get the wor (l) d

jajaja, yes I admit that I want the blog the last few days have somewhat neglected. But so is this here just to mention a while alone gives no nothing exciting, then turn over the events and there is hardly time for the blog-interested observers.

Well, according to the Foss I am diligent and committed in the preparation for my workshop review thrown, by the way the last chaotic Konferenzgutetaten accomplished, thanks to Sky and Kavita , I was like yes something previously exempted. Thanks to you (even if you can not understand that here, because of German and such).

The workshop was good, first day, despite the zeal title "Technology, Governance and Citicenship" mainly technologists present. According to my post "who can you trust it?" Well placed. Together rather enjoyable experience, that trust among people through Oxytycin is generated, and confidence in computer through a phone call to + +1 503619-0562 may be realized. Who wants to look, there is at least the picture as a PDF (200K) , or odp (609K) .

The discussion here actually wandered into the social spheres of computer use, which was relaxing. Most other reviews were more examples of successful or less successful technical solutions that the present technologists mainly on technical details could stimulate improvements. One thing was clear after the first day, technologists have ne black-box , which she diligently maintained.

The next day, everything should be better. If. After all, were ne series by social scientists, technologists, only the previous day had, unfortunately, no other day. " What was the present opportunity to lead some really interesting sociological detail discussions. Terms were hergedreht back and forth, in the end I knew that social scientists as a stable black-box use, only the cardboard walls of the box are somewhere else.

The last day was then interesting posts about dam projects in India, about Science-Technology-Studies and even about the role of art. On the failure of any speaker we have responded, as we have prepared a play. Typical Indian director had the biggest problems with the piece, after calming Verschiebeorgie throughout the day was the Theatergespiele from then. Off.

Fell from the final discussion, there can be a guest who is looking not for a minute before, had had to abandon ne Selbstdarstellungsorgie. Well, you learn always to get to this time came out for the the decision to leave the academic world was really true. Next time, the consensus among us OrganisiererInnen, we have to persuade people to work. Something has to happen, otherwise the technologists argue further on technologies, the social scientists on definitions, while the world goes down in peace.

Well, if you already played all day with words, you can continue the evening even more pleasant atmosphere in nerve. So from a Spielcafe and spent the evening. Unfortunately, for too long remained the key of the house was at the neighbors, and we may not here in India after 10 more wake. Especially not when you think that not having all the neighbors who just have the key (as is NEN raustellt days later), sleeping already.

Well, the social networks here are far more tense, but at night is the way through the city so short. Saturday still fast to the peace festival, culture must indeed his. And finally get to have contact Rham Bhat voicesindia.org of whom I had met in Rostock for the G8. Yet everything is nice and round. Spontaneous gabs live performance to also honor NEN by Janastu and danced together, too. I must have left some impression, some spontaneously came a Bangalorian up to me to say goodbye to me. "Good bye Jesus!", Oh yeah, time to start ne sect ...

Sunday, there was then accordingly also the first community meeting of the Bangalore Wireless Mesh Group. Yes, we are still looking for its own name, now look at what comes out. The five of us have created NEN plan, as we do here on, looks good. So also still managed to all in trouble and announcements are now ne Wireless Mesh Group Bangalore.

So all done, time to go for a while.

And, I think of German Winter's Tale. Tomorrow we return, if I frees the Indian chaos. To celebrate this occasion my bank card has today decided to exempt itself from the magnetic pressures of ATMs, it is no longer part of the system. Well, I do not begrudge her, but somehow that is already sad, I've dealt with really good ...

Denne, Wednesday I am back in Berlin, the evening was the last time this year at the Chestnut table tennis, what more could you want. Hope many of you the days in Berlin, Rostock or anywhere to see more. See you soon!

This was the first conference event in December, the second follows immediately, but in between time must remain for something. Geblogge FOSS.IN , the largest conference on free software world, Asia-wide, is certainly strong on hyperbole with such descriptions.

Came together about a thousand visitors, which is not bad, but the announced issue of long queues at the entrance was probably a leftover from last year in this gabs no snakes. This year gabs no snakes, no idea whether the involvement was simply worse than before. But what it gave plenty of promotional stands from sponsors, platinum, gold, silver and other sponsors were were everywhere distributed between the conference rooms. At least I had the chance to see again how non-evil Google is.

In the conference rooms but exciting presentations, in part, unfortunately, quite empty. Fortunately, my lecture filled well, has made fun and build some new candidates for the idea, in Bangalore on Wireless Mesh gabs too. In addition, there inquiries from Delhi and Bangladesh, now, already has some attraction to FOSS. During the lecture, and then gabs course, the first wireless mesh freifunk.foss.in in Bangalore, so that visitors can play around a bit. Judging by the list of registered IP addresses, but that has done no one, huh spontaneous enough? Also noted a lot of new people on the mailing list BangaloreWirelessMesh, well, hopefully the next meeting was.

All experienced in all interesting conference days, the hack center was probably the only community space, but clearly, if we had worked through the usual conference jungle also space for spontaneous ideas would have been BoF (BirdOfFeather? Tents) gabs, but where use was the edit-button? In MediaWiki, which presented the pages of FOSS.IN. To add pages to spontaneously organize something? Somehow there seem to have the fear of communities, now Maybe, I must first make my experience even more. FOSS.IN, nice people, but somewhat cold atmosphere, too little community, too much Corporation.

Ok, so much remains critical review, no less critical foresight, and I am told that the day after NEN lecture on " Who can you trust? may hold. " At Ner conference on Technology, Governance and Citizenship . There will certainly be more chaos and more spontaneity, a good mood for the Christmas visit to D-Land. And I can guess it damn cold to go with you, brrrrrr.

There it is again. The India, over which I have not blogged for several days already. For this reason gabs, initial probability - I had a cold, cold doll, really - and then less comprehensible. To be honest, I have no fucking idea how the days could pass so quickly.

Well, the job opportunities are now two in number, both in a stable state of suspension. Does that mean, that's probably the most, with nothing before the contract or so, in January'll at least for the time a firm surface and seems to be. Good.

Because its hard-working but only in January but is something far out, I decided on the network here at Dinesh's company to clean up times. And local admin with which we do-it-all-new take on tour, that he has finally NEN Durchblick what he administrated. What a decision. As expected dip in a thousand little problems, with broken switches, network cards and network cables, there is no shortage here, well, clean up, just ...

This takes time, but is just too great to do at last what. Parallel's here once again a little more entertainment. Ne Australian - Sky - makes this practical (whatever that is), her friend Kale is to visit and an Indian - Jinan - support attempts in Bangalore for this educational program to be found. Dinesh also swirls around so varied and busy here, I fail to blog let time just to have breakfast.

Ahja, last events. Yesterday. In the evening we go out to eat something tasty and land right in the Peanut Festival. So Kadlekai Parish, so that is good. The first peanut harvest is celebrated everywhere to buy peanuts. And thousands of people on the move. And, honestly, the peanut stands are in the minority. There are as befits a festival that all sorts of kitsch. Balloon with and without heart, flutes, blinking flying somethings and, most importantly, the robot not only flash but also predict the future.

The future. And I now know everything about them. About my. The robot has scanned myself, he said, allegedly. Nich was supposed to find out more, because the future has been brought in Kannada to me. Well, at least I know now sounds like the future. Confusing.

Speaking of the future, the future is close to the FOSS conference . The start yesterday, or tomorrow, as you want. So I go back this afternoon times, have a look how the mood is there, morning, it is my lecture, fingers crossed that the folks asleep Nich.

And then next weekend is really the next conference on Technology, Governance and Citizenship , organized by Dinesh and Sky and Kavita and all the others here from time to rumwirbeln. Then I'll also give something for the best, the title is already "Who you can trust?" Missing is the content.

Yes, and then, then we are going to Germany again for Christmas break ne. On the 18th my flight leaves here, I come on the 19th in Berlin, and become happy for the first time this year, Rudolph encounter, the Nich Herlich?
