About Remote Conferences
As the pandemic starts challenging all aspects of our life, I tweeted my personal opinion about software conferences in a thread.

About the JAOO Conferences
This week I had the opportunity to attend the JAOO Developer Conference 2009 in Århus (Denmark), invited by Trifork, the company behind this and other fine events, like QCon and RubyFoo.
Pourquoi Pas?
Pourquoi ne peut-on pas avoir des conférences comme celle-ci, avec des mini-events comme celui-ci en parallèle en Romandie?
