Open thread: How to improve our community discussion list?

open thread

Let's talk about our community discussion list.

It's a public mailing list we created some time ago to facilitate conversation about opensource.com. We envisioned it as a channel for communication regarding both the website and the community that sustains it—not the content we feature here. And we think we can do a better job of using this list to encourage participation in opensource.com, to increase the level of transparency surrounding issues its management, and to foster collaboration between its community members.

Whose capitalism is it anyway?

Whose capitalism is it anyway?

In the few years since the financial crisis of 2008 hit us where it hurts, the calls for the "end of capitalism" have rung out from the streets and the halls of power alike. We've witnessed a lot of hand-wringing and high-level conversation—and some serious approach to reform at the national and organizational level.

As crucial as that conversation is and as laudatory and important as the efforts from the top-down are, it's striking how much experimentation and invention is already underway from the ground up. Capitalism isn't waiting to be reformed by government committee, "Davos man," or multinational CEOs (however well-intentioned). It's already morphing in dramatic ways.

ASP.NET: Unit Testing in the Navigation for ASP.NET Web Forms Framework

Posted: 31 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT

June 2012

The article will demonstrate the benefits of having a consistent approach to navigation and data passing in a Web Forms application, showing how this bears fruit when building Single-Page Interfaces. Although all the current buzz is around ASP.NET MVC, it will present a compelling argument for using the Navigation for ASP.NET Web Forms project I host on codeplex together with standard ASP.NET Ajax and DataBinding.


Cutting Edge: Mobile Site Development: Markup

Posted: 31 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT

June 2012

This column is the first of a series in which Dino Esposito approaches mobile site development from a perspective that isn't primarily focused on technology. He says that too often mobile site development is associated with specific frameworks and their solutions without much thinking about use-cases and restructuring of the content. In this colum, he starts from the basics—the mobile markup.

State standards, open source, and Universal Design for Learning

State standards, open source, and Universal Design for Learning

Common Core State Standards and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) have designed standards and frameworks to support learning in the classroom. However, their approaches on English Language Arts and the use of digital technology and open source need to be better aligned.

Common Core State Standards is a state-led initiative to provide a set core of common knowledge for children to succeed in life and learning. Each state has the option to adopt the standards or not. It is primarily based on performance and on expectations of what children are to learn at every grade level and subject. The Common Core State Standards claims that this practice will help better prepare children for high school, college, the workforce, and a global economy. The standards are heavily based on print and book-based learning.

An open source analogy: Open source is like sharing a recipe

Open source is like sharing a recipe

I love listening to open source gurus explain open source to those who have never encountered it, and especially to those with little computing background. In conversations with folks who may have never heard the term 'source code,' open source advocates don't typically have recourse to related words like 'Linux,' 'copyleft,' or 'binary blobs.' That comfortable vocabulary suddenly fails them, leaving them frustrated and stammering.
