Now I am not sure why, perhaps its proportional to the sobriety test required by police given the impervious-ness of Russians to alcohol compared with others? Anyway, like encryption - I feel we need some disclosure here from the Skep as to what characters were used and not used to ensure equivalency. Were any non English alphabet characters used - and if so where and why? Were these synchronized with the qualification scheme? Does Russia now represent an advantage? Do I need to buy a copy and learn Russian to stay equivalent?</p> Sun, 18 Apr 2010 01:38:48 +0000 ianclayton comment 6813 at http://www.itskeptic.org http://www.itskeptic.org/real-itsm-released-russian#comment-6784 <p>Oh yes, this event was real. Despite a funny introduction, the discussions which followed were quite serious. We had around 100 delegates, which is not that bad for a country with bears on the streets :-)</p> <p>A short report is available here - <a href="http://www.cleverics.ru/ru/about/news/175-aprils-fool-it-management" title="http://www.cleverics.ru/ru/about/news/175-aprils-fool-it-management" rel="nofollow">http://www.cleverics.ru/ru/about/news/175-aprils-fool-it-management</a> (yes, it's in Russian).</p> <p><img src="http://www.itskeptic.org/files/imagepicker/387/real_itsm_workshop_collage_small.jpg" alt="Image" /></p> Wed, 07 Apr 2010 09:00:00 +0000 Oleg_S comment 6784 at http://www.itskeptic.org
