HI !


So it's an annual event on three days.


I came with an OP and an iCP and spread the word here and there.


It's a very special event, in a bad manner.


The event was half the size of the previous years, and it was pretty sad, not hardware, no project that amazed me, and big stands of big sponsors, m$ and suse.


One part is dedicated to companies, and another one to associations, LUGs, foundations, etc.


Companies are here to advertise, grab customers, etc. They speak only cloud and iPhones.


They told me everything else is difficult, so useless (it requires setup). -Ahem-, yes they are supposed to be professionals.


I talked to a few of them and left this side, as i felt frustration growing in me.


The geek part was more interesting, exchanging is easier, we spoke the same language.


I offered many of the paper ads ED gave me in Ingolstadt.


An e17 guys told me it was ported to Zaxxon, but unfortunately not uploaded :/.


Also a Backtrack (btw recently ported to ARM) guy was amazed, and i'm pretty sure he's a future OP owner.


I met a first batcher still not delivered, and it was the first time he touched an OP :) .


Told him the latest news. He was on the NetBSD stand, one of my primary target.


*BSD people are always interested in niche devices, and also talented, so bringing them to our community is juicy.


And curious people, young 68000 fan, geeks of all ages and horizons.


Not what i expected from an "OP commando" point of view, but i met some good joes, and certainly convinced 3 or 4 guys to join us.
 
Yes, at le CNIT, west of Paris.


Some years it's at Porte de Versailles, southwest.
 
if you live in Paris we should organise a Pandoras in Paris meet :)
 
Yup ^^.


I have some options for this.


-At a friends cyber-taxiphone shop, a bit small.


-In a non-geek bar i know well.


-In a geek bar i never went to.
 
Just had a discussion with the Meltdown owner, he's hot for a Pandora showcase.


I just have to wait for the units i'm buying from Craig, then i'll make it.
