I was definitely having a bad day yesterday.
I received notification of a new joomla event, JoomlaCamp, 
taking place in Athens this Sunday, March 15th, and somehow I thought it was for a very short camping holiday.
Reading further I saw that it was taking place at the "Microsoft Innovation Center" so perhaps it was some sort of anti-closed source protest event.
How wrong I was!!
JoomlaCamp part of MediaCamp Athens, is a non-conference event based on the principles of BarCamp. This is a great opportunity for all Greek Joomla users to meet expert Joomla developers and other attendees.
