But I&rsquo;ve been very busy lately and I have to process my backlog of work, including new updates to this website. After all, they say &ldquo;better late than never&rdquo;...<br /> So, here we go: the 2008 edition of the Devoxx conference (formely JavaPolis: by the way, why the heck did Sun have this name changed?) was held (as usual) in Antwerp, Belgium, from December 10th to 12th, after the two-day Devoxx University. <br /> This was my second time at Devoxx, after 2006 when I had managed to take part as a speaker (having held a BoF together with my ol&rsquo; pal Fabrizio Giudici ).<br /> <br /> Click on the link below for the full report.<br /> </div><p><a href="http://www.bloomingstars.com:80/2009/01/22/1232608380000.html">Read more...</a></p> Software Hot News http://www.bloomingstars.com:80/2009/01/22/1232608380000.html#comments http://www.bloomingstars.com:80/2009/01/22/1232608380000.html Thu, 22 Jan 2009 07:13:00 GMT http://www.bloomingstars.com:80/2008/04/24/1208990640000.html <div align="center"><img alt="" src="/images/iayc_2008/IAYC_BIG_resized.jpg" /><br /> <br /> <div align="justify">From July 20th to August 9th, 2008, the 44th IAYC (International Astronomical Youth Camp) will take place in Sayda, Germany. I myself took part in these camps six times between 1991 and 1999, and in my opinion there is no better place where one can find such an ideal and balanced mix between science, friendship and amusement. The editions I participated in account for some of my nicest memories in my life. So, I am more than glad to put an &quot;advertisement&quot; (or, better, endorsement) on my website.

Io stesso ho partecipato a sei di questi campi giovanili internazionali tra il 1991 e il 1999, e secondo me non esiste posto dove trovare un mix migliore tra scienza, divertimento e amicizia. Delle edizioni a cui ho preso parte conservo alcuni tra i pi&ugrave; bei ricordi della mia vita.
