Casa Robino

Hi lovely people of the Casa.
As a Wikipedia worshiper, I was really interested into meeting the great priests, rabbis and imams of my beloved religion.
If you are curious you can take a look on http://wikimania2009.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schedule
It's a bit hard for me to give a description of the conference, I guess that it look a bit like all those free culture gatherings, a majority of male-westerners-young-geeks with the same cultural codes talking together. But still, there is a real focus onto spreading the free culture into the third world. For exemple, I met an Indonesian guy who told me that an agreement was found with the Tropen Museum from Amsterdam (a museum that I highly recomend you to visit )to release hundred of thousand of pictures of former Dutch East Indies under free licence. The hope is that in the following years, the "third-world languages" wikipedias such as Hindi, Arabic or Swahili are gonna grow and fill the existing gap with the others wikipedias. The Wikimedia fundation is going to direct its efforts into this direction.

I was also extremly glad to see that people from the Israeli and the arabic wikipedias where sharing a lot together.

Also, I love Buenos Aires, I feel at home there, definitely. People are extremly friendly and welcoming, the parties are amazing. Weather is just fine. I'm following a non vegetarian desintoxicating diet based on beef meat after my long vegetarian stay in casarobino;). Trying to understand more the interesting story of this region. I'm also preparing myself to seriously hit the road, with the thumb of course.
