Open Source for Managers

Matthew aka The Silent Penguin is speaking about Open Source at the next Dortmunder Kreis. The Dortmunder Kreis is open for all interested people.

I am glad Matthew will be there with this almost famous presentation, I have seen before at the JAX.

Cameroon not to the World Cup 2006?

Because of the sanction of the FIFA concerning a "wrong" tricot dress, Cameroon gets a loss of 6 points for their qualification which makes nearly impossible to qualify for the World Cup. Are they are getting nuts now? The initiative "Save the game" is trying to stop this sanction by "1 Million Voices for Cameroon!". So Cameroon has my voice because I like to see Cameroon here in Germany.

Pragmatic Manager...

This morning I had an interesting discussion with some of my colleagues. We were just discussing about how projects go when Managers act a little more pragmatic. If there is a need of pragmatic programmers, isn't there also one of pragmatic Managers?

What a day...

Well, many of my colleagues are on holiday, so today I was the only developer of my team in the office, but I'm still alive :-)
I'm also almost finished with the update of the Tempomat-Site where Peter and me put our CruiseControl Experience on. Hopefully I just make it before the (long) weekend.
