Conference Organizing Distribution | groups.drupal.org

2008-07-21T11:40:04-07:00

In April, NASA CoLab released a Request For Proposal (RFP) for a Partnership Software which very explicitly requested the software to be built on an open source CMS, used for one particular use case, then packaged up and released as an installable application. We (Chapter Three LLC) recently won the contract with a Drupal solution, and our goal is to build an out-of-the-box "Drupal Product" that organizers can use to facilitate participatory conferences (ala Drupalcon, BarCamp etc.). The distro will support conference invitation, registration, session proposals + voting, note-taking, and forming post-conference working groups.

Twitter has become so popular, so fast, that keeping up with its fast-growing user base is a real issue. So many people now use Twitter to update friends that the system often crashes.

"Of course that’s also the goal of groups like Chris Messina’s DiSo project and in this case Autonomo.us is a bit late to the game. Rather than spending their time on grandiose statements, the DiSo Project and others like are already distributing code that just works."

Save the Fail Whales Now

2008-07-18T12:17:08-07:00

The fail whale may be going the way of the Dodo if you don’t retweat the message below. The fancy pants engineers over at Twitter are “revamping their system to scale”. This cynical move toward business efficiency puts the fail whale species at risk of mass extinction. When Twitter was asked to comment on this, they had nothing to say for themselves. Nothing!

Mashing Twitter and Identi.ca: Following the conversation

2008-07-10T23:40:26-07:00

"Like many, I’ve found the frequent appearance of the Fail Whale discouraging, if not downright frustrating. Not only has Twitter expanded my horizons, it has become an essential tool. Other services just don’t offer the same means to an end."

I’d like to announce the general availability of a project that I’ve been working on in my spare time for the last few months: whoisi.com. If I had to describe it in one sentence I would describe it as a site that lets you easily keep track of what your friends are doing on the Internet via RSS feeds - but with some twists.

Technology Review: Who Owns Your Friends?

2008-07-06T22:06:01-07:00

"The incident brought to a head a debate that had been raging for months behind the scenes at social-networking sites: who controls the data users post on their profiles? Advocates of so-called data portability, including Scoble and Smarr, say people should be able to transfer information easily in and out of any Web services they use. Facebook, on the other hand, says it needs to safeguard the information it stores so that it isn't misused, and that means keeping tight control over users' information. At stake is not simply the ease and security with which people move between social-networking sites but control of the currency that gives those sites their value: personal information."

Twitter: User Co-Creating or User Co-Opting? - O'Reilly Radar

2008-07-04T17:00:08-07:00

"Whatever is actually going on at Twitter, allowing your user community to engage in a conversation regarding your product development can be incredibly valuable, and ignoring their behavior can lead you to miss a key new feature. However, if you embrace every use of your service, and avoid every complaint about a feature you don’t support, eventually the conversation will become dysfunctional, and could prove disastrous, undermining your credibility and service."
