Report from Assembly Summer '07

Third time on row, MUPE was on the move to Assembly 2007 held in Helsinki, Finland. The team was once again NRC Toijala, just like every time before. Our aim was just lay around and maybe demonstrate demos if someone seemed interested of them - not just MUPE but other things too.

As usual we hade fun, but most got a bit tired during the event - 4 days in the nerds heaven is exhausting. We demonstrated the MUPE with two games specially customized for the event. We also had an experience point where newest Nokia models could be tested; some of them had MUPE on. Our motto still is: MUPE loves you and don't play with yourself.

Let Saija Simola, one of the Toijala trainees tell her experiences:

It was nice to talk with people and ask what they think about our software and phones. I notice new things about our software, when somebody else used and tested it.

One funny case was, when I saw little boy next to microwave. I ask him if he need help. He open the microwave and said "What is the teaching of the day? Don't never put the hot dog on the plastic wrapping in the microwave." Then he took out of the microwave his hot dog with warm plastic wrapping sad face on his face.

We have couple of MUPE games too. NetBubble winner was one guy and he was really happy to victory. We filmed the award presentation. He got Hesburgers gift tokens. It give happy mood for me too. This competition was two weeks before Assembly Summer 07 and it was exciting to follow how competition progress. Pocket Realms was the other one game. The winner of this competition won N95 phone.
