I have received an invitation to the next gathering of the Bay Area Chapter of the Localization Fusion Society. Hopefully, I’ll be in the area and will be able to drop in on the event in Menlo Park on June 20th.

The Fusion Society is a social networking event for folks involved in internationalization, localization, translation, and related activities. Think social aspect of localization conferences with the rule of “no selling.”

I always had great fun at these events in California, while successfully managing to avoid Renato Beninatto‘s (that’s him below) digital camera (er, I hope), a skill that would seem all the more important to shy retiring types like myself now that the good gentleman has discovered YouTube.

I wonder if there’s a chapter in Dublin, Ireland? We need an excuse to get to the pub.

In the meantime, if you want to get in touch with the Menlo Park organizers, then please e-mail me .
