How to make community members stick at djst’s nest
an interesting conclusion about how to turn new and casual contributors into long-time community members: the key is to distribute ownership.
To wrap up, there were several things that motivated me to stay active in the Mozilla community: * A belief in the mission of the project — to create a web browser that supports and promotes the use of open standards * An interest in the technology — initially with the Gecko logo as my hook * The feeling of belonging in a community of people with similar interests * The desire to give something back to a project that gave (and still gives) me the best browser in the world for free * The experiences gained by managing a website — HTML, CSS, server configurations, and perhaps most importantly, the English language * The recognition and respect from Mozilla project members for my contributions * The pride of being responsible for an important piece of the project

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.

Blogo Numericus -- Google Index as world heritage
Because it is our index. At least partly, because the content is ours. And I won’t deny that it is partly Google Inc. property too, as the manufacturer and operator of the index. But it’s partly ours as well, and that is a very important point to make.
Therefore, may be we can begin to consider the Google index as a common good shared between Google and all the mankind.

fabpot's twittee at master - GitHub
Finding a simple example to demonstrate a Dependency Injection Container is not an easy task. Instead of showing a classic "Hello World!" example, which would have been too simple to demonstrate the power of Twittee, I have converted the example I used to introduce the Symfony 2 Dependency Injection Container on my blog. The following example shows how to create a Zend_Mail object that sends its emails using a Gmail account

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?
