Next generation tech leaders
As part of the Churchill Club’s 20th anniversary event at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, Sun co-founder and now venture capitalist at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers Bill Joy moderated a panel entitled “Next Generation Leaders.” The panelists (see image below) included Evan Williams, Founder of ODEO; Mark Jacobstein, President, Digital Chocolate; Scott Heiferman, CEO, Meetup.com; and Blake Ross, co-creator of Firefox.
A podcast of the lively panel discussion is available as an MP3 that can be downloaded or, if you’re already subscribed to ZDNet’s series of podcasts, it will show up on your system or MP3 player automatically (See ZDNet’s podcasts: How to tune in). I also interviewed Blake Ross and Evan Williams separately about their respective ventures.
