Development by Davis: “The spread of open source at SXSW” plus 1 more |
The spread of open source at SXSW Posted: 18 Mar 2013 02:00 AM PDT If you need evidence of the spread of interest in open source, look to the history of SXSW Interactive schedules. Just between this year and last, the number of talks tagged with "open source" grew from 17 to 26, and that doesn't include the growth in relevant book readings, meetups, sponsors, and parties. Even one of this year's keynotes was delivered by Julie Uhrman, founder and CEO of OUYA. |
Death Star petition inspires citizen collaboration Posted: 18 Mar 2013 12:00 AM PDT In October, I used "We the People" as an example of how to get citizens engaged with government in an open manner. In November, those engaged citizens petitioned the government to consider building a Death Star. By January, enough signatures had been gathered to garner the administration's consideration and, in my mind, a well authored response. The exercise may have been a geeky back and forth which you may see as a joke, but I feel any citizen engagement is good engagement. You may also think that's the end of the story, however, someone who read my earlier post sent me a link to the Death Star Kickstarter page. |
