I was at the RedHat Partner Forum in Cannes (France) between the 26th and 28th of April.

A realy nice event with some big-boss from RedHat. The event was reserved only to RedHat Advanced Partners, and we were guest in Sofitel Mediterrane in Cannes during the event.

The event started with a cocktail on the 7th floor at 7:00 PM, that continued until night, among drinks and alcoholics… (snack, music, girls, rock and roll, and so on…)

In the next morning, at 8.00 AM, I had breakfast (french croissants and toast with honey) with some friends from Bristol and London.

After a boring kick-off (only 4 hours during the morning), the partners were divided into different teams for sailing activities planned for the afternoon.
The sailing regatta started at 2.00 PM with 5 boats, but after few minutes our skipper offered us some beer and some strange cocktails, and the result was clear: we arrived last at the finish line

In the evening we left Cannes to go to a small town in Provence for a great french dinner (based on “foie gras” and another heavy dishes…). I spent much time talking to Netherlands and French partners.
The last day of the event started with a round-table workshop with RedHat managers and regional partners: the goal waas to find some suggestions that could help RedHat and Partners businnes in different countries.

The morning ended with bowl activities and a “light” lunch in a resturant placed on the croisettes.

Funny and profitable event

This week I had to teach Java J2EE tecnology to realy good students in Torino. Tomcat, Struts and Java Web Applications were the focus of the course. A good occasion to visit Torino, a big industrial city in Italy.

After a day of hard working, we finished the new infrastructure for Matteo based on RedHat Enterprise Linux servers and shared network storage.

All machines are located into Fastweb Main webfarm in Milan…

Working in a webfarm is quite difficult, because there’s too much noise, and the temperature is too cold.

Matteo: have a lot of fun and good luck!
