Two weeks in two minutes

Friday, December 5th, 2008

Agh, ok, I really really need to get caught up so I can actually post about what I’m doing as I’m doing it. So I’m going to blow through this stuff really quickly. Apologies.

Zagreb was cool, much livelier than Pula. The group at MaMa was really awesome. They are very much less ideological than the people in Pula, but that allows them to be more inclusive and they have a great community. They have a thing called “Skill Sharing” every Saturday, where people come and hang out and show each other how to do cool stuff. There’s a pretty diverse (in terms of age and gender) group of 20-50 or so people who come frequently. They even have a few people in their 50s and 60s who AREN’T old-school hackers, but rather people who learned computers/free software later in their lives. I think that’s really cool.
