Encastrable is French collective which does guerrilla interventions at gardening and DIY megastores in the Paris area. They just use the materials available in the stores for their temporary installations and sculptures. They didn’t ask for permission so it was only a matter of time till the employees cleaned up behind them.

GeoREL is now an ISO standard. The most visible efforts of the working group involved a pilot for ORCHESTRA, an effort to outline some possible licenses. The group extended the existing Creative Commons licenses with a few extra licenses to cover non-disclosure, commercial use and emergency use.

Code written in c using openFrameworks, ArToolKit and the ofxPachube library. It's not quite ready/cleaned up for public release but we'll do so soon.

It is very important to report the WTF to the developer who produced the code. Subversions “annotate” or “blame” function provides a means to blame someone for the existence of a specific piece of code. The best way to report this back is through an informative and educational discussion, where everyone could be involved. The factoring should preferably be done by the developer responsible for the code, perhaps with the assistance of the developer who reviewed it. As a result, quality awareness will have improved within the development team.

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.

A while back I wrote a little RDF vocab that extended the 2006 vCard vocab. It introduces a few extra terms which I thought were useful, mostly taken from the vCard 4.0 drafts at the time. e.g. a "lang" property to indicate languages spoken by the person represented. One other thing it has though is a more vCard-like way of representing telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, etc.

Set Something Free

Build a Community

Observe, Edit, Illustrate ..

Stay Cool, Don't Dictate!

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":

In this scenario, our local watercoolr service acts as a PubSub server, accepting requests to create custom channels, maintaining a subscriber list, and pushing out notifications when an update arrives at the channel.

The goal is not that all implementations should pass all tests. V8 set out with that intention and we learned the hard way that sometimes you have to be incompatible with the spec to be compatible with the web. Rather, we want Sputnik to be a tool for identifying differences between implementations.

Learn how to build mapping applications using GeoDjango, the leading open source geographic web framework.

We thought it appropriate to allow Twitter to be more than just an on monitor phenomena. To accomplish this we have combined an Arduino, Ethernet Shield and typewriter. We added a little bit of solder (we’re spoofing keystrokes) and some coding (available here) and what we have is a twitter monitoring machine.

Experiment and iterate. This is the web; you can be nimble. Risk is okay as long as you are always testing. Here’s the Iridesco process for a new feature:

1. Sketch

2. Photoshop

3. Test

4. Static HTML prototype

5. Test again

6. Working prototype

7. Test again

8. Tweak

9. Launch quietly

10. Get Feedback

11. Tweak

12. Get Feedback

13. Tweak

14. Get Feedback

15. Tweak…

Iterate constantly. You need a culture of experimentation.

Track time, log expenses, invoice clients, keep track of account receivables and revenue. Harvest lets you do it all, so you can run your business with style and ease.

Platform21’s Repair Manifesto opposes throwaway culture and celebrates repair as the new recycling.

With our project Platform21 = Repairing we seek to make repairing cool again – with your help. Let the manifesto inspire you, comment on it or add to it. Rediscover the joy of fixing things and share your most ingenious repair to compete in the Most Remarkable Repair contest.

In Platform21 the work of designers and artists inspires to repair your own possessions, which you can do in the different repair stations. And if you know of good repairpersons or master a forgotten technique, we ask you to share it with us.

This project is about sharing knowledge and skills. Together we can start a movement, one that isn’t new per se but has been forgotten. So if you know a way to save a product, let us know by emailing info [at] platform21.com.

The most distinctive feature of GPS MapCard is that it can display a photo and a map on the same screen and shows an address based on its coordinates. Additionally, it displays date & time and a user comment as well on the map.

Complex Order organizes content by way of geography. Winnipeg, São Paulo and Montreal become the frames for considering work by spmb and peers - the book brings together approximately two dozen projects.

Beginning Python Visualization: Crafting Visual Transformation Scripts

User-created online culture isn't "mass culture," exactly; no single blog post gets as much exposure as, say, an episode of American Idol. But it's culture by the masses.

is collaboration. Different styles, cultures, eras, technologies, views, knowledge, sources and any form of creation are relevant. All mixed together with one thing in common - self expression. Zoybar is a new form of expression, starting a new era of hardware music instruments evolution.

Every user can create his own unique instrument by its own voice and needs.
