# Taken the MS Israel Speaker Challenge? Omer did.

By Roy Osherove November 21, 2005 In [Community](https://osherove.com/blog/category/community)

[Good luck to Omer](http://weblogs.asp.net/OKloeten/archive/2005/11/20/431011.aspx). He's taken the MS Israel "[Looking for a speaker](http://www.microsoft.com/israel/traincert/stars/)" _(registration seems to be closed by now)_ challenge and is waiting for any results. From the technical side, I \*know\* he knows his stuff. On the presentation side, I don't really know, but I hope he's coming out on top. I could use him in some lectures in various user groups...

Speaking of unrelated things: [here's an Israeli Java  Developer's blog](http://javachaos.blogspot.com/). Just because it seems nice.
