The Kindle Fire: Amazon's Go To Market Strategy (2011)Kikuyu Daniels
"In all of Amazon’s commercials and advertisements for the Kindle Fire, the word 'tablet' is conspicuously absent. The only place one can find the word 'tablet' is embedded in the html code for the title of the Kindle Fire page on Amazon’s web site."
So, is the Amazon Kindle Fire a tablet or an overpriced e-reader?
The purpose of this paper is to use several predominant technology strategy frameworks to determine whether Amazon’s market strategy will allow the Kindle Fire to break into the tablet market or just become a higher priced version of its e-reader predecessors. In other words, what is Amazon’s go to market strategy and can it work?
I wrote this paper in 2011 for a Technology Strategy course in my MBA program. We were limited to ten pages, but I got little over zealous as you can see.

Scholarly publishers are receiving strong signals from funders and governments that they must make publicly-funded research freely available to read and reuse. And beyond open access, open data, reproducibility, improving the article and user engagement are the next steps towards transforming science.
Scholarly knowledge production has not kept pace with innovation on the web. The Collaborative Knowledge Foundation (CKF) is building open source solutions in scholarly knowledge production that foster collaboration, integrity and speed.

The next generation of ebooks: Invent it or witness it!
Digital publishing has come a long way, from plain PDF versions of paperbacks to today’s media rich and interactive versions. Technology innovations and consumer consumption habits are constantly evolving, and success depends almost entirely on keeping with the times. Today’s consumers demand convenience, speed, quality, value and much more. They require ebooks with not just rich media content, but also multiple formats to suit their diverse consumption habits, instant access and interactive community features that stimulate, engage and enrich their reading experience. Publishers can no longer sit back and assume that their e-strategies are complete merely by converting print to PDF. They need to understand customer needs, habits and preferences, and leverage technology to constantly innovate and provide superior quality offerings. Publishing, like every other industry is rapidly evolving, and ‘plain ebooks’ were just the beginning. It is time to focus on the next generation of ebooks and ‘where we need to go next’!

Accessing Higher Ground 2010: George Kerscher Keynote PresentationDAISY Consortium

Scholarship, research and education deserves dedicated, secure infrastructure that is locked open and under community control. The path to get there involves seeding many open source projects and service providers and for the adopting community to be involved and engaged in the design, build, governance and sustainability of its own infrastructure.
Shared open infrastructure would transform research communication to make it faster, more open, and more complete. But the publishing industry continues to rely on closed, proprietary legacy platforms that put their data and business at risk. This is resulting in a lack of innovation at a time when we need research to speed up and be more accessible. Investment in open and shared infrastructure would radically improve scientific and scholarly communication.
To gain true momentum, open science and open scholarship projects and initiatives need to work together, unite behind common goals and form a movement. There are lessons learned from successful movements, both good and bad, that we can bring to bear to make rapid and lasting progress.
Almost 20 years into the open access journey and the destination is broader and harder to reach with open science: open data, open source and networked research outputs. Continuing to work in a disparate fashion will not achieve results. We need open science to operate as a movement.
An emerging ecosystem of open source projects is evolving how research is communication, published and shared, improving the transparency, openness, integrity and discoverability of science and scholarship
To transform research communication we need incremental results, data, and all outputs shared at each stage, with incentives that match. Preprints and open data policies are not enough.
Research communication, publishing and knowledge sharing are hampered by slow, out of date technologies based on print workflows. It's time for a new ecosystem of interoperable open source technologies and tools to transform how our most important knowledge is created, produced and shared. The Collaborative Knowledge Foundation (coko.foundation) is leading an open source revolution.
Publishing today follows antiquated print paradigms. Innovation is hampered by technology and service silos. A new ecosystem of open source projects is emerging that will transform the sector.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
