This document discusses Freedom of Information (FOI) laws in Europe. It provides background on FOI legislation in different European countries, with Sweden passing the first FOI law in 1766 and most countries now having some form of FOI laws. It notes that while most countries have similar legal structures for FOI, there is significant variation in levels of exemptions and how open different legal systems are. The document also describes the Farmsubsidy network which used FOI requests to obtain agricultural subsidy data from European governments starting in 2002.

1. The document discusses the history and evolution of books and publishing, from the printing press to modern digital formats and standards.
2. It traces milestones like the development of hypertext in the 1960s, the invention of the World Wide Web in the 1980s/90s, and modern standards for ebooks and web publications.
3. The document argues that while books have long provided structure and organization of content, digital formats now integrate more tightly with the web and allow for new capabilities like text mining and semantic augmentation while still providing standardization and citation mechanisms.
A small presentation I did at the Newthinking Store about Hack De Overheid - an event I co-organized in Amsterdam that involved hacking, scraping and designing government data.
We're thinking of organizing a similar event in Berlin. Let me know what you think about it.
The document discusses opportunities and challenges in the Canadian IT sector. It notes that the IT sector contributes $52 billion to Canada's GDP and unemployment for IT workers is low. While the IT market is expected to grow and add 58,000 new jobs in the next 3-5 years, there may be a shortage of 100,000 skilled workers by 2009 and 1 million by 2016. Hot jobs include IT security, systems infrastructure, and mobile applications. However, factors like outsourcing and the economic recession may impact employment opportunities. By 2015, many knowledge jobs may become location-independent.

The document discusses information design and the role of data in design. It notes that good design is about users, not designers, and is not done by a single designer but by understanding users and improving through learning from their experiences. Design should focus on what users do, not what designers or users want.
This document provides guidance on planning for death and the steps that should be taken after someone passes away.

Open Source in the Cloud Computing EraTim O'Reilly
While open source software plays an important role in many cloud applications, we need to understand where the cloud is taking us or we'll find ourselves in the grip of a new monopoly. Open source needs to get serious about building interoperable open data services - they are the operating system of the internet.
The document discusses how technology is driven by purpose. It suggests that technology is often adopted for the sake of having a cool new tool, without considering its purpose. The document then raises questions about how one knows when purpose has been lost and explores why purpose is important for technologies in areas like creating, connecting, organizing, and sharing. It advocates for contributing value and curating insightful, respectful content online.

Los Angeles R users group - Nov 17 2010 - Part 2rusersla
The document provides an outline for a talk on the future of R. It discusses R's current strengths and criticisms, as well as challenges like handling big data. It proposes 5 potential solutions: 1) Using R with other tools; 2) Packages for large data; 3) Improving R's capabilities; 4) Starting from scratch; 5) Adopting aspects of Clojure. Clojure is presented as having libraries for statistics, machine learning, and querying big data, positioning it as a potential model for R's evolution.
The document discusses how open source and sharing of scientific data is important, especially for issues like climate change. It says that raw data should always be released with full transparency on how it was collected. The processing methods, assumptions, and limitations should be explained clearly, and code should be rewritten from scratch by others to avoid biases. Overall it promotes full transparency and independent verification in scientific research.

On the design of Urban Games - Workshop 7Scenes Waag SocietyMartijn de Waal
This document discusses the concept of urban games and outlines some key aspects of urban culture that could inform their design. It defines urban culture as public space for democratic debate, showing oneself publicly, and experiencing serendipity. It provides several examples of existing projects that illustrate these aspects, such as Climate on the Wall for public debate, CoCollage for self-expression, and GPS Serendipitor for unexpected encounters. The conclusion asks if applications using game elements could strengthen urban culture.
The document discusses Asterisk's Scalable Communication Framework (SCF), which allows for scalable SIP and voicemail services across multiple cores and networks. SCF enables messages to be stored and accessed in memory as well as distributed across cores and networks for improved scalability and redundancy of SIP and voicemail services in Asterisk. More information on SCF can be found on the Asterisk website.
This document appears to be a transcript of a talk given by Haroon Meer on October 17, 2010 about issues in the information security industry. Some of the main points discussed include that the infosec industry hides behind "fig leaves" and only fights battles they can kind of win, rather than taking on important problems. Meer argues that people in infosec think they can't write secure code, but some have shown this is possible. He calls for people to work on problems that really matter and produce more original research, rather than just consuming others' work.
