Earlier this week, I spent two days attending the Corena S1000D User Forum in Kongsberg, Norway. As product-specific user forums go, this one was quite informative and I remain impressed with the Corena product line. They certainly offer a good mix of S1000D functionality, with clear promises of getting better in many areas of the spec (my current favourite is the applicability editor), and it seems to me that few products out there can match theirs.

And of course, Svante Ericsson, a leading authority on the S1000D standard, gave a talk that in itself made the drive to Kongsberg worth my while. Svante is a former colleague of mine from my days at Information & Media (now Sörman) and knows better than most out there what he’s talking about. He’s also a lot of fun to listen to.
