Background

SOFEX was established in 1999 by King Hussein.

In 2012, SOFEX attracted 33 national pavilions, represented by 323 companies and which attracted thousands of visitors over the 3 day exhibition, including 108 delegations from 56 countries. [2]

The 10th edition of the SOFEX series took place May 5-8, 2014.

The SOFEX 2020 has been announced as postponed on 2020-01-30 due to heavy rains at the expo location.


gollark: Also, the latest update to something doesn't show on the user-visible revisions page, which is a minor nitpick but I mildly dislike it.
gollark: This isn't really ideal, as I think I'm duplicating data a bit (timestamps), updating a page involves more work, and more importantly the `revisions` thing doesn't have any relevant information beyond what's available from `pages`.
gollark: Basically, when there's a new revision, the apiosystem reads the current content out of `pages`, compresses it, generates and serializes the metadata, then shoves in a row into `revisions`.
gollark: As of now I do this:```sqlCREATE TABLE pages ( title TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE, content TEXT NOT NULL, updated INTEGER NOT NULL, created INTEGER NOT NULL);CREATE TABLE revisions ( page TEXT NOT NULL REFERENCES pages(title), timestamp INTEGER NOT NULL, meta BLOB NOT NULL, -- contains revision metadata and type -- ChangeContent { size } is the only one here for now full_data BLOB -- contains optionally compressed text);```but it is not ideal.
gollark: Yes. Please hold on while I post the schæma.
