Open Source Business Models Essays – openfarmtech.org
10/14/2009
I’ve been researching and musing over how open source and business go together like two slices of bread. The contraption tastes good only if the stuff in between meshes well. Over the next few days I want to cover three main themes: What is Free and Open Source Software all about, where did it come from, when were the conditions right , why did it come about, and how is it relevant to open source hardware and the work going on at FeF?

Just stumbled on this new transparency website See.Click.Fix . The site states its reasons for existance as: Transparency – governments and most organizations work best when they conduct their business in plain view. We’ll do our best to do the same. Collaboration – Four brains are better than one. And millions of brains are better than three. Our goal is to give everyone else the tools to accomplish what we never could ourselves. Open source software and wikis are good models for us.

Educational Firefox Extensions – Juice – rsc-ne-scotland.org.uk
10/14/2009
I originally put this post together for RSC NewsFeed , but thought worth reposting here: One of the great features of open source software is the potential for the wider community to start rapidly developing and integrating new features, in many ways utilising the power of the crowd. The web browser Firefox is a great example. Its origins lie in the developers frustrations of developer driven feature creep. Creating an open project has resulted in a staggering number of add-on customisations.
Love Do but not Docky? That’s cool. Want Docky but not Do? We’ve got a project for that, too. – nancib.wordpress.com
10/14/2009
There have been a few open source projects that have made the GNU/Linux community all happy as hell and one of the best is GNOME Do . While not really a member of the GNOME project many of us will admit to considering it one of the best apps ever written, which you can see on their new Preview page , and once you’ve used it for a while you hate having to use an operating system without it. When they brought out version 0.8 they added a new theme, Docky .

Alfresco Enters Records Management Game with DoD Certified Solution – cmswire.com
10/14/2009
One increasingly important aspect of modern document management and enterprise content management software is effective records management . Properly defined, records management is the collection, classification and planned retention or destruction of an organization’s information. Unfortunately, records management tends more often to be two things: not clearly understood and not properly implemented. Faced with increased regulations and the fear of legal action, organizations are working towards doing it better.
Website analytics matter – webdesignability.com
10/14/2009
Do you know who visits your website? How many visitors you get? On which pages they arrive and leave? How long they stay? You should know the answer to all these questions. Your webhost analytics will give you some data. If you have C Panel (very popular webhost interface), webalizer is provided as standard. But, 3rd party analytics programs will give you much more information. Google Analytics is free and it’s an excellent program, but choice is good.  Sourceforge is the world’s largest open source software development websites with more than 230,000 software projects.

Hosting Your Own Website – How to Host a Personal Server – cdunn.net
10/11/2009
This topic has always interested me, ever since I first wanted to make a “real” Website when I was in middle school. I didn’t know much about how it all worked, except that you needed a big computer to be on all the time and hooked up to the ‘net. Well, while that is true in theory, I eventually learned that most people don’t host their own Web sites because it’s often always a very practical use of one’s time. On the other hand, if you’re interested in knowing more about running a server, even if it’s in mini scale, there’s a reason to try self-hosting.

Commonwealth in the networked society [3] Big pharma – smlxtralarge.com

Big banks, big pharma, big problems , writes John Martin, MONEY has thrown society out of kilter. Banks that once appeared to have mountains of cash have collapsed. As a consequence of the global recession, governments now recognise that banking is too important to be left to the bankers. States have taken action, from wresting control of financial institutions to introducing new regulations. I believe the financial meltdown has implications for pharmaceutical research.

Curran on productivity – kiwiblog.co.nz
10/09/2009
A mixture of good and bad in Clare Curran’s blog on productivity: We have a productivity taskforce set up by the National Government and led by the ignominious Don Brash. It’s likely to come up with an argument for economic growth which is about selling our state assets and keeping wages down, or cutting jobs to create more profits. Because that’s what the conservative side of politics believes productivity to be. Gordon Campbell’s piece on this a couple of months ago is worth reading.

Copyright Infringement Isn’t Theft – sob.apotheon.org

In The Mythology of Intellectual Property , I mentioned that “The Product of the Intellect Isn’t Property” and pointed out that, consequently: Even the law doesn’t recognize copyright as “property”. If you violate copyright laws, it is not called “theft”; it is called “copyright infringement”. There’s always someone willing to argue the point, though, no matter how wrong the person might be. I guess not everyone in the world has read my comments on the subject yet.

Some Industries are Slower to Advance

October 7th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in General

Over time many industries change but many stay the same. Unfortunately in some industries while technology changes rapidly and others it does not. Take for instance the healthcare industry many of the services you receive 10 years ago exactly the same services you receive today and the price is not change much at all. This is mainly because you are not the ones paying for you to healthcare insurance company. If you were the one pay for you ask about price and prices would probably change. Take for example Web hosting companies. You pay for Web hosting and you demand better services over time the technology changes make it better services at better price. Use this GoDaddy hosting promo code and you will receive the number one Web hosting company in the world for entire your hosting for less than $60. Two years ago that would’ve been unheard of 10 years ago forget about it. There is change so fast nowadays you can find that type of phenomenal pricing.

The essay helps demonstrate a writing tip in the second paragraph: In fact consumers never really were paying for content, and publishers weren’t really selling it either.

Furthermore, there are many free vector graphics programs that can produce infinitely scalable graphics much like what Adobe Illustrator can do.

As part of a “disruptive technologies” course at the United States Military Academy, [Roy D. Ragsdale] produced a working prototype of a Google Street View-like system called PhotoTrail. Like its corporate-backed inspiration, the system captures georeferenced 360-degree panoramas that can be viewed interactively in a web browser…but at a hardware cost of only around $300. [Ragsdale’s] prototype is based entirely on consumer-grade off-the-shelf components and open source software, all tied together by the yin and yang of DIY: foam core board and a few Python scripts.

Domain Governing Authority

September 27th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in General

many people do not realize that there is one governing authority for domain names. It is called the ICANN. So this one organization creates all the rules that everyone else must follow. Then the rest of those companies that want to sell registration for domain names have to abide by the rules and be approved. The best company I have found this Go Daddy and they have registered over 30 million domains when the second closest companies only registered 10. You can use this GoDaddy promo code to obtain a great price on domain name and get started right away. Sometimes it is best to make sure that the company you’re dealing with as good customer service and is approved by the authority that watches over these types of groups. So make sure that you’re losing a top-notch company that is also approved and in doing what they’re supposed to do.

I spoke briefly about my diversity work with Python Software Foundation. Most of the conferences in this subculture consist predominantly of men, yet those women managing to penetrate the clubhouse tend to hold leadership positions i.e.
Why we use WordPress to power your site - vaultmultimedia.com
09/26/2009
Very few clients ask how we will build a website for them, or what software we use.  The question we do get is “Will I be able to edit the site myself?”  The answer is YES!  We are proud to exclusively use a content management system (CMS) called WordPress to build our websites. Why? It is the #1 blogging platform ( read more about this here ) among the top 100 blogs.  It is also used by quite a few Fortune 500 companies !  There are a lot of OPINIONS flying around out there about the best way to build a site, but instead of jumping in and forming technical arguments that are lost on most people – we just use the #1 platform and rely on the “ Wisdom of Crowds “.

WordPress creator reckons it’d be ‘nice’ for us to go bust – wpmu.org

So, as you may know we’re running a WordPress MU and BuddyPress plugin contest this year – like we did last year – and for which we’re stumping up $1000, just like we are for the corresponding regular WordPress plugin contest in 2009 (as we also did in 2008). All plugins have to be freely available, have to be 100% GPL compatible and – in short – be completely sweet with the WP rules.
Launch Camera to the Edge of Space – johndolphin.net

Hi Oz! I thought you’d like this story. This young man apparently keeps coming up with new ideas, (like rafting down the Charles River on a raft made of bottles). However, this particular idea I thought might interest you. He launched a camera into near-space using a weather balloon, a cell phone, hand warmers and a drink cooler. Pretty whacky idea, huh? All of the parts they used are commonly available. Yeh and Lee bought a Canon camera on eBay and then fastened it inside a Styrofoam cooler.

The main argument in favor is, of course, Google.
