get the wor (l) d

jajaja, yes I admit that I'm blogging for the last few days have been somewhat neglected. But that is the same here, to mention only get updated very often nothing at all exciting for a while, then turn over the events and there is hardly time for the blog-interested observers.

Well, according to the Foss I am hard working and committed to preparing for my workshop thrown contribution, by the way done the last conference chaotic good deeds, thanks to Sky and Kavita I was so little of it previously exempted. Thanks to you (even if you can not understand that here, because German and so).

The workshop was well received, were on the first day despite übereifendem entitled "Technology, Governance and Citicenship" mainly technologists present. According to my article "Who Can You Trust?" Was well placed. Together rather enjoyable experience that trust among people through Oxytycin is generated by computer and confidence in a call to + +1 503619-0562 may be realized. Who wants to look, there is at least the little picture as a PDF (200K) , or odp (609k) .

The discussion strayed from this fact in the social spheres of computer use, which was refreshing. Most other contributions were more or less successful examples of successful technical solutions, which present the technologists mainly on technical detail 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. Should. After all, were ne whole series by social scientists, technologists only the previous day had, unfortunately, no more day time. What was the present opportunity to perform some really interesting sociological detail discussions. Terms have been rotated back and forth again, in the end I knew that social scientists as a stable black-box use, only the cardboard walls of the box are elsewhere.

The last day brought it interesting articles on dam projects in India, about Science-Technology Studies, and even about the role of art. On the failure of an orator, we have responded, as we have prepared a play. Typical Indian director had the biggest problems with the piece, after calming sliding spree throughout the day fell from the Theatergespiele then. Out.

Also saw the conclusion of discussion, let as a guest who is looking not for a minute before, had had to cease ne self-representation orgy. Well, you learn something always came out for the time to learn the decision to leave the academic world was really true. Next time, the consensus among us Organize channels, we have to persuade people to work. Something has to happen, otherwise the technologists argue further about the technologies, the social scientists on definitions, while the world goes down in peace.

Well, if you already play all day with words, you can continue the evening so well in NER pleasant atmosphere. So get into a game cafe and there spent the evening. Unfortunately, for too long been the key of the house was at the neighbors, and you can here in India after 10 is no longer wake up. Especially not if you think that not all the neighbors who just have the key (how raustellt Another day later), to sleep already.

Well, the social networks here are broad, but at night the way through the city so short. Saturday there quickly to the peace festival, culture must be times, too. 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 honor NEN live performance by Janastu , and danced together well. I probably should have left some impression, spontaneously at some point there was a Bangalorian up to me to say goodbye to me. "Goodbye Jesus!" Oh yeah, time to start ne sect ...

Sunday, there was then, accordingly, the first community meeting of the Bangalore Wireless Mesh Group. Yeah, we are still looking for its own name, now look at what comes out. The five of us have created NEN plan, as we continue here looks good. So also are managed according to all the trouble and get updated very often now ne Announcements Wireless Mesh Group Bangalore.

So everything done, time to go for a while.

And, I think of German fairy tale. Tomorrow we return, if I can free the Indian chaos. To commemorate it, my bank card has now decided to break free from the constraints of the magnetic ATM, it is no longer part of the system. Well, I gönns her, but somehow that is already sad, I'm treated really well ...

Denne, Wednesday I'm back in Berlin, the evening was the last time this year in the table tennis chestnut, what more could you want. I hope many of you the days in Berlin, Rostock or wherever, to see it. See you soon!

So that was the first conference event in December, the second follows immediately, but must stay in between for some time. Geblogge FOSS.IN , the largest conference on free software world, throughout Asia, is definitely the strong exaggeration with such descriptions.

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

In the conference rooms but exciting presentations, sometimes, unfortunately, quite empty. Fortunately, my speech was well filled, was fun and build some new prospects for the idea, in Bangalore, a wireless mesh gabs. These requests are from Delhi and Bangladesh, now, has had some appeal to FOSS. During the lecture after gabs and also 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 note a lot of new people on the mailing list BangaloreWirelessMesh, well, hopefully the next meeting was.

Everything 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 space for spontaneous ideas would have been BoF (BirdOfFeather?) Tents-gabs, but where your were the edit button? In Mediawiki, which presented the pages of FOSS.IN. To add pages to organize something spontaneous? Somehow seem to have this fear of communities, then maybe, I just make my experience even more. FOSS.IN, nice people, but somewhat cold atmosphere, too little community, too much Corporation.

Ok, so much remains a critical review, no less critical of foresight, and tells me that tomorrow I NEN lecture on " Who Can You Trust? may hold. " On of a conference entitled Technology, Governance and Citizenship . There will certainly be more spontaneous and more chaos, that is good preparation for the Christmas visit to D-land. And I can guess that it is damn cold to go with you, BRRRRRR.

There it is again. The India, about which I have not blogged a few days. For this reason gabs, initial probability - I had a cold, cold doll, really - and then less comprehensible. To be honest, I have no fucking clue how the days were flying by so fast.

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 anything, becoming, in January, at least for one company show up again and seems to be. Gut.

Because its hard but it was only in January but a little far out, I've decided on the network here at Dinesh's company to clean up times. And with the local admin on the make-we-all-new take on tour, so he finally has time NEN look through what he managed. 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 something to do great things out once again. Parallel's here again something more fun. Ne Australian - Sky - makes this internship (whatever that means), Kale is visiting her boyfriend and an Indian - Jinan - Support in Bangalore trying to find for this educational program. Dinesh also swirls around so varied and busy here, I fail to blog just let the time for breakfast.

Ahja, last events. Yesterday. In the evening we go out to eat something delicious and land directly in the Peanut Festival. So Kadlekai Parishe, so that is good. The first peanut harvest is celebrated everywhere to buy peanuts. And thousands of people on the go. And, honestly, the peanut stands are in the minority. It is as it should for a festival, all manner of kitsch. Balloon with and without heart, flutes, flashing flying somethings and, most importantly, the robot not only flash but also to predict the future.

The future. And now I know everything about them. About my. The robot has scanned me, he said, apparently. That was all supposed to find out not, because the future is something which has in Kannada to me. Well, at least I know now sounds like the future. Confusing.

Speaking of the future, which is close to the future of FOSS conference . The launch yesterday, or tomorrow, as you want. So I go through times this afternoon, let's see what the mood is there, morning, it is my lecture, the thumb pushes the folks asleep Nich.

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

Yes, and then, then we are going back to Germany for ne from Christmas break. On the 18th, my flight leaves here on the 19th I come to Berlin and be happy for the first time this year Rudolph will encounter is the Nich herlich?
