[OOP 2009] Teamwork Prevails

TEAM: -- Together Everyone Achieves More

The pressure that built up before the OOP is finally gone and I am looking forward to the next one. We took some risks with different formats of presentations and also extending the conference into the area of "soft skills", but (judging by the feedback) both of those were well accepted.

I really appreciate the teamwork-atmosphere of the OOP. Not only of the speakers and the SIGS-DATACOM team but also of the attendees. There is such an open and trustful atmosphere at the OOP -- it is a real pleasure to be a part of it and feel comfortable enough to try new ideas there.

In particular, I hope the participants benefitted from the "soft skills" topics so that they learned some techniques how to convince their colleagues and management to try new ("hard skills") technology ideas.

Best regards,
