And until Thursday when he’s traveling to Africa, to be more exact he is going to Senegal. And from 3 to 9 of August he will be in his Campus at Puigcerdא.
TMS Ruge interviews Joeri Poesen, an open source advocate and the co-founder of Bantalabs, an open source web development, consulting and training firm with offices in Senegal and France. Joeri talks about choosing a town in Senegal as the base for his company, and the adjustments he has had to make working with clients in a culture where business relationships must often be established through face-to-face contact. And TMS presses him on the role of expats in helping shape Africa’s digital economies.
Prior to moving to Africa Joeri co-organized DrupalCon Paris 2009 and directed Drupal development projects and training at AF83 Paris. In Belgium he co-founded Drupal agency Krimson, architected call center software and processes at IPGlobalnet and consulted on IT projects for Deloitte Belgium. Joeri is @jpoesen on Twitter.
