I'm attending Startup Weekend in TLV which is turning out to be a really great and colorful event.
One of the coolest things is that I finally got to meet Tim Cullen which is leading the development of a local Drupal community in Ramalah.
I'm a big believer in the epic power of open-source to enable communication where none exists or where barriers (technological or political) might limit communication and innovation.
I took ( a low quality and shaky ) video of Tim's presentation.
This brings me to make the safe assumption that a local peace initiative can really help Drupal 8 adoption ;)
