Interesting talk, not only if you are a freelancer but also when you are on a small project as a developer where there is no project manager.

I would like to see more slides, somehow looking at the same slide for minutes is causing me to loose focus.

Still a great talk which i would recomment to my coworkers/ freelancing friends !

As a personal that has to hire freelancers, it was very interesting to hear your perspective & also gives me some new questions that I need to ask when considering someone.

Unfortunately I missed the start :( but had a lot more detail on Agile (something that I haven't used before) than I'd expected. A couple of points that I think I can use now though: focusing on "too much to do" rather than "not enough time"; estimates are always wrong (and the idea of using "yesterday's weather" for forward planning); and the key points for keeping stand-up meetings on track. Looking forward to viewing the whole presentation from the start when the videos are available.

Nice talk about managing projects from a psychological point of view. Focused at open source projects but usable for commercial projects also.

After seeing the pyramid i was scared this would get to be a dry theoretical talk but the opposite was true !

Good to see acknowledgement of bacon. Web2Project is a great example of good team/contributor relations.

Excellent reminder that projects are about people, not to-do lists. Understanding how to motivate, encourage and empower people has a huge impact on the project success.

Great presentation on running (open source) projects in a customer friendly way, which is obviously the way to go if you want to have a successful project.

I enjoyed seeing business/marketing tips presented in the context of a real life project.

Good stuff!
