In order to accomplish this with some regularity, I will try to build up a backlog of posts based on my notes and ideas I have been thinking about for some time.

It will be a mix of:

  • release announcements
  • reflections on open source development
  • tutorials/introductions and Today I Learned notes from my collection
  • and I will try to pick up on more work related topics, where I will do some reflection on my professional activities as a product manager in a business developing software

With only 52 posts and one per week, it sounds easy, but I know it will be hard, since it can and will be hard to find the time to write.

My motivation is based on the enjoyment I find in the topics and the activity of writing about it.

  • Writing things down, helps me remember
  • Structuring thoughts into writing, clear and clean up things on my mind
  • Outlining into writing lets me gain perspective on things I am working on

So watch this space, more will follow in a weeks time.
