How I met Boris Mann
Reading about Rain City and Bryght and the whole Drupal thing made me think web work was somehow cool again. I met Boris at a recent Vancouver Drupalers meeting, he was a helpful guru.

The last time I saw Boris Mann
Was at Brussels BarCamp in Sept. 2006. We did a session together on how to make social software even more social, by using people (not information) as entrypoint for aggregation, navigation and information slicing.

Why I like Boris Mann
Because few people have such trouble swallowing their excitment as they so quickly process and map your ideas to theirs – the joy of this discourse and creative act is not to be understimated – but damn he always posing for pictures!
The last time I saw Boris Mann
I was scarfing down a second or third helping of chocolate cake drenched in custard at the EuroOSCON conference in Brussels when I heard a strangely familiar voice at the Jabber table next to me. I was about to check out his name tag to confirm my suspicions when Boris identified me first.
Strangely I think I’ve seen Boris more often in Europe than in Seattle and yet somehow never in his native Vancouver. Still, this is enough to elevate him into the exclusive club of people I’ve known in three three countries and across two continents.
How I met Boris Mann
I stumbled across Boris in the new Bryght space in Vancouver. It was the only space that was big and cool enough and those guys had snatched it up, curses! I recognized him from his blog and had wanted to speak with him about the Innovation Commons and Business Alliance for Local Living Economics, we arranged to meet later. He blew me away with his interests and immediately started putting me in touch with some good people. A dynamic and interesting individual!
How I met Boris Mann
Over a Vancouver geek dinner that I organized and was late for, Boris started talking about profiles and locations and …. (and amazingly enough I don’t think we spoke about Drupal that night!)
And the rest is history :-)!
My favorite memory of Boris Mann
What can I say… Harvest 05, numerous Family Christmas’s, a few intense games of DI with KT Paul, many meat platters from Memphis Blues, and last but not least, some very very rad Ralph the Elf stories.
