Antwerp
Antwerpen Studentenstad using Drupal
Frosty face
I have been so busy in 2007, that I haven't had many opportunities to go out and take pictures. For the first time in what must have been months, I managed to get out for a photo walk last weekend. Picture taken at the Middelheimmuseum in Antwerp.
Meeting of minds 2007: the user is the content
On April 26th, C.H.I.P.S. organizes a debate that focuses on the impact of user generated content on traditional media, publishers and cultural organizations.
They lined up an impressive list of speakers and attendees, including people like Bob Young (former CEO of RedHat and CEO of LuLu.com) and Loïc Le Meur (blogger and former director SixApart).
And what's best? The event conveniently takes place in my home town of Antwerp (Belgium).
I'm pretty convinced that by now traditional media organizations have what they desperately needed: a clue -- but I'll bring my big foam cluebat nonetheless, I'll wear my NowPublic advisor hat and I'll bring a number of community experts. ;)
Street macaw
People who live in Berchem/Borgerhout can probably tell you that, on a sunny day, you can find this macaw sitting on his tree in the Gitschotellei (shopping street). World famous in Berchem!
Drupal workshop in Antwerp
Two pictures taken at the free Drupal workshop in Antwerp. Hopefully some of the students will start contributing to Drupal once they started kicking ass.
As one of the teachers, I had good fun and actually learned a lot about teaching Drupal. It gave me fresh perspectives on how we can continue to improve the Drupal experience. We have work to do!
Fresh converts!
Organizer and co-teacher, Roel De Meester.
Kvraagetaan
Music from the Fixkes, brimming with sentimental memories of my own childhood. (Hat tip: Pietel)
