Ah oui, Paris. Une version en francais ci-bas.
David Elfassy here, MCT and MVP from Montreal, Canada.
Well, this is where we started our day today, waking up at 5:00AM in our comfortable bus. (video of the interior of the bus coming soon.) We then headed to La Defense (where the beautiful Arche de La Defense is located) to see our gracious hosts for our event at EduGroupe, a Paris CPLS. Then it was all about Windows 7, Windows 2008 R2 and my personal favorite, Exchange Server 2010 :). It was actually funny listening about those "We re migrating from Lotus Notes to Exchange" stories. As a North-America based "Exchange guy", I rarely hear anything about Lotus Notes, but I always knew that they had a lot of deployments in France. I have to admit that I have a pretty easy job though, getting people excited about Exchange 2010 is pretty easy. It practically sells itself !!! :) And I got to present in French, which would make my family proud.
So how did we end our day? A walk through the Champs-Elysees, a classic french diner at La Duree and then we got on a cab, to go the airport, to catch our bus, that will get on a train, that will go through a tunnel under the sea... to London! (This could make a great Country song.)
Et en francais (sans les accents :() Aujourd hui, nous avons commencer notre journee dans un petit hotel en dehors de Paris. Pour apres prendre la route vers nos hotes pour la journee, nos amis chez EduGroupe, un centre de formation IT a La Defense. Pour nous, c etait tres interessant de rencontrer nos clients Francais et de pouvoir repondre a leur questions technique. Les presentations etaient plein d interet et de questions. Vraiment une belle experience, et pour moi qui a presenter sur Windows 2008 R2 et Exchange 2010, c est toujours amusant de presenter en Francais. (Meme si de temps en temps, j utilise trop de mots anglais :))
A la prochaine Paris!
