The last time I saw Zak Greant

We talked about what we might do in our local region of Greater Vancouver to encourage more talented developers, especially with strengths in open source technologies.

Also, we worked on planning the OSCMS Summit, a chance to get a bunch of open source developers together who are looking at solving similar goals.

As per usual, we drank long tall glasses of German beer. Yeah, I think we’re both open sourcies.
