Today I had some good chances to promote TikiWiki. WINE-guys liked it since yesterday, at the PHProjekt booth a guy appeared and wanted to something for what Tiki is better suited than PHProjekt and in the cafeteria I had a lengthy talk with a guy wanting to do a webportal for seniors.
Though I seem to be a little too honest to people being 'in the business', when talking about our problems, they immediately shut up, when I talk about our references! ;)
Yep, Microsoft does something called "Microsoft Windows Services for Unix", now released in Version 3.5. They run their own Unix kernel in parallel to the Windows kernel and they share things like the I/O system, the Security subsystem, etc. I don't need this thing, but it is gorgeous! The guy presenting it to me ran a Windows-program on the bash and piped it to less. You can even use shared memory between Windows and Unix. Weird.....
Today was the release party of PHProjekt 5. Got to know most people of the company I think, including a pretty young guy who does custom work for a bank. Best of the release party was nonetheless the talk. The guy showed forum posts with opinions on the new release that arrived directly after the release and he only showed bad ones! That was a brave but very, very good move! I liked it! :)
So, as I promised yesterday, I went to the WINE-booth to see WINE-tools - a great package. This university teacher is a really nice guy! His WINE didn't work correctly, people around him were stressing him, but he stayed ulta-cool. :) That was exactly how he appeared to me yesterday, but to see him in 'not'-action was actually much better! He's zen! ;)
