Between the Poles: FOSS4G: Open Source GeoREST Project Announced
GeoREST is a framework for accessing, distributing, and editing raw geospatial data over the web. Because it is based on REST, it supports searching using standard Web search engines such as Google and Bing.

Toward urban systems design « Adam Greenfield’s Speedbird
you said: “Especially given the by-now-clichéd recognition that we’ve decisively become an urban species”
It is indeed very interesting to think about urban systems design given there was a major move toward cities. That said I have the feeling that this move comes with, at least, three issues:
1. access to the “thought” urban environment,
2. the space left where 50% of the population is still living,
3. the space of this growth
There are many areas in the world where the growth of the cities is made by people without access or a limited access to the thought urban environment. Poor people living in slums or just in a space which is not part of the work of urban planner per say. In a recent exhibition about slums I went, it was very interesting to see that the organic structure of the slums was making possible for the individuals to create a rich and meaningful space, driving sometimes to less criminality than more traditional areas of the city. The slum is a forced collective creative space for survival.
The rest of the population, the 50% living in deserted areas are the forgotten of this story. It’s indeed more “fun”, interesting for researchers, sociologists to observe and think about the density in urban space (richness of interactions) more than the low level of activities in the “countryside”. Though there are equal challenges there in terms of design and space organization, access to services, etc.
Finally, is it really cities which are growing? What we call urban space often relates to the city center, but I have the feeling that the growth is happening in the in-between space (suburbs), which is again a complete disaster in terms of design, even more so in rich countries. The private space is becoming a space of non-creativity, dead areas of non activities. Someone, who wants to start a small business in between two buildings on the grass of a random suburb of a rich city, will not last for very long. Complete different dynamic than the slum where unregulated areas give the opportunity of creative solutions for surviving or living.

remoteobjects are real subclassable Python objects on which you can build a rich API library. remoteobjects provides easy coding and transfer between Python objects and a JSON REST API. You can define the resources in a RESTful API as `RemoteObject` classes and their properties. These objects then support using the basic HTTP verbs to request and submit data to the API.
REST: How to Create a Resource That Depends on Three or More Resources of Different Types? - Stack Overflow
A RESTful, hypertext-driven system needs to enable clients to create a new resource that depends on three or more resources of different types. What's the best method to expose this capability?
REST APIs must be hypertext-driven » Untangled
API designers, please note the following rules before calling your creation a REST API:

s3fs-fuse - Project Hosting on Google Code
Amazon's S3 is a nice and cheap way to have a remote backup system. But it is REST based which make it not very easy to use. This project just add the normal file system semantic to it.
Thesis : BNM
Today, the sexuality is a taboo for elderly generations.
During my investigation, I have observed many prejudices about this topic in our society.
However, sexuality is always active over 70 years old.
I have revaled three specifics aims to start my project :
- Stimulate Sexual desire of elders into rest-home
- Educate practical nurses and students
- Sensitize general public about sexuality of elderly people
You can watch the differents ideas I suggested
to resolve these 3 problems in Diploma's part.

PJF's Pages - Journal - Dark Stalking on Facebook
However like dark matter, dark users are observable due to their effects on the rest of the universe. If a dark user comments on a stream entry, I can see that comment. More importantly, I can see their user-ID, and I can generate a URL to a page that will contain their name. I can then watch for their activities elsewhere. Granted, I can't directly search for their activity, but I can observe their effects on my friends. For want of a better term, I've been calling this "dark stalking".
