Videobloggingweek 2007: Day 5 - a day in my life in 2005

mrtopf@gmail.com (MrTopf) — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 15:14:01 PDT

This time I was digging through old videos of mine, done with my IXUS back in the time (now this thing seems to be quite dead and I really should get a new nice small camera for on the go).

This was recorded around Nov 20th 2005, so indeed it is a bit dated. It's just some impressions but I hope you like them :-)

And also an excuse for yesterday's missing episode as I was quite busy with a deadline..

One note to Volker Gerling and his Flip Books: This event was held in the Last Exit in Aachen and he indeed is doing great work with his photography flipbooks, capturing just a small moment in time with them. He also was on the tramp for quite some while, just living by doing these photographs and meeting lots of people. And he is great in telling his story and documenting it with his books. So check out his site at http://www.daumenkinographie.de/.

stories from the island, episode #1

mrtopf@gmail.com (MrTopf) — Tue, 25 Apr 2006 07:29:35 PDT

So here's the first real episode from the Archipelago Sprint. I will categorize them in three categories:

- lowlevel: highly technical content, you have been warned
- intermediate: some technical stuff but not necessarly Plone related, it's more about the atmosphere (which of course touches technical issues as this is the main point of coming together)
- highlevel: This is merely about what Plone is and interview with people etc.

So this will be labelled as "INTERMEDIATE". It will feature THE big discussion going on here which is about whether to use Mochikit or Prototype as JS library within Plone. Both sides have arguments and the little excerpt of that discussion might show how these things are handled within the community.
(This discussion has not ended yet, though, and we will try to find a solution at the end of this day).

Further on we have some introductions of people. Stefan Holek did the whole round of introducing everybody yesterday and I will split this up into certain pieces and post some faces at the end of every episode.

So what it here!

The Plone Archipelago Sprint starts!

mrtopf@gmail.com (MrTopf) — Mon, 24 Apr 2006 04:38:44 PDT

On a remote island there are 40 plone developers grouping together to create Plone 3.0. See here how they are doing!
