After almost two weeks on the road, the end is nearly in sight. We arrived at the
Technical University Dortmund for the last scheduled talk of the tour. And, for once, this was a university where we already had an active
Campus Crew present, which really made this also the best stop of the tour.

After a long round of preparation we are ready to go to Germany. This would be the second unitour to Germany.

We are going to visit 8 cities, 9 universities, attend 2 events and organize two community meet-ups. The speaker this time will be Patrick Lauke. Patrick works as Web Evangelist in the Developer Relations team. In a previous life, he was Web Editor for the University of Salford, where he headed a small central web team. In 2003 he implemented one of the first web standards based XHTML/CSS driven UK university sites.
If you are around these cities and would like to learn more about webstandards, mobile internet, cross device web technologies and get a nice Opera T-Shirt or would like just join us for a free beer at the community meet-up we would be very pleased

Here is our program:
