Coming to Munich for the MySQL™ Central EU Customer Conference
October 20, 2008 - 3:27 pm - by Santo LetoI am starting a trip of two days to Munich to attend tomorrow, October 21st 2008, the MySQL™ Central EU Customer Conference.
And.. sure! I am still wondering why I am coming stated that I don’t understand German :-/
I thought that the Conference was in English or at least part of it but.. eh eh eh.. it seems it isn’t.
Two things deceived me. The name “Central Europe” and the possibility to come with some friends which are used to go in Germany in this period to drink liters of beer.
Possibility no. two vanished cause one of them went away to U.S. for a short period @ Standford University and the others are very busy during this week.
Moral:
- devote yourself to Euroregions and EU Political Integration as much as you can, :-0
- start learning German so that the next time you would be prepared to such mishap, and.. of course: English as well ;-)
- press SUN™ to organize a Conference in Italy - I suggested some months ago a Conference entitled “MySQL™ 5.1 GA Day” :-/
BTW, attending a MySQL™ Conference in German is better than non-attending an English Conference (London), especially if your model managers are present ;-)
So, see you tomorrow!
Look, it’s not a conference - a conference has a call-for-papers, has (mostly) external people speaking, and so on. This is a seminar, or perhaps even sales briefing. Calling it a seminar would be good, and accurate.
Arjen,
Thank you for the specification but that’s the name used by SUN ;)
