BlogFest in Riva del Garda, 12-14 September 2008

Tags: barcamp Trento by paolo 3 Comments

Wow, there will be a great blogfest in Riva del Garda on 12, 13, 14 September 2008!
Since it is very close to Trento, I’ll be able to attend all of it, great!
The Web site is at Blogfest.it and I really suggest you to come to Riva del Garda (a gorgeous small city!) and keep an eye on the blogfest. There will also be also 3 simultaneous Barcamps! I’ll post more details when the date is a little bit closer.
See you in Riva in September!
