Finished ethnographic study in Bielefeld

Submitted by Tobias.Nelkner on September 4, 2008 - 11:24

Hi,

last friday we finished our second week of the ethnographic study in Bielefeld at Synaxon AG. It was really cool that the staff of Synaxon supported us so much and it's nice to see how interested they are in the result of the study. I think, we got really good results in a very uncommon and open-minded company and I'm looking forward for the data analysis to get the "real" information ;-).
