Scott's Talks
Here is an incomplete list of over 100 talks and fireside chats that I have given at
various conferences over the last 15 years.
Most of the time I talk about
Git, GitHub, open source, starting startups, things of that nature.
Some of the slide decks can be found on Speakerdeck.
If you're interested in having me speak somewhere about any of these types of things
just go ahead and fire off a quick email.
