Cvander:

In Buenos Aires, people from the web industry is gathering for Palermo Valley, a great networking opportunity. Last Wednesday I joined them in the nice Marca Futuro showroom and found out about many new projects and also great results for current companies in the country.

There’s a lot happening around here. Many good projects like Copada, Geelbe, Keegy, LemonTV, Popego, PsicoFXP, Coworkcentral, Killer Startups, 11Feeds, Finclu, etc. The best part is the cordiality of the Argentinian entrepreneurs, so I’m glad to be around. A short video from there:

It’s been a while since my last video. This was shot in the Campus Party event in Colombia this week. The event first started in Spain and now is expanding strongly to Latin America. This is a Lan Party that gathers groups of users like gamers, developers, bloggers, free software enthusiasts, etc.

I’m in California enjoying San Francisco and the surrounding cities. This week is the web 2.0 expo.

Since I haven’t been writing much this days in the blog, I did a short video:

Somebody asked me in Miami if I was some sort of a FOWA fan, since he saw me also in London. I had a great time in London last year, but It was even better this new edition in Miami.

From the conferences, I really enjoyed the great presentation by Cal Henderson, the energy from Emily Boyd, the challenges of Blaine Cook and the inspiration by Gary Vaynerchuk. And it was also great to hear Kathy Sierra and Matt Mullenweg again.

The networking was great both in the conference area and the night party and breakfast (I left early so, I missed the beach party on saturday afternoon). And from that networking, I really enjoyed spending a lot of time with several developers and entrepreneurs from Latinamerica that joined the event traveling from their countries or sharing their stories from the life in Miami.

I also wrote a longer review in spanish about the event. If you missed, check the coverage by cNet and pictures in flickr.

Uma saudação desde São Paulo, uma gigantesca metrópole que está recebendo pela primeira vez o Campus Party no Parque Ibirapuera, ou Bienal, como melhor se conhece. Graças à equipe de Windows Live eu vim passar uma semana no Campus, onde pude contrastar interessantes diferenças entre o mercado de Espanha e o de Brasil. E sem dúvida, encantado de conhecer este pais tão latino americano e tão especial, onde a alegria predomina e vem socializar, aprender e compartir.

The last paragraph was translated with the help of my friend Anna. I was basically telling about my first trip to Brazil to participate in the Brazilian Campus Party here in Sao Paulo. I had the chance to be a Campusero in the Spanish Edition of Campus Party in Valencia twice already. It is a great event to meet people involved in development, design, blogs, videogames and other computer and internet stuff. And we’re talking about heavy users so watching their habits and enjoying all the user content that populates flickr, twitter, youtube and tons of other websites is amazing.

If you want to learn more about Campus Party in Brazil, check the posts in spanish from Eduardo in Alt1040, Manu in Gizmologia, Carolina and Juan from Clipset and also the work from the Pixel and Dixel team (they are also updating the official Spanish blog). Laneros is also broadcasting live for the colombian community where the Campus is heading next. And if you want to follow all the information for the event, check the great aggregator fromo Blogblogs.

TwittBarna, the first monthly meeting of twitter users in Barcelona is starting tonight in the Irish Rock Cafe (Plaza Urquinaona, 5). It’s about sharing a drink, talk about the world of twitter and meet the people behind the avatar.

The event is part of Twittday, a project that started in Madrid with TwittMad. Check out the flickr pics from previews events.

One year ago I read online about LeWeb3, this year on its Fouth Edition, I decided to not only read about it, but to be part of it, thanks to the people of Zemanta.

I’m heading to Paris on tuesday.. that means that my twitter, tumblr and flickr account will be on fire.

The biggest internet event in Europe, more than two thousand participants, many entrepreneurs and great speakers…the perfect atmosphere to get inspired!

Update: My review of LeWeb 3 (in Spanish)

This 29th of november, Networking Activo will have its Second Business Meeting event in Barcelona and I’ll be there. The first one in Madrid was a great opportunity to meet a lot of people from the Internet business in Spain.

Thanks to Emilio for the invitation and hope to meet more great people -more than 180 confirmed guests. The program seems very complete with a Keynote from Enrique Dans, a well known teacher and blogger here in Spain.

Update: The event has live streaming today from Citilab in Quicktime.

I have arrived to the lovely Seville very excited to spend the weekend, and be part of Evento Blog Second Edition, the biggest event for the blog industry in Spain.

The program seems very promising, it includes a great diversity of workshops and conferences; the networking this weekend will be great.
I’m particularly interested in the conferences of Hernan Casciari (Orsai), Jose Luis Orihuela (eCuaderno) and Biz Stone (twitter).

Wordpress users, check out a demo of a great plugin

By the way, this weekend I’ll also meet Jure Cuhalev from Slovenia. I first meet him in Web 2.0 expo in Berlin, were he introduced me to Zemanta. They’ve been working on a technology to analyze contents while you write. The main objective is being able to auto-complete your posts with pictures, tags, links and related links on the fly. Seriously, one of the best plugins I’ve seen for Wordpress, and a great opportunity for develop it in spanish.

Jure will be in Sevilla during the weekend. He booked the flight to attend EBE, but the event registration was already closed -since the website is in Spanish he asked for my help, but it was to late-. He would love to meet other bloggers in town and share a demo, so let him know at Zemanta blog.

Last thursday we meet in Buda Bar with Jeremiah Owyang, an interesting guy from the Bay Area that is doing some blogger dinners everywhere he goes. It is his second time in Barcelona, since he had his honeymoon here a few years ago.

There were some familiar faces and good networking. The evening ended in Ciudad Comdal (my favorite Tapas place in Barna) were we started talking about some OpenSoftware projects, and the lack of marketing that the majority of projects have to achieve the mainstream.

It was a great discussion about the need of a team of marketing and business professionals to help the Open Source community. Since the Open(whatever) is fashionable this days, we ended up talking about OpenMarketing.

Imagine this team that will focus on asking the right questions to the developers of OpenSource projects. It is about making marketing mix plans and adding value to projects. The main concern is with the profitability for the team, but this marketing has to be Open and a learning excersice for developers. I am sure that the ones that help will get good promotion for their names -branding is as important as cash-. Surgeons and lawyers do complicated work pro bono, so lets share the Open Source culture to the marketing world.

Anyway, Jeremiah left some thoughts about the meeting in his blog and also some pics in flickr:barcelonabloggernov07.
