Zürich

A few weeks ago I got an invitation to visit Switch, the Swiss registry (.ch and .li), to have a talk at their seminar regarding the marketing aspects of DNSSEC. As this is one of my favourite subjects I gladly accepted the offer. The seminar was scheduled for the seventh of October and as it started quite early in the morning I left on the eve of the sixth.

At the airport I met up with Anne-Marie Löwinder (AMEL), the quality and security manager of .SE (the internet infrastructure foundation). She had been asked to have her own talk about the registry aspects of DNSSEC at the same seminar. When we arrived in Zürich Marco and Samuel from Switch was there to greet us with a nice dinner at one of the many resturants serving Swiss specialities.

The seminar went great and I got a lot of positive feedback from the audience along with a box of Swiss truffles for my troubles. Its always nice with some appreciation. Later on that evening Switch had arranged a dinner for all of the participants from the seminar. It gave me a nice opportunity to talk with the crowd and the evening was very nice overall.

The morning after was just a bit less exiting including getting up a lot earlier the usual and going to the airport to catch a fight home to Sweden. All and all, the trip was really nice and while being mostly about work it gave me a nice breather from the office air.

I would like to recommend all of you to take the time to visit Zürich once in you life, preferably during the warm season. It has some wonderful canals to walk along and the lake is beautiful with the surrounding mountains.
