100 days of ZENworks – training in Düsseldorf

First of a long series of posts from the next 100 or so days talking about the next version of ZENworks.

Training

I’m in Düsseldorf – running an internal training course on ‘Pulsar’. I wrote a pretty detailed, deep dive, technical training course on ‘Pulsar’ and delivered it today.

I’ve been polishing and writing labs and training course notes all week; I’ve had a couple of hours sleep in the last three days.

Today was the actual training – and I think it went well. We trained 25 internal people from across EMEA on the next version of the product; yesterday was training on our messaging and positioning; tomorrow is marketing, positioning and ITIL training.

It’s been a long time since I spent time with this many EMEA people in technical training; the response so far has been very positive.

Tel Aviv

I’m in Tel Aviv, Israel for customer visits with Novell Israel.

Don’t be fooled by this picture of the city from my hotel – it really is all concrete from this view. I went for dinner tonight with Vered and Amit from the local team in the older part of the city – known as the White City.

It’s actually the ‘New Town’ and it all dates from the 1930s – it’s all Bauhaus style architecture – unique – and it’s listed by UNESCO.

Tel Aviv

People often forget that Tel Aviv is right on the Mediterranean – here is the view the other way:
