Posted by kieslinger in : Uncategorized , add a commentas I am just now preparing for our first iCamp review, where we will have to present the results of our first project year, I am collecting some evidence of our challenging work.
I came across the weblog of one group of students (from four different European countries), who participated in the first iCamp trials. It was just great to read about the group’s experience. Really makes it seem worth while

back from holidays January 8, 2007
Posted by kieslinger in : Uncategorized , add a commentI think it was Ralf Klamma, who told me in a recent phone conversation about a website where they list some rules on how to write a weblog, e.g. how often you have to post in order to be read by others, etc. I quickly forgot about this number again and I suppose that others do so as well 
I had a wonderful time skiing (there was at least some artificial snow and the weather was just great, only sunshine all day long!) and spending some time with my family. One of the most popular Christmas presents in my family btw was the new Nintendo console Wii. We had great fun with it!
Now I am back in the office and will spend some time with preparing our first iCamp project review, some now project proposals, publications, event organisations, etc. etc. etc….
