A kind of backdated post. Nonetheless. I’ve been awfully busy with work and fixing a whole lot of things – like buy a house!
Anyway, from October 5 – 8 I was JAOO-ed at the JAOO 2009. It was my first JAOO and “ontzettend bedankt” to Google who gave me the Google Travel and Conference grant for the conference.
My first conference since I started work and certainly my first time in Denmark, and Aarhus – which I was told that it was one of the three “technical” cities in Denmark. Little known fact, the V8 engine which powers Google Chrome is actually developed by a small team of Googlers located in the building at the back of Aarhus University.
Overall I had a great time there listening to all the Agile and Java gurus. I also met a couple of new girls and Linda summed up my favorite lecture right here about Linda Rising and Fearless Change. Everyone (technical and not) should take a look at that.
