Keeping it only black was not an option for me. I like green: it makes me happy 🙂 Here is my scooter, pimped simply with a plussy sticker.
Do you want one of these stickers? Come to Cosenza and you’ll get one.
Don’t you want to be able to say I was there at the First international meeting of the Fellowship? In case you want to leave your mark in digital-stone, there is a page ready. Go here and put your name, link it to your home page if you like. And in the future you will be able to say been there, done that 🙂
Back from Bolzano, back from the First International Meeting of the Fellows, lots of important news in my (and yours) mailbox. First of all: thank you to all participants, it was a wonderful experience. There were at least 40 Fellows from all over Europe in the same room for the first time, and that only was worth the efforts. But that all of them were so interested in the Advocacy project and willing to participate in it was probably the best part of the day… at least for me.
In the next days we will put together a page with pictures and recordings of the event, but for now let me just announce that Alejandro and Ekke added the planet aggregator during the eZ Publish workshop: you find the rss feed here and the page will be ported in production in the next days. Thank you again everybody, stay in touch for more news.
Here we are in Bolzano. I’m excited: there are many Fellows here. We have also new Fellows to welcome. There will be soon pictures and recordings of the SFSCon, too.
The presentation of the Fellowship was appreciated: the advocacy project has attracted the interest of the audience. Tomorrow it will be a very interesting day: we will get ready to shape the future of our community.
The first draft of the Advocacy Project has been published . Comment the draft, shape the project as you wish. It will be further discussed at the upcoming First International Fellowship Meeting.
See you in Bolzano 🙂
We are getting close to our important appointment. I was playing with GIMP and I have modified one of the banners in Fun: spread it around if you can so that more people can join the Meeting.

There was a positive reaction on the Fellow’s discussion list about the eZ workshop, so probably it is time to close the agenda and start getting ready to travel to Bolzano for the first international meeting of Fellows. We will take the whole day to get together, learn eZ Publish, listen to Werner teach uses of the Fellowship cryptocard, hear the big surprise announcement, play with advocacy. And don’t forget that there will be the night too, with dinner and good beer and chats.
It’s exciting! I can’t wait to meet you there. Spread the word: the more, the merrier.
During the past days I have been more busy than usual with the Fellows volunteering to maintain and enhance the Fellowship portal. I realized that eZ is probably not so difficult to play with, once you get the basics.
Thinking about the upcoming meeting I thought: why not try inviting a eZ expert to Bolzano to give us a brief introduction to eZ Publish? I have asked some people around and after a first round of email exchange I can say that a brief workshop on eZ is doable.
I think it would be great to have more people involved in shaping the portal. Would you be interested in a couple of hours hacking php code with eZ while in Bolzano? Shall we add a topic to the agenda and start finalising it?
I have been offline for the past days, after the crisis with the server that powers this site. Basically, what happened is related to the Fellowship’s success: the traffic on the site grew faster than we planned, which makes everybody happy except our server that is under stress.
Working on eZ to repair and optimize the site made me think that it would be nice to have a eZ workshop at the coming Fellowship Meeting in Bolzano. What do you think? We can invite eZ publish experts to hack on fsfe.org site, if somebody is interested.
Many Fellows are getting ready to participate to the Fellowship Meeting in Bolzano, nov. 11th but I noticed that many still don’t know how to reach Bolzano. Here are a few tips.
The closest airports are in Verona (Italy) and Innsbruck (Austria, just across the border). Following closest are Bergamo and Milano, where many cheap flights operate.
Bolzano has also a train station connected to all major Italian cities. You can check the train’s schedules on many websites, like trenitalia (and others all around Europe).
More detailed info are also available on South Tyrol website.
Reserve your place soon, the conference will be fun and interesting.
