« Check out this interview | Main | From Barcelona, Spain - Burton Group Catalyst Conference »

Busy month... no time for blogging
When I started this blog, I decided I would post several times a week. Obviously, this did not happen... I guess it's a good thing to be too busy.
It's true that October went pretty fast:
- We launched PR in Germany, and did a press tour in Munich where we met several German IT editors
- We attended the MySQL User Conferences in London, Munich and Paris (I only went to the London one, where I presented in the keynote)
- We hired two new senior business people: Stan Bailey as VP of Sales in the US, Martin Lange as Business Development Manager in Germany
- We issued a number of important press releases, started new marketing campaigns...
And this week, I am going to Barcelona, to the Burton Group's Catalyst conference where I will present a session "Collaborating for Open Source Interoperability" as a representative of the OSA.
Several important things also happened outside of Talend in October:
- SAP bought Business Objects - good for BO's stockholders, but really bad for their customers (see Bertrand Diard's blog post on the subject). Also bad for the vendor independence.
- French transportation services went on strike to defend their "avantages acquis" - compensations they got when they had to shovel coal in the furnace of their engines.
- Orange announced they would offer the iPhone in France at the end of November
- and a lot of other things that escape my mind at this time...
Gearing up for more busy weeks:
- Catalyst Conference in Barcelona
- TDWI Conference in Orlando
- TDWI Conference in Amsterdam
- and more announcements!
