The document discusses the cultural dimensions of information architecture. It begins by defining culture as learned and shared ways of living. It notes that culture incorporates many complex aspects including religion, language, social norms, kinship and power. The document discusses how information architecture involves discovering ontologies, developing taxonomies, and structuring information in a way that anticipates how users want to interact, similarly to how culture structures relationships and meaning. It advocates applying principles of linguistic anthropology and ethnography, which seek to understand meanings and behaviors from the perspective of the people being studied. The goal is for information architects to learn from users rather than simply collect data, in order to design structures that fit within users' cultural frameworks.
Cultural Identity in the Filipino ContextAndrea Amador
This is the PowerPoint I made to accompany my Oral Presenation of my Summative Paper for my Architectural Space Dynamics class under Ar. Gerard Lico for the Academic Year 2011-2012.
A discussion of Space and Place-Making as determined by our location that will lead to the Filipino context of Identity and passing on the correct traditions and patterns through artifacts (in my case Architectural space)
A presentation I made for my final paper in my ID 241 class Interior Design and Philippine Society and Culture under Dr. Adelaida Mayo of CTID.
My paper is on Colonial Mentality in Filipino Spaces which aims to put a more positive light on to a sensitive aspect of Filipino Society and Space.
I am hoping that the discussion would help in the decolonization process to pave the way towards true Filipino innovation.

Сколько раз мы собираем ПО каждый день? Сколько раз за день код компилируется, тестируется и превращается в артефакты? Какие разнообразные сценарии возможны в казалось бы простой цепочке compile-test-assemble? Билд-системы из узкоспециализованных утилит превратились в мощный инструмент сборки, валидации, дистрибуции и автоматизации наших программных продуктов.
Это будет тематический доклад о том как настроить инструмент сборки для себя, а не против себя. Мы рассмотрим основные принципы работы Gradle DSL и возможности его расширения. Как и на чём их писать, как тестировать и как делиться результатами своего труда со своими коллегами.
Вместе с вами мы напишем автоматизированный сценарий сборки для проекта и покажем как ловко можно вставлять костыли всю силу и мощь Gradle 2.x.
Docker on a local machine and Docker in production — are two big differences. It's easy to play with technology but it's hard to do something real for many customers.
Half a year ago inside of AlfaLab (division of Alfa-Bank) we've started building architecture with microservices approach for few our pilot projects. We've almost completely changed a stack of the used technologies on a frontend and significantly changed it on a middle layer. For package and distribution we have choosen Docker. Two months ago we've deployed project to production and have opened service for clients.
In the report the following topics will be covered:
- reasons of a choice Docker;
- why Docker without other tools is not enough for a production;
- what stack of technologies we used in our solution;
- what advantages we've got;
- what problems have been faced and how we've solved them.
Everyone has heard about microservices. Someone tries to implement them in practice. And only the bravests of us have already used them in production environment. But then why so many people hype around microservices, if the idea is not quite new? What are microservices? What is the difference between it and good old SOA approach? How can developers create modern enterprise applications in Java easily with the help of this approach?
Our guests should try to answer these questions and share their own experience related to live coding of imaginary startup 'Hippos'. The following topics will be covered:
What are microservices? Where is the theory, bro?
What kind of technologies should we choose? What have we chosen and why?
Why RPC is still competetive in REST-domination era?
How to pack and distribute microservices? How can SpringBoot and Docker help us to solve our problems?
Why is service discovery considered as one of the crucial components? How to cook Spring Cloud and what problems you may face in real life?
Security of microservices, API gateway and other.
Speakers will also cover other topics related to distributed system development.
Сейчас только ленивый не говорит про DevOps, краеугольным камнем которого является организация потока непрерывной доставки ценности клиенту. Continuous Delivery перестаёт быть опцией и становится обязательным требованием.
В докладе будут рассмотрены:
- общие подходы к организации Continuous Delivery на базе Jenkins-а в совсем не тепличных условиях
- практики и подходы, которые позволяют быстро настраивать и собирать десятки микросервисов
- подводные камни, с которыми пришлось столкнуться, и способы борьбы с ними
Микросервисы, кто-то только слышал о них, кто-то пытался делать, кто-то уже использует в продакшене. Идеи, заложенные в концепцию микросервисов, не новы и основные постулаты уже звучали раньше. Так почему же в последнее время мы всё чаще слышим о микросервисах? Что такое микросервисы для нас и чем они отличаются от старого доброго подхода SOA? Как теперь разрабатывать enterprise-приложения с микросервисным подходом на нашем любимом языке программирования Java?
На эти и некоторые другие вопросы постараемся ответить во время встречи. Наши гости, Кирилл Толкачёв и Александр Тарасов, в режиме live coding попытаются создать небольшой стартап, попутно использовав новомодные подходы и инструменты.
На пути к релизу стартапа будут затронуты основные проблемы выбранных подходов в целом и технологий в частности:
Микросервис — что это, для чего и как с этим дальше жить. Где теория брат? ;)
На чём писать API: REST или RPC, и почему Thrift имеет право на жизнь в эпоху тотального распространения JSON-а. Упрощай и превозмогай с помощью Spring boot starter;
Какой стек выбрать для разработки, что выбрали мы и почему. Небольшое сравнение легковесных и не очень java фреймворков а так же сопутствующих инструментов;
Способы упаковки, дистрибуции и разворачивания микросервисов, как Spring Boot и Docker помогают нам в решении этих непростых для разработчика проблемах;
Как микросервисам найти друг друга, как готовить Spring Cloud и как обойти существующие проблемы и ограничения. Не доверяйте технологиям, доверяйте только себе;
API Gateway. Предохраняй и сохраняй свои микросервисы.
Так же речь пойдет о других распространенных проблемах распределенных систем и их решениях.

Culture and Marketing make us human. Without culture, can there be any such thing as marketing? Without marketing, does culture survive? In the widest sense, we are all producers, consumers, and marketers of culture. At the time of writing this article, the cherry blossom blooming outside of my window gave me inspiration. Like culture, cherry blossom epitomizes both transience and symbolic transcendence, governed by environmental factors - with the petals symbolizing the connected and overlapping levels at which culture exists. Furthermore, in Asian culture, the cherry blossom marries power (most notably by the samurai), and femininity. My message and allegory is simple: C.H.E.R.R.Y. – Culture Has Environmental Reliance Relevance & Yield. Culture will blossom in the right conditions - it is hardy, whilst also being delicate. However, it begins to have value beyond its functionality and the potential to spread and grow when it is owned, cultivated and used.

We should be software: Recoding cultural action through networked formations ...maudelfin
Abstract
In recent years, Latin America has witnessed the appearance of various “cultural networks” composed of arts and culture organizations, directly influenced by digital media and networked technologies. These networks have impacted policy spaces while forming alternative circuits for cultural production, consumption and valuation, within their countries and across national boundaries. They can be understood as a reaction to vertical cultural policy-making (generally focused on the promotion of fine arts and archaeological heritage) and widespread institutional opacity and government centralization in the region. Cultural networks advance a plurality of socio-political agendas and broaden the spectrum of collective aspirations surrounding culture and its relationship to social development.
This paper argues that the power of cultural networks relies on a distinct exploitation of the affordances of digital media to generate new and augmented collective narratives, champion a non-hierarchical and distributed ethos, and introduce new modes for cultural labor. It also proposes that they represent an emerging politics of relationality among arts and cultural organizations that takes advantage of a widening gap between mainstream institutional and media cultures and new political cultures characterized by rapid appropriation of distributed technologies and open source ethics. Three case studies — Fora do Eixo, Plataforma Puente and Cultura de Red — are used to describe how these networks function as domains for social action, vehicles for the construction of “futurity” (Appadurai, 2004) and meaning structures that engineer new social relations.
Finally, this paper argues that cultural networks constitute a unique opportunity to study “the becoming topological of culture” as defined by Lury, Parisi and Terranova (2012); the idea that culture is increasingly organized in terms of its capacities for change. For these networks, culture appears as a field of connectedness, of ordering by means of continuity and not as a structure based on essential properties, such as archetypes, values or norms, or regional location (5). Thus, these networks challenge a foundational aspect of contemporary cultural policies: The idea of “national space” as main guarantor and source for political identity, order and control.

It explores the many ways in which practices
of language use shape patterns of

identity and group membership, organize
large-scale cultural beliefs and ideologies, and,
in conjunction with other semiotic practices,
equip people with common cultural
representations of their natural and social
