He’s also setting up a new studio in Berlin and did this poster as a self-initiated project. What can I say — it’s one of the best typographic artworks I’ve seen in months.</p> <p>Please also note Tills brand new blog, <a href="http://helloyou.de">HelloYou™</a>, running on Tumblr.

Code, documentation, advocacy, community help, legal help, etc. People who work to make the world better for everyone through open source are the people we hire.</p> <p>[…]</p> <p>We don’t want people who tend to ask “How can I contribute? What should I do?”. We want people who identify for themselves what needs to be done and how they can contribute, and then do it. Our employees want to contribute to make things better, not for a paycheck, not for validation from a manager or even the community. They do it because they think it will make things better.</p> </blockquote> <p>Really, you should read the <a title="http://blog.couch.io/post/382240306/thoughts-on-an-open-source-company" href="http://blog.couch.io/post/382240306/thoughts-on-an-open-source-company">whole text</a>.

a whole, with topics covering HTML, CSS, JavaScript, usability and 
more. The plan is to meet every second Tuesday of the month. There will be talks, 
discussions and the chance to meet up with interesting people. For our first installment we will have a talk by <a title="www.jensnikolaus.co.uk" href="http://www.jensnikolaus.co.uk/">Jens Nikolaus</a>, 
presenting his idea of a “web-designer” and asking what you must bring 
in to call yourself one. <br/> </blockquote> <p>So if you’re a webdesigner/frontend coder from Berlin, be there. Tuesday, February 9, 7pm, at <a title="co-up.de" href="http://co-up.de">co.up coworking space</a>. There is a <a title="http://groups.google.de/group/upfront_ug" href="http://groups.google.de/group/upfront_ug">googlegroup</a>, there is a <a title="http://twitter.com/upfront_ug" href="http://twitter.com/upfront_ug">twitter</a>, and I bet there will be a website soon, too.</p>http://blog.kristinaschneider.com/post/377970699http://blog.kristinaschneider.com/post/377970699Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:59:00 +0100frontendCSSHTMLwebdesignBerlin<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxhekpaQPv1qz7h5bo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Jürgen Bergbauer: <i>untitled (parterre de pieces coupees II)</i>, 2004, from the series <a id="jardin" href="http://www.juergenbergbauer.de/jardin.html">Jardin a la francaise</a>.</p> <p>Also see his works <a id="studien" href="http://www.juergenbergbauer.de/studien.html">Studien nach der Natur</a> and <a id="cittasail" href="http://www.juergenbergbauer.de/cittasail.html">citta ideale / city of sails</a>.
