Asia Trip
I am now wrapping up my 2 1/2 weeks of trip through Asia as part of the db4o Roadshow 2007 to present the new version 6.0 to users and customers and touch base with local communities and the press.
The first half week I stayed in Tokyo, Japan, where we had a roadshow event
and visited several customers - (more) interesting projects coming up there.
The second week I toured China with a short stop in Seoul, South Korea. In China we made three very successful roadshow stops in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, thanks to the excellent preparation of the local community. We also signed the contract with our first Chinese commercial customer to run the power grid of Shenzhen, the city next to Hong Kong, with a SCADA systen based on db4o.
The last week was focussed on India to meet our local team in Pune, to meet customers and users and to speak at FOSS.IN, India's premier open source conference. It was a well attended event and I spoke to some 500 attendees to "How we fix the software industry with open source". I also liked the Ghandi-style tents where we held our BOFs...
Next week in Europe to continue the roadshow in Munich, Paris, Berlin and London.
