A story about goobox
We finally met face to face after 5 years of on-line exchanges at the Reboot conference in Copenhagen, June 2007. We sipped beers sitting on the grass in the sun outside the venue.

How I met NancyWhite
We met, in June 2004, on a CP Square free formatted meeting in the Treehouse in Amsterdam. She and others of CP Square organized this meeting as a preconference session. It was a great Sunday, beautiful weather, and even more beautiful conversations.
Why I like TonZijlstra
Ton is a person who likes to see things in perspective. And although he and I think almost the same about information strategy, he always surprises me with anecdotes and other points of view. He has an (almost) academic way of looking at the world.
A story about me
Ton,
Nice to meet you here also. You not only have a second life, but also a third life etc.. Is this your 43rd life?
A story about TonZijlstra
Ton and I have known each other for a couple of years via our blogs. Luckily, I’ve been in Holland for a few days and spent a couple of days with Ton and Lilia Efimova.
What a great time. Along with Dutch culture and European history we talked a lot about all things geeky and of course our mutual passion for community. Ton was even better in person!
How I met Ralph Meijer
We met at BarCamp Amsterdam, where he was plotting Jabber world domination right alongside with Boris Mann.
How I met The Internet
It was in a basement of a university building somewhere in 1989. On a monochrome screen, in green letters on a black background the internet first introduced itself to me. I’ve been in daily contact almost ever since.
A story about Gunnar Langemark
Gunnar is this big blond man, living up to the Dane archetype. I met him at Reboot in 2005 and 2006, as well as in Brussels in sept 2006. Always up for a good conversation (around Drupal for instance), and always up for a good beer and a few good laughs as well.
How I met Robert Paterson
After a long time blogging friendship (since 2002 I think), we finally met face to face at the Reboot conference in Copenhagen in June 2006. Robert turned out to be a very gentle, soft-spoken but strong minded person. It was an absolute pleasure to talk to him and hear his stories.
The last time I saw Boris Mann
Was at Brussels BarCamp in Sept. 2006. We did a session together on how to make social software even more social, by using people (not information) as entrypoint for aggregation, navigation and information slicing.

We originally met at BarCamp Amsterdam in the fall of 2005.
