Visiting Liferay Madrid

One of the nice things about working for Liferay is the flexibility I have in where I can work.  Though originally from LA, my wife and I currently live in the UK and I work from home in the UK.  While this is great for many reasons, it is also really hard to collaborate with colleagues.

Well, this past week, I had the great privilege of spending some focused time with my superstar colleagues in Liferay Madrid.  In particular, it allowed me to work closely with Sergio in hammering out some critical engineering for Document Library for 6.1, including a more flexible paradigm for mounting multiple repositories (in particular, CMIS), and have some really good discussions with Julio for some other design work.  Overall, it was an incredibly productive time and these Spaniards have been really hospitable to me.

Here's a few shots... the office:

And, of course, tapas y cañas!!

 Hasta luego, Madrid!
