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.

We arrived late last night in Münster for what had the potential of being the most taxing day of the tour, with two university talks scheduled (fortunately not back-to-back, but with a few merciful hours in-between).

After a very long train journey last night (as nice as the ICE trains are, spending almost 6 hours in one gets a bit boring, believe me) we finally had a chance for a bit of a lie-in this morning.

Well, not quite, but this trip saw us leaving Berlin just after 6 o'clock in the morning, change to a regional train around lunchtime, and then drive through beautiful Black Forest scenery on a bus to finally reach

We're two days into the
German University Tour, which sees us zig-zagging across Deutschland to cover 9 universities in 8 different cities over the course of two weeks. As my colleague
Alexandra and I are now packing up for our second destination, it seems an appropriate time to say goodbye to Berlin and to give a quick recap of the tour so far.

Opera goes to Germany to visit 10 universities in 7 cities. On Tuesday Håkon and I (Bernd) started with Freie Universität Berlin and Universität Paderborn.
We enjoyed meeting students from these two universities. During the seminar in Berlin students asked questions regarding the differences between open source versus open standards, semantic Web, printable HTML and more. Furthermore we handed out our funky Opera notepads for the first time, and they were very popular! (Check them out in the picture, right.)
In Paderborn we held a colloquium for faculty staff and students. With more than 100 attendees coming along to the event, we had to move the whole crowd to a bigger room. After the talk we took more than 30 minutes to discuss the numerous questions from both professors and students, which was very interesting! Afterwards, some students joined us for a meet-up where discussions could continue in an informal setting.
Highlights of the day (outside the seminars and meet-up, of course!) were finding a subway station called 'Osloer Straße' and a HTC commercial mentioning Opera Mobile 9.5. My quote of the day came from one of the feedback forms that we gave to the students at the seminars: "Thanks for the great presentation!"
We are looking forward to more discussions and interesting input from students and university staff, all across Germany
