One of the audiences who attended “My First Public Presentation
in United States of America” delivered on July 25,2001
on Cocoon made this posting on the Phoenix Java Users Group
Well Gops was
the first Indian to deliver a seminar at the Phoenix Java and XML
Special Interest Group. There were 5 people who delivered the speech,
4 were Americans, 5th was me. The audiences were CEOs, CTOs, software
developers, 95%Americans, and 5%Indians. The time was 6:30pm,Wednesday
July 25,2001.Heres how my presentation started: “Well, this
is my first presentation in United States. I don’t really know
how well I can present but I will do my BEST this evening here”.
I was very Happy
when the President of SIG Audree Thurman told me “I
never thought you were such a GOOD SPEAKER” and shook
hands with me.
On Thursday
morning, I was working in the company when Clive came to me and
said, "did you read the news?"I said about what? then
he said "Come with me" and took me to his computer and
asked me to read the paragraph which appeared in the Phoenix Mailing
list(just like you have newspaper to read news, you have a Mailing
list on computer and you read it in your email).The message read:
“I
saw some pretty amazing presentations last night at the JUG (Java
Users Group). One such, in particular, was the gentleman who gave
the Cocoon presentation. I got the impression he is still a student
at ASU. His presentation was stellar and I'd hire him in a heartbeat
if I was an owner of a company and could care less if he does not
have any "paid" experience”.

additional insight
Another guy:
"Some
developers like the one at ASU you brought up have a knack for it
and are born problem solvers”.
Really ONE of
the Happiest Moments in my Life.
