Welcome to MacWord 2010…
Inside the expo…
Macworld expo
Vicky Stamatopoulou on 9. February 2010
Macworld Expo kicked off today and even though Merlin is not presented in a booth our CEO, Frank Blome, is very busy in San Francisco taking with PMs from all over the world and doing last minute preparations for the Merlin co-sponsored ‘Cirque du Mac’ party.
We have read Jeff Gamlet’s post at the Mac Observer about the importance or unimportance of Apple’s absence at the conference. The author points out that:
Macworld Expo is about interacting with your colleagues, friends, session instructors and the companies that make the products we buy.
So it is an Expo for consumers and a special event for everyone taking place.
That’s all very nice and cool, but what we find most interesting is your opinion.
How important is Apple’s presence for you and how does it influence your decision whether to visit the expo or not?
The Merlin and iPhone presentation in London
Antoni Cherif on 27. February 2009
Last night I had the opportunity to demonstrate Merlin on the Mac and unveil Merlin iPhone at the Apple Store in London, Regent Street
As the 5pm presentation start time approached, seating was nearing capacity and set-up had gone without a hitch. I just wish I could say the same about the rest of my day leading to the presentation. Those who follow me on Twitter (fblome) know my travails all too well; my flight to London was first delayed due to technical issues, and then cancelled altogether. End result? I dashed back into my car and drove from Münster to Düsseldorf to catch another flight to London (yes, this one fortunately left on time). All told, I touched down in London five hours later than I should have, but fortunately, I still made it in time for my Merlin presentation at the Apple Store. Here are the slides from my presentation:
Update: We are excited to learn that the editors of http://www.slideshare.net have just promoted our presentation to be featured on their home page!
Get together in Atlanta (Oct 6th)
Administrator on 13. September 2007
While we are in Atlanta, GA from October 6-9 for the PMI World Congress (booth 1113), I think it 
would be a great opportunity to meet all the Mac users and PM’s who are using Macs on their projects. Of course developers and users of other applications can join us as well.
We are thinking Saturday (the 6th) might be a good day for doing that. We’ll start at 7:30 pm. Let us meet in the Embassy Suites at Centennial Olympic Park in the Bar.
They’ve landed!
Administrator on 11. June 2007
After a 13 hour flight our developers and CEO have landed in San Francisco. All are looking forward to the Keynote at the WWDC today and plan on getting up early to get seats in the hall. That’s going to have to be real early, 5 AM PST is what I heard would be a reasonable time to get anywhere near the front of the queue!!
Look Mum I’m Number 987!
Almost There
Good luck boys!
Macworld Update
Administrator on 23. January 2007
Back from the Macworld in San Francisco our team is exhausted but exhilarated. Before they went off to look after their jet lag, they did manage to give us a nice update and share a few photographs.
We thought we’d share a bit of the news and the pictures with you too. The visitors to our booth were generally very pleased with the new generation of Merlin – Merlin 2. Many of these were looking for a real professional project management tool and after checking out many of the other applications offered at the Macworld, they were convinced that Merlin 2 was unbeatable on the Mac OS X. That of course, pleased our developers.
Our team was able to interact one on one with many visitors and users to the booth. This offered a helpful platform to gather some very valuable feedback. Ideas, thoughts, feature requests were all compiled religiously by our team and these are now being discussed in great detail in out Merlin developer circle.
The Merlin users who took time to visit our booth also complimented the superb and competent support offered by the Merlin Support Team. Many mentioned that this is often not always the case. They were especially pleased with the super fast service and responses they got. In the future too our support will keep up the high quality of service.
All in all the Macworld was such a huge success that The Boss booked a booth for the Macworld 2008 right there.
Until then if you are looking for a project management software, download Merlin’s demo version here and give it a try yourself.
Revolutionary Products at the Macworld
Administrator on 10. January 2007
Did you all see Steve Jobbs’ Keynote at the Macworld! Let me tell you some of our developers here in Germany were awake till the wee hours of the morning waiting for it. I admit, I waited till this morning to watch it.
As Steve presents the next revolutionary product to the world, the iPhone, our team reports from the ProjectWizards booth at the Macworld floor.
It seems they are getting run down by so many attendees at our booth that they seem to be forgetting to eat, drink and other such vital things!
Presenting Merlin 2 for the first time in the USA is a huge event for us. The attendees to the Macworld know that when looking for a professional project management application you cannot get better than Merlin 2.
For our team at the Macworld (and of course for all of us here too), this is a very pleasing trend. It confirms the fact that Merlin 2 is the next “revolutionary product” when it comes to professional project management applications on the Mac OS X.
At the end of the first day and after presenting several demos, our team were able to call it a day. The live gig from “CheapTrick” was apparently the icing on the cake for them.
Please do not boo me out of here at my next question, but who is CheapTrick?
Off to the Macworld
Administrator on 6. January 2007
The Boss is off to the USA. After a short break at our office in Atlanta he’ll be flying on to San Francisco for the Macworld.
We love teasing him about the long flights to the US. Although he loves flying, crossing the Atlantic really rubs his edge a bit. Dry air, hardly any room to move, getting the right seat neighbor – a matter of luck and of course no smoking throughout the flight!
We’ll be exhibiting with our partner NovaMind this year again and everything is ready to show. Packages have been sent off, the booth is planned and appointments have been made. So, Frank can have a bit of a relaxing weekend in SF before the show begins.
We’ll keep you posted on Frank’s escapades in San Francisco and at the Macworld
