How to make community members stick at djst’s nest

by karlcow

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

Hunch : Guide practical decision making

by sbrothier & 1 other
Look. Decision-making is difficult, and decisions have to be made constantly. What should I be for Halloween? Do I need a Porsche? Should I dump that loser? Is Phoenix a good place to retire? Whom should I vote for? What toe ring should I buy? It's a cruel world out there. Coin-flipping, I Ching consultation, closing your eyes and jumping, postponing the inevitable, Rock-Paper-Scissors, and asking your sister are all time-honored means of coming to a decision -- and yet we think there's room for one more: Hunch.

MediaShift . Brave Citizen Journalists Provide New Images of Iranian Life | PBS

by srcmax (via)
In general, it would be nice to read and see reports from despotic regimes during times of peace, so that we can have a window into their world before the blood spills. (One good example of seeing into the lives of people in a war zone is the "Gaza Sderot" video show that I profiled on MediaShift.)

The EveryBlock source code

by karlcow & 1 other

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

by Neewok

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

by Neewok (via)

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

by karlcow

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?
