I know since eLiberatica 2008 passed a few months, but I thought is not too late yet to publish the complete profiles and images with all speakers and guests we had this year.

So I uploaded on flickr some quality images shot by Marian, Agora’s photographer (he deserve credit for this, I’ll put more images soon shot by him at eLiberatica).

I completed each image there with descriptions and comments so everybody would know what is about; I plan to pay even more time on arranging and publishing more images from this great event we put together.

And soon, I’ll come with another surprise – The eLiberatica 2008 Movie, which is a 35 minutes video clip and has lots of moments and some very interesting interviews with our speakers, some of them never viewed by the public. Stay tuned ;)

PS – why I’m doing this? because… we wish to do it again!!!

A few years ago I was thinking we are living obscure times, where we, the “small people”, are pushed to live our lives in a monotone rhythm, without the power to change anything – nor our lives nor the big things that move the world.

Nowadays I started to feel different; I think we can change our lives and we can influence the things that are going around us. And this must be a personal issue we have to resolve: to take what “the big players” (name it how you want) are giving us (“us” like masses but also “us” like individuals) or we start to be involved, to have an opinion, to chose what we are considering right, to participate actively and if necessary, to make a stand.

In Canada is election time. In US is election time. In Romania is election time. The financial world is passing crazy times. Not to mention other things happening on the globe (terrorism, global warming, etc, etc).
Ah, and what about our lives? Don’t you feel the fewer, the fear and the exciting in the same time? I started to think that actually we are living very interesting times. And the single way to feel that you are really alive is to be involved in your times.

At 14th of October I’ll be for the first time exercising my Canadian citizen rights. And I’ll think deep and I’ll vote right I hope. This is the brick of democracy. If not, we are just sand.
