GBC 07 : the final act

The folks at entelia delivered a keynote, intended to boost the awareness of the folks in regards to Drupal, a ContentManagementSystem, built in PHP which apparently can serve a wide array of needs. I liked those guys.

My brother came up next to talk about pblogs. He did well, though he was a bit too anxious and nervous -- going on stage does that to people. He dropped some hints as to this new service we are working on ( related to the greek blog-o-sphere ). More on that to follow on subsequent posts.

Back home - I missed home, then again, I always do. Once again, a million thanks and congrats to Stefanos for putting it all together.

GBC : follow-up

Matthew Mullenweg delivered a great keynote - packed with some nice references and information related to their business, their plans for the future, history and a whole lot more. The attendees loved it, lots of questions in the Q&A section, as expected. Great, great stuff.

Panayiotis Vryonis came next, with a keynote related to politics and social networking / user contributed-provided content. An interesting subject, which, again fired up some interesting questions ( and subsequent answers by vrypan).

Greek Bloggers Camp 07 - brief overview

My brother, our girlfriends and sugar arrived yesterday, barely missing Steve Smith's keynote, which was mighty interesting. Speaking of whom, he is a really smart person, definitely one of the most interesting attendees I have met ( thus far ). Panos Sambrakos keynote was also really great, well presented and well conceived. The kind of keynote that would probably get even the more old-fashioned, do-it-the-old-way kind of advertisers to rethink their strategy.

In addition to the core experience of the event, so to speak, I got to meet with friends from the past ( George Moschovitis ) as well as (finally) meet with Wiggler guys. Great fun.

More keynotes scheduled for today. More updates to follow.
