Vitry-sur-Seine

In the morning we went to Planete Lilas to help out... while some transplanted topinambur, a root vegetable - like a potato - of the family of sunflowers, other continued to plant cabbages in the next garden.

The spanish cooked the (greasy) lunch and after we had a free afternoon, most of the people used it to go to visit paris, me and carlos decided to visit the /tmp/lab, the local hacklab, a free place to experiment and play with software and hardware... the place was amazing, quite punk and at the same time ultra-technological, from electronic-microscope (to reverse-engineer crypto-chips) to a mobile phone server antenna and lots of wireless experiences, you could find all different kinds of projects, there we meet philip who explained us some of the projects there, he was recently also working on different OpenSoftware licenses, like the eGPL and CUL, two new licenses that can be resumed to "free but with ethic"...

Our visit to the tmplab was fast as they are preparing the HackerSpace Festival and doing some presentations in other places and then we caught the train to paris, to meet the others, and have a party (music and dancing) in the senna...
