• Participation2Participation: Add your own P2P definition. Meet us, talk ideas.

At the end, I finalized my plan to launch an information website about a place that is very close to my heart. I spent there many good moments of my life and each time I go there, and I breath the pure mountain air, look at the surroundings and listen to the silence – I feel green and peaceful. Is a special place, one of the rare still hidden tourist pearls you can find in the Eastern Europe. OK, if you wish to read more, check the website. I published there only basic information (in 6 languages ;), but is a start. After a while, I’m planning to launch there a portal; that area deserve it. For now, I’m happy that I positioned the website on one of the first places in Google search :)

Finally, we have a video clip from eLiberatica 2008. It comes a long way, and we have to credit Agora and Marian Teodorescu for putting all together. I just created the YouTube channel and posted there the movies. Because YouTube is not permitting movies longer than 10 minutes (and our movie is 35 minutes), I had to split it in 4 parts. I would recommend you to look at all four clips, and especially the latest 2 which are really interesting. The movies contains shots from the conference but also interviews with some of the speakers (representatives from Google, Mozilla, Sun, European Union, FSF Europe, Gartner and more); they are talking about the latest trends in IT, about Open Source adoptions, about how they felt at eLiberatica 2008 and being in Romania. Enjoy it! -
