"Jul 06, 2016 By Doc Searls in Community Identity kernel Privacy I believe the best and worst thing about Linux is its hard distinction between kernel space and user space. Without that distinction, Linux never would have become the most leveraged operating system in the world. Today, Linux has the largest range of uses for the largest number of users-most of whom have no idea they are using Linux when they search for something on Google or poke at their Android phones. Even Apple stuff wouldn't be what it is (for example, using BSD in its computers) were it not for Linux's success. "

"I listen to music all the time while working at my PC (which is much of the day). Sometimes I'm pretty much tethered to the desk for long stretches, and sometimes I wander about the office (aka house) for new ideas or just to change my perspective. "

"Most people probably have an idea about what a hacker looks like. The image of someone sitting alone at a computer, with their face obscured by a hoodie, staring intently at lines of code in which their particular brand of crime or mischief is rooted, has become widely associated with hackers. You can confirm this by simply doing an image search for "hackers" and seeing what you come up with"

"Henry Ford famously quipped that if he'd asked what people wanted, they'd have said, "faster horses." There are countless numbers of ideas being funded every day that are aimed at essentially building faster horses. The result is that we have available an enormous embarrassment of riches in technology, information and economy - but how many of them are truly groundbreaking or innovative?"

A speculative work of non-fiction that explores the idea that as the Internet increases in complexity that it may soon become a self-aware consciousness being. When this happens, what sort of consequences might there be? What kind of relationship could we have with such a being? Will we be at odds with it, or will we be able to establish a sort of symbiotic relationship with this synthetic being?

"I'd like to invite you to join us for a virtual book club to discuss open leadership, organizational management, and other ideas from The Open Organization: Igniting Passion and Performance by Jim Whitehurst. Starting on August 31, we'll discuss the book chapter by chapter, for seven weeks, one chapter per week."

"3. Junio 2015 - 15:00 Mientras va calando en la conciencia colectiva la idea de el 15M como una especie de "revolucion de las clases medias", esa definición arroja más preguntas que respuestas...¿qué son las clases medias? ¿pueden ser revolucionarias? ¿no supone eso una contradicción en los términos?"

"¿Qué es la teoría del bien común? Es una economía que todo el mundo puede entender porque está basada en los mismos valores que permiten florecer las relaciones humanas, desde la honestidad hasta la cooperación, los valores constitucionales, la dignidad, la solidaridad, la sostenibilidad o la propia idea de la democracia. "

needed: * The trend-spotter, who finds a promising innovation early. * The evangelist, who passionately makes the case for idea X or person Y. * The superspreader, who broadcasts innovations to a larger group. * The skeptic, who keeps the conversation honest. * General participants, who show up, comment honestly, and learn.

[ Collective Power By James Quigley & Mehrdad Baghai Published Feb. 16, 2011 12:00 p.m. "As One. Five letters that make all the difference between a group of individuals and a unified team. Two words that transform individual action into collective power. One idea that can help you realize the full power of your people. […]

"Taking their cue from social media, educators at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a social networking application called Classroom Salon that engages students in online learning communities that effectively tap the collective intelligence of groups. Thousands of high school and university students used Classroom Salon (CLS), http://www.classroomsalon.org/, this past academic year to share their ideas about texts, news articles and other reading materials or their critiques of each others' writings. With the support of the Next Generation Learning Challenges initiative, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, CLS will be used in an innovative experiment at the University of Baltimore to see if it can help students who are in danger of failing introductory courses or otherwise dropping out of college. "Sites such as Facebook and Twitter have captured the attention of young people in a way that blogs and online discussion forums have not," said Ananda Gunawardena, associate teaching professor in the Computer Science Department, who developed CLS with David S. Kaufer, professor of English. "With Classroom Salon, we've tried to capture the sense of connectedness that makes social media sites so appealing, but within a framework that that allows groups to explore texts deeply. So it's not just social networking for the sake of socializing but enhancing the student experience as readers and writers.""

[The idea is to create a research group centering around understanding the 'object' of emerging peer to peer dynamics, and more particularly the emerging forms of peer production, governance and property, and the associated paradigms of openness, participation, and commons-orientation. ...]

"Open is about sharing and collaboration. It's the idea that "we" is more powerful, more rewarding and fulfilling than "I". I can't promise jobs, but I do know that open is becoming very big. Governments and funders are pushing the open agenda, even though academics are generally uninterested or seriously self-interested."

"The last chapter of The Open Organization talks about how a leader in an open community has to be a catalyst, "an agent that provokes or speeds significant change in action." When I read this definition, say it out loud, and reflect on my connotations of this word, I sense a degree of urgency. I don't think of a catalyst as necessary calculated, so I would like to explore the idea of a "calm catalyst.""

"This site is about using the principles of Open Source software development to shape the world and the society we live in. I propose that wherever possible work is organized using these ideas and mechanisms. Whenever something is needed by an individual or a group, they will start a project and make it happen, no matter whether it is a children's playground in their neighbourhood or a law affecting the region they live in. This way, work is done by those who need the results and they are motivated as in open source projects."

"Elon Musk reckons the robot revolution is inevitable and it's going to take all the jobs. For humans to survive in an automated world, he said that governments are going to be forced to bring in a universal basic income-paying each citizen a certain amount of money so they can afford to survive. According to Musk, there aren't likely to be any other options."

"Richard Stallman es el fundador de la Free Software Foundation y también el responsable del proyecto GNU. Creador del movimiento más revolucionario de la historia de la informática, es el hombre que dio vida al software libre."

So The Media, Now, request what the Internet Users have been claiming since last 90's to definitively resolve the sharing practices, while -since then- The Same Press criticized all the proposals of The Internet Community to legalize Sharing, extracting some portion of The ISP's Fees to Pay Creation... Meanwhile, everyb@dy know that if Press is...
