** Keynote: Josh Simmons
** Open Source Program Manager for Google
------------------------------------------------------------
I am so excited to announce Josh Simmons as an OpenWest Keynote.
Josh Simmons is a community organizer and web developer with a penchant for armchair philosophy. He currently serves as a board member for the Open Source Initiative, is a program manager at Google's Open Source Programs Office, and is community manager emeritus for O'Reilly's OSCON. Josh has worked in freelance, agency, startup, and companies large and small accumulating a lot of experience... which might be related to why his most popular talk is titled "Fail Well."
