It seems I’m on a blogging spree the last few days… This is not without reason. One of our key activities at JTeam is to tell the world about what we’re doing. We’ve always been present at various conferences, both as speakers and as attendees and various people have always blogged about what they were up to. Recently, we decided to set up a company blog. We successfully used a company blog at SpringSource to communicate all things relevant to us and the community, varying from technical articles, to entries about our strategy.
I’m in no way aiming to get the JTeam blog as many readers as the SpringSource blog, but it’s very nice to have a central communication mechanism to let you know what we’re up to. Then again, I guess I don’t have to convince you of the power of blogs now, do I?
Another thing we’ve always done and are just now starting to give a little bit more attention is the occasional event where we share our ideas and discuss things with clients and other interested parties.
Our latest initiative in this area is the Search Symposium we are organizing in the beginning of June. I just blogged about this and if you’re interested in this symposium, please continue to read there.
Last but not least, yesterday I got in touch with an old friend at the Financiële Dagblad (the Dutch version of the Financial Times). He did a short interview with me about my move to JTeam and what I’ve been up to in the last ten years. He was triggered by my LinkedIn profile that (since ages) starts with: “In 2002 Joost van de Wijgerd and me set out on a journey to rule the Enterprise Open Source world”. He was curious about whether or not I thought I succeeded… I think this has been the first time my name turns up on a newspaper that is not dedicated to technology and I was quite happy with that (not with the picture that he put in, but then again, I didn’t have anything else available yesterday). Unfortunately I can’t copy the article here, you’d have to buy the paper to see what awful picture is in there 
Okay, that’s it for the week… It seems the wind is picking up, so I’m going to pack my gear now and race to the for a quick kite session…
