Kalos (beautiful) kagathos (virtuous), of which kalokagathia is the derived noun, was a phrase used by classical Greek writers to describe an ideal of gentlemanly personal conduct, chivalrous ideal of the complete human personality, harmonious in mind and body, foursquare in battle and speech, song and action. And this very idea accompanied us during the TechTalks 3.0 in Athens!
Ancient Greeks believed that a sound mind lives in a sound body. So what was the first thing we did after unpacking? We took off to the stadium to commence the first EXTREME Hero Olympic Games! Alas, the weather had something different to say about that... But did it stop us? We'll let you be the judge of that ;)
But it wasn't all about ourselves, you see. Sure, we had a great time together, but we also wanted to make a change and do something good for those in need. Everyone who participated in our morning jogging sessions was helping us collect money for the “Together for Children” association of non-profit NGOs that works in the field of child welfare in Greece. We are EXTREMELY proud to announce that together we managed to raise 505 USD. You're the best!
TechTALKS
And after everyone got their healthy dose of endorphins, we got down to the biscuits - the TALKS in TechTalks! We had a lot of awesome presentations during which we discussed new switching and routing hardware, advanced Fabric Connect architectures, ExtremeCloud IQ and Extreme Management Center Core Update, among many, many other things. It was a blast - see for yourselves!
