Barcamp Ghent 2008

Last weekend, I spent my entire Saturday in geek-land: a Barcamp followed by a
Geekdinner. Lovely!

I met some really interesting people again this time, and got to see
live-blogging from nearby for the first time. Raphaël and I gave a presentation about
MyOwnDB, and even before it was finished, you
could read
about it already. Apparently, it’s still not that easy to explain what MyOwnDB is all about. De Standaarddidn’t really get it completely either. We’ll have to work on that!

Anyway, I really love hanging around with Barcamp people, even though I
couldn’t find anyone to help me fix my laptop. :-)

Later that day, we all shifted to the net|lash offices for a mixed GirlGeekDinner and ITPro Geek Dinner. I had a great
time again meeting very interesting, almost famous people and hurting myself
(and other people) playing tennis on a Wii.

I hereby officially announce that I will be organising the
next ITPro GeekDinner. It will be the first one in the province of Limburg.
Let me present you with a little fact: starting from Antwerp or Brussels,
Hasselt is as nearby as Ghent is!
