This month’s Holland Open networking event was quite nice. First attended a presentation about
\ncommunity, sharing knowledge within that. Close to things I’ve studied. Frightening, at least.
\n\tThe day started off with a 35 EUR fine because I bought a salmon baguette instead of a train
\nticket. Bummer, but probably a good lesson (never get up before half past seven again?). The
\nmorning, we spent with a bunch of kids at a school in the South of the Netherlands, giving
\ninstructions for becoming better geeks. In fact, they probably don’t need those, but some
\nexplanation regarding subversion workflows will save them some time in the future. The real reason
\nwe got there was vanity. NRC, a dutch quality paper, showed interest in CodeYard<\/a>, and asked for an interview, which Adriaan, Jasper and I
\nwere happy to give.
\n\t
\n\tIn the train to Delft, where the Holland Open networking event had to take place in a nice
\nbuilding in the old centre of the City, I talked to a girl who had been working on a watermanagement
\nproject in Bangladesh. We discussed merits of information technology for third world countries for
\nsome time, and it was quite an informative and enjoyable chat. Actually, having a worn-out battery
\nin the laptop can have advantageous side-effects.
At the networking event itself, I talked to
\nquite some people, introduced Martijn and Claire whereever possible to reduce single points of
\nfailure in KDE-NL’s relationships. I also talked to a couple of people, mostly about marketing
\nrelated issues, which left me wwith a longer list of “Oh, then you should read this!” items, which
\nI’m happy with. His presentation refered quite often to Crossing the Chasm<\/a>, which only proves my
\npoint. Everyone involved with KDE marketing should read that book.
Coming home after a 16 hours
\nday, I only had 80 emails to walk through, but Kim left me a pancake, so I had something to enjoy,
\napart from flamewars and bikeshedding on different mailinglists.
Tomorrow: Brussels.<\/p>\n
