The Bibletech 2011 conference is now over. This was the first conference of this sort that I’ve visited. It was an enjoyable two days. I met many new people, made some good contacts, and learned a lot. I was also able to gain a better perspective on how the Orthotomeo Project fits into the current landscape of theological software. I think it can be a good fit and a something worth persuing. I received a fair amount of positive feedback. The next phase will be to asses the current situation and make plans and goals for the phase of development.
Bibletech 2011 Summary
Upon further reflection I was also impressed by the general humility of all the presenters. The conference was not a gathering of computer geeks trying to impress one another with how much they know.
It was a gathering of geeks who have been reconciled to God.
This was evident in their demeanor, friendliness and desire to advance God’s kingdom through computer technology.
