On 29 February and 1 March there will be Voxxed Days Vienna in Vienna, Austria, with a number of interesting talks.

I will be presenting there as well: Practical Scala for the busy Java developer.

I'm still busy preparing and practicing the talk. I have done presentations before, but this will be my first time presenting at a conference!

Have a great time at the conf, Jesper! Don't forget to share a link to your talk. I'm not a busy java developer, but I would still like to learn practical Scala

Just as at the Devoxx conference, they are going to record all the talks at Voxxed Vienna and put them on YouTube. Ofcourse I'll post a link to my talk once it's up there.

Ahhh why I didn't check this part of the forum earlier! Vienna is about 5 hours by car from my place, I was there several times. This will be a lesson for me

It's still a month away.
Or are you from the future?

I have no idea what kind of trickery my mind played on me, but somehow I thought that February is now. I focused more on the 29th-1st part, the 29th is today. Thanks for finding that out Karthik!

Since the universe (or Karthik?) gave me a second chance, I will try to organize things to be able to be there

Jawohl I saw there is some Gösser-branded cafe next to the building where Voxxed takes place

I'm here at the conference now with Adam!

My talk was this morning, it went very well and was fun to do. I'm not sure if they're going to make a video of it available for free. On the conference website it says they are going to put the talks on Parleys.com, which is a website with lots of talks and courses, but only part of them is available for free.

Photos or it didn't happen.

Congrats on your talk Jesper and I'll look forward to maybe watching it online later. I'm glad to hear it went well. Cow and Pie time!

Unfortnately I didn't make a photo of Adam and me; at the moment I'm waiting for my flight home in the airport.

The organizer of the event mentioned on the end note that he will try to get the videos online within next two weeks, but as Jesper said, no idea if they will be free or not.

It was a pretty funny coincidence how I met with Jesper. Somehow after presentations on the first day I landed with the speakers on the "speakers party" (I wasn't a speaker!) at the bar nearby. As I sat down at the table, I noticed a familiar face in front of me, it turned out it's Jesper
