Conflict students vs. WordPress geeks.

I’ve been spending today at WordCamp Israel 2007, a conference focused on bloggers, blogging, and of course, bloggers blogging using WordPress.

It’s being held in Michlelet Afeka, a small engineering college in Tel Aviv, so part of me feels like I’m in school. I don’t mind, as long as it’s not a university located in Ramat Gan that starts with a ‘B’.

The interesting thing is that I’m so used to being in Israeli lectures on conflict management, conflict resolution, negotiation, etc. The students are very argumentative and the classes are intense.

Now I get to be in a lecture hall with 100% absolutely adorable Israeli geeks. They make jokes, they wear swag t-shirts, they are chilled out. They are clearly not conflict management students.

It’s a nice break.

    I am trying to get people together to take part in A Week of Positive Blogging, from Nov. 4th to Nov. 10th 2007. The idea is for bloggers all over the world to join in blogging everyday during that week about positive things that are going on in the world. There are a list of topics that have been chosen for each day of the week that can be found at my blog. Hochmah and Musar

    It is my hope that this will be a way to show the positive things that are taking place in various communities around the world. Also, we want to do what the media often does not do and that is show that there are also positive people doing what they can to help others.

    If you you have a blog it would be great if you would participate. If you know someone with a blog please pass this on to them. To see the details and join in on what we are trying to do go here.
