    thanks for taking all the trouble...

    had to figure out how... I had originally thought to embed the audio within the PowerPoint file itself. That didn't transfer automatically into SlideShare, so I had to then export the PPT to a web page, grab all the audio files (in .wma format no less), string them together in MixMeister, and export as an MP3 file. Then, I had to find a hosting service for the file. Once that was done, the timing tool in SlideShare was a breeze!!!

Now, over 100 years later we want to spark new batch of new companies here in Birmingham… ones that make use of the latest technologies and the entrepreneurs that make Birmingham a TOP THREE mid-sized city for entrepreneurism according to Entrepreneur magazine (2 years running).

  7. And now, this same vibrant technology community is coming together and applying the concept of “barn raising” to starting up a web-based internet company
  8. We’ll do the heavy lifting as a community… and turn the company over to the Founders on Monday morning.
  9. The “Birmingham Model” of the StartupWeekend concept, started in Boulder Colorado this past June. In the Birmingham model, three teams are selected to present on Sunday evening of the “Business Dev” weekend. All developers watch a webcast of the presentations and then vote on which project to implement the following weekend... majority wins. The winning business team uses the week to further tweak their product spec in time for the Implementation Weekend.
  10. “ Business Dev” weekend
  11. We’ll invite speakers who will cover core subjects necessary to the success of the entrepreneur teams
  12. Specific useful topics will be covered, including staffing, legal, marketing, etc.
  13. Development teams will solve their own business problems after being challenged by what they’ve learned
  14. Three companies will be chosen to present on Sunday evening
  15. “ Implementation” weekend
  16. A chance to work alongside the best of the best here in Birmingham
  17. Teams will work together to create the software for the new company
  18. Even if you’re not on-site during the weekend, we’ll find ways to share what’s going on
  19. W. I. I. F. M. ???
  20. We’ll feed you… (probably NOT ribs, though)
  21. You’ll get a t-shirt, which your child might quickly steal for a night shirt
  22. Bloggers will be tracking the goings-on of the weekend
  23. You might even show up on television in a documentary planned to track progress through the effort You?!
  24. But, ultimately is about having been one of a chosen few to have BUILT THE BARN
  25. You’ll be able to point at the *barn* (company) and say “I helped build that”
  26. Let’s Get Busy!
  27. First… get yourself to www.BirminghamStartup.com – after looking around, click on the “Join This Wiki” button and become a registered user.
  28. AFTER registration, you will be able to add comments

  30. Then, contribute by adding your comments… for example, this page is a discussion about what the LOGO of the project will be.

    • Keep an eye on the wiki for logistical details
    • and… SHOW UP and STAY INVOLVED… we’ve got a company to build, or put another way… “we’ve got a barn to raise!!”
