The last wave of tickets is available at a discount to women 2.0 readers, use the code &#8220;women20&#8243; for an &#8220;IPO ticket&#8221; at <a href="http://www.eventbrite.com/event/543006146/women20">here</a>. If those tickets are gone, go to the secret site set up to clear tickets only for Women 2.0 members <a href="http://www.duck9.com/1.htm">here</a>. The location is a secret, but if you’re registered, you&#8217;ll get notification before the event. This invitation has all the details <a href="http://www.eventbrite.com/event/543006146/women20">here</a>.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for more entrepreneur-flavored events at SXSW, there&#8217;s a great schedule of events between March 11-17 <a href="http://bit.ly/buster12">here</a>. They cost the general public $89 ($189 for VIP) but use the discount codes &#8220;22742261&#8243; / &#8220;buster13&#8243; to get the list for free.</p>

David wrote the first layman’s description of MP3 in early 1997 and graduated in 2000 with a BS in Computer Science from Stanford, where he was a President Scholar and a finalist in the ACM International Programming Competition. David started the company that became PBwiki (now <a href="http://www.pbworks.com/">PBworks</a>) in 2003, along the way creating SingleStat.us and IMSmarter. David is a Founding Director of <a href="http://hackerdojo.pbworks.com/">Hacker Dojo</a>, a non-profit 501(c)(6) community center aimed at providing programmers in the SF Bay Area a place to collaborate and innovate. This largely came out of David’s efforts as the co-founder of <a href="http://superhappydevhouse.org/">SuperHappyDevHouse</a>, a monthly hackathon whose 33+ Saturday gatherings of 100-400 programmers have produced many projects, companies, and friendships. David was also the founder of the California Community Colocation Project, which provided free colocation services to over 130 non-profits and after merging with the Online Policy Group successfully sued Diebold Election Systems in Federal Court (see OPG v. Diebold). Most recently, David became a mentor at <a href="http://www.ventures.io/">i/o Ventures</a>.</p>

After graduating she headed out to Silicon Valley, where she first worked for Synopsys as an R&#038;D Engineer, and started working towards a Masters in CS at Stanford. She left her Masters to join <a href="http://www.mint.com/">Mint.com</a> in 2006 as the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39124530@N00/348713637">third employee</a>, and has remained the only female engineer there. She has left Mint to launch her own stealth startup. Aside from being a coder, entrepreneur, speaker, and mentor to junior engineers, Poornima blogs on <a href="http://www.femgineer.com/">Femgineer.com</a>, is an avid traveler, foodie, and a competitive Bikram yogini.</p>

Betty concurrently serves as CFO of several high tech companies, and previously was CFO at Leapfrog, Nominum, MGA Entertainment, and senior financial management positions at Fortune 500 companies. Betty holds an MBA from the University of Southern California and a BA from Pomona College.</p>

Dave has been geeking out in Silicon Valley for over twenty years, and has worked with companies such as PayPal, Mint, Founders Fund, Facebook, LinkedIn, SlideShare, Twilio, Simply Hired, O&#8217;Reilly Media, Intel, and Microsoft. Many years ago he used to do real work like coding or marketing or running conferences, but these days he mostly does useless stuff like sending lots of email, blogging, and hanging out on Facebook and Twitter.

David attended Washington University in St. Louis, where he earned a degree in anthropology. While at Washington University, David created one of the first DNS management companies, EveryDNS, to fill his need for web-based DNS management software. EveryDNS grew from a personal project to a service with nearly 100,000 users world-wide within a few years. David was also in part responsible for the creation and operations of the California Community Colocation Project, which provided free colocation services to over 130 non-profits and after merging with the Online Policy Group successfully sued Diebold Election Systems in Federal Court (see OPG v.

<p>Green:Net is where green and IT meet. Alternative energy gets lots of attention at most green conferences.

Don&#8217;t miss attending the green conference for the Internet industry, it&#8217;s where the clever people of the Valley will make a positive difference.</p>
