In the LAMP area are sitting projects and companies like MySQL, eGroupware, ThinkPHP, PEAR and lots more. Basically - lots of arch-enemies! Can you think of PHProjekt and eGroupware people living next to one another for four days? ;)

Well, today I experienced what a nice atmosphere there is. We were standing in front of the Mayflower/ThinkPHP booth and chatting, when johann__ said: "That's one of the eGroupware guys. Hey, Lars, come over, amette wants to see what you freaks are like!" And then the talk started. Some friendly picking on the others software, some namecalling and some exchange of knowledge. That was real Open Source spirit live! It was very nice to just stand there and listen - I haven't laughed that much during the whole LinuxTag. A guy, I think Hermann was the name, who does so many FOSS projects, that he himself always forgets half of them, joined in and participated in making evil jokes! Those guys have some weird humour I really dig! :)

johann__ told me that it has been like this all the days: "Blog about it! That's so cool here in LAMP Area!"
