T-DOSE The place where experts meet on 25 and 26 October 2008

This years T-DOSE was filled with prominent speakers on various topics. We had Kris Buytaert speaking about Drupal and Open Source virtualization, Ber Kessels talking about Drupal in large organizations, Dag Wieers talking about CentOS and mrepo, Onno Zweers talking about the first programmers in the Netherlands, Bert Boerland gave a talk about 42 reasons to start a Not For Profit organization, John Willis talking about Cloud computing and Geerd_Dietger Hoffmann gave a talk on how to use your wiimote for presentations and showed us all cool things you could do with it.

Unfortunately Hans de Goede had to cancel his talk and presence on T-DOSE.
