Day Camp 4 Developers #2: Telecommuting
5 Mar 2011 at on-line

Great talk. I loved Ivo's breakdown of what those job ads are really saying.

This talk was full of exactly what I needed to hear: real advice for working remotely. I've got some great action items to take away from this talk.

Good talk, trying to provide the employer's view of telecommuting and where it could (or could not) work. Some overlap with Lorna's talk at the end, but I guess that's unavoidable.

Also think this was a very good talk. Only suggestion would be some kind of primer in the slides themselves to let the group know where in the talk Ivo was, or something high-level to tie everything together. I got the individual sections, and the high-level message in total, just felt the really good talk could be even better if the sequence and where Ivo was in the discussion was clear.

Great talk Lorna, it was very interesting and helpful, i will follow your advices.

Thanks,
Lizzette C.V.

Good summary from a personal point of view.

I like the quote that's now retweeted a lot: "The thing about telecommuting is that you have to be awesome with nobody watching." I guess the whole self-motivation would be a big issue for me ...

Great talk. It hit on many helpful topics, especially the part about work is what you do, not where you are. This sounds so simple, but is a elegant way to discuss the topic with others.

Great to see the perspective of a manager on telecommuting. I need to get my boss to see this talk.

Great talk on the manager's view, but also the mental aspect of 'the game'.
Indirect savings slide could also be visualized (a kind of graph?) which could make it more clear (cause -> benefit)

Very good session, lots of great information. Will probably take me awhile to absorb and process all of the information. Perhaps I can convince my boss to let me do some telecommuting now.
