From Victoria, Canada
I can't believe it's been 3 weeks since my last post. Time flies so fast. I am writing this from Victoria, Canada, where Talend is supporting our new partner Camptocamp for their product launch at the FOSS4G conference. Spatial Data Integrator, Powered by Talend, is a geospatial extension to Talend Open Studio.
Well, the first thing I have to say is that you must be pretty motivated to make it all the way to Victoria, BC. It's out of the beaten paths! But people who managed to escape their hotel and convention center say it's beautiful - hopefully I'll be able to get a peek before I leave tomorrow...
Getting there wasn't that easy. Especially when AA managed to cancel the remaining segments of my itinerary while I was over the Atlantic Ocean. A very helpful gate agent at DFW managed to get me to Victoria. But the Exec Platinum phone desk was completely clueless and helpless - fortunately the nice people in Dublin were able to sort out the situation this morning. So I am not stuck in Victoria and will be able to fly to San Francisco tomorrow as planned!
While I am on the FOSS4G topic, I want to mention a great keynote we had yesterday: Damian Conway in his address "Geek Eye for the Suit Guy" looked look at Open Source issues through geek eyes - and this provided a very entertaining talk.
More later... if AA does not lose me somewhere in Alaska!
