"Content precedes design. Design in the absence of content is not design, it's decoration." - Jeffrey Zeldman
We've all heard that content is king, yet when it comes to designing web experiences we're still stuck with lorem ipsum and placeholder images, as though the real content didn't matter.
We're still designing web experiences from the top down, starting with the desktop view of the homepage, even though they're more likely to be experienced from the bottom up - starting with a content detail page on a mobile device.
Designing from the content out means starting with atomic elements of content, and building a system of components and layouts based on the real structure of content.

WordPress powers 22% of the web (or more - as much as 23.1% when I actually delivered this talk). However, as professionals in the WordPress community, we have to be wary of spending too much time talking to each other, and not enough time engaging with other communities.
What are the people who don't use WordPress doing? Static site generation, lightweight hosted platforms, other open source platforms, proprietary software - there are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of other ways to solve the problems WordPress tries to solve.
If we don't avail ourselves of the conversations happening outside the WordPress fishbowl, we'll miss out on opportunities for true collaboration and innovation.

Why does so much web content SUCK? And how can we make it BETTER? To find out, we need to question our perspective about content.
Content isn't a feature.
It's not "lorem ipsum" text. It's not something you "bolt on" after design is done. It's not even design or code or even plain text. Instead, content is about brands, audiences, data, systems, processes and workflows. In short, great content is all about PEOPLE.
Which means that content is an EXPERIENCE. Once we understand that, we can get to work on making our content BETTER. Better for users, for businesses, for communities... for a Better Web!

Taking Back What and From Whom?: Imagined Communities and Role of WordPress i...John Eckman
“Taking Back The Open Web” is a bold theme, but every word in that sentence requires some significant unpacking if we’re to agree on a path forward. From whom is the open web being taken back? Who took it from us in the first place? What do we mean by open, and do we really mean “web” here?
Dries’s version of the open web (to which the CFP linked) is a vaguely defined point in the recent past where “the web felt like a free space that belong to everyone.” Anil Dash’s version, which he calls “The Web We Lost” posits a time when the web was about “letting lots of people build innovative new opportunities for themselves” which has been replaced by a system which “continues to make a small number of wealthy people even more wealthy” via “narrow-minded, web-hostile products.” The call for papers for this conference, with a focus on publishers, points to “stress” caused by “proprietary formats which enforce limits and restraints.” There’s even an Open Web Foundation (founded in 2004) dedicated to “open, non-proprietary specifications for web technologies,” to which primary subscribers are Facebook, Google, and Microsoft.
Is the conflict between the open web and the (presumably) closed web which opposes it, really about formats? Is it about access and distribution? Is it about a small number of powerful corporate overlords versus inspired, creative small business entrepreneurs?
In this talk I’ll lay out a couple of different ways of thinking about the “open web” we’re after, what each of those visions postulates as the problem, and what solutions emerge from that set of problems. I’ll conclude with some of my own take on how WordPress as itself an “imagined community” (cf. Benedict Anderson’s 1983 book) can and should contribute to shaping the future of the web. (Hint: It’s about democratizing publishing through open source AND community).

Our current electricity system is in trouble.
Under investment in research and development has left us with grid infrastructures which are crumbling.
To fix this we need to start rolling out smart meters, smart grids, super grids and market based demand response - this will more closely align the electricity demand curve, with the supply curve (which is now becoming less controllable with the advent of renewables).
Automated demand response programs are our best hope for successful DR programs. That and intelligent appliances which can adjust their behaviour based on information feeds from utilities about the state of the current (no pun) market.

Mapping an Ecosystem of Open Images #OER16Theo Kuechel
The quantity of open images available online is growing exponentially. An emerging challenge for the OER community is to identify relationships between sources of images.
The ecosystem of open images is complex. Provenance, openness and issues of quality are all factors to be considered.
This presentation showcases examples from three distinct sources, and discuss the challenges and affordances of each respectively.

48. Mona Lisa - Public Domain
From Answers.com:
Q: Is there any Copyright protection on da Vinci's Mona Lisa?
A: No. The copyright laws were not invented at that time.
49. Mona Lisa - Copyrightable
From the The Copyright Litigation Blog:
A basic tenet of copyright law is that once a copyright has expired, it
enters the public domain, for all to use. But when someone adds a
copyrightable contribution to a public domain work, that contribution
is copyrightable.
50. Mona Lisa - Marcel Duchamp's version
Public domain in the US, but protected by French copyright until 2039
(life + 70 years)
53. Fair Use or Copyright Infringement?
Instragrams says, “People in the Instagram community own their photos,
period. On the platform, if someone feels that their copyright has been
violated, they can report it to us and we will take appropriate action. Off the
platform, content owners can enforce their legal rights.”
washingtonpost.com
In its most general sense, a fair use is any copying of copyrighted material
done for a limited and “transformative” purpose, such as to comment upon,
criticize, or parody a copyrighted work. Such uses can be done without
permission from the copyright owner. In other words, fair use is a defense
against a claim of copyright infringement. If your use qualifies as a fair use,
then it would not be considered an illegal infringement. -
