pariSoma innovation loft. coworking and tech events.

pariSoma will be hosting a discussion regarding CSS Styling of HTML Forms.

We will begin the discussion reviewing some common forms and how they are used. We will then move into discussing styling various different form elements and different techniques used to display and manage forms and dynamic forms.

I welcome you to bring example forms or projects that you have run across. We will finish our discussion with an open forum for questions. I want to keep the focus on how to style and work form elements with CSS, yet this topic may include some javascript discussion as well.

Feel free to email examples or projects you may want to discuss or display. There will be wifi at the location, yet it may help to have your code offline too just in case.

We are very excited to announce that all TEDxSoMa speaker videos are up on TEDxSoMa homepage!

It was a great event! Once again, we would like to thank our speakers, sponsors, volunteers and everybody who attended!

Please find all presentations here!

FailChat #1: The Pivot

Introducing the first of a series of FailChats, based on the groundbreaking FailCon: the first conference ever to focus on the ins and outs of business failure, and how to prepare.

What do Flickr, YouTube, and Nintendo all have in common?  They each went through a pivot: the act of a company drastically changing their product and/or business plan to attract a larger and/or more profitable market to avoid bankruptcy or business failure.  With proper planning, good advisers, and loyal users, it can still be an excellent way for any startup to bounce back.  Come meet and network with industry leaders, founders, and more, then join in our panel discussion on how and when to pivot, what it entails, what to expect, and more!

Tech Atlas SF TV SHOW: Which way for Urban WiFi?

As WiFi moves from our homes, offices and cafés to city-wide networks, how can municipalities and regions best harness this new networking capability? WiFi is now also moving into places where it didn’t exist before, like trains, buses, subways and other non-traditional locations too. Here in the Bay Area, we’ve seen the evolution of WiFi onto BART, onto Transbay buses, and even into citywide networks, such as the Google network in Mountain View. However, there have also been some frustrated efforts, as some municipal networks have failed entirely. Come hear Michael McCarthy from the City of San Francisco and Karl Garcia from Google share their expertise and explore their visions for the future of urban WiFi.

Tech Atlas SF is a monthly live, half an hour online TV show. Passionate people discuss how globally relevant issues on the Internet are changing our lives.

The show is moderated and organized by Cyrus Farivar and is hosted by the pariSoma Inovation Loft.

We’re also looking for sponsors.
