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 *):
