"Although other participants were important and networking is the king, the main reason why we flew over 1000 km were the speakers (despite Italian food and weather of course!). And yes, diversity was easily noticeable within this group. We had a chance to listen to people from different countries, backgrounds, representing great organizations."- via https://www.netguru.co/blog/frontend-2015-bologna

Jeremy Keith
Jeremy lives in Brighton, England where he makes websites with the splendid design agency Clearleft. You may know him from such books as DOM Scripting: JavaScript’s New Hope, Bulletproof Ajax: The Browser Strikes Back, and HTML5 For Web Designers: Return Of The Standards.
He’s the curator of the dConstruct conference as well as Brighton SF, and he organised the world’s first Science Hack Day. He also made the websiteHuffduffer to allow people to make podcasts of found sounds—it’s like Instapaper for audio files.
Hailing from Erin’s green shores, Jeremy maintains his link to Irish traditional music running the community site The Session. He also indulges a darker side of his bouzouki-playing in the band Salter Cane.
Jeremy spends most of his time goofing off on the internet, documenting his time-wasting onadactio.com, where he has been writing for over ten years.
