2007 Utah Technology Council’s Hall of Fame inductee Bernard Daines has a rich legacy of innovation spanning several decades of achievements in the network communications industry, and is widely recognized as an expert in Ethernet technology.

Daines was the first to push Ethernet data from 10 to 100 megabit when he created the first 100MB Ethernet Switch as a consultant at 3Com and Bob Metcalfe. Later, Daines leveraged his experience to push data 10 times faster to create the first Gigabit Switch.

Daines was the first to graduate in Computer Science at Brigham Young University, and played a major role in defining the programs and curriculum for future graduates. After sharing his knowledge as a professor, Daines went on to work at IBM and HP. Later he founded or co-founded a number of businesses centered on Ethernet, including Grand Junction Networks (acquired by Cisco), Packet Engines (acquired by Alcatel), World Wide Packets, and Linux Networx.

When Deer Valley Resort wanted to reach the Gen Xer’s and Y’s to market the Freestyle FIS World Cup, they turned to social networking and new media distribution like YouTube. Erin Grady, Deer Valley’s Communications Manager, worked with the Park City Chamber and Visitors Bureau to create a short, 5 minute Video Podcast that could be uploaded to YouTube and linked to blogs, MySpace pages, and web sites where local skiers hang out. “We knew that the younger crowd gets a lot of their information through interactive mediums, so that’s why we selected social media and podcasting,” said Grady. Since the event includes free concerts from The Samples and The Wailers (the reggae band made famous by Family Man and Bob Marley) in addition to the freestyle competition, the web is a perfect medium to reach out.

Video was selected because watching some of the world’s most incredible winter sports athletes perform aerials, flips, and amazing moves is something that has to be seen. The video also highlights scenes of downtown Park City Utah which helps promote tourism for the Park City Chamber to those who want to use the web to see the destination and what is offered to those who visit.

Freestyle FIS World Cup is being held January 11 – 13, 2007 at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah.

These new field correspondents can leverage their own blog, Flickr, YouTube, or yet-to-be-invented social media solutions to provide real-time news. Scoble relates a personal example of living in the bay area during the earthquake of 1989. At that time, the news was too centralized to the “hot” news spots, while the thousands of other locations around the Bay did not get covered — both good news (like, hey we’re okay in this part of town) and other trouble spots. Digital photos, cellular communications, broadband web connectivity, WordPress and Blogger.com are challenging news outlets. Scoble gives his recommendation of how these outlets — and the journalists struggling to keep their own jobs — need to change to include this new type of field correspondent. Between cell calls, Brad Baldwin talks to Robert while driving from San Francisco to PodTech’s new offices in Menlo Park.

Born: June 19, 1924, in Ogden, Utah
Died: October 9, 2006, in Orem, Utah
Education: Ogden High School, Ogden, Utah, Weber State College in Ogden, Utah. Graduated University of Utah, 1949, BS, cum laude, in Electrical Engineering

Few people in technology have had the impact of Ray Noorda, especially when you consider the few truly large, public, non-Silicon Valley tech businesses. Sure Novell (NASDAQ:NOVL) has had it’s challenges over the past years, but it continues to employ thousands of people and support world-wide operations. Not many tech companies can claim that.

Ray Noorda’s Dutch immigrant parents and his own depression era experience helped form the core foundation that set Mr. Norda apart from the Ferrari-driving, dotcom-era execs. The stories of “Ray’s old pickup” are famous. His management leadership came from GE and personal experience with incubating and growing technology solutions that solved business and customer needs.

Utah Governor Jon M. Huntsman, Jr., said,

“Ray was one of the innovators of the Utah Miracle. He launched what would become Utah’s technology sector. He has left behind a monumental legacy and we are all in his debt. He will be deeply missed.”
- from Canopy Ventures

Today, Mr. Nooda’s legacy for growing technology companies lives on through the Canopy Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm based in Utah. Canopy has investments in more than 100 companies and extensive philanthropic activities.

Rocky Mountain Voices salutes the contribution and legacy Ray Noorda provided to many of us who got our start in technology because of Novell. We produced a special podcast to honor this legacy with interviews from Ty Mattingly, David Bradford, Darl McBride, Ron Heinz, Ransom Love, and Drew Major.

Podcast tribute is posted at PodTech.net.

We had a great turn out. John Furrier provided a great overview of what’s happening in the Podcasting space — John talks about “morecasting” which is a lot more than just audio recordings.

The mingle was great as you could hear from the noise level. The Loco Lizard choc cake was fantastic. And personally, I appreciated hearing Mike Masse’s many covers of Radiohead.
