I uploaded loads of new pictures in the gallery! There are new pictures of my last few months in Brasil, including the pictures from the national meeting.

There are also pictures from my travel to Alaska, and a bunch of pictures from around the house and of the hitchhiking trip with Ben last weekend. Go check them out: http://gallery.walterheck.com

I am very busy at the moment with all the collective stuff and all. That’s why updates have been scarse. Of course, it’s not all work and no play. This weekend I went on a hitchhiking trip with Ben, another guy at the collective here. Read the story at Ben Hanna’s Blog.

You can also read up on some of the other collective participants’ blog: Dougie’s blog, Kelly’s blog or Jim’s blog.

We organised a big couchsurfing meeting for the end of May. Thursday was a national holiday, so by organising events for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday people still only had to take 1 day off from work or studies.

Of course the biggest groups of people came from Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo (these two cities have the biggest communities in CS in Brasil). That said, we also had people coming in from Bélém, Salvador, Maceio and even Manaus. If you’re living in Brasil, you will know how special it was to have people from that far away coming all the way to BH “just” for a cs meeting. More after the jump…
