The document discusses how new technologies have allowed people to pool their free time and cognitive surplus to pursue shared interests and activities. It notes that technology is shaped by how users adopt and apply it, not just designers. Additionally, when given opportunities to participate through accessible tools, people will create, share ideas, help others, stand up for causes, and find community. The document advocates that people are motivated by intrinsic drives rather than money alone and will engage and contribute when invited to through open platforms.

The document discusses how planned obsolescence and constant renewal of consumer desires leads people to buy things they do not need. It notes that some believe people are essentially "happiness machines" and that satisfying constant desires through consumption can make populations happier, more docile, and easier to control. However, the document also argues that this constant consumption can enslave people and that design should empower users through customization, DIY culture, and providing tools and knowledge for people to design their own products and solutions.

Do you obsess when writing emails to "business people" or feel awkward and not know how to converse with "finance people"? Dread networking events? Understanding the biases that our audience have and being empathetic to their goals will smooth any interaction. Open source projects present unique business challenges since so many of our staffing resources are volunteer. Easy interactions and good business happen when common interests are highlighted and shared goals are defined. Let's cut through posturing and adversarial language and practice hacking people to align interests and improve everyone's comfort in business situations. The fantastic side effect of this is that your project and business become more inclusive and stronger through diversity of background, skills and perspectives.
Copyright: A Dirty Word
This document discusses problems with current copyright laws. It argues that copyright has become too restrictive and prevents criticism of culture as people need permission to use existing works. This stifles innovation and expression. However, in Brazil copyright laws are less strict and culture is able to build upon older works. While plagiarism should still be avoided because it prevents original thought, society should not be constrained by copyright to the point where they cannot think creatively at all. A balance is needed between preventing plagiarism and allowing freedom of expression.

This document discusses the concepts of planned obsolescence, consumerism, and how design can either enslave or liberate people. It notes that planned obsolescence is used to train people to constantly want new items before the old ones are used up. While some argue that design promotes competition and creativity, others believe it can become the norm and exclude those who cannot afford new technologies. However, the document ends by stating that old designs can fuel new ideas and that good design can promote education and empower people.

This document discusses how digital technologies are changing concepts of materiality, identity, and cognition. It explores how the immaterial can be made material through design, production and cultural innovation processes. New technologies are blurring the boundaries between mind and world, and between reality and play. Our identities are shaped through "identity work and play" using digital tools and virtual environments. The ubiquity of technologies and their integration into many aspects of life are transforming human experience and relationships in complex ways.

Social media refers to using web and mobile technologies to facilitate interactive dialogue and sharing of user-created content. There are various forms of social media including forums, blogs, wikis, social networks, videos, and pictures. Social media consists of 5 elements - attention, attraction, affinity, audience, and action. The main advantages are relationships, connectivity, creativity, sharing, and transparency, while the main disadvantages include information overload, difficulty finding quality content, and inconsistent delivery. Basic marketing principles like understanding customer needs and delivering value still apply to social media, which can be used to reach new audiences, engage existing ones, and build strong community marketing strategies centered around user communication.

It explores themes of love and dysfunction, emptiness and madness, and dual standards of acceptable behavior. The film utilized a handheld camera style with natural lighting and neutral colors. Characters were portrayed in a casual and unkempt manner, and the director made use of cropping and objects in the foreground.

Creativity
The document discusses the nature of creativity and how creative ideas emerge. It explores both small-scale "p-creativity" involving new ideas for an individual, as well as large-scale "h-creativity" that produces historically novel inventions. The text examines how people are influenced by existing concepts and categories when generating novel ideas. It also looks at social and environmental factors that can influence creativity, such as valuing it within a community, and how brainstorming groups do not necessarily lead to more creative outcomes than individuals working alone.
Freesouls
The document discusses Joi Ito's "Freesouls" project, which involved taking photos of people and making them freely available under a Creative Commons license, allowing anyone to use the photos as long as Ito received attribution. The project sought to challenge copyright laws and the idea that images must be commodified. The rest of the document consists of quotes from various individuals discussing their perspectives on what constitutes a "freesoul" - someone who values open sharing and freedom.
Inventing with hypotheses (3)
The document discusses Neil Postman's concept of "technopoly" in which technology dominates culture and becomes the ultimate social value. It then provides information about Second Life, an online virtual world with over 20 million users who interact through avatars. At any given time around 40,000 users are on Second Life participating in activities like attending art galleries, live music, and theater. Second Life has its own economy and currency. Because technology tends to diminish human cultural values according to Postman, the author hypothesizes that fully technologized communities like those in Second Life will be lacking in cultural values.

It provides examples of creative thinking exercises and encourages sharing creativity with others.
Being creative in a digital world
This document discusses ways to be creative in a digital world. It introduces tools and techniques for generating new ideas, including capturing ideas as they come, asking questions of others, collaborating on content, and making decisions. Specific online tools are suggested for being creative in new ways, such as LinkedIn Maps. The workshop challenges participants to make "mischief" by applying their creativity to a real problem or project using an unfamiliar online tool. Neuroplasticity and herding ideas like fish are discussed as metaphors for creativity.
Joakim Jardenberg's presentation
The document discusses how 2010 marked a watershed year in which new technologies empowered activists and journalists to speak out against repressive governments and push for greater respect of human rights. It suggests that repressive governments now face the real possibility that their days are numbered due to technologies that allow information to spread more freely. The summary highlights how new technologies have given voice to critics of authoritarian regimes and represent a threat to governments that try to strictly control information.

This document discusses problems with current copyright laws. It argues that copyright has become too restrictive, suppressing innovation, expression, and the ability to critique culture. Two problems outlined are that people must get permission to criticize culture, limiting available works, and that innovation is suppressed. However, the document notes that in Brazil, more lenient copyright laws allow culture to build upon older works, bringing society together through shared culture and art. It distinguishes between plagiarism and copyright, stating that plagiarism should be avoided because it inhibits creative thinking, but copyright laws should not be so restrictive that they prevent thinking altogether.
How to get out of (extreme) citizen scientists way
The digital information age promises a shift in the definition of who can do science and what science is for. The power balance in the production of scientific knowledge is shifting, initiated by DIY scientists, tryers, as well as professional scientists engaging in ever more participatory public research aided by digital technologies. However, defined and driven by prevailing institutionalised patterns of power and authority, the professionalisation of knowledge remains problematic undermining ordinary people’s hopes, passions and capacity to contribute. There is evidence that it is through the bottom-up envisioning and devising of methods and through the creation, re-purposing, and use of technologies, that some people are taking a lead applying their civic capacities into scientific research initiatives that challenge and/or question the state of things to address issues of concern to them. Conceptualised as Publicly Initiated Scientific Research (PIScR) it is these efforts that provide the granularity and nuance that renders them inclusive of local issues, knowledges, politics, and solutions. Understanding PIScR within citizen science and Participatory Action Research reveals the extent to which technologies enable the leveraging of production of knowledge between professional/institutional science and civil society as well as key concerns on the democratising potential of science.

What Science Fiction Can Teach Us About Building Communities
Presented at LinuxCon NA in New Orleans.
Communities are one of the defining attributes that shape every open source project, not unlike how Asimov's 3 laws of robotics shape the behavior of robots and provide the checks and balances that help make sure that robots and community members continue to play nicely with others. When looking at open source communities from the outside, they may seem small and well-defined until you realize that they seem much larger and complex on the inside, and they may even have a mind of their own, not unlike the TARDIS from Doctor Who. We can even learn how we should not behave in our communities by learning more about the Rules of Acquisition and doing the opposite of what a good Ferengi would do. My favorite rules to avoid include, "Greed is eternal", â"You can always buy back a lost reputation" and "When in doubt, lie". This session focuses on tips told through science fiction.
The Playspace of Publicly Initiated Scientific Research
Flying kites and balloons for aerial photography engages people in ways often not considered, as the Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science (PublicLab.org) demonstrates. As an ideal, Publicly Initiated Scientific Research (PIScR) is a way we engage in research creating new ways of knowing and understanding, of exploring and doing, of tapping into our potential and of giving rise to unheard voices. As Gertz and Justo argue in their book "Env. monitoring with Arduino": understanding brings knowledge and with knowledge comes the power to make decisions that can change our lives for the better - from holding polluters accountable, campaigning to lower electricity and gas bills, to getting to know ourselves again for the first time! Our role is to untap the potential of people to address issues that are important to them; to acknowledge and push for a belief in people - in their abilities, their skills, their passions, their knowledges; which at the moment is highly undervalued and underestimated.
Play is a key component in our work at Citizens Without Borders: engaging with individuals and groups through play it is not only the way we learn but it also builds memories and experiences harnessed in enjoyment for doing something close at heart; it makes us feel a part of something greater. When engaging with DIY technologies and engaging in DIY research there is a very powerful element at work - there is genuine joy when learning that you are able to do, sense, or create something you did not think you could, especially, when you have made the invisible visible with your own hands. Playfulness embodies a sense of "involvement and detachment, self-expression and self-transcendence, individuality and cooperation" (Gwen Gordon, 2013). Boundaries become fluid, defences dissolve and give way to spontaneity. I believe that it is in this context and with this attitude that exploration and experimentation for discovery in publicly initiated scientific research can be kindled.
It is important to continue giving impetus to this by creating playspaces because many people are already taking initiative in solving their own problems, they are ingenious and resourceful, imaginative and creative - and they know the power that knowledge can bring.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...
This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
