Last week, in Nijmegen there were the
Vierdaagse,
according to Wikipedia the largest marching event in the world. Roughly 40.000 people walked
for four days, every day between 30 – 50 km, depending on age and some other things. Only
~3000 did not make it. Those days go together with the “Zomerfeesten”, a week-long festival
in the whole city centre, attracting 1 Million people throughout the week, with a peak on
Friday, the finishing day of the Vierdaagse.
as a part of his vacation. I’m not sure he was prepared for a city full of people partying,
30 – 40 stages in the whole city and the celebrations starting around noon. He’s chosen the
busiest day of the year to visit this city. =) After aKademy, I was quite exhausted for roughly a week, and I had to catch up on other work
which has been left undone for the week before. I’m quite up to speed with all activities
again now. Today was mostly dealing with administrative stuff for the e.V., such as preparing
travels for the next months and hotel booking for the Board meeting we’re holding at the
beginning of August in Darmstadt. My TODO list for the next days includes some aKademy aftermath (merchandising, logistics mainly)
and sorting out businesscards status. I’ll also do some more hacking on the
Battery plasmoid, but
that is really freetime / evening activities.
