I really don't know the guys on this video, I know his hame is Charlie and based on their conversation I assume they work on the Citrix education group, maybe they don't even work for Citrix, however this is by far the best video explaining the Citrix Presentation Server -> XenApp name change I've seen.

I guess keeping it simple and using a whiteboard helps alot!

PS. Charlie, nice work!

OMG! This is way too funny. I really don't know who's behind the Caveman mask, but this video is just hilarious.

I can't help notice Derek trying not to laugh - standing on the corner while the "caveman" dances and talks about XenDesktop. LOL

cheers,
Gus

Geek Speak made to several news site (view) this week when we officially announced Geek Speak Live as part of Synergy this year.

-- 

Geek Speak Live!, the ultimate un-conference at Citrix Synergy 2008 where tech experts, industry analysts and bloggers take the reins - picking discussion topics and facilitating the sessions. Citrix Synergy, the all-new industry conference where virtualization, networking and application delivery meet, will take place May 20 to May 23 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston.

Sponsored by Intel, Geek Speak Live! is one of four industry events taking place at Citrix Synergy 2008. The other events include iForum User Conference, Application Delivery Industry Expo and IT 2.0 Business Symposium. GSL gives participants ultimate control, allowing them to drive the agenda and format of the event. Instead of watching traditional PowerPoint presentations, attendees will choose and vote on topics and lead group discussions. Rather than one-way lectures, GSL will feature a series of rapid-fire discussions led by widely recognized experts and thought leaders, both from Citrix and from the wider application delivery infrastructure community. Participants will meet other industry tech experts, analysts and bloggers with fresh viewpoints and compelling opinions about where technology is headed.

Geek Speak Live! will also feature a Gadget Lab where attendees can interact with a wide-range of technologies focused on application delivery. The lab will include graphically intensive, interactive software that will be delivered using application virtualization, as well as the latest small footprint portable devices, prototype devices from Intel and "BYOG" (bring your own gadget) where attendees can demonstrate their own gadgets and favorite tools.

From Forbes.com:

Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS), the global leader in application delivery infrastructure, today announced it was named one of the top 10 places to work in the annual ranking of "100 Best Places to Work in the Bay Area" by the San Francisco Business Times, Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal and East Bay Business Times. Citrix ranked ninth among companies with 101 to 500 employees in the Bay Area. The publications surveyed over 200,000 employees from more than 500 nominated companies, measuring their satisfaction on a wide array of topics including work culture, management and benefits. Winning companies were announced at an awards ceremony on Tuesday night, April 29, in San Francisco and a full list of winners was published by all three sponsoring publications on Friday, May 2.

Since earning a Top 20 spot in last year's awards, Citrix has continued to build momentum in the Bay Area, opening up a new Silicon Valley headquarters in Santa Clara and growing its Bay Area presence to nearly 500 employees. This location now serves as a strategic second headquarters for the company, with aggressive growth plans for 2008 as Citrix continues to build its virtualization and networking solutions into an end-to-end infrastructure for application delivery.

"Silicon Valley is a geography that holds some of the world's most impressive engineering talent. We've continued to attract the best the Bay Area has to offer by bringing the innovative spirit of a startup and melding it with the stability of an established billion-dollar market leader," said Wes Wasson, chief marketing officer for Citrix. "To be recognized as one of the top 10 companies to work for in a region of so many esteemed companies is a tremendous honor, especially since our ranking is based directly on our employees' feedback about being a part of the Citrix family."
