01.Tools:Version Control System(Subversion)

Internet and the Web enabled mass-collaborationA version (or revision) control system is a system that tracksincremental versions (or revisions) of fles and directories over time. Itallows you to explore the changes which resulted in each of thoseversions and facilitates the arbitrary recall of the same. As the fles inthe repository are changed, the repository remembers each version ofthose fles.* Backup and Restore* Synchronization* Short-term undo + Long-term undo* Track Changes* Track Ownership* Sandboxing* Branching and mergingSource: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.6/svn.basic.version-control-basics.html

Server/client-based Version Control System Server Client Client Client ClientSource: http://www.kalekold.net/index.php?post=13

Distributed Version Control System: GitSource: http://git-scm.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28software%29

Subversion: an open source Version Control SystemSubversion manages fles and directories, and the changesmade to them, over time. This allows you to recover olderversions of your data or examine the history of how yourdata changed. In this regard, many people think of a versioncontrol system as a sort of “time machine”.Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Subversionhttp://subversion.apache.org/http://subversion.tigris.org/http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.6/svn.intro.whatis.html

Version Control System: the vocabulary (01)* Change A change (or dif) represents a specifc modifcation to a document underversion control.* Checkout A check-out (or co) is the act of creating a local working copy from therepository. A user may specify a specifc revision or obtain the latest. Alsorefers to the same fles.* Commit A commit (checkin, ci) is the action of writing or merging the changes madein the working copy back to the repository. Also refers to the same fles.* HeadThe most recent commit.Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control

Version Control System: the vocabulary (02)* ConflictA confict occurs when diferent parties make changes to the same document.A user must resolve the confict by combining the changes, or by selectingone change.* Merge A merge or integration is an operation in which two sets of changes areapplied to a fle or set of fles.* UpdateAn update (or sync) merges changes made in the repository (by other people,for example) into the local working copy.* Working copyThe working copy is the local copy of fles from a repository, at a specifc timeor revision. Conceptually, it is a sandbox.Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control

Versioning model: the problemHow will the system allow users to share information, butprevent them from accidentally overwriting?Source:http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.6/svn.basic.version-control-basics.html

Versioning model: the lock-modify-unlock solutionIn this model, the repository allows only one person tochange a fle at a time, by locking it.Source:http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.6/svn.basic.version-control-basics.html

Versioning model: the copy-modify-merge solution (01)In this model, each users client contacts the projectrepository and creates a personal working copy. The privatecopies are merged together into a new version.Source:http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.6/svn.basic.version-control-basics.html

A spool for the RepRap Mendel: an improvement (02) “I have changed the design to put the bearings in the spool itself. This way you can be more fexible in what you use to supportSource: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3962 the axle. ” Brokentoaster

A spool for the RepRap Mendel: an improvement (03) “I liked BrokenToasters idea of a bearing-driven flament spool holder, but that version was too big to ft on a Makerbot print bed. [...] It now ftsSource: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4337 on a Makerbot print bed!!!” Randyy

A spool for the RepRap Mendel: an improvement (04) “This takes advantage of the larger print area on RepRaps by printing the arm as one piece, avoiding the need for a dovetail joint in the middle of theSource: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:11250 arm, thus also saving material.” Fil

06. System MapThe System Map is very useful to visualize and design interactions as fowsbetween people. Its elements are:* material fows* information fows* fnancial fows+ roles+ border of the systemSource: http://www.mepss.nl/index.php?p=tool&l4=W21

07. Motivation MatrixThe Motivation Matrix is useful for analysing, designing, visualizinginteractions as motivations between the roles of the Open Design activity.Source: http://www.servicedesigntools.org/tools/20 http://servicedesign.wikispaces.com/Motivation+Matrix

08. BlueprintService Blueprints are used in torder to design and visualize processes andspecifcations of the Activity when it happens inside an organization(Enterprise, Public Administration, Party ...) or there is a place where it meetspeople from outside.Source: http://www.face.ubiobio.cl/webfle/media/42/version%20-8-1/mariaperez.pdfhttp://www.servicedesigntools.org/tools/35

09. StoryboardStoryboards are graphic organizers such as a series of illustrations or imagesdisplayed in sequence for the purpose of pre-visualizing a motion picture,animation. They enable analysing, designing, visualizing interactionsthrough time as a story.Source: http://www.servicedesigntools.org/tools/13http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storyboard http://www.fickr.com/photos/ninga/473316247/

10. Lets design the Reputation LevelsExplicit and tacit knowledge is what shapes the Collaborative Activity andthe Community: an open and p2p horizontal structure, as the result of theinteractions, reputation and their history:information --> knowledge --> action --> reputation --> organizationSource: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legitimate_peripheral_participation The structure / weight of interactions
