Photos the traditional way # After one year of taking pictures at various occasions and at various places the pile of photos grew frighteningly large:
I am not counting the images taken at Apache Con US Oakland - they are not yet developed. All other photos were taken either with an old fashioned Olympus µ-zoom or a Praktica Nova 1st.
Several hours of work later, I ended up with one more book containing memories of an exciting year…

Apache Hadoop at FOSDEM 2010
#
Though the official schedule is not yet online: I will be giving an introductory talk about Apache Hadoop at next
year’s FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Developer European Meeting) in Brussles. This will be the 10th birthday of the
event - looking forward to a fun event, meeting other free and open source software developers from all over
Europe.
If you are a Apache
Hadoop developer and would like me to include some particular topic in the talk - please feel free to contact me. If
you are an Apache Hadoop user and would like to learn more on the project, please come to the talk and ask questions.
If you are an Apache Hadoop Newbie - feel free to join us.
In addition there will be a NoSQL Dev Room at FOSDEM
as well. The call for presentations is up already. So if you are doing fun stuff with CouchDB, HBase and friends or are
a developer of these projects - submit a talk and join us in early-February in Brussles.December 7, 2009

Berlin hospital chaos (Charite) # What getting screws out of your knee looks like at Charite: Got sent to “Virchow Klinikum” by my doctor back home: I got some recommendations for it from my colleagues and is easy to reach for me. Called up there earlier this week and got an appointment for today at 8:30 a.m. (was already wondering, that this was possible so quickly). Arrived this morning: But seems like I was out of luck - no one at the hospital knew about the appointment.

ScrumTisch Berlin - November # This evening Marion organised another successful Scrumtisch: Usually we either meet for timeboxed discussions on Scrum and agile development questions or a speaker is invited to present his favourite Scrum or Lean or Agile topic.
Today Markus Frick gave a presentation of how Scrum was introduced at SAP, a German software company. They started implementing Scrum in a “small” team of about 60 people, organised in about six to seven teams.

What do you think, when would be a good time for that?”. As that was about the third time I heard of that idea (and the third person mentioning the idea), I included some Berlin-based Apache-people asking whether they would be interested in having an Apache Dinner on November 24st in X-Berg.
