title: notes
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Going through the speaker list at [thenexthope][], and seeing how many notes I
|
|
have written in tasque made me realize I consume way more than I can follow up
|
|
on. Prioritization aside, just getting this down for posterity is important, and
|
|
what better way than to public random notes on the internet? (Seriously, I need
|
|
a better scheme than this, preferrable one that following the [antihacking][]
|
|
idea I posted earlier. This post will probably be split into a few ones later,
|
|
but its better to push early and often, before this stuff slips away.

FossCon
|
|
-------
|
|
Great convention, organized by JonathanD
|
|
|
|
* Lots of talks involved open education, not just in using FOSS technologies
|
|
for IT infrastructure, but to take advantage of real world excercises,
|
|
contributing to code/documentation/art/testing in projects that people will
|
|
actually use.

|
|
* From the talk on community management given by kloeri
|
|
|
|
* define what you want from the community early on
|
|
* changing direction is ok as long as everyone is moving in the same
|
|
direction
|
|
* leave trivial bugs as low hanging fruit
|
|
* be open about exploitation of users to turn them into contributors
|
|
* take "bad" patches to illustrate ease of contribution
|
|
* attribute contributions even if the contributor did not do any of the real
|
|
work
|
|
* upstream gets contributors <> contributors get credit and learning
|
|
* users can socially engineer the developers to do work for them! (just pose
|
|
the question as an interesting problem)
|
|
* for another good example, see BFS from Con Kovilas
|
|
|
|
* POSSE
|
|
|
|
* productively lost is a good thing, stumbling around means you have a
|
|
greater learning potential
|
|
* RiT has a good FOSS movement going on, check out the foss@rit projects
|
|
page!
|
|
|
|
* Professor Stephen rocks, and so does the OLPC
|
|
|
|
* Openhatch - job site++ for FOSSheads
|
|
|
|
* Would be cool to add mission badges, integration with statusnet
|
|
|
|
* Civx.net - git history of laws!
|
|
|
|
* Both built on pygears < turbogears2 < moksha

Music to check out - stuff that sounds good at first glance but I should
|
|
consider putting into my regular rotation / radio show.
