Students experiment with open source journalism
,----[ Quote ]
| This transparency not only makes the
| inclusion of the community simple, it
| makes the process of doing the story
| simple. No passwords, no central
| command-and-control. Instead we are
| creating an organic and open story
| development process that engages a
| community of people who can act as
| evangelists for our work. In the world
| of the social web that creates an
| expanding virtuous circle of network
| links and reposts that gives us access
| to expertise we would otherwise have
| missed.

Free Education -- Sustaining Open-Source Curriculum?
,----[ Quote ]
| The open education movement is a new and
| exciting way to promote access to high
| quality educational content and to
| better engage teachers in using and
| developing curriculum. Truly, the
| movement has the potential to be a
| disruptive change to education and
| publishing. Yet when it comes to
| sustaining the movement, creative and
| as-yet unproven business models must be
| evolved and refined to keep the momentum
| going.
|
| Yes, FREE and open is inevitable. How
| exactly FREE navigates the highly
| governed, deeply entrenched waters of
| education is a journey just starting to
| unfold.

Science 2.0 - Time to Move Forward
,----[ Quote ]
| So why is that? It is often the job of service providers
| and manufacturers of scientific computing systems and
| applications to allow some user control over their systems.
| Or in the case of open source, to provide code access to
| developers. Open source is also one of the key success factors
| of web 2.0. How about if the users themselves customize scientific
| software architectures and built-in features to suite their
| specific needs? Or even better, design their own user interface
| for any given informatics and analytical applications. For
| example, creating their own functions, toolbars, data types
| and resource management tools. In other words, users utilize
| such applications to create their own applications.

Clay Shirky: Let a thousand flowers bloom to replace newspapers; donât build a paywall around a public good
,----[ Quote ]
| NYU professor and Internet thinker Clay Shirky gave a
| talk Tuesday at the Shorenstein Center on the Press,
| Politics and Public Policy, our friends just on the
| other side of Harvard Square. His subject was the
| future of accountability journalism in a world of
| declining newspapers. Even for those of us familiar
| with his ideas, he brought in a few new wrinkles,
| which have already been the subject of commentary
| around the web.
