Open Source Conference in Sendai

snowflake presents todoyu in Sendai

Less then 2 weeks after the stable version of todoyu 2.0 has been released, snowflake was presenting the new software to the Japanese open source audience in Sendai, Nothern Japan.

At OSC (Open Source Conference) Sendai, we were also presenting TYPO3 as well as Magento at the snowflake booth.

By bullet train to Sendai

Adrian and me were going together to Sendai. To be able to setup the booth before the conference started at 10am, we both get up at around 4.30am and took the Shinkansen for the 400km travel up north from Tokyo. With speed up to 270km/h, the train "flight" took only 1h and 45min. There are even double decker bullet trains, called MAX.

Booth Setup

Arrived at the Tohoku Computer College in Sendai, we started to setup the booth.

Good crowd

The conference started at 10am, and there were already people coming along. Sometimes we had a large crowd around the booth listening to my presentation and ask questions. Checking the time... it was already 2pm.

Most people of course asked about the Japanese translation for todoyu. It was our goal to find interested open source enthusiasts to support or make the translation. Also we were searching ways to start a todoyu community in Japan.

Japanese handouts

We printed 500 copies of the Japanese handout... and they were like flying. Even OSC Sendai was not a major open source conference in Japan, but more than 350 flyers we could distribute on one day.

Will also the number of todoyu downloads increase? Let's see.
