Javazone 2005
[ vmassol ] 08:56, Thursday, 15 September 2005

Javazone 2005 was good. It's getting more international every year but there's still a lot of Norwegian speaking there, which was a bit difficult to understand from time to time... Oh well, I had Jerome Lacoste translating for me whenever needed. Thanks Jerome. It also gave me the opportunity to learn "Hey alle semmon" ("hi everybody") and Jeff Genenger woke up his audience on thursday morning with a "I'm a loud-mouthed american, don't listen to me I don't know anything" in Norwegian! :-)

I have presented From Maven 1 to Maven 2 which went well. There were about 60-70 people in the room, all Maven 1 users (to be expected for such a talk) and a few (about 5) Maven 2 users.

Update 2005-09-28: Kito has blogged about JavaZone 2005 and has uploaded some nice pictures.

"but there's still a lot of Norwegian speaking there"

- you don't like Norwegians? :)

I love norwegians (and especially the women)! Actually, I've had a wonderful time at JavaZone and later on playing the tourist in Oslo with friends.

I only wish I could speak the language...

Damn, I was't at Javazone (and didn't even know it was that week-end actually) and we haven't met before...

... but we were on the same Air France flight leaving Oslo on Sunday afternoon! At the boarding gate, I knew your face looked familiar, damn. It's not too often I have a chance to meet french Cactus-Java-Open Source celebrities in a flight from Norway. Damn, damn, damn.
