Europa-Park is situated in Rust, a southern German village on the banks of the river <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Elz_(Rhine)\">Elz<\/a>, a tributary of Rhine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-9.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9408\" src=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-9.png\" alt=\"CloudFest 2018: The River Elz\" width=\"414\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-9.png 414w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-9-221x300.png 221w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 414px) 100vw, 414px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Because Rust is so small, it does not have a train station.

We steeled our resolve to get onto the next transport and braved a warm rain under the unexpected rays of sunshine.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-2.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9410\" src=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-2.jpeg\" alt=\"CloudFest 2018: Offenburg in the Rain\" width=\"1000\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-2.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-2-300x189.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-2-768x484.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-2-600x378.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When we got to our destination, we went straight to the venue to set up our booth.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-3.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-9412\" src=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-3-1024x678.jpeg\" alt=\"CloudFest 2018: Setting Up\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-3-1024x678.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-3-300x199.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-3-768x509.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-3-1320x874.jpeg 1320w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-3-600x397.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-3.jpeg 1510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The before and after: our isle on Monday afternoon when we were setting up and on Tuesday morning, the first day of the conference.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-4.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9414\" src=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-4.jpeg\" alt=\"CloudFest 2018: The LiteSpeed Technologies Booth\" width=\"1000\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-4.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-4-300x189.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-4-768x484.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-4-600x378.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-5.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9416\" src=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-5.jpeg\" alt=\"CloudFest 2018: Meeting Clients and Potential Clients\" width=\"1000\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-5.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-5-300x189.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-5-768x484.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-5-600x378.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was good to meet with current clients, whom we love, and with prospective clients, whom we plan to love.

We are a team; we are dedicated to moving the web forward.<\/p>\n<p>On the penultimate day of the conference, we made a short excursion to Freiburg im Breisgau &#8212; a beautiful city a short train ride away from Rust. Stepping over its <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Freiburg_B%C3%A4chle\">B\u00e4chle<\/a>, I could not help but think about the people who first made these channels almost a thousand years ago: Did they know that their creation would survive empires and witness the technological revolution? In the end, we are like them: we, too, are craftsmen, making tools. It is only fitting that we would be at the CloudFest conference &#8212; or, to use a German word, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bing.com\/search?q=translate+fachmesse\">Fachmesse<\/a> &#8212; a trade fair.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-8.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9424\" src=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-8.jpeg\" alt=\"CloudFest 2018: Freiburg im Breisgau\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-8.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-8-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-8-768x511.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/null-8-600x400.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We will miss you, CloudFest.
