Remote Workers - whether contractors or maybe your company wants to 'go virtual' - how do you exactly do this? What's involved in creating a work environment where people can work at home, have things to do and be trusted to get them done? Can any one do this? Where does it *not* work? How can you prepare for this? Part Virtual Company and Part Contractor Usage, this session will help you determine if virtual workers are right for your company, and what you can do about it if you think it is.

Jake Simpson has been making games a long time. Not as long as he’ll tell you – he had nothing to do with Eliza no matter what he says – but a long time none the less, some twenty plus years or something. He’s made console games, PC games, Arcade Machines and is now busy making a safe haven for 3D avatars in Second Life.
Jake likes beer, and the best way to survive a Jake Encounter in the wild is to buy him a beer and back away slowly nodding the whole time, or he’ll talk you to death. Chances are he won’t even notice you are gone. Especially do not mention Doctor Who or he’ll just sad you to death.
