After a few days of time-pressured spare-time exhaustion, the www.patsoft.no site has gone live, complete with graphic design, validating HTML and a nifty PHP backend CMS. I've even got plans to release an open-source package of the CMS especially minted towards conferences and workshops.

My friend and former land-lord Jens Måge (Norway) needed a website for his upcoming conference in Oslo (Norway) on IPR (Intellectual Property Rights). If you are remotely interested in the subject of software and patents, this conference is for you. Oh, and spread the word around to others who might be.

This is the first conference in Norway about this topic, and Jens has managed to get some really exciting people to come and speak at it, such as Jon Bing (famous Norwegian professor in law), Bjørn Olstad (CTO Fast Search & Transfer ASA), Kaj Arnö (vice-president of MySQL AB), Eirik Chambe-Eng (President and co-founder of TrollTech), Håkon Wium Lie (boss and brain behind Opera, the fastest browser on earth) and a few others, all held together by the ever wonderful Eva Bratholm (top Norwegian media journalist). I'm impressed and wished I could go, as it's a topic close to my heart.
