Well, folk, I went yesterday to the first tradeshow for our little
industry: The Globalizing Software Conference, in San Jose, March 15-17,
1994.
Let's just say this: Numerous exhibitors told me (and in my opinion, I
agreed), that this was the worst organized trade show in our experience.
The bride was at the altar, but they forgot to invite the groom. it was
mighty emptyp in that hall.
I got to walk around and talk with each exhibitor at lenght. I made many
good contacts and shared common experiences and problems with colleages.
So it was good in this sense.
I would say that the most important piece of news is that Seth Thomas
Schneider, of Idaho, has brought his magazine up again: Multilingual
Computing. Six times yearly, contact him at 71224.1003@Compuserve.com or
call 208-263-8178 for subscribing. It's not just the articles, the tons
of information and addresses, and places, nor the ads. It's a platform on
which localizing industry can stay in touch with each other. Seth printed
10,000 copies, and he only has 400 left. The magazine should succeed this
time.
I'm writing a report for my company on the show; I'll post a short
version here in a few days.

yrs,
andreas
