MindShift MindShift explores the future of learning in all its dimensions. We examine how learning is being impacted by technology, discoveries about how the brain works, poverty and inequities, social and emotional practices, assessments, digital games, design thinking and music, among many other topics. We look at how learning is evolving in the classroom and beyond.We also revisit old ideas that have come full circle in the era of the over scheduled child, such as unschooling, tinkering, playing in the woods, mindfulness, inquiry-based learning and student motivation. We report on shifts in how educators practice their craft as they apply innovative ideas to help students learn, while meeting the rigorous demands of their standards and curriculum. MindShift has a unique audience of educators, tinkerers, policy makers and life-long learners who engage in meaningful dialogue with one another on our sites. Contact the us by email.

Open Source How to Contribute Do you have an idea for improving Zimbra? Have you developed a great mash-up? Zimbra is excited to take contributions that advance the quality and innovation of its collaboration platform. Our principal reason for open sourcing Zimbra Collaboration is our hope to grow a thriving community around this technology. Help scrutinize our architecture and code in order to make Zimbra more reliable and more secure Shape future releases of Zimbra by helping us to prioritize the Zimbra engineering team's projects Provide value-add in the form of general purpose integrations, customizations, or extensions to Zimbra, which can (at the creator's discretion) be posted on the Zimbra community site (irrespective of any overlap with native Zimbra capabilities) Integration may be of particular interest - Zimbra is an extensible collaboration platform that will provide programmatic and/or XML/web service bindings for: "Inbound" applications to submit tasks, schedule meetings, etc.

The application architects and the midnight-oil burning software developers who make open source software (OSS) work believe that the driving principles of open source software success are the FACTS: The creation of consumable parts is a side effect of using the right approach to build software. Raymond Augé, Senior Software Architect at Liferay Freedom Accessibility Collaboration Transparency Sharing Yet even companies that eat, sleep and breathe open source are still failing to really take advantage of all the benefits this model has to offer. #1 Reinventing the wheel It may sound counterintuitive, but it is possible for software developers to be too focused on the customer. #2 Clinging to monolithic design A lack of modularity is a serious problem for any firm that wants to become a better collaborator in the open source community.
