Enterprise Geeks Go To Madrid

Thomas Jung — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 15:48:48 +0000

Just a little reminder that we will be slightly off our regular podcast schedule because of the up coming SAP TechEd/SAPPHIRE Madrid. We didn’t record a podcast this week because of all the preparations for next week.

Rich Heilman and myself will be at TechEd Madrid next week. We will be recording two live podcasts during the week. The first will be recorded during the Enterprise Geeks dinner on Tuesday, November 8th. The other will be recorded on the show floor in Community Lounge #7 on Thursday, November 10th from 13:30-14:00. Everyone is invited to join either recording and share you thoughts on the event. Depending upon the availability of WIFI at the event, we will attempt to get these recordings posted as soon as possible during the week.

Also a special thanks to Christian Braukmüller for creating the Madrid version of the Enterprise Geeks banner, which we will use on all SAP TechEd/SAPPHIRE Madrid related postings.

EnterpriseGeeks Annual TechEd Dinner

Rich Heilman — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 21:27:29 +0000

Ok EgHeads, its that time again. Since Tom was the only founding member of the EnterpriseGeeks at the SAP TechEd in Las Vegas, we decided to have the annual TechEd dinner in Madrid this year where we will have at least 2 founding members, Tom and I. Anyway, we asked for some suggestions, and Martin Lang has come through with a really good one I think. That’s right, another meat feast it will be. Join us on Tuesday, November 8th at around 10:00pm at El Rodizio. Once again, it is a Brazilian style steakhouse sort of like Fogo de Chao, where we visited in Phoenix a couple years back. You can find directions from the conference center to the restaurant here. Please RSVP using the registration link here. This will give us a better idea of who is coming, and how many I should make the reservation for. See you all there!

UPDATE: Apparently, it would be better to have dinner just before bed so that all that meat can sit in our stomachs throughout the night with no way to burn it off till morning, so lets move the time to 10:00pm

UPDATE: Yes, another one. So we are moving our dinner to Tuesday night, November 8th at 10:00pm to accomodate people who want to attend other events on Wednesday night.

Enterprise Geeks Podcast Postponed

Thomas Jung — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 15:25:31 +0000

I’m afraid that due to all the wedding related activities this past weekend (both Dan McWeeney’s and my brother’s), we will not release a podcast today. Instead we will record later this week and have one podcast that spans this week and the next. Just to let everyone know, here are some of the topics we are going to discuss on this week’s recording:

Amazon Fire tablet and the Silk browser – impact to the Enterprise?
Oracle Open World
Apple announcement - we don’t know what they will reveal, but we’re betting we will want to talk about it anyway
The upgrade of my ABAP NSP system from 7.02 to 7.31

TechEd Enterprise Geeks Dinner 2011

Thomas Jung — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 13:29:23 +0000

A few people have asked what we plan to do about the annual Enterprise Geeks dinner at TechEd this year. I’m afraid I have good news and bad news on that topic.

First the bad news: we are not planning to have an Enterprise Geeks organized dinner at TechEd Las Vegas this year. I will be the only one of the Enterprise Geeks founding members in attendance at TechEd Las Vegas this year. Let’s face it, without Rich’s leadership on getting the Buffet planning going, it becase less and less likely that we would be able to have the dinner. Add to that the fact that the podcast won’t be restarting until our first live recording from TechEd Las Vegas and we were left with little chance to promote the dinner. I still plan to go to the buffet at the Wynn before the concert on Thursday night if anyone wants to join me, but we won’t be trying to reserve a big block of tables as in years past.

Now the good news: for the first time we will be brining the Enterprise Geeks dinner to TechEd in Europe. Both Rich and I will be there and we are already starting planning for the dinner. We are open to suggestions, especially from anyone who lives or who has travelled to Madrid. Since TechEd Madrid doesn’t occur until November, this should give us plenty of time to plan.

So while plans didn’t allow us to continue this tradition in Las Vegas this year, we are bringing the fabled Enterprise Geeks dinner to a new geography this year. With any luck we will be able to have the dinner across all TechEd locations some day.
