Hi everyone,

I know this is summer time and all that (for those not living down-under, of course), plus Agile 2008 is probably more on your mind than CITCON.

Anyway, I thought I'd give you an update on CITCON Amsterdam. Mostly because I have things to show! ;-)

The registrations are almost as high as they were eventually for CITCON Brussels... a good two months earlier!
I've good a nice looking trend chart here:

Another thing about CITCON Europe is that countries of origin are much more diverse than for North America or Australia (as you would expect).
How diverse? well I've got more charts for you!

• http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pHhLNcSMCgyng7JTdwv8dJQ&oid=3&output=image shows the countries of origin for Amsterdam
• http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pHhLNcSMCgyng7JTdwv8dJQ&oid=4&output=image is the same chart for Brussels last year

You'll notice that the charts are remarkably similar, except that Belgians have swapped proportions with the Dutch. We have the same proportion of UKish, less French (so far! I haven't started telling about it here), and more people from a variety of countries such as Poland and Russia.

This is all looking good!
