I am stepping down as the ‘User Group Manager’ of the Adobe User Group Geneva. It was a great time for me being a UGM, Adobe really cares about us and the community, I have an incredible collection of Adobe’s T-Shirt :p.

I’m very proud of the growth of AUGG, we started in November 2006 with 5 members, today we are around 80 members. I had the opportunity to meet some of the best developers and designers from Geneva and the ‘Romandie’, participating to great meeting (the best one must have been the venue of Mike Chambers and Lee Brimelow) and also had some hangover ;)

I resigned from my current role at MBA-Exchange.com & Careernomics.com, where I had also a great time and a great first full time professional experience.

Now I’m moving, early August, to Zurich, Switzerland biggest city with around 1,5 millions inhabitants :)

I have been enrolled at Microsoft (Unified Communication) as a ‘Software Development Engineer in Test’, which is an entry position in Microsoft empire. I’m really looking forward to all the knowledge I’ll be able to gather there and working with the team. I have already started learning C# and Visual Studio 2008 and my first impression is to enter in a serious coding experience :)

Thanks to everyone from the AUGG and thanks to the MBAx team :)

Meeting June 10th
Comme convenu lors de notre dernière rencontre, la date pour la prochaine AUGG à été fixé au mardi 10 juin 2008 à 18:30 chez nos amis des Nomades.

Le programme sortira un peu de l’ordinaire avec une présentation de Florian Egger (PhD in Human-Computer Interaction), qui est Usability & User Experience Consultant, créateur de Telono.com. Il nous fera une présentation sur l’ergo Informatique (l’érgonomie appliqué à l’informatique).

Je ferais la deuxième présentation sur le même sujet mais appliqué aux SWF.

Après les présentations, pizzas et Limoncello :-)
