It’s definitely worth a listen. There’s been some interesting activity in the realm of women in open source. There is a podcast with a group of women developers that was recorded during RailsConf. There is a part two coming, I understand. Also, I’ll be moving this blog soon – probably next week. Be Helpful.

Shell sessions are basically not doable, unless I am amazingly patient – the 4 second latency is definitely a problem in that case. YouTube ain’t bad. It even snowed a bit – and everything seems fine. But it didn’t stay good. About 5:00, the bandwidth hit the floor. It bounced back up a couple of times. Be Helpful.

Open Office works better on Linux than on the mac, as does thunderbird and firefox For a few things (mostly system/network tools) there are some incredibly awesome options, amazingly good for free (as in beer) software, and better than software you’d pay for. In general, installation and configuration of software has become much easier.

Are there any tools that you know of that combine CMS and CRM (rather than pasting a web form html snippet on to another website)?

It’s definitely a thing to watch. They’ve just released a beta version (sorry, Mac only, for once) of a new platform for internet video, called DTV. This is very cool. It makes finding channels with interesting video easy, as well as making channels easy. It might indeed make vlogging a lot easier as well. Be Helpful.

at 10:00 am It seems to me that open social networking protocols are definitely the way forward. I don’t like schemes like that (although I guess its a bit more honest – it’s clear that money is being made in the number of eyeballs – and I guess some of it is making it back to the users. 6 Joe 09.01.07 Be Helpful.

Part IIa: Social Bookmarking September 24, 2006 After writing my post on tagging , I got sidetracked by Marnie Webb’s mention of ma.gnolia , and then went off to investigate, then decided to write about social bookmarking tools. Ma.gnolia is a new(ish) social bookmarking tool. It should be interesting to see how this plays out.

It definitely focuses a lot on the eye candy, which is nice, actually – I like that the admin interface is pretty. CMSs do share that pretty serious learning curve – but I’m getting over it, slowly. So I like Joomla. Do I like it better than Drupal? I’m not yet sure. I know, that’s silly, but it’s true.

Definitely an interesting conversation to have. I could see being paid some base for doing the work and then a bonus or something on top of that for achieving specific outcomes. I actually have a book around here somewhere that describes how to negotiate this kind of process. I’ll have to look for it. 2 Alan Weiss 10.23.07

There’s definitely room for an open source effort, but it needs to match the realities of the nonprofit world: most nonprofits don’t have the benefit of in-house techies, most don’t like their data out on the web, and most can’t afford thousands of dollars or hours. So what are all the others doing?

However I wanted to record, primarily for my own sake, while fresh in my mind a recap of the social media tools we used (and other related factors) for our conference.

My first time in really understanding what that meant was in 2008. So definitely, if we had more time, I would jump into that a little bit more, but I want to just leave you with that top line thought. Definitely working on a hold on my power. You are definitely grieving right now and expected to work. Oh, my gosh.

What do these tools allow you to do? It’s definitely a new project, and a very new community (with some huge warts) but it is promising for organizations that want to create private (or public, perhaps) social networks that include groups, discussions, document sharing, bookmarking, blogs and other things. 3 Takeo 04.28.09
