This is a little off topic =), but I wanted to drop a quick note on behalf of a good friend of mine. She is a reporter for the San Jose Mercury News <http://www.sjmercury.com/>, which is the largest newspaper that serves the Silicon Valley area in California.
She will be travelling to Germany and France from Sept 14 through Oct 10, hoping to do a few in-depth articles looking at the differences between US, German and French labor laws, with an emphasis on their impact in the technology sector both domestically and internationally.
If you live or work in any of the following cities and wouldn't mind being interviewed, please send me an e-mail (mike at my company, quasidea), and I'll forward her your information.
Thanks!
