Last Thursday we placed the pillar we made for the event in Terheijden in top of the church tower. The Traais Energie Collectief (TEC) organised an event in the village: a treasure hunt. To reach the end of the hunt the children had to climb the very old church tower. A rather rickety looking, but hundreds of years old and in fact rather sturdy winding staircase leads at least a hundred steps up to a little attick. That is by far not the highest point of the tower. On that attick a pillar stands with a [ … ]

We were already busy, busy, busy… And sometimes we already got help from Sam, Jordi or Annika. But it was not enough. So we started looking for more programmers. And we found them. Timo was the first. He will come two days a week to start with. In time we will see if we expand that. Then Morten came. He is still studying and he will do his internship next year.

It was really too much to translate it…) [ … ]

We are organising a hackathon on May 26! “We” are the FAIR2 Consortium, that is FAIR2 Media plus allies: Jeroen Wimmers and Jordi Boin. We created a logo for the Consortium now; we did not have a need for it before but now it is one of those extra tasks to do. We also needed a website for the hackathon, of course. Jeroen made that. And we found two sponsors! A hackathon is a meeting of often 24 hours (ours is 12) where nerds and others meet to use their creativity and skills to [ … ]
