I participated online in the conference „Functional Scala 2020“ in London. That it was in London had mostly one relevance, which was the time zone. There was no physical location and all talks were done online. An interesting idea was a virtual location. It consisted of rooms and we could move a dot representing ourselves …

Devoxx UA
Most conferences have been cancelled, since it is difficult to hold a conference these days. The idea to move the conference online has been obviously around, but it was rejected by most organizers, because it it not the same and the all important chance to meet other people is just not the same. So the …
ScalaUA 2020
I like visiting ScalaUA conference in Kiev every year in March or April. I did so in 2017, 2018 and 2019. So for 2020 it was kind of difficult to perform a regular conference. So there are two options, either it could have been cancelled or it could have been postponed. That is what all …

Of course a large part of the conference was related to ZIO, which seems to be a part of the eco system surrounding Scala with a lot …
Visit to reClojure in London 2019
On 2019-12-02 I visited the conference reClojure. This was an admirable community effort to create a replacement for ScalaExchange, which simply did not happen because of the bankruptcy of Skillsmatter. There was only one track, so the schedule is exactly what I visited. I will just copy it below, because schedules from conference sites usually …
Devoxx UA and Devoxx BE 2019
In 2019 I visited Devoxx UA in Kiev and Devoxx BE in Antwerp. Traveling was actually a little story by itself, so for now we can just assume that I magically was at the locations of DevoxxUA and DevoxxBE. In Kiew I attended the following talks: Probabilistic data structures in nutshell (in Ukrainian) [Oleksandra Kulyk] …
Travelling to Devoxx UA and Devoxx BE 2019
Travelling to this years Devoxx conferences is worth its own short article, even though it is not very IT oriented material… On the last weekend in October I brought a bicycle to a place near Frankfurt, let’s call it FrankfurtE. I took the train to Karlruhe and then back from FrankfurtE, but cycled from Karlsruhe …
Company „Skillsmatter“ stops operations
The company Skillsmatter in London has been put „under administration“ and basically stopped its operations. The web site seems to suggest, that everything is still ok, but that is not the case and I have heard so from several sources. The owner Wendy Devolder writes on Twitter and on Linkedin. Or here are some more …
