Four Starters Summer Tour
A small schedule with interesting events during this summer when Four Starters hits the road. Add your own in the comments if you have them.
Guido van Rossum — Python 3000
July 5th Guido will be visiting his old employer CWI in Amsterdam to present the state of Python 3000 and other things. I will be attending.
O’Reilly and friends — Web 2.0 expo
July 10th Brady Forrest and Jen Pahlka will be doing an European tour in July to get a feel for the European Web 2.0 community for the Berlin Expo.
I would like to extend their invitation to meetup to all readers of this blog. It will be nice to show a strong presence of European Web 2.0 activity. Four Starters and Tipit.to will of course be represented.
OpenCoffee — Delft
OpenCoffee Delft is up for a revival in the next couple of weeks. Watch out for an announcement here soon.
Further away (in distance and time):
Barcamp Cologne
August 17-19 there will be a Barcamp in Köln. This is pretty close to the Netherlands and it looks like a cool place to show and tell about cool stuff and meet old friends. I got an invitation from some German guys at Reboot who will be present (Upcoming page).
dConstruct and Barcamp Brighton
September 7-9 dConstruct looks to be an excellent event and with a Barcamp following it, it’s a great combi. I’ll probably drop into London a couple days earlier to visit Cristiano and other friends from Imperial College and maybe grab an OpenCoffee.
It does look like most Barcamps are filling up really fast mostly with local people (e.g. Barcamp Brussels). I discussed it at Reboot and it seemed like a good idea to set apart a small allowance of places for international visitors. People willing to travel should be rewarded for their efforts.

June 19th, 2007Some updates:
There already is a page for the Delft OpenCoffee Meetup where you can sign up: http://delftopencoffee.ning.com . Most of you won’t be familiar with the Ning network but it is the same network as most OpenCoffee Meetups including the London one use so I think it is the right one for now.
Additionally I will notify here when the BarCampBrighton tickets will become available. I am hoping that Alper and I are able to get our international tickets

June 21st, 2007It looks like BarcamCologne filled up in no time. I filled in my details on the alternative wiki and I suggest we should go anyway.
Also check out the Jaiku channel for this event.

July 26th, 2007hey alper, found you on the barcamp cologne list. sadly you’re on the pending/waiting list. there are lots of people coming to the barcamp this year and we already had a devhouse here last weekend. drop me a line if you are coming to cologne. i guess it should be no problem to get in there with me
btw you can stay at my plaze if you like.

July 27th, 2007I thought as much but didn’t know if it would be appropriate to Barcrash. I’ve already booked a ticket to go on holiday on Aug. 17 instead, so that’s off unfortunately.
Next time on an event in Köln, I would love to visit.
