I will be speaking at the Lasalle University in Barcelona on Tuesday at the world-wide conference of Lasallian Universities. Lluis asked me to not just talk about Sakai but about Open Source in general and general future directions for teaching and learning with Technology – what a fun topic and wide open opportunity.
\nI will take advantage of the opportunity to revisit with my friends at the Campus project and get an update on the Moodle\/Sakai\/OKI tool interoperability project. Now that it is April – I am really looking forward to seeing what the Campus project has accomplished with 6+ months of work.
\nI hope to also see friends from Lleida and Valencia if I have time.
\nOn Thursday and Friday I do a bit of touristing. The CERN High Energy Physics facility (the birthplace of the web) is having an open house for the next set of Large Hadron Detectors (about 5 stories tall) – the beam line is about to turn on and it is the last time the public will be allowed into the pit. I visited CERN with my family in 2004 and Steven Goldfarb gave my family a tour of the detector when it was 1\/3 done – very impressive.
\nThen on Friday April 11 – I sing with Steve’s Band (The Canettes Blues Band – http:\/\/www.canettes.ch\/) at the Mr. Pickwicks Pub in Geneva (http:\/\/www.canettes.ch\/). This will be my first live band experience – I will sing one song – “I have got my Mojo Working” – I have been practicing for about 3 months in my car as I drive between Lansing and Ann Arbor.
\nI am quite excited and very nervous. This is my first time singing with a band – I am hopeful all those years of serious Karaoke dedication will finally pay off. There will be a video team there so it should be caught on tape – could be awesome – could be bad. It might be my *only* time singing with a live band – so I want to make it a good one.
\nHey – if you are in the Geneva Area – stop by Mr. Pickwicks – here is the Gig URL:

\nSteve tells me when the Canettes play at Mr. Pickwicks – seats are at a premium – so come early.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
