Holiday, a new job and upcoming conferences
It has been a bit quiet here for the past few weeks. So here is a wrapup of what has happened.
After my wife and I didn’t went on holiday in 2010 due to my wife’s lung desease, we spent almost 3 weeks in Side, Turkey this year. Although I booked the wrong hotel, it turned out that this hotel was a better choice than the hotel I had in mind when booking. It was a fantastic holiday to free my mind with a lot of sun (sunburn included), swimming, diving and other activities.
Many of you already know that I no longer work for WITTE Velbert. I had my last day at June, 8th. I started a new job on July, 1st.
I am now a fulltime XPages developer. I’m working for is@web, a company located in Nuremberg, Germany.
The decision to change the employer was already made in january 2011 when my friend Werner Motzet asked me to join the company. We had a telephone conference with CEO Jens Dinstühler and during this conference we agreed to meet a few days later in Nuremberg to discuss the contract details.
On January, 13th, I took a red-eye to Nuremberg and at the end of the day I signged the contract.
Although the company is located in Nuremberg, I am working in an office in Ratingen near Düsseldorf. I am the only employee in this office at the moment, but it is planned to increase the number of employees soon.
I am working on a Business Application Suite ( COIS V2 ). The application is completely based on XPages technology and used internally in the first place. It is intended to sell parts of the suite ( or the whole suite ) as soon as the application went to the internal quality assurance process and becomes gold release. More details to follow …
Let’s talk about upcoming conferences. Due to the job change, I’m not sure if I will/ can attend AdminCamp 2011 in Gelsenkirchen this year. In November I will talk at the DNUG conference in Bamberg.
Per Henrik Lausten invited me to give a session at the DanNotes conference in Danmark. I have confirmed the invite and looking forward to attending DanNotes.
