# The first Israeli Blogger dinner was really good

By Roy Osherove May 9, 2004 In [Blogging](https://osherove.com/blog/category/blogging)

**Historical article** · Originally published May 9, 2004; technical details may be outdated.

The first [Israeli Blogger dinner](http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/archive/2004/05/08/128459.aspx) with honorary guest [Johanna Rothman](http://www.jrothman.com/) has come to a successfully conclusion.

It was great. Lots of great conversation about the state of project management in Israel and abroad, various techniques and war stories and lots of good laughs. It was great folks. We should so it again. I promise we will. But next time I'll alert you much more in advance so we can do it right, with even more people. **You just wait**.

In attendance were: [Johanna](http://www.jrothman.com/), [Udi Dahan](http://udidahan.weblogs.us/), [Ido Samuelson](http://www.dotnetjunkies.com/weblog/principal), [Memi Lavi](http://weblogs.asp.net/memi/) and myself. [Omer](http://weblogs.asp.net/okloeten/) wanted to come but couldn't make it. Next time Omer :)

~Pictures will be posted as soon as I get them from Memi!~
