BarCamp Copenhagen is only 2 months away now, which also means that the "we" ( aka. the team behind) is starting to work really fast to get the ends together.
There's still some seats left - so hurry up and join us =)
BarCamp Copenhagen this year is going to be a different format than the 2 first BarCamp Copenhagen. Basically because we have decided to make it on a whole saturday instead of a friday (as it has been the two last years). And we have also added a lot to the sessions and the format=)
We are looking forward to see you!

David tagged me in his online habits survey - so here goes :
What site do you visit first thing in the morning (after your blog)?
Actually I don't visit my blog first - I think it's gmail and then possibly some social networking site and 2 - 3 categories in my feedreader. Also I tend to visit
greengirlsglobal.com for whom I have been blogging for a good while now. Then my clients sites to start my working hours for the day.
Name a service that you recently discovered and like?
Hm. that would be
podcastmachine,
actics and
IRL- but a little disclaimer is that a couple of friends are working on them (I am working on IRL myself - and I think it's a brilliant idea). They do have a huge thing in common though:
Vision to change the world, awesome. I don't know if it's a service but I am really into the
365days group on flickr these days. It my little creative project...
A blog whose design has impressed you?
My very favorite blogdesign (still) is
la petite claudine - I simply love her header - and her blog...
A widget that would really help out but which doesn’t exist yet?
I think all kind of practical proximity widgets has a long way to go still. They really have to be convenient for the users though - otherwise I don't like widgets...
The last 2.0 book that you’ve read?
I am currently reading
presentation zen ( the book), and I finished
Clay Shirky's "here comes everybody" back in April - oh and I am terribly happy for my
"how to be a rock star freelancer" book.
An online service that you think will become indispensable?
I really hope that
actics will come indispensable, or
dothegreenthing - basically services that makes you change the world.
A service that should exist because it’s sorely needed?
I don't know if it's a service - but a decision making mechanism that can change the world without have 50 politicians agree upon something before there's action. I think the world really needs that now. Decisions and actions - no more talking. But services that encourage actions are sorely needed. Services that makes people change their everyday patterns for more sustainability are sorely needed.
i think ethical proximity is gonna be huge in the future.
A blogger or net-entrepreneur whose work you admire?
I really admire people on their way up struggling, who succeeds in the end because of hard work. I admire
J C Fischer for putting out
his book ( he even made a dedication to me in it !!!!) and I truely and utterly admire
Laura Kiralfy who is my partner for the
inreallife.dk network for her creativity and her ways of action. Otherwise I will say
Chris Messina - for his work with both Barcamps and Coworking... rock on guys.
Im passing the survey on to - well
Sanjay (who we are interviewing for
Geek Army Knife tonight) and to
Elmine

Today is a big day for our
network startup IRL - offline stuff for online people.
It's a network we made so Laura and I could act out our social entrepreneurship within a framework - and open up the danish web scene for more people.
But TODAY we are having our first workshop - starring the one and only
Pedro Custodio who was in Copenhagen anyway for the
reboot conference.
The workshop is about Community building and it is a more advanced form of workshop...
I have huge secret ambitions with IRL and I think it has a lot of potential to actually create a network of professional web enthusiasts.... It has been a good start even though we possibly hitted it off to ambitiously. So the workshop today is free =) and we're about 15 people who will be playing with communities togethere with Pedro..., there's still room for 2 -3 persons more if you're interested...
I think it's gonna rock=)
