Two Conferences
Austin Hastings (that’s me) will be speaking at two conferences coming up in October. Both presentations will be focusing on LDM.
First, there’s the Telelogic User Group Conference 2008, in Austin, Texas. That’s obviously focused on Telelogic, and on CM Synergy and Telelogic Change, or whatever it’s called this week. Since I spent a fair amount of time during the initial implementation of LDM wishing that I could use the kind of one-off ad hoc queries that Change is so good at, I suppose it’s appropriate.
The second conference is CMconf.DE, in Munich, Germany. Sadly, it will be a few weeks after Oktoberfest — otherwise there would be no hope at all of getting hotel space, I suppose. I’ll just have to wander around looking for any leftover barrels of beer, slightly-used lederhosen, or oompa bands that I can scrounge up. The theme is the same — presenting LDM and some other approaches to database CM.
In both cases, the time constraints are really biting. LDM needs an understanding of the other ways to do (fail at) database CM before I can really talk about it, and I’m pretty sure that most people haven’t thought beyond one way, if that many. So I’ll be speaking really, really fast, and inviting attendees to stick around afterwards to talk about it.
Anyway, that’s two continents in a single month — not bad, if I do say so. If I could just find a conference in India, China, or Israel, I could sweep the northern hemisphere.
