 <title>MediaMosa, an Open Source Drupal Module, has been released</title>
 <link>http://willy.boerland.com/myblog/mediamosa_an_open_source_drupal_module_has_been_released</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://smc.showcase.surfnet.nl/misc/vp-core/MediaMosa-VP-Core-3.png&quot; width=300 height=400 /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Today, &lt;a href=&quot;http://mediamosa.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Mediamosa&lt;/a&gt; has been released. It is hard to describe what it does, but the picture above should give you a hint..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From the website, you can read that MediaModsa&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;[...] is a state-of-the-art, scalable Middleware Media Distribution Platform and facilitates access to, and usage of (shared) storage capacity, metadata databases, transcoding- and streaming servers. The platform offers functionality for searching, playing, uploading, transcoding, as well as a fine granularity media access control system towards its users.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can see MediaMosa as a Drupal Module that provides central storage, publishing and transcoding functionality. A Media Asset Manager Hub on steroids! It was developed by/for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.surfnet.nl&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;SURFnet&lt;/a&gt;, an academic network in the Netherlands. Dutch readers are encouraged to read the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.surfnet.nl/nl/nieuws/pers/Pages/SURFnetenStichtingKennisnetmakenvideoplatformopensource.aspx&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;pressrelease&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is not easy to understand or easy to install, but please give it a try on your localhost if you are into Media (management) and Drupal. Many broadcasters are already looking at this in the Netherlands. Great job!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>SAML and Drupal</title>
 <link>http://willy.boerland.com/myblog/saml_and_drupal</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3647/3290292722_5fb8d10810.jpg?v=0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you do not think that OpenID or LDAP is a good solution for you identity management solution, you might want to take a look at &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAML&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;SAML&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was triggered to look at SAML again beacuse a &lt;a href=&quot;http://drupal.org/node/1575&quot;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;very old fature request&lt;/a&gt; (2003, nid 1575) was re-opened regarding having SAML in &lt;a href=&quot;http://drupal.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Drupal&lt;/a&gt; core. I think it would be a great add-on to have this in core, yet most will think it should be contrib. And the fact is that for most users SAML (endpoint) is not needed and it makes sense to have it in contrib. For a long time, the module that came the closest to this was &lt;a href=&quot;http://drupal.org/project/shib_auth&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;shib auth&lt;/a&gt;; user authentication with Shibboleth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now I found a module, hosted outside drupal.org that gives the power of SAML to Drupal at &lt;a href=&quot;https://ow.feide.no/simplesamlphp:drupal&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https://ow.feide.no/simplesamlphp:drupal&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BTW: Boris wrote about this &lt;a href=&quot;http://bmannconsulting.com/blog/bmann/looking-drupal-saml-sp-implementation&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;some time ago&lt;/a&gt; as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BTW2: If you are into identity management, please follow &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.sun.com/superpat/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;super Pat Paterson&lt;/a&gt;, the nicest person in the Identity Management showbusiness.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Hack de Overheid, een korte screencast over open data</title>
 <link>http://willy.boerland.com/myblog/hack_de_overheid_een_korte_screencast_over_open_data</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Omdat ik het leuk vond een andere vorm van presentatie en vodcasts te maken en omdat het onderwerp me aan het hart gaat:&lt;br /&gt;
een introductie over &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hackdeoverheid.nl/&quot;&gt;hackdeoverheid&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;object width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowfullscreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=5137142&amp;amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;amp;show_title=1&amp;amp;show_byline=1&amp;amp;show_portrait=0&amp;amp;color=&amp;amp;fullscreen=1&quot; /&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=5137142&amp;amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;amp;show_title=1&amp;amp;show_byline=1&amp;amp;show_portrait=0&amp;amp;color=&amp;amp;fullscreen=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://vimeo.com/5137142&quot;&gt;Hack de Overheid, een korte screencast&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href=&quot;http://vimeo.com/bertboerland&quot;&gt;bert boerland&lt;/a&gt; on &lt;a href=&quot;http://vimeo.com&quot;&gt;Vimeo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Helaas kan ik er niet bij zijn maar hoop een volgende keer aan te schuiven. De presentatie boven gaat natuurlijk veel te kort door de bocht. En een medium als een blog kan dat goed aanvullen. NYTimes met al haar rijke API&#039;s wordt vaak als voorbeeld opgevoerd over hoe om te gaan met &quot;tweepuntnul&quot;, data en het openbreken van walled gardens. Maar een overheid is anders dan een bedrijf. Een overheid bestaat over 100 jaar nog (hopenlijk), een overheid heeft geen inkomsten op een manier die in een kwantitatief business plan te vatten zijn. Een overheid heeft direct heel weinig baat bij het beschikbaar stellen van data en wel de kosten.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aan de andere kant dient een overheid transparant te werken en za door &quot;many eyes&quot; van crowdtasken data nieuwe waarde kunnen krijgen door combinaties te doen die de overheid zelf niet voorzien heeft, bedacht heeft of nodig heeft. Die nieuwe gecombineerde data heeft potentieel zeer veel kwantitatieve en zelfs kwalitatieve waarde voor Nederland en dus voor de overheid. Het genereren van mashups van data (en dat is dus meer dan wat plots op een Google Maps) maakt dat meerdere bronnen gecombineerd kunnen worden. Bijvoorbeeld CBS data met kadastrale gegevens voor een academisch analyse om te bezien of een woonboulevard of 10 losse woonwinkels beter is voor verkeer en economie. Gooi de data op straat en er zijn mensen die er kennis mee maken!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Voor een overheid het echter kan doen -zie screencast- dient er het nodige te gebeuren. Met nam procedureel. Bijvoorbeeld onder welke licentie deelt de overheid de data? Een creative commons lijkt handig maar welke? En tot welk niveau kan de data terug te leiden zijn tot personen of huishoudens? Er bestaan 6 cijferige postcodes in Nederland die uit 4 huishoudens bestaan dus is dat bijna te identificeren tot een persoon. En omdat de overheid voor veel data nu geld vraagt (KvK, kadaster) i ze een marktspeler. Als ze deze data nu om niet gaat aanbieden, verstoort ze daarmee de markt. Concurrerende partijen die in de ladder niet verder gaan data data (dus niet informatie/kennis) zien plotseling een aanbieder die hun diensten gratis aanbiedt. Veel te regelen dus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maar het is onze data!&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Wereldomroep (Radio Netherlands Worldwide) using Drupal</title>
 <link>http://willy.boerland.com/myblog/wereldomroep_radio_netherlands_worldwide_using_drupal</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2448/3589244143_3dbedd9afb.jpg?v=0&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Today my employer &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dop.nu&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Dutch Open Projects&lt;/a&gt;  launched the website for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rnw.nl&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Radio Nederland Wereldomroep&lt;/a&gt;. The public broadcasting system in the Netherlands is endless complex, so I will not explain that system here. But Radio Nederland Wereldomroep (Radio Netherlands Worldwide) is a very old international public broadcaster, with regular transmissions starting back in 1927 to the Dutch East Indies, now Indonesia. More information about RNW can be found in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Netherlands_Worldwide&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;wiki entry&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The site &lt;a href=&quot;http:/www.rnw.nl&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;rnw.nl&lt;/a&gt; has more then 100 writers in eleven editorial staffs and writes in six languages, including Arabic and Chinese. Building the site in three months with &lt;a href=&quot;http://drupal.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Drupal&lt;/a&gt; sure was fun. We had a team of three coders and two themers (&lt;i&gt;and me as  consultant&lt;/i&gt;) that created the site using D6, lots of contributed modules and custom code. We choose to use &lt;a href=&quot;http://drupal.org/project/og&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Organic Groups&lt;/a&gt; for the editorial staffs, making it possible to cross-post content in multiple groups and write in one group in multiple languages. I am not the biggest fan of OG but it fitted the business requirements and worked very well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3662/3588841574_531536a178.jpg?v=1243936067&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By itself, the fact that Radio Netherlands Worldwide switches from a proprietary CMS towards an Open Source CMS is not the biggest news. However, the switch is a milestone since it symbolises that companies and NFP that didn&#039;t look to Open Source and only listened to the proprietary &lt;i&gt;prietpraat&lt;/i&gt; are moving over; we are winning! Lost of newspapers, broadcasters and other companies are ditching the proprietary CMS-es and migrate towards Open Source. I have seen business cases where just the migrating costs from a proprietary CMS towards an Open Source CMS were lower then the yearly license costs. In the Netherlands, the financial crisis is not as bad as in many other countries in the world, but the crisis sure make people look towards how to spend many well. It used to be true that people switched towards Open Source because of the quality and stayed for the (lack of) cost. Now people switch because of the money they save and stay for the quality! The Open Source market is &lt;i&gt;booming&lt;/i&gt; in the Netherlands. (Note that it can also backfire, I see a lot of companies using Open Source tools without knowing the pitfalls, have a failing implementation and thereby give Drupal or Open Source a bad name.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2428/3588842036_9c6b19b42b.jpg?v=1243936093&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The site is not finished yet, both content and coding wise there is some work to do. That is one of the disadvantages of a time boxed approach. However, meeting a deadline, having a dedicated professional team that worked 36 hours in two days during Pentecost, sure is a adrenaline boost. With the Wereldomroep being a switcher and another public broadcaster in the Netherlands (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ncrv.nl&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;NCRV&lt;/a&gt;) that has been using Drupal for a long time for many sites and more to come  (&lt;i&gt;more news soon&lt;/i&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;misc/smileys/smile.png&quot; title=&quot;Smiling&quot; alt=&quot;Smiling&quot; /&gt; ), the future of Drupal in the low lands is looking bright!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Screencast: Screenspltr demo for the iPhone / Mac</title>
 <link>http://willy.boerland.com/myblog/screencast_screenspltr_demo_for_the_iphone_mac</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;My first screencast on how to display your iPhone screen on your Mac. Be Steve Jobs. USe your jailbroken iPhone to download &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.plutinosoft.com/blog/projects/screensplitr&quot;&gt;Screensplitr&lt;/a&gt; and use &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.plutinosoft.com/blog/projects/demogod&quot;&gt;DemoGod&lt;/a&gt; on your Mac and you are ready to be Steve.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowfullscreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=4644594&amp;amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;amp;show_title=1&amp;amp;show_byline=1&amp;amp;show_portrait=0&amp;amp;color=&amp;amp;fullscreen=1&quot; /&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=4644594&amp;amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;amp;show_title=1&amp;amp;show_byline=1&amp;amp;show_portrait=0&amp;amp;color=&amp;amp;fullscreen=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://vimeo.com/4644594&quot;&gt;screensplitr demo screencasts&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href=&quot;http://vimeo.com/bertboerland&quot;&gt;bert boerland&lt;/a&gt; on &lt;a href=&quot;http://vimeo.com&quot;&gt;Vimeo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that jailbreaking is not as hard anymore as it used to be, but still not for the avarage user. But then again, Steve is not the avarage user as well. If you use a Mac to jalbreak your iPhone, and your Mac OSX is updated to the latest version, be sure to read &lt;a href=&quot;http://willy.boerland.com/myblog/iphone_and_mac_os_x_10_5_6&quot;&gt;this article about USB drivers&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Gemeente Amsterdam doet kiekeboe met search engines</title>
 <link>http://willy.boerland.com/myblog/gemeente_amsterdam_doet_kiekeboe_met_search_engines</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3572/3385494665_24bd98807b.jpg?v=0&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
De webmaster van de Asmterdam is op een SEO cursus geweest. &quot;Doe maar veel met onzichtbare sleutelwoorden&quot; wist het garagebureau (&quot;ook uw vertrouwde plaats voor al uw tweedehands accu&#039;s&quot;) te melden. Kost je wat zo&#039;n cursus maar dan heb je ook wat. Namelijk een ban van Google als het tegenzit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Zie &lt;a href=&quot;view-source:http://www.loket.amsterdam.nl/loket/centraleStad.portal&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;de source&lt;/a&gt; van &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.loket.amsterdam.nl/loket/centraleStad.portal&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;loket.amsterdam.nl&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Goed te weten dat de webmasters van Amsterdam het internet begrijpen en gebruiken op een manier zoals dat bedoeld is; namaak content aanbieden aan search engines om meer traffic te genereren. Gemeente &lt;i&gt;e&lt;/i&gt;-@msterdam-plaza? Alles voor de hits! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(&lt;i&gt;tot ze zelf klappen krijgen van google!&lt;/i&gt;.)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Mobile Drupal</title>
 <link>http://willy.boerland.com/myblog/mobile_drupal</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3475/3397432011_b4ffe0e1c7.jpg?v=0&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For a customer who has a simple list of 10 RSS items that he wants to show on mobile devices, &lt;a href=&quot;http://dop.nu&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;my employer&lt;/a&gt; build a website. Most mobile websites are based upon a domain, the user has to visit a different website from his mobile device; often m.example.com instead of (&lt;a href=&quot;http://no-www.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www&lt;/a&gt;).example.com. This is not the right way to make a mobile edition of a site IMHO. It is not the user that has to change his behaviour, it should be the site that has to adept basedupon the users preferences.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So for this customer we build a site that looks for the capabilities of the users and changes in form and function based upon the clients possibilities. When you visit example.com in a &lt;a href=&quot;http://getfirefox.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;normal browser&lt;/a&gt; you will see a normal template, but when visiting the site from a mobile device, the site changes. Drupal reads the useragent, looks this up in an imported database of 5.000+ devices (&lt;a href=&quot;http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;WURFL&lt;/a&gt;) and based upon the capabilities, delivers a template and HTML structure that is optimized for that specific client.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So when on an iPhone I see the picture above using an &lt;a href=&quot;http://drupal.org/project/iui&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;iUI template&lt;/a&gt; and when on an old nokia, I get for example a &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHTML&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;CHTML&lt;/a&gt; site.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The site should change, not the user. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techcrunchit.com/2009/03/29/follow-the-mobile-user/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Form follows capabilities.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;For &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.screencast.com/users/Voelspriet/folders/Jing/media/fdf75c66-c84f-45ae-a3a7-ab5e6b2d4c68&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;helping&lt;/a&gt; out  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.searchbistro.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Henk ven Ess&lt;/a&gt; with &quot;some&quot; Linux problems, I got one of hist products for free, a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.3gjuice.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;3G Juice&lt;/a&gt; power block for my iPhone. Despite the &quot;3&quot; in th name it works perfectly fine on my first gen iPhone, iPod Nano and Fat Nano as well as any other iPods.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3437/3365659918_858b0ae8f0.jpg?v=0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is a 5 by 5 centimers block that fits in your iPhone although I had to take my protective case off. It does not extend the battery of the iPhone, but &lt;i&gt;charges&lt;/i&gt; the iPhone and therefor you just plug it in when you are running low but are not using the phone. Testso far show that is supercharges your iPhone fast, easy and you can easy double the usage time, a great product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A full &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnet.com.au/mobilephones/accessories/0,239025938,339293669,00.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;review&lt;/a&gt; can be found on CNet. A great add on for a roadmonkey like me that uses his iPhone a couple of hours per day. Thanks Henk!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It also shows that &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/henkvaness/status/1332602696&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;helping peple via twitter&lt;/a&gt; comes back to you.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Man Bijt Hond using Drupal</title>
 <link>http://willy.boerland.com/myblog/man_bijt_hond_using_drupal</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3662/3367990792_2ee0d2baf3.jpg?v=0&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last week my emloyer &lt;a href=&quot;http://dop.nu&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Dutch Open Projects&lt;/a&gt; launched a new site for the Dutch broadcaster NCRV, &lt;a href=&quot;http://manbijthond.nl&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;manbijthond.nl&lt;/a&gt;. Trying to explain the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands_Public_Broadcasting&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Public Broadcasting&lt;/a&gt; system in the Netherlands is impossible but lets just say that from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dutch_television_channels&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;dozens&lt;/a&gt; of channels we have in the Netherlands, three are from 20+ the Public Broadcasters that share these channels with each other. And one of these broadcasters, the NCRV, standardises all marketing and program sites on &lt;a href=&quot;http://drupal.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Drupal&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Man Bijt Hond (Man Bites Dog, an old journalist joke about the definition of news) is a program format that started in Belgium, just like Drupal. The TV program attracts a broad audience and is on early prime time watched by more then half a million people every day. It features sketches but mostly odd news from all over the Netherlands. So the site reflect this, it is  a mash-up of elements of the TV program of the last 10 years on a (google) map. Using Drupal for all the views, content types and videos meant we did not have to code lots of complex modules although there is always some custom code to be written. The design is not groundbreaking but clean an mimics the TV program.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fact that (nearly) all sites of the NCRV (and more Dutch broadcasters will join &lt;img src=&quot;misc/smileys/smile.png&quot; title=&quot;Smiling&quot; alt=&quot;Smiling&quot; /&gt; ) standardises on Drupal might not be big news compared to &lt;a href=&quot;http://buytaert.net/sony-using-drupal&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Sony using Drupal&lt;/a&gt; but in the Low Countries it helps to &#039;sell&#039; Drupal to a broader audience. Go NCRV!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>DrupalCon&#039;s lead to DrupalCon&#039;s</title>
 <link>http://willy.boerland.com/myblog/drupalcons_lead_to_drupalcons</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/hellolapomme/2870398567/&quot; title=&quot;Mariage CAC-6 (by hellolapomme)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3218/2870398567_621a1bb0c7.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Mariage CAC-6 (by hellolapomme)&quot; alt=&quot;Mariage CAC-6 (by hellolapomme)&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;375&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;There is an old Dutch saying that roughly translates to &quot;Weddings lead to weddings&quot;. And though attending a &lt;a href=&quot;http://drupalcon.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;DrupalCon&lt;/a&gt; is not the same as getting married, it does share some characteristics. It&#039;s about sharing, passion, learning and helping without xpecting anything back. DrupalCon&#039;s are great places that reach farther then just the Drupal code, the Drupal site, CMS-es or even Open Source. Drupalcons are about people, about technology, the future of the combination of these and how we -as the community- can build this future in our products. Without DrupalCons, Drupal would not have been what it is today. And without future DrupalCon&#039;s, Drupal will not be where it should be.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So there are many reasons to make sure we will continue to have DrupalCon&#039;s. I do not know what holds the future for DrupalCon (bigger, smaller? separate business con&#039;s? one per continent?) but I do hope that the sharing, passion, learning and helping will continue in some form in the future. Maybe you would like to make this possible. By attending DrupalCon&#039;s and maybe even by organising a DrupalCon. If this is the case, do &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; feel intimated by the extreme quality of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://dc2009.drupalcon.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;DrupalCon DC09&lt;/a&gt; but do tender for organising a DrupalCon. The next stop of DrupalCon will be in europe, Paris. After that we are looking for people that want to organise the Con in N-America. All you need is time, passion, a location, some fellow Drupalaars and .. a bit of time... If you are interested, do &lt;a href=&quot;http://association.drupal.org/contact&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;contact&lt;/a&gt; the Drupal Association. Let&#039;s make sure &quot;DrupalCon&#039;s lead to DrupalCon&#039;s&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mind you, I&#039;m living together with my better half for over a decade and have &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/bertboerland/sets/72157604795104526/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;two&lt;/a&gt; of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/bertboerland/sets/72157604795097460/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;sweetest&lt;/a&gt; kids on earth I am not married myself. So I atually do not know if attending a DrupalCon is the same as geting married. But I know I will tender for organising a new DrupalCon in the EU anytime.. again .. &lt;img src=&quot;misc/smileys/wink.png&quot; title=&quot;Eye-wink&quot; alt=&quot;Eye-wink&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>De Pers en Twitter.. een van de twee gaat het niet halen. En Mark Koster heeft een lekplek</title>
 <link>http://willy.boerland.com/myblog/de_pers_en_twitter_een_van_de_twee_gaat_het_niet_halen_en_mark_koster_heeft_een_lekplek</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/bertboerland/3267477632/&quot; title=&quot;De Pers en Twitter.. een gaat het redden de ander niet (by bertboerland)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1335/3267477632_0b4f17cf18.jpg&quot; title=&quot;De Pers en Twitter.. een gaat het redden de ander niet (by bertboerland)&quot; alt=&quot;De Pers en Twitter.. een gaat het redden de ander niet (by bertboerland)&quot; width=&quot;462&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;De Pers.... De pers als krant staat misschien wel symbool voor alles wat mis is met de dode bomen maffia; &quot;de pers&quot;. De Pers schrijft een stukje over een sociale techniek, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.twitter.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;twitter&lt;/a&gt;. En natuurlijk krijg je dan kritiek, dat is logisch. Als iedereen het een goed stuk zou vinden was het geen goed stuk. Zout moet je proeven.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maar voor dat de lezer zout moet proeven, moet de kok eerst de ingrediënten testen, samenstellen, selecteren. En hoe beter de kok dat doet, des te meer chef is hij; een autoriteit waar mensen graag komen, sterren waardig is en waar je graag extra voor betaald.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Als blijkt dat de kok maar wat dingen bij elkaar pleurt, de achterkant van een pakje honig als inspiratiebron heeft en eigenlijk nog analfabeet is, dan kom je er nooit weer. En dit is wat er met &quot;De Pers&quot; in zijn algemeenheid en &quot;De Pers&quot; in het bijzonder aan de hand is. En dit is de reden dat ik al een decennium al geen kranten meer lees. De heren (m/v) Journalisten kunnen wellicht goed schrijven, waarover ze schrijven.. daar hebben ze geen verstand van. Ze lezen de achterkant van het honig pakje, kwakken het op de pers en gaan weer verder, denkende dat ze net een geweldig vijf gangen diner hebben gecreëerd.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vroeger. Vroeger kwam je weg met dergelijke acties. Tuurlijk, een ingezonden handgeschreven brief van een professor. Maar die plaatste je alleen als het je uit kwam. In vroegere tijden kon je stellen:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1266/3267497676_0ea550169e.jpg?v=0&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;&lt;i&gt;Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one.&lt;/i&gt;&quot; (A. J. Liebling, 1904 - 1963)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Klootjesvolk kon de pers niet betalen, dus klootjesvolk moest achterover leunen en de brei doorslikken. Maar gok eens lieve journalisten, tegenwoordig stellen we nog steeds &quot;&lt;i&gt;If You Don&#039;t Like the News...Go Out and Make Some of Your Own&quot;&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Like-News-Go-Make-Some/dp/0898156262&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;boek&lt;/a&gt;) Maar anders dan vroeger, we kunnen nu ook nieuws maken, nieuws verslaan en het Internet is onze pers, twitter onze inkt. En of je -chef kok met een pit- het nu leuk vindt of niet, iedereen is expert in iets. En er werken meer slimme mensen buiten &quot;de pers&quot; dan er binnen. Dus als je onzin schrijft -en er leest perongelijk nog iemand je stukjes- dan vinden we het en we vinden er iets van.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Neem nu het voorbeeld van onze Mark Koster, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.linkedin.com/ppl/webprofile?action=vmi&amp;amp;id=23424978&amp;amp;authToken=WPtI&amp;amp;authType=name&amp;amp;trk=ppro_viewmore&amp;amp;lnk=vw_pprofile&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ex hoofdredacteur van kwaliteitsblad Nieuwe Revu&lt;/a&gt;. Een &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.depers.nl/cultuur/283605/Twitter-is-mindmasturbatie.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;stukje&lt;/a&gt; over .. jaaa, &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;twitter&lt;/a&gt;. Twitter is hip. Dus was het duidelijk dat Mark met zijn kookskunsten er wat zuur bij moest doen. En het werd dan ook een zuur stukje van mijnheer de chef kok Koster: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.depers.nl/cultuur/283605/Twitter-is-mindmasturbatie.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Twitteren is masturberen met je ziel&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Koster en Jojanneke stuurden in het weekend een desperaat mailtje met de vraag: waarom heeft Twitter zo’n vaart genomen? Niemand reageerde. Toen pakte Koster het iets botter aan, met een smeuïge provocatie. ‘Zeg, Jojanneke wanneer gaan we weer eens samen in bad?’
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mark komt de kroeg binnen, lalt een keer door de deur die hij laat openstaan. Braakt een vraag over de bar. Knijpt de barvrouw in haar billen. Mark vraagt zich af waarom niemand naar hem luistert, zijn vrouw begrijpt hem ook al niet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lieve Mark, als je iets zuurs wilt schrijven, ga dan bij de Volkskrant werken.&lt;br /&gt;
Als je een mening wilt hebben, wordt lid van de Partij van de Vrijheid.&lt;br /&gt;
Als je wilt braken, kijk dan naar Geen Stijl.&lt;br /&gt;
Maar als je een mening wilt hebben over iets en deze wilt ventileren zonder dat ik de klonten uit mijn huig moet vissen, neem dan de tijd die mening op iets te funderen. Vier tweets om er achter te komen dat het niets is en op basis daarvan een stukje schrijven. Daarmee ben je een schande voor de chefkoks die nog wel echt iets creëeren.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let wel, van mij &lt;i&gt;hoef&lt;/i&gt; je niets goeds te schrijven over twitter, over de oorlog in Irak, over de kabinets crisis, over linedancing in tweede-exploermond. Maar ik verwacht wel dat je onderzoekt waar je over schrijft en dat je dit doet op basis van feiten, niet op basis van een gewenst artikel dat past in je eigen zeitgeist. Want je tijd is geweest, dodo. Door twiter zo duidelijk neer te zetten in waar jij deze sociale techniek wilt plaatsen, zet je ook neer hoe serieus ik je suffertje en de Pers moet nemen als het om de verslaggeving van de oorlog in Irak gaat, de kabinetscrisis en de linedancing escapades van de bevolking van tweede exploermond.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mark, je bent een klein beetje aan het liegen en fantaseren. Niet? Eigenlijk typ je met een hand &lt;i&gt;op&lt;/i&gt; het toetsenbord. Niet?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Weer niets. Een vraag aan Fransico van Jole, de veel twitterende internetpaus van 2525. Waarom, waarom, waarom? Geen antwoord.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wellicht niet het antwoord wat je wilde toen je de internetbarvrouw 2525 in zijn billen kneep, maar wel &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/2525/status/1188477867&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;antwoord&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mark is natuurlijk een echte journalist. En echte journalisten verdienen steun, &lt;a href=&quot;http://extra.volkskrant.nl/opinie/artikel/show/id/2637/Niet_de_krant,_maar_journalisten_verdienen_steun&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;volgens hem zelf althans&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Laat de kwaliteitsjournalistiek over aan journalisten
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;en&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Kwalitatief hoogwaardige journalistiek is tijdrovend en prijzig
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mark, je bent geen kwaliteitsjournalist die de tijd neemt om te onderzoeken. Mark, je bent een vieze man. Je hebt een lekplek in je broek. En je brengt je beroepsgroep ten schande. Zelfs als &quot;amateur&quot; journalist voel ik me in mijn eer aangetast door je broddel werk. Het is duidelijk De Pers en Twitter.. een gaat het redden de ander niet. Het was leuk je gekend te heben... Mark...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
btw: dit een te lang stukje voor je? Ik tweet veel, vaak en kort op twitter, &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/bertboerland&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;volg me&lt;/a&gt;. Je krijgt er geen sticky fingers van..&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>iPhone and Mac OS X 10.5.6</title>
 <link>http://willy.boerland.com/myblog/iphone_and_mac_os_x_10_5_6</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/dala/295666524/&quot; title=&quot;APPLE &amp;amp; ICE (by D`ART)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm1.static.flickr.com/114/295666524_9d3d7692f8.jpg&quot; title=&quot;APPLE &amp;amp; ICE (by D`ART)&quot; alt=&quot;APPLE &amp;amp; ICE (by D`ART)&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;368&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Three days ago, I was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/bertboerland/3253785396/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;hacking my iPhone&lt;/a&gt; to the max and sure enough .. after installing &quot;categories&quot; to enable more aplications on the iPhone in folder alike structures, the phone crashed. Bad.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While I didnt actually looked forward to this, this would normally be solved by a restore.. Nops. By a jailbreak and a restore... Nops.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Somehow I was unable to get the phone in to DFU mode, the startingpoint of jailbreaking your iPhone. I could restore the phone towards the normal status (you always can!) but my first gen -not solded in Europe- was without an ATT contract so I had in fact an iBrick.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I tried more then two hours in two days to get get the phone into DFU. But everytime I did a restore form the DFU mode I got an error 1600, everytime I did the restore from recovry mode I got error 21.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Getting an device into DFU isnt rocket science: start iTunes, connect iPhone, hold power and home for 10 seconds, release power hold home, hold home for 10 seconds. Boom, you are in. It can take 3 or 4 tries but not 200. Ans I was underway of getting there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Only after way to much time DFUing my iPhone and reading what I did wrong, I found -yes at /the/ source- that an Mac OSX 10.5.6 &lt;i&gt;can not&lt;/i&gt; DFU restore an iPhone! Yes, the latest and geatest Apple OS X version as of this writing has a bug where you can not DFU your iPhone:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Fixing DFU mode on 10.5.6&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As noted previously OS X 10.5.6 introduced a bug that affected the use of DFU mode. with some Macs. There have been previously published hacks and techniques to fix this, but here is another method that can be used to temporarily restore DFU functionality in order to use QuickPwn or PwnageTool.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;   1. You will need an account with ADC (Apple Developer Connection) this is free and takes a few minutes to sign up, you should read the terms and conditions carefully and you should only sign up if you are thinking of developing applications in the future - http://developer.apple.com/mac/&lt;br /&gt;
   2. Download the disk image “IOUSBFamily-315.4-log.dmg”  for Mac OS X 10.5.5 Build 9F33” (yes, that is a “5” in 10.5.5 - this is a developer debug package of the USB kernel extension).&lt;br /&gt;
   3. Unplug non-vital USB equipment, such as external DVD writers, USB scanners, USB mass storage devices, at the most leave a Keyboard and Mouse connected.&lt;br /&gt;
   4. Install IOUSBFamily-315.4.1.pkg from within the disk image&lt;br /&gt;
   5. Reboot your system!&lt;br /&gt;
   6. Perform necessary DFU activity with QuickPwn or PwnageTool.&lt;br /&gt;
   7. Download the disk image “IOUSBFamily-327.4.0-log.dmg” for Mac OS X 10.5.6 Build 9G55”&lt;br /&gt;
   8. Intall IOUSBFamily-327.4.0.pkg from within the disk image&lt;br /&gt;
   9. Reboot your system!&lt;br /&gt;
  10. Reattach your USB peripherals.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Source &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.iphone-dev.org/search/10.5.6&quot;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;search 10.5.6 on iphone dev&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sure, this has been &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/f173/60659.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;automated&lt;/a&gt;, a small script that replaces your USB libraries to version 10.5.5&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After that I read the howto again at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hackthatphone.com/20/pwnagetool_2_2_1_1st_gen_iphone_expert.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;hackthatphone.com&lt;/a&gt; and was up and running in minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, jailbreaking your iPhone is easy, it really is. Do not install too weird programs if you care about your free time and are not that tech savy. Always use orginal IPSW files, dont trust the ones you have on your harddisk (fooled me!) and when using OS X 10.5.6 be sure to use the automator script to down your USB drivers to 10.5.5.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Have fun with your free jezus phone.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>DrupalCon Maastricht 2009 proposal is at the Drupal Association</title>
 <link>http://willy.boerland.com/myblog/drupalcon_maastricht_2009_proposal_is_at_the_drupal_association</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3369/3242051664_0644a3e46e.jpg?v=0&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
With the &lt;a href=&quot;http://dc2009.drupalcon.org/news/drupalcon-dc-sold-out&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;sold out&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://dc2009.drupalcon.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;DrupalCon Washinton DC&lt;/a&gt; getting closer, the community has to plan ahead. That is why the &lt;a href=&quot;http://association.drupal.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Drupal Association&lt;/a&gt; (DA)is looking on how future conferences in the USA should be organised (for example by &lt;a href=&quot;http://groups.drupal.org/node/17870&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;outsourcing&lt;/a&gt;). But the DA is also giving the organizing parties in the EU more time to prepare to rock as hard as possible This year, the DrupalCon EU 2009 will either be held in &lt;a href=&quot;http://groups.drupal.org/drupalcon-paris-2009&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Paris&lt;/a&gt; (France) or &lt;a href=&quot;http://groups.drupal.org/drupalcon-maastricht-2009&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Maastricht&lt;/a&gt; (Netherlands, &lt;i&gt;nearly&lt;/i&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://dc2009.drupalcon.org/news/drupalcon-dc-sold-out&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Belgium&lt;/a&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;misc/smileys/smile.png&quot; title=&quot;Smiling&quot; alt=&quot;Smiling&quot; /&gt; ) And today, the 31/1/09 all proposals should be in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This posting is to inform you that the Maastricht team did their job and filed their proposal &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/bertboerland/3238619145/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Connecting the Nodes&lt;/a&gt;&quot; towards the DA. The DA will decide if the DrupalSong will be played in Paris or in Maastricht in 2009. Either way, the community can be sure there will be a very good conference in the EU this year, organised &lt;i&gt;by&lt;/i&gt; the community &lt;i&gt;for&lt;/i&gt; the community. And where-ever the Con will be, we need you as an attendee, as a sponsor, as a speaker and as someone interested in World Domination.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>DrupalCon Maastricht 2009, The Germans are joing forces..</title>
 <link>http://willy.boerland.com/myblog/drupalcon_maastricht_2009_the_germans_are_joing_forces</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmswart/474195730/&quot; title=&quot;The number of people who have shaken hands an odd number of times is even (by dmswart)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm1.static.flickr.com/221/474195730_d159de43fd.jpg&quot; title=&quot;The number of people who have shaken hands an odd number of times is even (by dmswart)&quot; alt=&quot;The number of people who have shaken hands an odd number of times is even (by dmswart)&quot; width=&quot;375&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By the end of this month, all proposals for organising the DrupalCon EU 2009 should be in with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://assoiation.drupal.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Drupal  Association&lt;/a&gt;. The board of the Association will then vote on what team will be awarded to organise the DrupalCon. Up to recently three teams were tendering to organise the conference; &lt;a href=&quot;http://groups.drupal.org/drupalcon-paris-2009&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Paris&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://groups.drupal.org/drupalcamp-drupalcon-germany&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Koln&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://groups.drupal.org/drupalcon-maastricht-2009&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Maastricht in the Netherlands&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As on of the organisers of the Dutch team I am sad to see that the Germans will not be tendering after all, but very proud that they are joining forces and are switching over to the Maastricht Camp. Read more on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://groups.drupal.org/node/18480&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&quot;Germany DrupalCon Team is supporting Maastricht in 2009&quot;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Already lots of Belgium and Dutch people were doing the heavy lifting of writing and it is great to have &quot;ze zjermans&quot; on board as well, with three Nationalities tendering for organising the next EU Drupalcon in one place that is only dozen of kilometers away from &lt;a href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?q=maastricht&amp;amp;oe=utf-8&amp;amp;client=firefox-a&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;split=0&amp;amp;ll=50.979182,6.47644&amp;amp;spn=1.888392,4.943848&amp;amp;t=p&amp;amp;z=8&amp;amp;iwloc=addr&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Germany and Belgium&lt;/a&gt;, it might become a true European DrupalCon!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best of luck to our French friends. Whoever gets the ball, I am proud that people in the community are willing to spend time on organising a DrupalCon on a volunteer basis. Paris or Maastricht, DrupalCon 2009 EU will rock!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;The initial post of the Germans I was referring to, seemed like they are pro Maastricht. The German team might help the Maasricht team but they want to make clear they are pro a good DrupalCon, not aganst Paris!  And so are we, lets make sure that in 2009 we have a rockin&#039; Con in the EU, wherever it will take place&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
