Bruce is one of my favorite presenters. He has that witty British thing going and no matter how boring the presentation may be he is always fun to watch. Not that he was boring this time, the presentation was brilliant we had a lovely time.
Bruce’s OpenSkills related presentations are interesting because of the various open source technologies used which are combined with Smalltalk and often leveraged from Smalltalk. On this occassion , the OpenPGP stuff and it use to support a trust network was very interesting. Also of interest to me was his use of Glorp since we intend to use it to provide a pluggable rdms backend to our product.
After the meeting we went to the bar which is now apparently becoming part of our custom. I’m glad we started to do this since it allows us to interact in a way one can’t during a presentation. We had two guests i.e. newcomers , Matt and Jerome. Good meeting you all, hope to see you next time. Any questions you know where to ask. BTW, next time would be September since we take August off. The fall season should be a good one. I potentially have more presentations than available time slots , a good thing since that means that we should have material available for first Q 2006.
