Announcing Elgg Camp Italy!
I am pleased to announce that thanks to Social Business World, the first ever Elgg Camp Italy will take place May 20th - 22nd, 2016 in Montelabbate, Italy!
Through the sponsorship of Social Business World and The Elgg Foundation, many core Elgg developers, Elgg implementors, and users will be present. Michele outlines the details and goals for ECI16:
[This] will be...a triple track event where three groups of people - developers, users, manufacturers - will be able to not only meet each other and share great time together but also actively participate in building a better community and give forward.
Read the full details and the preliminary schedule in the announcement on SBW, and be sure to register ASAP! We'll post updates to the schedule and speakers as the details are finalized. Hope to see you there!
Brett

I just wanted to express my gratitude towards Social Business World, and the people working there, for inviting me to a great Elgg Camp.
It was a really nice treat not only to meet up with developers, but also meet end users, who know nothing about Elgg, PHP or other tech woodoo, and see that what Open Source can do for them and their livelihood.
Everybody was really nice and forthcoming – so much I was a little tempted to move to Italy (they have excellent food and coffee there too).
It was fun to meet so many of the core developers, and some plugin developers as myself.
Special thanks to Juho for many good finnish translations, performed live at the beach :-)
Everybody I spoke to, called this Elgg Camp the best they had ever attended.
Michele and Luca, please thank all who was involved with the Camp in Italy.
I just wanted to reiterate how amazing ECI was! Thanks a million times to Michele and the rest of SBW for all the hard work organizing, entertaining, and feeding all of us!
I will make my slides available after confirming they're able to be published.
Am I Mr. B?
I thought I had posted my talk... if not here it is: http://www.slideshare.net/beck24/elgg-solr-presentation
Unfortunately, my work hasn't cleared my presentation for unlimited distribution, so I can't post it here. :-/
In better news, I'm working to have the framework I discussed during the talk released as OSS, so the features might be coming to GitHub soon. *fingers crossed*
