Comment on Reflections on Digital Media Camp by Larry Borsato

Larry Borsato — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 03:19:28 +0000

The initial definition of digital media was a first cut based on what we thought we understood, and you are right that it is weak. Based on what we heard today, and comments like yours, we will refine it. In fact, I expect that we will be refining it constantly.

As far as Open Source and Creative Commons, the groups behind the creation of the CDMN have long been proponents of those and other movements. We will strive to make the content we aggregate open to all. digitalmediacamp.org is an example of information that is gathered from those willing to share for the benefit of all, and it will grow in size and value with each successive event.

Thanks for coming, for commenting, and for sharing your time and passion with us!

Nelson — you and the TikiWiki community have done an amazing job with SUMO. I’m really glad to have you as a part of the SUMO team and I’m excited about the closer collaboration between the Mozilla and TikiWiki communities.

It was really nice to meet you at Penguin Days. There are a couple of nice pics of you in my Flickr stream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/97438398@N00/2356533822/in/set-72157604224810489/

I am talking with a New Orleans NGO about Kaltura today. I can let you know if there is any feedback.

Could you ping my e-mail address so I can have your e-mail?

Thanks,

Comment on Introducing WikiNetNav by Mike Kerr

I never fill in the website section so thought I’d throw in the only substantial web-related thing I’m doing outside of work.

I was reading your blog and recall vaguely that someone was doing some sort of research into social networks on one of the sites. I watched some of the video clips (will watch them all when I can throw some headphones on) and while I don’t know a lot about social networking I find it fascinating. Plus I’ve seen it used on NUMB3RS.

I’m interested not only to learn more about it but to offer services to your WikiNetNav project. Not sure where I’d fit in, but I’ll help where I can.

I’m fairly good at php (check the cvs list for some of the stuff I’ve done), am the maintainer or record at the moment for the Tiki workflow tool, and have actually used some of the graphic features built into it php (though I suspect you’re using a third party lib).

Let me know what you’re looking for.

Mike.

Comment on Social Network Analysis of TikiWiki by Nelson Ko

When I first transcoded the videos from the original on my MacBook, they sounded OK, so I did not detect that the audio balance was way off (volume for the left channel is way too low). It was only after viewing them on my PC that I realized this. I will try and find some time to get to the bottom of this.

Sounds very interesting and similar to the research work that I’m doing. Your presentation is great, however I can’t hear the audio in a lot of the YouTube videos, is it like that?

Great analysis.

Comment on Rooms, spaces, or folders for containment? by Nelson Ko

Nelson Ko — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 18:32:41 +0000

Update: We’ve kind of given up with the use of “room”. Users overwhelmingly favor the more generic “workspace”. Not sure if this is a cultural thing, but the jury has spoken. Also, “binders” seem to work better than “structures” or any other term so far for multi-page collections.

Friends, Enemies and Frenemies

Yesterday Om Malik coined a new word – Frenemy.
A frenemy is used to describe a business relationship where companies are friends of today, enemies tomorrow and friends again the day after. It’s the modern name for co-opetition the business mindset…
