I was fortunate enough to be able to attend Kiwi Foo Camp this week. It was a great experience and an honour to be able to meet some of the folk who are really making a difference in the tech industry in New Zealand. I'll have a full post with all my thoughts and experiences as well as some photos posted soon.
I'm in Auckland while I get my H1B renewed and I'll be on the panel at Russell Brown's The Great Blend in the Auckland Museum on Sunday evening. Cool!
In the mean time, some humour. I went to the gathering with Chris Dibona of Google's Open Source Programs office, and it was his first trip to New Zealand. Anyway Chris picked up on and I was able to introduce to him one of our interesting social undercurrents, the issue of Auckland vs. Everybody Else. This generally takes the form of residents of another city (e.g. Wellington) espousing the virtues of their city vs. Auckland, with the Aucklanders being blissfully ignorant that any other places even exist. That's a bit of hyperbole, especially with our group of techies, but you get the idea ;-)
