In the end I only joined one other talk at LOTS – the one on Open Forums. The rest of the time I talked with Christian Laux, Mike Widmer, and Jan Widmer of Openlaw, To Georg Greve of the FSF Europe, Myriam Schweingruber of WilhelmTux, Hansruedi Hänni who showed me how Asterix would work (I recently installed Skype so I’m getting more interested in making phone calls over the net), the head of research of shiftTHINK because we had met on #lots.ch before and talked about wikis and social networking (in German: 2005-02-02 Software). She mentioned tweakfest.ch in passing. I’ll have to investigate this. It seems to be some sort of festival:
Festival for media culture & digital lifestyle – tweakfest is an annual four day festival introduced in spring 2006 in the city of Zurich. tweakfest consits of a conference, art expositions, a science fair, a consumer electronics show, workshops, a creative lab, parties and networking lounges.
We should talk about FreeCulture and OpenContent, there! Last time I talked to somebody from the local arts school (Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst Zürich, HGZK) they were very interested.
