Reaching Around

Yesterday Steve and I made a big push on starting to cold email our ever growing list of influential OSHW people. It actually went pretty smooth - and we've even gotten a few responses already. I do have to say we felt a little like stalkers though. Routing around the interweb trying to find which part of the world people are in, and how we get a hold of them. I have to say linkedin pages are like a goldmine, and twitter feeds with location rock! haha. Thankfully most of the people are pretty prominent/noisy and finding their info wasn't too hard. But there is definitely a lesson in all of this - make sure people can get your email address, and know where you are EASILY. You just never know why someone is trying to get a hold of you! Today is packing for SF, and heading to Toronto to meet up with Mike and crash on his couch for our super duper painfully early flight tomorrow AM.
