In his (not-too-serious) speech, Guillaume will go back in Time and Space to explain how DiskMaker X came to fruition, how and when it became a successful software, the interesting economics of a donationware product, how to not make assumptions about how people use your software (because sometimes, even very tech-savyy, very famous people may use your software… No spoiler !), providing support, localizing with Applescript, providing visual feedback… And sometimes, what you have to EXTERMINATE to make your software more valuable !Īnd of course… don’t forget to bring your Sonic Screwdriver !Ī die-hard Apple addict since 1994, Guillaume Gète is a famous French Mac guru. He worked for AppleCare tech support in 1997, then decided that he would love to spend his life working with Apple. Guillaume has been an Apple trainer, a technical director for advertising agencies, and established his own Apple-consulting company in 2006. He worked since with hundreds of companies to push Mac and iOS integration forward in enterprise. He’s been a longtime speaker, presenting Apple devices or software at Apple Expo, or introducing technologies to non-technical audiences.

His web site has been known since 1997 for providing fun and deep technical articles on all things Apple to French Mac users.
