This week completes the first half of 2018. Which really is a bit of a shock, as it means the next two months will be mostly about enjoying the summer, while summer still felt a long way of. That summer will end with Elmine’s birthday unconference and bbq, SSTM18, on August 31st and September 1st.

Overall I feel I had a pleasant first half of 2018, mostly unhurried in the way I aimed for. That has created lots of headspace, visible from both my reading and writing pace the last 6 months, and judging by the amount of time I have been able to spend with Y and E.

This week I worked on

• A range of interviews for a project with the Province of North-Holland
• A session with the Province of South-Holland, planning our work for the next months together with the team and the client
• Writing my report for the Serbian open data impact assessment
• Discussed the final steps in the Serbian project with the team and the UNDP
• The design for SSTM18
• Adapting the planning for a project in Malaysia, incorporating the final client feedback
• Planning for a dear friend’s wedding mid-August in Italy
• Following the IndieWeb Summit 2018 in Portland online
