The EveryBlock source code
In an effort to make the code useful to as many people as possible, we've split it into several packages:
* The main package (probably the thing you're looking for) is the publishing system, known as ebpub.
* Second, the packages ebdata and ebgeo contain Python modules for processing data and making maps.
* Third, the packages ebinternal and everyblock round out the code that powers EveryBlock.com. They're internal tools and are likely not of general use, but we're including them to be complete.
* Finally, ebblog and ebwiki are our blog and wiki software, respectively. Because, dammit, the world needs another Django-powered blogging tool.

Paul Downey :: ETSI 2.0
So, in a nutshell, here is a tick-list for an architecture for participation:
* Open Source Implementations
* Test Suites
* Continuous Integration
* Wiki Driven Documentation
* Small, Lightweight Specifications
* Free and Open Licensing
I've published a manifesto for this approach in the form of a gnomic sampler on http://standeace.com, a contraction of "Standards" and "Peace":

Les enjeux de la fabrication personnelle | InternetActu.net
Structurée autour du Do it yourself (Faites le vous-mêmes !) et du Green design (cette conception écologique qui se veut soutenable dans sa nature même), la principale question posée au cours de Lift France 2009 fut de savoir jusqu’où les concepts couramment utilisés dans le monde du web (participation, open source, réplication infinie des informations, etc.) pouvaient quitter les écrans d’ordinateurs pour envahir le monde physique.

Aligning Ontologies with Falcon - Home
Falcon-AO, a prominent component of Falcon, is an automatic ontology matching system that helps actualize interoperability between (Semantic) Web applications that use different but related ontologies. Recently, it has become a very practical and popular choice for matching Web ontologies expressed by RDF(S) and OWL. Falcon-AO is implemented in Java, and presently, it is an open source project under the Apache 2.0 license.

Ubiquitous Angels; ambient sensor networks to crowd source crisis response and community awareness
Criticism • Side effects often dominate over intended consequences of any project or endeavor. • Abstract views may make us callous or may badly reflect ground truth. • Ignorance is bliss. The world is filled with sob stories. Best to not dwell? • Such services may be used solely for the most banal aspirations and goals. • Struggle may be important - making things too easy may harm fitness and lower diversity of skills and abilities over long term. • What about poor people who are outside of any implied technological social network? • Why not just help people around you? • Any technology should go hand in hand with day to day personal practice that is unmediated? • Feedback loops may be created that accelerate and disrupt society. • Virtual and visual only for curators; not tactile; uses only one sense. A concern?
