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.
Fellow Gareth has published the photos of the Defective by Design awareness campaign in London last saturday. Congratulations, it seems it was a successful event and it also gave a excuse to make new friends 🙂 Warming up for tomorrow’s big day.
