This Tuesday Cathy, Patrick, Ram and me were welcomed at the ALCS headquarter for starting the initial phase of our project. We have to get an overview of their issues which the IBM subteam will possibly analyze deeper in the next few weeks. After a quick tour through their offices - while making notes about the IT equipment - Nidal explained us issues which they are having with their enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.\r\n\r\n
It was a very informative but also tough session, as it was mainly in French (thanks Patrick for translating) and we didn''t know much about this system before. Good luck we got Moroccan tea (and my chocolates from Switzerland) as energy kicks. At the end of the day we had filled multiple slide charts already.\r\n\r\nNext day we continued to discuss more of the IT related problems together with Karima and Kezna. Personally, the new topics suited a bit better to my experience profile. I caught myself normalizing tables in my head and thinking about an inexact search. As it turned out it was the same for Patrick and Ram (both having a strong development background)... fortunately, Cathy brought us back to the business side.\r\n\r\n
One promising sign that we understand our partner was the topic about the donor''s database resp. application: during a discussion about ALCS'' dream I was drafting a GUI (graphical user interface). At the end Kezna - pointing at my drawings at the flip chart - said: "Cela, ç''est mon rêve!" (This is exactly my dream!) :-)\r\n#ibmcsc morocco

May 1 (Labor Day) is a public holiday in Morocco - another chance to see and learn more about our host country. To make the most out of it we already left Casa on Wednesday evening with a minibus - in which we already had a small party on our way to Fès via Rabat (Morocco''s capital). We arrived at 11.30 P.M. at the nice Hotel Batha. It''s rooms were a bit old-fashioned (equipped with probably one of the first color TV... but who needs TV in a hotel anyway?) but with a beautiful dining area.

Yes, this evening I finally managed to take my sportswear (representing my sports association TV Obersiggenthal!) and went for jogging! :-) I was a little bit skeptic about it, I didn’t know how a western guy in running outfit in the middle of this busy Moroccan city would be perceived. Also, I didn’t want to get lost, so I decided to head for the big park near the hotel (Parc de la Ligue Arabe) and do some laps there.\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
It turned out to be a nice experience. The park itself is well maintained, even though some playground installations from the sixties are locked away (at least it looked like). I saw couples walking hand-in-hand or sitting on a bench, young boys playing football, families with their dogs and old men playing Pétanque. I was the only jogger, but I still didn’t feel like an alien from outer space. A young guy with Rasta hair smiled at me and gave a thumbs-up. Such gestures and a sound mix of Linkin Park, Sunrise Avenue, Toten Hosen and QL in my ears gave an additional boost for my exercise. :-)\r\n#ibmcsc morocco

We 15 IBMers from all over the world have been assigned to 4 different organizations, each with different challenges. Nevertheless, many teams face similar challenges, too. The data gathering phases took a lot of time, many, many interviews have been conducted so far. And of course the language: each team has a team member or a translator who speaks French - nevertheless, a lot of time and information get lost in translation. My French skills are useful to me and it''s somehow cool to use it, but translating from one foreign language to another foreign language... that would be too much. Luckily we have Patrick from France in our ALCS team! Many of us are eagerly waiting to produce some tangible work products, which will happen during the next two weeks...\r\ninsha'' allah (if God wills)!\r\n\r\nPersonal impressions\r\nOne objective for me was to get out of my comfort zone, which definitely occurred, being in a foreign country, culture, new colleagues and project targets. But so far I can manage it well, thanks to the great team spirit, the motivation to work for a great AIDS prevention organization, the amazing weekend trips, a lot of fun and the support from home. So far I''ve never been in bed before midnight, but somehow it works.\r\n\r\nFunny stuff (at least for me)\r\n
The laundry form - you have to indicate what''s inside your laundry bag using predefined check boxes... but you can only choose between around 4 options. For the rest like socks, underwear, T-shirts, ... well, you put them into the bag, hope they are returned and that they don''t cost the world. After the first laundry I decided to wash socks and underwear myself: removing all staples was one of the reasons not being in bed before midnight, despite the help of my Swiss Army Knife.
I have four cell phones with me! One for my Swiss business number (#1), one for my Swiss personal number (#2), one old Arabic Nokia (#3) for local calls... which I never used, I put the SIM card into another old smartphone (#4) for convenience and usability reasons.#ibmcsc morocco

After a very hot summer day we wanted to cool down a bit in the evening. We went to "Rick''s Café" which was an important location in the movie "Casablanca". The place was designed to recreate the bar made famous by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in the movie classic Casablanca. Set in an old courtyard-style mansion built against the walls of the Old Medina of Casablanca, the restaurant – piano bar is filled with architectural and decorative details reminiscent of the film. There is an authentic 1930’s Pleyel piano and "As Time Goes By" is a common request to the in-house pianist.\r\n\r\nGenerally, photos are prohibited, but if you ask the staff, they allow to make "but only a few, please!".
