Islamabad -> Nürnberg -> home

Last week I came back from a three weeks stay at our office in Islamabad. I landed
6:40am in Frankfurt, and instead of going home, I took the train to the Open Source
meets Business conference in the wonderful city of Nürnberg. Pretty
tiring…

Anyway, I had a great conference. First of all, I met Bertrand
Maugain again. Bertrand is a good friend of mine and was a fellow student
when we were both studying at the NTNU in
Trondheim, Norway. Then, of course, I discussed a collaboration framework
for expanding our customer base in Germany
with Thomas Uhl. Then, I
finally met Dr. Karl-Heinz Strassemeyer and Nico Gulden from LiSoG (Linux Solutions Group) in real
life with whom I discussed our possibly
upcoming membership of the group. And of course I bumped into Klaus Behrla
(director of communication at LPI) and Reiner
Brandt (President of LPI-Central Europe and OSC),
as I always do on conferences lately. :-)

Of course, I should also mention that rapid-i
won the Open Source Business award and that Bryan
Cheung, CEO of Liferay, is a very
nice guy. :-)

After these two days, I finally got home (after a train delay in Belgium of course). No time to rest
now though, because next week I’ll be in Paris for The Linux Solutions, Open
Source & Free Software Exhibition for Business, Administrations and
Communities. Let’s hope it will be as much fun!
