The 7th European Tcl/Tk Users Meeting took place June 6/7, 2008 (Fri/Sat) at the IGBMC (Institut de Genetique et Biologie Moleculaire et Cellulaire), Strasbourg France. The web site for registration and abstract submission is at http://www.eurotcl.org/ . [Luc Moulinier] is the local organizer, [Jean Muller], [David Zolli], Michel Salvagnac and [Gerard Sookahet] prepared the conference. Gerard also made the web site. ---- For feedback/suggestions or answers to any questions, please mail me at [mailto:luc.moulinier@igbmc.fr]. ---- [Paul Obermeier] 2008/06/08 Thanks to the above mentioned organizers for the excellent preparation and organization of the conference. I enjoyed the two days very much. [RS] 2008-06-09: I have to agree fully. Here are my notes: * Thursday evening: rain in the city, nice hotel Couvent des Franciscains (12 Tclers stay there!), first meeting at l' Ancienne Douane - we start half an hour late, but have good fun, food & beverages. * Friday: Tclers' breakfast in the hotel, then (very modern) tram to Illkirch. The institute is a fantastic building, all glass front, out in the greens. Registration: about 30 participants. [OLPC] is demonstrated, including the Tcl/Tk port on it. At the start of my presentation on "Tcl on the phone", I managed to bluescreen the Vista PC by USB-plugging the phone, but after reboot, it went well - the 7 cm (diagonal) display was projected on 5 m display! Great lunch at Foyer des Pecheur, leads to delayed conference schedule and some listeners (me included) concentrating on digestion as well as the presentations. In the evening: conference dinner at La Bourse: simple but plentiful, flammee in various flavors (Chevre was best!), Picon & wine. * Saturday: more of the tight schedule. [Jan Nijtmans] reports on the history of [Img], [jcw] on "rigs" for standardized interface to small modules (without version control). Lunch in the institute, delicious shrimp salad & noodles from square plastic plates. Many discussions - Germans were the biggest group, French came second, then Dutch, British, Greek. Chances that IGBMC may host next year's conference too.. enthusiastic reactions. Maybe a half day longer, with tutorial and industry presentations, to find more interest with local students? [schlenk] 2008-06-09: I fully agree with Richard and Paul, excellent organisation, very pretty city and interesting talks. ---- [Martyn Smith] I know this is very late but I finally had a little spare time this weekend, I have put online an annotated photo of (almost all) of the participants ! go to this page and choose the best way to view it [http://martyn.a.smith.googlepages.com/home]. !!!!!! %| [Tcl Conferences] |% !!!!!!
