My work in the U.S., conferences and teleworking

What do Seraina Josiah and here is the most obvious, but what I'm doing really so hard all day long? In this blog post I would like to explain my work here in the U.S. in more detail using some examples. Basically, I'm

still employed by the University of Zurich, however, half as much as in Switzerland, ie. distributed over the year, I am employed 40%, but can divide my time quite freely. I currently work in the morning to Josiah from school comes home plus I travel to conferences and events. answer emails, support for users who work with our tools and OLAT eLML and have questions, coding of layout templates, public relations, etc. In addition, I visited the: If I work at home, then I do similar things as in Zurich Conferences and Expos last few weeks to present to our tools in the U.S. and Canada. The e-learning software we sell is available for free, because it was published by the University of Zurich under an open source license . My goal is to find new users and internal users in the U.S., because here dominating a few (U.S.) products and although OLAT has followers in Europe and Asia, it is almost here (yet) been observed.

The first conference I attended in mid-October was an engineering conference at the University of California at Berkeley. It is not meant strutting about in a public blog about organizations and other people, so here are just a few pictures with perhaps 60-70 participants modest conference ...

addition appeared a certain person who had lured me to this conference and the times I here call AP, to not know what something annoyed and the whole exercise made even more meaningless. Janu, the beauty of the conference was that it went uphill from there only.

Next, as in the following week, the E-Learn 2009 in Vancouver, Canada on the program. This conference was much better and more interesting. Gabs over 4 days each from morning to night at 8 clock by 19 clock interesting lectures (ok, not all ...), demos, poster sessions, etc. I even had a talk and had also still at a session of the Open Source opportunity to present our tools. Then in such events of course, the importance of networking: There is food and aperitifs in which one with increasing alcohol level more ordinary people will get to know, you go to lectures on topics of interest to one and then talk with the teachers or take part in the discussion or we kept going to the so-called round tables on specific issues, and exchanges with other peers from. What ultimately brings is hard to say ... Much blabla or real interest? We will see ... Here are some impressions of the E-Learn 2009:

Last week, then the third and first last conference: The eLearning Guilds DevLearn 2009 in San Jose to San Francisco. Unlike the first two conferences are also an Expo gabs here, that is, an exhibition hall with stands. And I had a booth there to look after, which is somewhat stressful alone, but the more interesting because you get to know more people. But before I could build my stand I had to first travel to San Jose and here I decided to (once more) for the train. Here are some impressions of the train which resulted in part, directly along the Pacific and was truly sensational:

However, the journey took them 9 hours, which did not bother me though. From the station we went directly to a restaurant in the evening where I met representatives of an American university. They have apparently OLAT closely evaluate and decide this week whether they have to switch to OLAT in the future or not. Since I'm curious ...

started on Wednesday the Expo and I built with my limited funds on a stand. Next to me, companies like Adobe, the cocky were praising their products, which increased the charm of my state yet. As a university and open source project can not occur cocky, that would be somewhat out of place. In addition, gabs at my stand free Swiss chocolate (Comment by a Visitor "Swiss Chocolate? You rock!") Was incredibly attracted many visitors :-)

Unfortunately, I did this "chocolate-Bonus "does not always take advantage, for I was alone on the stand and could only speak with one person at a time. On another level I had experienced as a "stand hostess" Although several people handling services at a time - I just wanted something to ask about their product as they are "second Excuse me one" with the next visitor turned "Do you have any questions about our products ". For me no option I found this rather unappealing and "rude".

The same day, I still had to hold a lecture on OLAT and eLML. A one hour unsupervised st Janu, my neighbor was kind enough to stand in the eye. The oral presentation was attended not bad, but I was pretty surprised when I learned that my session lasts 75 minutes and not 15 or 20 minutes as usual at conferences. So I was first a half-hour presentation with a detailed demo and then improvised by the audience I asked about their use of open source tools to speak in their organization plus benefits and risks of open source products to discuss. This led to a surprisingly lively discussion and when I finished after 60 minutes of the session no one was angry that she had done earlier :-) No wonder now was "Expo reception" aperitif announced and it was to be first at the bar ... (My grade level was at the entrance) Fortunately, the bar next to my stand which gave me a) many customers and b) easy access to Whiskey-Cola enabled :-) pictures from my session before the start:

evening was back in fashion networking. The organizers had a funny idea: On a bulletin board could always wanted to propose a dinner-theme plus location and you could then find you wollte. Ich endete mit ein paar "Higher Education" und "Open Source" Leuten in einem mexikanischen Restaurant, was ganz nett war.

Donnerstag war dann wieder "am Stand stehen" angesagt. Es lief nicht mehr ganz so viel wie am ersten Tag, aber das ist immer so an Messen. Zudem hat man dann mehr Zeit für einzelne Personen und lustigerweise kamen nun ein paar Leute vorbei weil sie am Mittagstisch, an einem Vortrag, bei einem Gespräch im Gang von OLAT gehört hätten und nun mal an den Stand kämen um die Software anzuschauen (und um Schweizer Schokolade zu nehmen :-)

Am Abend gabs dann ein sogenanntes Demofest  an welchem ich OLAT vorstellten konnte. Ein Demofest ist normalerweise ein large hall in which each project, a table is provided, and the idea is that you can not products presents (distribute T-shirts with logo and flyer was banned) but research projects, its own e-learning courses, best practices, open source tools, etc. So it was not necessarily the sense that those companies who had a booth at the Expo also presented their products at the Demo party. I had signed up anyway, and as university open source project that also seemed to be OK to occur there. The demo party was well attended, not only because the Thursday aperitif was coupled to it but also because the people were really interested in the projects. After 3 h demo hard I was practically hoarse and happy that it was over.

the evening I was invited by one of our (few) List users in a fine Indian restaurant. We had been around for a few months and have had contact since he lives right next to San Jose was a good opportunity to meet up again. The hope would be that he could offer as a commercial partner for us in the U.S. OLAT Services. Anyway, he has planned for 2010 and I hope it works out.

Friday was announced and then again after all the conference events, meetings and conversations I was quite happy in the afternoon the plane (no, not unfortunately train ...) to take to LAX have made and also the third and last time being successful conference behind me. Of the cities I saw the way, each not much, what a shame. In both Vancouver and San Jose, I went only once out of the hotel in the city (in both places the conference was held in the hotel). Too bad, but Janu ...

Back in Topanga, it is now known to intensify contacts to respond to emails, organize conference calls and Skype meetings and overwhelm my colleagues in Switzerland with requests and on their toes to keep in the hope that it is usually behind all the great sayings that people here also put a few grains of truth swing. We will see ... World domination We have not planned with OLAT, but a few new users plus commercial partners in the United States would have been not bad. And where would be better than in my home office, the best job I ever had (and probably ever will be ... * sniff *):

Topanga - the place I call home now!

I'm sitting in Cafe Mimosa , ideal place to write in a blog entry about Topanga Topanga. Why? The Mimosa is Topanga. At Cafe Mimosa is ALWAYS at least one screenwriter with his Apple (what else?) Laptop and is writing his newest screenplay. In Mimosa are always some other old or new the day hippies verghängen somehow. For example, yesterday when I had to overhear a conversation of two elderly men about sex. The one to the other: "Up to 20-hearted wars, after they gave me life because of AIDS and had such a hard and now is not worth the stress ...." and the other "Yes, exactly, had I recently grad with such a young, inexperienced sex, it was not worth it ..." and so on ... When will I turn and look at the two: They are indeed as old as me? What the hell? And who is sitting right now as I write the blog next to me and turns on a young French woman? Exactly ... "I love your French accent!" he actually says but as I write. Fuck, yeah, everybody loves that French accent the accent if the owner is a 21 year old blonde exchange student ... How clumsy :-) And the other is also in with a fellow grad. There is always the same people hang out and drink "Soy Latte" or eat vegan bagels. Too cool :-)

Or last week. A real age to a colleague tells how his daughter got married. "And then she called me, right on their wedding night and screamed that her husband locked himself for three hours and get drunk And I get drunk in unto her, Honey, nobody joins on the wedding night in the bathroom to either smokes it Crack but surely shoot heroin or no alcohol, I know what I'm talking about! " and you could see that it was true. And such You can follow discussions in the mimosa while running in the background "Exodus" by Bob Marley (like right now ...). And if they adopt the locals go with "Peace, man!" I just had myself also presented here ... 40 years ago ... What has changed, however: every second has a laptop and / or iPhone and it works from somewhere, bsp. specified by the Mimosa, like me now and then.

Next to the hats a Mimosa Bhutan Store (I've never been there, I need what degree from Bhutan? Me If anything a degree ...), an organic shop and of course the legendary Dr. Roy! Dr. Roy is the only doctor in Topanga and is at least since 1968 here. mentioned in the introduction of school the director of the school that all parents have a TB test need to be able to campus again. And is best done by Dr. Roy, the test takes 2 minutes and then you have to talk for half an hour with him. No kidding! Serafina and I were at least half an hour with him (at a price of only $ 30 for the TB test!). So Serafina's theme of "Mexican cinema", he was mega exciting to have drawn out all the stops what he knows about the topic. For example, the story of an old customer who is a mid stay dead. His father was from Mexico, had in the 20's fought with Pancho Villa in the Mexican Revolution and then fled to New Orleans where he among blacks Steppdanz or has otherwise learned a dance, then went to Germany where he danced in shows for the Nazis and then escaped and and and ... When I told him that I studied Environmental Sciences had I was taken promptly to his office where he showed me his collection of satellite images. And so on ... Dr. Roy, we encourage all guests to be at least slightly injured when they are here so they can enjoy a treatment from Dr. Roy. Gell, Guido? Short time on our wall ride fall flat on its face and there you go :-) Where Dr. Roy on his own Answerer points out that "if this is an emergency call 911!". That's honest!

What else is there in Topanga? A few more Restaurants and cafes, a grocery store, more eco-shop and a post office. One of the coolest restaurants, the Froggis, one of the most expensive in the whole region is the esoteric New Age restaurant 'The Inn of the Seventh Ray. " There we were so far only once, to Simone, Guido and Annette brunch. Quite noble, located in a charming garden by the Topanga stream flows, with classical music in the background and a buffet as big as I have never seen it! And the water is ultimately filtered, balanced and swings just right, as the waiter assured us. For $ 35 can you expect something :-)

Then of course there's the Topanga Elementary School Josiah in which the 6th Class visits. The Principal (Director) is quite a joke Keck. His Dr. Roy is saying just one example, a pilot who is also the parents of other morning, his comment was at the school canteen: "Our lunch costs one dollar and it tastes like one dollar so please give your kids your own lunch!" The canteen food in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) - to which we belong and are also supplied so - is really in each sow is either green or slimy - for vegetarians - chips with melted cheese over it or something of that nature so it is that Josiah goes to school here since he eats healthier than ever. Every morning we make him a fine sandwich with humus, cheese, soy, organic vegetables plus fruit course, a Müesliriegel (mostly Cliffbar), nuts, etc. What more could you want ...

Josiah's teacher is young and motivated, in Josiah's class is 14 kids, all are motivated, even the cool skater boys like to go to school, it teases not and respected themselves. And that is in a public school! In short, it is pretty much the opposite of Zurich. And we had expected in LA gangs, drugs and metal detectors at the entrance ... Josiah recently came home quite surprising because the principal had warned in a speech to the students, but that we should not allow outside phone and Portemonney front of the classroom, be it even happened that something has been stolen! Josiah was quite surprised that it was for a speech, for it is but normal for the cell phone was off when it is in front of the classroom in a jacket or something .... let Not in Topanga, baby ... So I leave the house and the car actually always open, I think we do not even have a second set of keys, and so has only Seraina a house key. Our doors and windows are always a joke, by the by ...

But there are dangers in Topanga. Especially the Topanga Canyon Road where the people by Bloch, regardless of losses. And Josiah the ever walk to school and the canyon has to cross - it has at least one light - and I am mostly moving with the bike in Topanga, have been rethinking a bit and get away from Züri-groove where everyone holds if only is already close to a pedestrian crossing. In the eyes of most parents, we are irresponsible, because I know Josiah is the only child to walk alone and still goes to school. When other kids to Josiah to a "Play Date " come, then that is after Coming home is always a huerä theater, but some kids can now walk with Josiah home. Thunder and lightning

Other threats include fire, water and wild animals. Let's start with the animals. In our garden romp day rabbits, squirrels (squirrels), rattlesnakes and lizards. The rodents puncture half the hill where our house is built and there is a risk that, if a larger storm down here is much ground because everything is so riddled and unstable. In the night we hear rats and mice (we have set up traps everywhere so they will not be too bold) and of course, coyotes. Coyotes are shy in and of themselves and engage People do not (except for having killed two weeks ago when she a Canadian ...) only one is still a very small man and is left outside overnight. do not leave babies in the garden, otherwise they're gone if you're unlucky. And let no pets such as dogs and cats outside at night, etc. or they will be gone too. According to Serafina, and Josiah, the coyotes would come to our front door and yowl all terrible (so terrible that Seraina the house now closes again at night ... if that helps?). Anyway, I hear the coyotes howl, and practically never really loudly as they used here has a short scream from the balcony they immediately expelled.

fire and water, however, are very real dangers. You have to imagine that in Topanga (or Southern California) is actually from about April to November never rains. You live here on the edge of a desert from the desert and when the dreaded Santa Ana winds with 40 degrees Celsius or more pure blowing it takes is a spark and everything is burning. Even without the wind there is very bad here, forest fires and within minutes you can be in a circle of fire if one cuts off immediately. So we shall get in school fire drills regularly and each house has its emergency manual, is assigned a protection zone, etc. And when the winter rains, it pours apparently. So tight that the Topanga Canyon breaks its banks, come down the slopes and mud and stones blocking the road. Then it is secure because it is the only road here. And do not forget to earthquakes. Although I've seen it but if none are times one should be off, then under the table or door frame ... So we will in any case recommended. In conclusion one can say that there are already many real dangers, but they are entirely different nature than we had imagined from Los Angeles.

live But in nature only brings only dangers. It is naturally cool in a house to live in the countryside, especially if there is so much sun here in California. We have here every day of sun since we are here. Two days of rain as Simone was here (Murphy's Law), and otherwise almost always blue sky and sun. So I often work on the laptop outside on the terrace when it's warm enough. On the night because it cools down quite a bit (to 10 degrees) and in the morning, it is therefore still quite fresh to be the sun around 10 clock shows up and everything warms up.

Fortunately, we have cool neighbors that we see ourselves well and to eat together and take supper or what. Otherwise, we actually know not many people here, two, via three parents from the class of Josiah and another family Josiah's biker boyfriend. Josiah, who yes every day at school with other students Students, and Serafina, which runs regularly to UCLA and he has colleagues, this does not. I, as a "home-work" of working from home, would like some more interaction with people. This is the disadvantage when you work at home. On the other hand, I spent the last two weeks at two conferences, one in Berkeley (San Francisco) and am in Vancouver (Canada) and next week I already back in a conference in San Jose, CA. I can not complain as the moment :-) Thats all folks, for the moment.
