Weekend in Antwerpen

This city is so diverse...old buildings (and some new ones in the middle), international cuisine and people, and ambulance sirens that make you think you are in the middle of New York.

 


DrupalCon Location Selection Task Force

It is time again (after a long time) to write something in here. And I will try to do that more often now. (but I always say that and it is always in the back of my head).

But back to the serious note of this.

It is about the DrupalCons and the European city nominations for 2010 and 2011. I wish to clarify that I am NOT part of the German group nominating Berlin. I am in the location selection task force, that is neutral and objective regarding the nominations (even though Berlin is my birth place!)

The thing with answering DrupalCon emails

Is that I am always behind and I am really really trying my best to get to below 100 emails in my inbox for the DrupalCon.

I know all of you want to have an answer asap (and if I see that it is very urgent I do), but please be patient. If you do not have an answer by day 3, please resend and be nice to me :-)

Thank you!

 

DrupalCon in Fitou

Currently in Fitou (still until Wednesday), I am working on the DrupalCon Paris 2009.

I thought I would get some sun and tank full of energy for the final sprint, but as it turns out, I have been inside a stone cold office with music outside all day (it is la fête du vin)

But I am getting things done, organising and reorganising, coordinating, calling, meeting, explaining, discussing, looking...and at night I get to eat yummy pizza from our neighbours, wine, ice cream, fading sun beams and a beautiful view.

My Valedictorian Speech

Here is my speech, that I gave already over a week ago. I was soooo nervous and proud and it felt good in the end too.


Dear students, parents, teachers and dear guests.

(small pause) :)

It is an honour and at the same time the most nerve-racking thing to be standing here in front of you today.

I guess I never really imagined that speech class would come in this handy for me, so soon.

And it just doesn't become easier! :)
