Good news: we can have a room at the FHT for the
evenings, thanks to Prof. Hauber. The faculty is
close by the conference center, see
http://www.hft-stuttgart.de/Hochschule/wirueberuns/Lageplan/
It's right below the "ApacheCon" sign in the map
http://apachecon.com/2005/EU/images/Stuttgart-Plan_gross.gif
We'll need to decide when we'll meet.
Prof. Hauber works in the area oif Internet Technologies,
Web Programming, Web Content Management Systems, and
Open Source Software. One special interest is in Apache
(he'll try to join the conference).
Please pass on my personal thanks to Prof. Hauber. If I remember
correctly Prof. Hauber and I met whilst I was working in in Trinidad and
Tobago (if so I'll be remembered best as the "Englishman at UWI", a
stuck out a little like that :-)). I hope we get the opportunity to meet
again.
(UWI = University of the West Indies)
Prof. Hauber, and his university, have a valuable set of experiences
with respect to the use of Open Source and its utilisation within the
educational arena. We should seek to benefit from these experiences.
Apache Forrest is a valuable asset in the educational arena (that is why
I started using Forrest and why I started the related
http://www.burrokeet.org project).
Regarding his personal interests I remember them as being in
cryptography and security, maybe he has changed direction a little, or
maybe there are two Prof. Haubers, we'll soon know.
Oh yeah, and a big thank you to Johannes for coordinating this.
