Over 20 participants arrived. After opening session, the teams presented their projects. (Presentation slides were added to project page).
In the evening we ate a lot in one of the Pilsener restaurants. Even for Czech people it was an advanced cuisine experience :)
First real working day...
In the morning, as an appetizer for a new day, we had a talk from Václav Hlaváč. Later we made our first group photo.
This day was like the day before :) With another great talk from Václav Hlaváč. Just the weather was more rainy...
Last working day of this week. We published group photos from Wednesday. Links to full size images are here: 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg.
This day most of us went to a guided tour through and even under the city. After we visited Pilsner Urquell brewery, in hot weather outside we enjoyed cold cellars in underground. After this nearly sport activity, we went to fill ourselves into Na Spilce restaurant.
Relax day...
In the middle of those three days, we welcomed our second invited speaker, Nick Campbell. He gave a very interesting talk about managing contact in spoken interaction.
Meanwhile, the weather is colder than usual, but it's good for cooling of our processors :)
First half of the workshop is coming to its end. The teams worked hard and the results were presented on Friday in midterm presentation session, all the slides are available on project page.
Second weekend... Someone went to visit South Moravia (caves, wine cellars, castles), someone went to Prague, the rest relaxed in Pilsen...
Third working week. On Tuesday we visited Czech Technical University in Prague. Except of working, we enjoyed a celebration of bithday of Marek and Milos with great food at "U Kance" restaurant. On Thursday, some of us visited Queen tribute band concert directly at the Pilsner Brewery.
Third weekend... the time flies... Someone went to visit Prague, Karlovy Vary, the rest relaxed in Pilsen, where we tried some sport activity - climbing ...
Fourth, and last, working week... The teams are working really hard to finish their projects and prepare some demonstrations for the final day... The temperature of our computers and processors escalate further because of really hot weather here in Pilsen :)
Last day started at 9:00 with final meeting where all the teams presented their results. All the teams worked hard and the results were impressive. Thank you everyone!
In the evening we finished our social activities part at the Pilsner Fest, a beer festival with a lot of music and people... Farewell, everyone!
