation of highly competitive companies with a keen awareness of global market potential, superior strategies for attracting and keeping talent, flexible and versatile outsourcing production arrangements, and a keen ability to harness the potential of broadband technologies.Photo: Blame Canada by Dvanliet on Flickr.

Product Development vs Service Provider: Raincity Studios, a Drupal service provider since 2004!
Blog
created on Mon, 2007-08-06 16:54
A question that has been growing in popularity since we started in early 2004. I recall Boris Mann and I debating this some time ago, before Raincity and Bryght even had offices...
Drupal product development vs product service provider. What is the best route to take for an entrepreneur?For myself the answer was pretty easy: To create a reputable open source service provider firm! It is my calling. Why? Simple! I am a business developer, a marketeer and somewhat of a visionary (and arrogant apparently). I'm not a very talented coder or designer, I know my basics but I am passionate about the business development and enabling clients and talent to work together.
