Voi continua din seria “Imagini din Vancouver” cu alt slideshow. Este vorba despre “Night of Lights Lantern Festival”, un eveniment care are loc anual chiar in zona unde locuim.

Ideea este simpla; pentru cativa dolari, celor care doresc li se pun la dispozitie toate conditiile pentru a construi cele mai fantastice felinare. Seara, se aduna puhoi de lume si are loc o procesiune a felinarelor pe ritmuri de tobe intr-o atmosfera de-a dreptul fascinanta; in final are loc un spectacol de balet si dans - un fel de dansul focului Presupun ca ideea are radacini in traditia locala a indienilor combinata cu influentele asiatice. Oricum, spectacolul este superb.

Noi nu am stiut prea bine despre ce e vorba, ne-am plimbat in timpul zilei prin parc si am vazut pregatirile; seara ne-am hotarat sa ne reintoarcem. Si nu ne-a parut rau.

Mai jos am pus intr-un slideshow imaginile pe care le-am surprins. Nu am avut trepied, iar camera mea este point & shoot, dar cred ca sunt destul de interesante si asa.

Carmen Holotescu and Sabin Buraga presented ROSI and eLiberatica initiative to the Romanian “Linux and virtual e-learning environments” seminar at Arad.
The event was organized by some of high profile Romanian IT academics like Antoanela Naaji,  Mihai Jalobeanu, Dragos Acostachioaie si Sabin Buraga.

Pe vremea cand ma aflam in tara si luasem hotararea de a emigra, ma intrebam adeseori cum arata locurile unde ma voi duce, care este viata de zi cu zi intr-un oras ca Vancouver. Nu eram interesat de prezentarile turistice sau economice, mai degraba as fi vrut sa simt, sa vad, sa traiesc cumva ceea ce se intampla in viata unui om obisniut intr-o zi obisnuita, acolo departe, unde urma sa am un nou inceput. Si nu prea gaseam imagini si informatii de genul acesta.

Cu cateva zile in urma, mi-a venit ideea de a lua camera digitala si de a face cateva poze pe drumul pana la servici (flash format, 1.9MB).

I spent the latest days implementing Drupal for eLiberatica website. One of the challenges of the website is to have it bilingual. A lot of local Romanian websites dealing with international conferences are only in English.

From my point of view, localization is a very important issue, especially when speaking of Open Sources and Free Software.

I found a nice working module for Drupal named localizer. Roberto Gerola is the author and I wish to thank him using this occasion for helping me and giving me proper advice every time when I was in need. He is planning to release another interesting module for Drupal soon.

Good luck Roberto and thanks for helping ROSI and eLiberatica.

This time is about InterAKT, well known for their bundle of some of the most popular Dreamweaver extensions.
Beside Kollection that is costing around $400 they also provided some free products like PHAkt and JSEclipse.

I don’t know if this is good or bad news for IT community  (I hope they will continue to be involved with open source and offering free solutions), but for sure is a recognition of the quality of Romanian IT professionals.

Congratulations for InterAKT team.
