CMS Expo is great!

May 5th, 2010 Marc-André No comments

I have been in Chicago for 2 days now for CMS Expo 2010. Let me say that this is an outstanding conference! Very well organized, a lot of great speakers, a lot of great people, great food, great everything!

For me, it was a wonderful opportunity to finally meat with someone I’ve been working with for the past 5 years, Steve Kenow, one of the initiators of the ImpressCMS project. We have been working together since in the XOOPS days and started the ImpressCMS adventure together with other great people. We’ve been talking to each other nearly every week for the past few year, but yet again, I had still to meet with him! This was accomplished this week!

On my way to CMS Expo in Chicago

May 2nd, 2010 Marc-André No comments

Well, I got in Montreal Trudeau Airport at 2 PM today. My flight was at 4 so, more time then actually needed. But when I got to the Porter desk, the lady informed me that the boarding would start at 4:40 PM. 4:40 ? But my flight is at 4 ! Well no, seems I  was wrong. Flight is at 5! So I could actually arrived at the airport at 4 instead of 2… I really should check my tickets correctly next time!

Not a big deal though, because now I have a little more time to accomplish some outstanding work that needs to get done by tomorrow. And I have time for this blog post :-) .

When I pass through security, I beeped, even though I had no metal in me pockets. So I had the privilege of a real corporal search. The lady agent asked me if I preferred this to be performed by a man or a woman. Funny world we are living in ;-) . The good thing is, if I had something illegal on me, they would have definitely found it. Somehow I feel more secured :-) .

ImpressCMS at CMS Expo

May 1st, 2010 Marc-André 2 comments

The next few days will be awesome, I’m sure! Why ? Because, ImpressCMS will attend its very first North American conference, CMS Expo 2010 in Chicago from May 3rd to May 5th. We will have a booth there and intend to meet with as many people as possible. First, to let people know about our great Community Management System, but also to make as many connexions as possible! As I mentioned in one of the very first blog post I wrote on ImpressCMS Blog, people connecting with each other, this is the driving force of an open source project.
