On this day (my final day before vacation and the new years) I wish you all a Merry Christmas and alot of Happiness in New Year 2007.

Also, I wish that you will have even better both personal and proffesional results in the new-coming year!


Enjoy the holidays!

Last week (well on Saturday) I’ve organized with the help of my friends and sponsors a CodeCamp in Croatia.

Although it was great and the people loved it we had a relatively low turnout. Out of 70 registered people only about 30 people came. Some attribute it to the fact it was on Saturday, others that it was a week before Christmas, but I see it simply as irresponsible. Also as one of the biggest problem with free events… they are FREE; You can basically register for the event, take a place in the list and make a no show without any consequences.

Well enough with the rant. The event itself went really great; we had a complete day of presentations, discussions, etc… at the end of the day we had a hour and a half long discussion about SOA and interoperability (at moments we want so far as to compare our “better” half’s with “messages” in SOA world, and the shoe repair man with the “service” J); Also at the very end of the day we had a “rich” raffle game in which we gave great products from our contributors (INETA, ComponentArt, CodeSmithTools, Telerik, Red-Gate…).


I am also pretty satisfied because I know now which areas to target more next year to make the event even better (e.g. send one week prior a mail to reminder and ask to unregister if someone will not come.)!
