Martin, Thanks for the offer. Not sure if Otavio or someone else from Uom was able.
I should speak at JCON in September which is close to my current assignment. Thus I also limit international talks to countries near by or events that sponsor the entire trip. I know it exists for Apachecon but I can't afford to stay the whole time which they require for travel support. Kind Regards, Werner Martin Desruisseaux <[email protected]> schrieb am Di., 7.
