PortalU - Das behördliche Umweltportal Deutschland Frameworks for Citizen Responsiveness: Towards a Read/Write Urbanism Map based illustration of 311 street sign service calls : US census tracts connected by city roadways. Illustration: Jane Kelly {*style:<b>Seeing the City as Software </b>*}In the past, I’ve often enough described cities as being “ “: about the necessity of negotiating various waits, complaints and fears. Must we accept this, though? Is there anything that can be done about it? 311 provides an online point of entry, but its primary form of engagement is a phone call between a citizen with a question and an operator able to point her towards the proper resource or department. How might we close the loop? We can begin to treat urban environments as system resources, rather than a mute collection of disarticulated buildings, vehicles, sewers and sidewalks. Technology entrepreneur has suggested stealing a page from the practice of software development as a way of addressing shared problem spaces more generally. (a) . (b) .

Accueil / MesCoursesPourLaPlanète.com Building a Scorecard for Open Source [on Simon Phipps, SunMink] In my previous posts, I've drawn an analogy between open source software and organic food, hinting that in both cases the rush to create a working brand lost some of the essence of the vision. I've suggested that having businesses identify "open source" purely on the basis of one "input" - using an OSI-approved license - is no longer adequate, because the success of the open source approach has led so many different companies to want to exploit the name. The need is clear; so many companies want to describe themselves as "open source businesses" that debates about "open-core" and "open source business models" were dominant at Open World Forum. To address this, I'm proposing the Open Source Initiative go beyond the Open Source Definition and the Free Software Definition to devise some sort of a Software Freedom Definition which articulates a holistic vision of software freedom against which businesses can be benchmarked. What would be included in the two? Is the license OSI-approved?
Internet local: casos de usos locales de tecnología y medios sociales "no locales" Los usos locales de Internet y los medios sociales llevan mucho tiempo interesándome. Paradójicamente, los proyectos específicamente diseñados para usos locales no han tenido hasta el momento un excesivo desarrollo más allá de la experimentación, los proyectos a pequeña escala o las intervenciones artísticas. Al tiempo se ha desarrollado una “capa” de terminología y teoría (locative media, computación ubícua, readwirte urbanism, …) sobre los posibles futuros, que en ocasiones hacen complejo adentrarse en este ámbito. Pero al tiempo, los usos locales de Internet llevan ya mucho tiempo siendo funcionales y efectivos y, en la mayor parte de los casos, han utilizadado tecnologías que no han sido diseñadas específicamente para los usos locales. Por esta razón en ADN.es | Ciudades enredadas he compilado una serie de ejemplos de lo que he denominado “Internet local”, o usos locales de Internet. 1.

FAIR. THE WORLD’S FIRST LINE OF FAIR TRADE CERTIFIED™ PREMIUM SPIRITS eGovernment for Development - Success and Failure in eGovernment Projects This section is dedicated to the analysis of success and failure in the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in governmental activities. It addresses a series of issues of potential interest to e-government practitioners and suggests solutions to these issues. The solutions were developed through a mix of research at IDPM, research in local partner institutions, and discussions on the egov4dev email list. Success and Failure in eGovernment Projects is the first topic in a series of topics covered by the eGovernment for Development Information Exchange. Why Worry About eGovernment Failure? eGovernment projects can have three main outcomes: total failure; partial failure; and success. This high rate of failure is a major problem. Failure could be used as the basis for learning and knowledge-generation; helping to improve later projects.

Truthsquad Shows Potential of Crowdsourced Fact-Checking NewsTrust, a non-profit startup aimed at improving the credibility of the media, says that its week-long “Truthsquad” experiment — in which it tried to crowdsource the fact-checking of public statements made by politicians, special-interest groups and others — was successful enough that it plans to continue with the project, if it can find additional funding. The pilot, which saw input from individual users that was then checked by a panel of guest judges, was a joint venture with FactCheck.org the Poynter Institute and was funded in part by the Omidyar Network and the MacArthur Foundation. Fabrice Florin, a former executive at Macromedia who started NewsTrust in 2005, said that the response to Truthsquad — which lasted from August 2 to August 8 — was even better than the company had anticipated, based on other short-term projects launched by the startup.
