After something like 15 hours of flying or whatever, here I am, in France!
Things are good so far — staying with Christophe Aguiton of France Telecom and traveling south to Aix-en-Provence momentarily to meet up with the rest of the crew, I’m here to present on BarCamp, WineCamp, and Coworking at FING and BarCampParis. What I’m most interested in is what these folks are up to — and seeing how international solidarity and collaboration can further the plight of the modern independent. After all, they’ve got a bit of a head start on us, considering their history.

Man, you’re living the life with all them Barcamps! Am jealous. 🙂
This is cool ! I was attending at the fing videoconference. And may be i’ll be on the Barcamp. See you there.
Glad to hear you hooked up over there w/ Christophe! And I’m jealous that I’m not in France too… I loved Aix-en-Provence
Have fun Chris, hi to Christophe
An emphatic YES. I think you’ve hit the nail right on the head. We need more of this kind of thoughtful perception.
