I’m happy to say that I spent the day working with my friend Noel Hidalgo. Also known as No Neck Noel.
This is cause for celebration because the last time I saw Noel he was leaving the country on a seven month tour of the world to visit the seven continents, sail the seven seas, see the seven wonders of the sea and….. well, you get it.
His project “The Luck of Seven” has brought him back to San Francisco, where I now live.
Noel hasn’t just been trancing about. He’s been doing interviews. I found this interview with Dries Buytaert to be fantastic. Noel put it up on his site as I was at the height of my research for my masters thesis on Drupal.
Noel has a 112 day beard going on. Which, if you know me, you know I am a fan of beards.
Noel was also critical in my thinking of CopyCamp.org — which is in the second stage of of the Knight News Challenge. So it’s good timing to have him come and look over my proposal.
From SF Noel will go up to Vancouver, back down to LA and over to Ohio. If you can lend him a hand in any way — I’m sure this traveling vagabond of open source wonders would gladly appreciate it.
