now he speaks to Southwest Florida!
Come see and meet Roblimo, as well as members of the Southwest Florida Linux Users Group, at Hope United Methodist Church in Cape Coral Saturday April 13th at 12pm (noon) until 2pm. Hope United Methodist Church is located at 2002 Chiquita Blvd in Cape Coral.
Roblimo says that we could easily call his speaking topic, "How to make money on the Internet". This is one of his many areas of expertise, and one which he can provide some great in-site for us. He'll be happy to take your questions too. Roblimo tells us this is going to be a fun, interactive discussion!
He is one of the creators of modern interactive journalism, invented a self-serve online ad sales system that eliminates virtually all sales costs, and has served as an Internet business consultant to several Fortune 500 companies and many Internet entrepreneurs.
Robin 'Roblimo' Miller is editor in chief of the Open Source Developers Network (OSDN), one of the world's leading online tech news publishers. He has written extensively about computers and the Internet for Slashdot, Linux.com, NewsForge, Time New Media, Online Journalism Review, Web Hosting Magazine, The Washington Post, The Baltimore Sun, and many other Web sites, newspapers, and magazines.
Projects:
Miller's latest project is the book "Habits of Highly Successful Online Companies: Rules for Building Profits" for Financial Times Press/Prentice Hall , tentatively scheduled for release in September, 2002.
He was one of the earliest "professional" online writers, starting back in the early days of services like CompuServe and GEnie, and has also written well over 1000 articles for assorted (offline) newspapers, magazines, and industry newsletters
Background:
Before becoming a full-time writer and editor, Miller operated a small limousine service in the Baltimore/Washington area and wrote freelance part-time. "I never intended to make writing and editing a full-time profession," he says. "It was purely accidental. There are many more talented editors and writers out of work who could easily replace me. I still keep one limousine in my driveway just in case my bosses ever figure this out."
Robin was born in 1952. He spent 11 years studying classroom instruction methods in California and Arizona, then earned an ASEE from the U.S. Army Intelligence School at Ft. Devens. He is also a "perennial student" at the university that produced writer Mark Twain, philosopher Eric Hoffer, and many other notable 19th and 20th century figures.
