Barcelona Developer Conference
0
WHAT IS BARCELONA DEVELOPERS CONFERENCE?
Conceived by a group of entrepreneurs, is an initiative created with the goal of filling an important gap left by the lack of this type of events in Spain. Beyond that, the event targets developers in general, placing a especial focus on new technologies in the areas of social platforms, mobile, and robotics.
Additionally, we would like to showcase new tools and ideas, while providing network opportunities for enriching developers, students, businesses, investors in the city of Barcelona, Spain, and beyond.
WHEN WILL THE CONFERENCE BE HELD?
The Conference will be held from Nov 17th through the 19th at Barcelona’s Maritime Museum. This is an ideal venue with space for up to 1.5k people, and will provide the theme of the conference: Navigating the Future.
WHAT DOES THE CONFERENCE OFFERS YOU?
The conference aims to be an ideal event for:
- Learning
- Growing professionally
- Present a personal project
- Find or offer a job
- Find or offer investment opportunities.
- Expand / Share knowledge.
- Meet people and communities
from around Spain and the continent
- Have fun.
WHY SUCH A RADICAL DEPARTURE FROM THE TRADITIONAL CONFERENCE FORMAT ?
The most notable difference in this event is that we have set ourselves the goal to create an event that conforms to the needs of the attendees. To accomplish this goal, we are partnering with as many communities as possible and asking for their support proposing talks, gathering attention, and helping organizing.
The attendees and community members will have an input via the website: http://www.bcndevcon.org to up-vote talks, discuss, and to promote their interests via a set of social tools, allowing attendees to have a tailor-made conference.

Happy Birthday Open Classifieds ;)
0650 days
Today is the 1st year birthday of Open Classifieds.
Actually the idea it’s older but the first release (0.8) it’s just 1 year old.
Since then there’s been more than 16.000 downloads and as far as I know few thousands of sites currently using it ;)
I want also to use this post to ask for help.
The growth of downloads and forum posts it’s been increasing considerable. This brings lot of work…
I need help to continue developing and to maintain this soft.
Currently the 2.0 version is not even started due to the lack of help.
Also here there’s a list of things you help with!
- Development
- Design
- Documentation (the FAQs are really old v1.5.4)
- Translate the site to any other language
- Donations to pay hosting!
- And any other kind of help it’s welcome.
UPDATE:
Chi, an Australian friend of mine, did this awesome new design for OC, but needs to be coded to HTML+CSS, after that I can make it work in OC ;)
BTW I’m at the Campus Party Europe, having lot of fun ;)
Open Classifieds chosen for Campus Party Europe 2010
5672 days
I have really good news for me and I hope for many of you as well: Open Classifieds has been chosen for Campus Party Europe 2010 as one of the projects that will be showcased in this event.
This fact is not easy since there are currently 50.110 applications and only 800 have been chosen. From this 800 they will chose the best 20 projects in each field in order to participate in a 3000€ prize.
Open Classifieds is, with less than 1 year old, becoming a reference in the Classifieds Software and in the Open Source community. Currently there are more than 14.000 downloads and more than 2.000 active sites using our software.
This event will take place in Madrid from the 14th of April to the 18th and there are plenty of conferences, workshops , etc.

.htaccess for Dreamhost users
9701 days
If any of you it’s currently using Dreamhost as Hosting provider, since yesterday they had made some modificataions deprecating “Options +FollowSymlinks”.
This means your site will return an 500 Error.
After talking to the support for more than 1 hour they admitted they have made changes in the policies and now we should use “Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch” instead.
Pretty bad communication from them and making this changes without noticing them.
If you are affected by this issue, please your .htaccess for Open Classifieds should look like this to get to work:
ErrorDocument 404 / Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^category/(.+) index.php?category=$1 RewriteRule ^offer/(.+) index.php?category=$1&type=0 RewriteRule ^need/(.+) index.php?category=$1&type=1 RewriteRule ^type/(.+) index.php?type=$1 RewriteRule ^publish-a-new-ad-for-free/ new/index.php RewriteRule ^contact/ contact/index.php RewriteRule ^privacy-policy/ privacy/index.php RewriteRule ^sitemap/ sitemap/index.php RewriteRule ^advanced-search/ search/index.php RewriteRule ^map/ map/index.php RewriteRule ^(.+)/(.+)/(.+)/(.+)$ item.php?item=$1&type=$2&category=$3&title=$4 </IfModule>
Remember that needs to be in your language.
This would be fixed for Open Classifieds 1.6.1 that is coming soon with few improvements to make your life easier.
I’m getting pretty annoyed by this hosting, since I use a Privvate Server and this things should never happen (as this other one http://j.mp/d8WVXY).
Browser support for IE 6 is dead
2I hate IE6 as many of you do. Long a go I’ve decided that my scripts are not going to be tested in ie6 anymore.
Few webpages they are not longer supporting ie6 and are recommending to change it, to use other browser. But now the giant the “Big Boss” Google is doing one step further to say bye to IE6.
They sent me this email yesterday that I absolutely aprove!
