It was a great feeling I had there: we are not alone, we can do great things together, good things, and we can make a stand. And the satisfaction and results we can achieve are more we can dream.
Even apparently we are ordinary people, without too much power, eLiberatica proved that together we can speak on our behalf.

Now, ROSI who actually are comprised by all of us who participated somehow at eLiberatica can go further and try to influence what is happening in Romanian IT field; can influence individuals, companies but also the government. We have to go in the same line with the rest of the world where our place is! We where for too long outside. We should not leave the country for finding better life, we must build our better life there and make Romania a part of the world community. And together we can do that. Now I know.

I received a few hundred emails and I started to respond each of it, but it seems that I can not handle all. For the ones of you I didn’t respond yet personally, you should indulge me, I’ll try to do it in the next weeks.

What I wish to assure you is that I read all your emails you sent to me and your thoughts and suggestions and encouragement matters a lot for me.

I hope that what I wrote on the top of this message is explaining my fillings and my determination to go future together with you. You can count on me.
All my best for all of you!

I’m back and working at eLiberatica again. There are so many things to do after such an event… Below it is what I’m doing right now and my plans for the future.

I planed three stages:

A. I take a break and rest 1-2 weeks – I renounced at it;
B. Take care about eLiberatica post event activities (estimated 1-2 months) – making public what happened at the conference this year;
C. Take care about ROSI (starting with September) – build the ROSI portal. If I can get help, perhaps we can do it sooner;
D. Preparing eLiberatica 2008; from November.

B. eLiberatica post event activities – from now to 1 September

1. Responding to hundreds of emails I got from people who attended or the ones who couldn’t come
2. Arranging photos I took – I already published on flickr, you can check mine here… Or you can check all published under the tag eLiberatica: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/eliberatica/ or search there for ‘eLiberatica‘ (is returning only after a week more than 500 images!).
3. I still have to come with comments to all the pictures there
4. Agora shot around 1000 pictures too, professional pictures, they promised to upload it on a ftp so I hope more pictures will come
5. I invited people for feedback related to eLiberatica, right now I’m collecting this feedback and I intend to write my own report about it: eLiberatica it is an open event so I’m going to make a list with all the things that went good and bad
6. I will update http://www.eliberatica.ro/ homepage with the most meaningful images from the conference, I’ll post there all the slides presented by the guests – I still wait for some of them to be sent to me
7. I will set under LinkedIn a group/tag ROSI and invite everybody who is sustaining this initiative and the conference to adhere it

C. ROSI group portal; from September to October

1. build a plan and specifications
2. build a panel section to list all SO/FS Romanian organizations, groups and communities
3. implement a discussion list
4. see what we can do for the future, start to work on building and enlarging the community

D. Preparing eLiberatica 2008; from November

That’s the plan.

I strongly encourage you to publish all your thoughts about how eLiberatica 2007 went, please send me suggestions and anything you wish to improve for the next year.
Also, you can very easy help by publishing photos you take, commenting on blogs and spread the word about what happened at Brasov this year.
