Thank you to everyone who came out for the keynote this morning at Northern Voice, it was a real pleasure to reconnect with the Canadian tech scene and meet everyone.
It was a truly inspiring speech. Now get some sleep so we can go to brunch in the morning
I heard that your speech was great! Do you by chance have the audio or video link to it? I really would like to listen to it.
Thanks,
Cory
Here is the audio for this talk. Really good, Matt. Are you putting the slides up somewhere?

matt, thanks for coming! your keynote was great! I know lots of people were talking about the “taste of freedom” and what that means on several levels. and, the cool thing about Northern Voice is that it’s not a purely tech-scene conference, but is this weird hybrid tech/community/politics/education hive activity. lots of fun.
Matt,
Would you be kind enough to publish your slides? Scobble has linked to a MP3 file of your presentation, but you’re missing the visuals.
Thanks.
Chris
sorry… typo… “we” are missing the visuals…
I think either the slides or the audio in isolation would be a bad experience, I’ll put up a link if anyone has either a video or synchronized slides/audio.
if only there was a list of free online tools to mix audio with presentations
Hey Matt–
Was great meeting you this weekend (even though I was feeling like a ball of muck this morning)! Don’t be a stranger, the Vancouverites loved having you here.
A.
I found your keynote positively inspiring. You answered my questions before I had a chance to ask them which is the key to a great presentation. The conference in general opened my eyes to what open source does / will do for the web and your speech sealed the deal. Even as a beginner I feel much better equipped to give creating a try. Thank you! (May the universe bless you and everything you do for creating wordpress, a true contribution to the evolution of a wide open human consciousness.)
It really was an outstanding keynote. I’ve seen every Northern Voice keynote but one, and I think this was the best so far of a very good group.
Northern Voice isn’t really a tech conference. It’s got developers, users, educators, marketers, and even (as I learned) several civilians who are just curious about blogs. That presentation was accessible, informative, and inspiring for people from all backgrounds. I talked to one guy who signed up for a WordPress.com blog WHILE you were talking.
I really enjoyed your speech. You had the difficult task of waking me up, and you did a great job. It was amazing to meet you.

Matt, great job with the keynote. It was fun and informative. See you at SXSW.
D’Arcy, raincoaster, don’t forget art as a big part of the Northern Voice flavor. It really is an event for everyone interested in social media! I love it.
Here’s a liveblog transcript of Matt’s keynote.
True. I’ve got to post that Moose mosaic they put together: the Moosecamp logo from 1600 pictures of NV. It was really clear in Nancy White’s Drawing on Walls talk that there are a lot of artists out there. Heck, the woman whom I helped in the WordPress session is an independent designer.
Hey, YA’LL, do I detect a hint of a Southern drawl in that Northern voice?

Hey Matt, very cool to meet you and hang out in Vangroovy. I’m rethinking the $100-million question you asked as we dropped you off, and have a few better answers for it now.
Sidenote: any pointers to all those photos you were snapping while at the conference and the after parties?
Especially since I made you take that one of you, me, and Lloyd. Seriously, you do NOT want to know what my cameraphone would have made you look like.
My pictures are ready to go, I’m just waiting for certain features within WordPress to start working and creating intermediate sizes so I can upload them to my blog instead of Gallery.
Hey Matt! Was great to meet you- hope you got a good taste of vancouver, what a beautiful day
