Month: November 2014

Under the hood, most of the things we deal with on a daily basis as programmers leave a trace of the fusion of art, creativity, and logic. A trace that belongs to programmers. How good it is that one day of the year is dedicated to programmers so that their value and work can be recognized more than ever before. The 256th day of the year, which is the last power of 2 in the current calendar, is a very valuable day for programmers. In this regard, the Tabriz Open Source Sessions group has launched a campaign to register this day on the national calendar. If you are interested in participating and signing up, please visit this website and enter your details.

Update: The first celebration of the Iranian Programmer’s Day will be held simultaneously in Tabriz (Paradise Cafe) and Sari (Nava Cafe) at 5 pm on November 30, 2014 (Azar 10, 1393). Attendance is free for all interested parties and there will be a special discount on the cafe menu.

Update: Shargh newspaper has supported the registration of this day. We appreciate their support.

Monthly Creative Mornings sessions will be held in Iran simultaneously with 100 cities around the world. With the help of the executive team of Gap Graphic, Tabriz is the first city in Iran and the region to successfully obtain representation and host this event. In 2008, Tina Roth Eisenberg (swissmiss) launched the CreativeMornings sessions with the dream of creating a continuous and accessible event for the creative community in New York. The overall idea was simple: breakfast and a short talk on a Friday of each month. All sessions are free and open to the public, and the costs are covered by financial supporters. Today, participants gather every month in over 100 cities around the world and enjoy fresh tea and a brief breakfast with likable people. Organizers of these branches in different cities do not organize these sessions just for the enjoyment of creative and talented individuals, but they aim to create an interactive and open space for like-minded people to connect. Renowned speakers at CreativeMornings include Michael Bierut, Erik Spiekermann, Debbie Millman, Aaron Draplin, Mike Monteiro, Simon Sinek, Maria Popova, and Nick Campbell.

The trial session of this event was held on August 6th, 2014, in collaboration with the cultural and artistic organization of Tabriz municipality at the Mofakhar Azarbayjan Hall, and with a speech by Mr. Karim Zeinati. From now on, these sessions will be held by the executive team of Gap Graphic in Tabriz, one of the first cities to host them.

To participate in this free event, you can visit Tabriz city’s specific page on the CreativeMornings website after registering on the website. If you are interested, you can register for the event defined for the month.
