Academic Tour update
Another long (but fun) Academic Tour week got to an end: UBB Cluj (last Friday), Oradea (Tuesday), Târgu-Mureş (Thursday), and UTCN Cluj (today) were the past 7 days’ events. All in all, the speeches were well received, with the only remark that in some isolated cases, part of the audience had trouble related to the topic at hand.
For instance, my presentation, being a bit more in-depth than the others, and addressing a smaller scale of the audience, was at times ill received for the sole fact that people weren’t particularly interested in the subject (most of the people in the audience were developers, not sysadmins). That’s why I got a few conflicting remarks on the feedback forms, stating, for instance, on one hand, that more examples were needed, and on the other hand, that there were too many examples.
Even so, the people seemed to have enjoyed the events, and were definitely thrilled to have attended. Right now, I’m going back to packing, since I’m leaving for StudIT in Timisoara first thing in the morning, where I’m invited as a guest speaker.
