Erik Becker (VVD) believes the European Parliament needs more tech-sav...

8 PM, DAB+ and 747AM: Ralu on Board, Edition 9: Why Eindhoven made its logo "open source"
Should you safeguard the identity of that brand and the logo? Actually, in this first episode of the full interview, Peter Kentie reveals how initially it was highly controversial when he proposed to make the city logo available as open source.
In this episode and in the upcoming two epsiodes, Ralu Nistor-Lustermans hosts an astonishing, or shall we say , creative and open-minded person; someone who was at the heart of creating an impactful brand. He was most busy with the Eindhoven brand the last plus 12 years.

Peter Kentie, Director of Eindhoven365, joins us in Ralu on Board, to share his inspiring and insightful story on how the Eindhoven brand was built in the last 12 years. He also shares the story of building a pro-bono brand for Estonia, as a country/nation, and his contribution to the newly launched the Netherland brand. In fact, a re-branding of the nation from “Holland” to “The Netherland! Inspiring stories, and food for thought on where to start if you want to build a brand and how to make make it impactful.

We left the interview with lots of food for thought, as Peter’s stories are very insightful. As an example, we heard "think of your job like a project". What do you want to achieve from doing it? Also Peter’s views is that for the future work place we shall not focus on developing skills: but on curiosity and on an open mindset.

Ralu on Board, Edition 9: What is your brand? What is the brand of your organisation? Does a city or a country have a brand? And how should you safeguard the identity of that brand and the logo?

Breaking News : Gas pipeline threatens to burst in Eindhoven, area evacuated and A2 closed
NOS / Omroep Brabant report that a gas pipeline near the High Tech Campus is in danger of bursting. As a precaution, an area of ​​200 meters around the pipeline has been cordoned off and several roads have been closed, including the A2 between Eindhoven and Maastricht. An NL-Alert has also been sent.
The gas pipeline is located at the Laarstraat. According to Omroep Brabant, it concerns a 30 centimeter thick high-pressure pipe. A lot of ground under that pipe has subsided, possibly due to a leak. As a result, part of the pipe no longer has any support and bends.
The Safety Region emphasizes that there is currently no gas leak. But because the potential danger would be great, several precautions have been taken.
Highway blocked
Local residents have been asked via NL-Alert to stay indoors and close windows and doors. In addition, according to Omroep Brabant, the A2 is blocked by police and Rijkswaterstaat cars because it is not possible to wait for the usual means to close the highway. The N2 provincial road is closed between the Leenderheide junction and De Hogt.

Uit voorzorg is een gebied van 200 meter rond de leiding afgezet. Mensen worden opgeroepen binnen te blijven.

Crowded cities in Brabant and Limburg. A gentle wink to political affairs. A battle between the unplugged brass band and upbeat skihut dance. Oeteldonk massively chooses for the former, Lampegat for the latter. Still one more day to go.

For the first time in history, Lampegat has a city princess. Eindhoven, called Lampegat during Carnival, is traditionally governed by a price for three days. But this year, we have a princess! During the traditional Federation Ball in the Eindhoven Parktheater, Mina d'n Urste was presented on Saturday evening around midnight.
Rosa van den Nieuwenhof, is a councilor for the PvdA in the Eindhoven city council. She takes over the price-role from Prins Kachelaan.

The desire to break old traditions and to elect a female prince carnival started ten years ago. There was even a debate in the municipal council, calling for the nomination of a princess rather than a prince for the first time.
Source: Studio040. Also Watch the Radio 4 Brainport Vodcast for backgrounds on Carnival.

Voor het eerst zwaait een stadsprinses de scepter over Lampegat. Tijdens het traditionele Federatiebal in het Eindhovense Parktheater werd zaterdagavond rond middernacht Mina d’n Urste gepresenteerd.

The smartest city in the world!? Well, during it may be a culture shock to experience ; "Eindhoven de gekste". Salaai! We interrogate former stadsprins Joep Verheijen. Parag Gupta, of indian ethnicity but born and raised in the U.S., believed that he got into some kind of New Orleans Mardi Grass when he experienced Carnaval. Geisa Barra Cordeiro knows Carnaval in her home country Brazil, but she now lives in Den Bosch which hosts a very traditional Brabant-style Carnaval. On Radio 4 Brainport kicks of a cross-cultural Vodcast that goes on air at Radio 4 Brainport, the expat station at 8 PM this Friday.
