It's 16 of september. We arrived in a special day; the day that the cows are moved from the
top of the mountains to the bottom of the mountains. In the begging,
It was strange for me to listen, during the dinner of the last night,
some people screaming high, but It was a local and traditional
comemoration.
I wake up a bit early (duo I'm still being used to the timezone) and
when I decided to open my room window I see what is Alberschwende. The
city is small and nice. We have some houses spread arround where we
are and lots of mountain arround everything. The landscape is quite
nice and I only can list the cows bells and some cars passing on the
street.
The sprint begings just after we have breakfast. Since the beggining,
I was asked to talk about archetypes and calendaring and after, I was
"invited" to get a team of arround 10 begginers and teach them the
basics about Plone, ZPT, i18n, Archetypes and ArchGenXML. In the end,
I can say that It was a really good experience for me, because It was
my first time teaching in English and, for my own surprise, everybody
liked and learned a lot (included myself). I believe that, the fact
that nobody there was native English speakers helped me... well... at
least a bit. The point here is that I proved to myself that I can do
eficient communication in a foreign language for hours. So, that's
time to learn a third language (and... why not German :-)
The day ended really fast. When I see, I didn't had to time read my
emails or even call to my mother. Before sleep I called to her in his
job and now, I'm only worried about tomorrow, where I'm planning to
start to write code for a Meeting Scheduling Engine for Plone 2. Let's
see what happens.
