Live from Swift by Northwest

Full transcript and show notes at <a href='https://theomnishow.omnigroup.com/episode/live-from-swift-by-northwest/'>theomnishow.omnigroup.com</a> <p>This episode was recorded at the <a href="https://swiftbynorthwest.com/">Swift by Northwest</a> conference in Portland, on October 19, 2018. It’s a panel discussion with people from outside Omni, and we’re stretching a bit from our usual content — but we think you’ll enjoy it anyway!</p> <p>Before the panel, your host Brent Simmons emailed the panelists to ask them about things that provoked strong feelings — positive or negative or both — to use as topics. These did not have to be strictly technical topics, and they weren’t.</p> <p>The panelists:</p> <p><a href="https://kayathomas.info">Kaya Thomas</a> is a writer, iOS developer at Slack, and the creator of <a href="http://wereadtoo.com/">We Read Too app</a>, a directory of children’s books written by authors of color and featuring characters of color.</p> <p><a href="https://bitsplitting.org/">Daniel Jalkut</a> is a blogger, <a href="https://coreint.org/">podcaster</a>, and the developer of <a href="https://www.red-sweater.com/marsedit/">MarsEdit</a>, a blogging app.</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/jaimeejaimee">Jaimee Newberry</a> is a writer, speaker, and the CEO of <a href="https://www.picturethisclothing.com/">Picture This Clothing</a>, which makes dresses based on hand-drawn and -colored designs — in other words, kids can wear their imaginations.</p> <p>Note: be prepared — the audio is a bit weird in some spots, since it comes from a live recording and Brent is walking around the room. We apologize for that.</p> <p>Also: thanks so much to the conference organizers — the Klein family — for inviting us!</p>
