Geneva has switched to summer mode. After passing by the Palais Wilson I headed back into the centre, towards Grottes, and that&#8217;s where I saw the Orchestre des Nation performing in the street.It is amusing to see Geneva being more Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<p>I went to Geneva two or three hours early because I thought that if I had a walk, and went to the meetup, then the trip was more worthwhile than if I had simply gone for a meetup and networking.<\/p>\n<p>Going to tech related meetups is a habit that I enjoyed when I lived in London but then lost when I lived in Geneva because they were few, and far between. Now I see that there are events almost every week, if not more regularly, between Nyon, Geneva, and Lausanne.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, if the coworking group had met yesterday when I was in Geneva I would have dropped in to their event first, and then gone on to the meetup. I will go to more of their events, in future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span>Yesterday I went to a Ruby on Rails talk in Geneva.
