What about when we’re not selling software online?
If you
ever wondered what our team does when it leaves the office and hangs out together for a weekend, well… I have some information for you in this post:). However, I don’t want to just give this away for free, so let’s play a game:
I’ll only show you the pictures from the team-building we’ve been to in the beginning of this month (from our Extravaganza Party) and you must name the persons behind the characters, if you recognize them. Comment with at least 3 correct answers and receive the “Avangate Spring Buddy” title:).
If you win, we will proudly present on our blog, in the Avangate Spring Buddy badge your blog/website and will send you a surprise gift. Ready or not, here are the questions:
1. Name at least one person up in the air in this picture:
2. Who’s the magician’s favorite volunteer?
3. In what team are these guys playing (hint: in what department @Avangate)?
4. Who are the three charismatic Italian gangsta’ ladies lovers:
5. Who is the ladies choice in our parties, the captain of the team, the superstar:
6. And the last question and the easiest of them all – which one of them can speak Russian:
Remember, comment below with 3 correct answers and get to be Avangate spring buddy:). Plus receive a special gift (surprise!). Needless to say that Avangate members and their close relatives are already Avangate buddies, so they can’t participate in this contest;).
PS: Most answers can be found by browsing the Avangate website but some require further investigation – hints: Facebook, Twitter?

Razvan, congrats, you are the first true Avangate buddy :) Stay tuned for the badge and our secret gift;).
Your answers, half crypted as you wrote them, are great clues for the others that still have a chance to be the next Avangate spring buddy. So, who wants to give it another try?
Remember, he/she who can write down at least 3 official names of the characters will become for all of us the messenger of spring we are eagerly waiting for… ;)

hi!
Here are my answers:
1) too many people. I guess, your CEO Carmen Sebe should be there.
2) not sure, but may be Cristi Miculi?
3) don’t know who these guys are. Since there is no woman among them, I guess they are playing in Engineering Team :)
4) I know only the middle one, it is Laurentiu Ghenciu, as far as I remember I saw him at one of the ISDEF conference
5) sorry, don’t know
6) Eugen Rosca! I met him at ISDEF’2009

You sure know how to enjoy yourself.
1. Delia Ene
2. Cristi Miculi
3. Development team
6. The cute girl can speak Russian probably :)
Regards from Serbia

The contest is still on and to welcome new Avangate spring buddies (and send more special gifts;), the last challenge is to name (first and last name!) all the Italian ladies’ lovers revealed during the Extravaganza party in our team building (4th question). Or to find out who is the captain of the party team, the ladies choice aka black? (see question 5)
We welcome all guesses till the end of this week – and all our new Avangate spring buddies will receive by email info about the prizes.

@roxana – last post
Let’s see if I can still remember the guys….So the name of the Italian ladie’s lovers (adica idolii femeilor pe romaneste :p) are
- Daniel N.
- Laurentiu G.
- Eugen M aka Tha Mafia Lawyer (not “Italian ladie’s lover) cause he’s a married man and also has twins :)
