Patrick Tisseghem

Roberdan — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 10:13:58 GMT

It is with deepest regret that we have to announce the death of Patrick Tisseghem, co-founder of U2U. Patrick suddenly passed away on Wednesday 3 September 2008 around 18 hours in Gothenburg Sweden due to a heart failure. Our sympathy and thoughts go out to his wife Linda, their daughters Anahi and Laura, and to his family. We are all deeply saddened by this tragic loss. We remember him as caring father as well as a driven and warm hearted colleague and friend. We miss you Patrick.

I had a chat with Patrick last Saturday morning and was supposed that we have another call today. I’m so sad :-(

My Team, my extended family, my pleasure

L’Arte di Imparare

Roberdan — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 16:21:29 GMT

[Contesto]: ieri (20.06.2008) ero a [Londra] per fare la review [valutazione FY08] col mio capo [JW]

[Evento]: parte di coaching del processo di review. Chiedete a Pierg se volete sapere nel dettaglio di cosa si tratta

[Conclusione]: [Definizione di “Management”] =

[“

Investire Tempo

sulle Persone

Gestendo

le Eccezioni,

massimizzando il ritorno degli investimenti di tempo

E

Riapplicando/Replicando/Delegando

gli insegnamenti quotidiani.

Quindi

L’ARTE DI IMPARARE.

”]

PS: e poi vi chiedete perchè la gente non mette i tag sui sistemi di collaborazione? perchè è una gran rottura di scatole senza beneficio a breve termine. Quindi pls smettete di lamentarvi che nessuno usa i tag e dormiteci sopra: si può vivere anche senza.

O, poi, ovviamente se volete comprarli (e quindi volete pagare anche per questo…) fate pure, li possiamo fare a prezzo molto contenuto, praticamente lo 0,1% di quello che spendereste comunque per giustificare le analisi sbagliate che qualcuno vi ha fatto…e voi gli avete pagato :-)
-come prima, se volete capire questa frase, Pierg ve lo può spiegare benissimo e poi potrete parlarne con Max per esempio, che ve lo confermerà e Bertrand, che è il più sveglio di tutti noi/voi messi insieme, vi dimostrerà che sareste potuti arrivare alla stessa conclusione 3 mesi fa, semplicemente fidandovi del vostro istinto. E mentre tutto ciò accade,qualcuno si godrà tutto questo spettacolo, ridendo delle umane vanità. Thx Magister ;-)

[Next steps: Actions, Ownership, Deadline, Risk Mitigation]

fare post di review del FY08 nelle seguenti versioni:

versione light, in Italiano. leggibile da chiunque da pubblicare sul blog msdn. stile novella 2000 perchè tanto questo è quello che la gente si aspetta da post di tipo generico.
tempo richiesto: 30 minuti. tool: Windows Live Writer. processo: quando c’ho voglia. priorità: bassa
considerazione: forse sto sottovalutando quanta gente legge questo blog….decisamente. sorry.

versione solid: formato Word/email, in inglese per la comunità. palloso fare report che non interessano a nessuno (e non ho voglia di fare :-)) e trasformarlo in alcune storie: questi account, gestiti da queste persone ci hanno ingaggiato e poi insieme abbiamo fatto. la vendita è costata x ed il valore è stato di y. storie, persone, fatti. esempio Reportage di viaggio: persone, emozioni, storie, foto.

versione executive: 5 righe massimo. perchè è stato un anno fantastico e quindi gli obiettivi aziendali raggiunti. vista da 10.000 m quindi importante capire l’impatto sul resto dell’organizzazione di quello che è stato fatto, in termini positivi e negativi. l’imperativo è: NO SORPRESE. se è 5 dimmi che è 5, se è 50 dimmi che è 50. se non sei sicuro dimmi: “non sono sicuro”. se devi andar piano stattene a casa, se devi andar veloce per rompere le scatole stattene a casa lo stesso

Versione intervista: all’evento del primo luglio bisogna fare foto, video, interviste. ci vorrebbe Paolo [interruzione quindi non mi ricordo più che altro dovevo aggiungere a questo post :(]. ho appena mandato una mail a Paolo, vediamo se può mandarmi qualcuno per il primo luglio. tempo, sempre una questione di tempo e di soldi. ma quelli di solito si rimediano, c’è sempre qualcuno pronto a comprar qualcosa…il problema è il tempo di vendita. mi ci vorrebbe una settimana per convincere Paolo ad investire in quest’idea…il problema è che son troppo stanco per trovare il tempo.

2. Deadline 1 luglio 08. tempo a disposizione 1 settimana, 5 giorni lavorativi, 40 ore da trovare on top al lavoro normale.

alto rischio. come mitigare: comunque andrà bene perchè già quello che abbiamo è molto e di valore

mitigazione: delegare.

3. Owner: Roberdan

4. Pro: Impatto

5. Costo: fatica

6. Soluzione Possibile? Si

[Saved on 21/6/2008. Draft 3.15pm. Words 598 excluding signature tag]

[Add-on e raccomandazione]: Domande frequenti quando si organizza un’evento: aeroporti, taxi, visti di ingresso, hotel, distanza dall’ufficio, tempi, orari, zero sorprese. stampabili. l’ho fatto abbastanza bene credo ma è stata fortuna.

"The Exchange Web Client" was the first web email client produced by Microsoft. It had an interesting green and black color scheme but it did most of the basic needs for doing messaging. We didn't have enough time to add calendaring support in the first version. What we did in this first version was the first step in what has now become a new way of building web applications."

Nokia to bring Microsoft Silverlight powered experiences to millions of mobile users

Roberdan — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 11:09:00 GMT

March 04, 2008

Extends choice for developers on the world's leading mobile platforms

Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced plans to make Microsoft Silverlight available for S60 on Symbian OS, the world's leading smartphone software(1), as well as for Series 40 devices and Nokia Internet tablets. Adding support for Silverlight will extend opportunities for developers to create rich, interactive applications that run on multiple platforms in a consistent and reliable way.

"Today's consumers are very clear in what they want: easy access to tightly integrated services and data on any device," said Lee Williams, Senior Vice President in Nokia's Devices software organization. "Nokia's software strategy is based on cross-platform development environments, enabling the creation of rich applications across the Nokia device range. Nokia aims to support market leading and content rich internet application environments and to embrace and encourage open innovation. By working with Microsoft, we are creating terrific opportunities and additional choices for the development community, S60 licensees and the industry as a whole."

Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering next-generation media experiences and rich interactive applications. Silverlight is already powering thousands of applications around the world and organizations including Entertainment Tonight, the NBA and NBC Universal to deliver superior Web-based experiences to their customers. The arrangement with Nokia will substantially extend the reach of Silverlight by making the platform available for hundreds of millions of devices, including S60 on Symbian smartphones from a range of manufacturers, as well as Nokia Series 40 devices and Nokia Internet tablets.

"This is an important relationship on so many levels. Working with Nokia means we are easily able to reach a huge number of mobile users, including customers of all S60 licensees. This is a significant step in gaining broad acceptance for Silverlight and ensuring it is platform agnostic. This is critical since we want to make sure developers and designers don't have to constantly recreate the wheel and build different versions of applications and services for multiple operating systems, browsers and platforms," said S. Somasegar, Senior Vice President of Microsoft's Developer Division.

"There is clear market demand for rich, Web-based services across a variety of device types, but developing these can often be commercially difficult. For Microsoft this extends Silverlight to a broader range of vendors, platforms and devices. For Nokia it expands the web runtime options on its devices, enabling a wider community of developers and more applications. This should help the uptake of higher speed mobile services and advance a new era of anytime, anywhere device-based computing", said Bola Rotibi , Principal Analyst at Ovum.

Microsoft will demonstrate Silverlight on S60 during the opening keyote at Microsoft's MIX08 conference on March 5 in Las Vegas. Silverlight is intended to be available to S60 developers later this year with initial service delivery anticipated shortly thereafter for all S60 licensees. This will allow S60 application developers to use an even wider range of development environments for S60 on Symbian OS than today. Today S60 developers can use: C++ (using native Symbian OS APIs and Open C providing subset of standard POSIX libraries), S60 Web Run-time (supporting standards-based web technologies such as Ajax, JavaScript, CSS and HTML), the Java(TM) language, Flash Lite from Adobe, and Python.

But following the strategic review that commenced two years ago the company made a strategic switch to the rival Microsoft .NET camp. According to chief executive Winston Teperson, things have never been better.
