OpenAjax meetings

It was my great pleasure to be at the face to face OpenAjax Alliance meetings for the first time last month. Thanks to the nice people at IBM for hosting them. I really enjoyed the discussions with Alex from Dojo, Gideon from OpenSpot and many others. There were also great demos of OpenAjax-based interoperability.

It was also the occasion for me to visit New-York where I hadn't been in more than fifteen years. After the initial shock of not recognizing the skyline from the plane, which affected me more than I expected, I just realized how much I love the atmosphere of a city where people actually walk. It reminded me in a way of Paris, where I lived most of my life. Here are some pictures...

A walk in the park. The weather was mild enough to walk around without a jacket but the snow wasn't melted yet. Very nice.

Very thin ice indeed: probably no more than a few angstroms.

View from my hotel room.

 
Ice on lake Erie as seen from the plane back to Seattle. To give a sense of scale, the blocks of ice are probably about a kilometer wide each.
