Day 6 and 7: bsuy, busy, busy :)

Hello all,

sorry for not blogging about day 6 separately, but I just didn't get around to it. What has happened in the past two days?

Non-tech stuff: Weston arrived, after a monster 2000km hitch in 30 hours and Jim got rid of his jetlag.
Tech stuff: We did more preparing. Yesterday we set up the living room as efficient as possible for people to work in. We now have 6 desk-spots for people to work in and two couches for the laptop-monkeys. All the computers have been put in the right spots and we just need some power chords and networking equipment to finish setting them up.
Jim has sent out a mass email to about 8000 people asking them to please choose a country, since all these people have no location set somehow. We all wish him good luck with the replies he's gonna get to that over the next few weeks. Aldo told me he sent out an invitation to the Eisenstadt collective last year to a couple of thousand people and he's still getting responses :)
Weston has been very active in getting himself all read up and is now deciding on a project to choose. Stand by for updates on that :)
I myself have been active just trying to stay up to date on everything and getting the house set up. I find it harder then I expected with a full-time job, but the cool productive vibe around here is definitely worth it!

One sad message: Chris missed his flight and as a result will be here late Saturday night (instead of today), which means he'll miss the picknick meeting on saturday we're having here in Rotterdam.

That's about it for now. I gotta run off to work, take care!

Walter
