iTVP czyli neutralność państwa w praktyce

Submitted by veriKami on 27 November 2007 - 6:05am.

Telewizja BBC od ostatnich wakacji udostępnia swoje programy przez internet. Niestety, na razie tylko dla użytkowników systemu Windows XP.

Dlatego BBC Trust nakazał brytyjskiej telewizji publicznej takie przygotowanie serwisu internetowego, by był on dostępny dla wszystkich użytkowników komputerów, niezależnie od tego, z jakiego systemu korzystają. Rzecz jest logiczna: jeśli telewizja utrzymywana jest z publicznych pieniędzy, to ma psi obowiązek dotrzeć do wszystkich płacących na jej utrzymanie widzów, a nie tylko do tych, którzy korzystają ze ściśle określonych produktów. Wyobrażacie sobie telewizję, którą można obejrzeć tylko na telewizorze Sony?

HOWTO: Contribute to Open Source Projects Without Coding

Submitted by veriKami on 20 November 2007 - 2:36pm.
Maybe you've seen many good Open Source projects that are no longer maintained. One of the many reasons for that may be lack of contribution. In fact, there are many one-man projects out there. Most of any program's users are just that, users, not developers. Nevertheless, average users still can contribute to Open Source programs to make them better.

Drupal as a platform for an academic community

Submitted by veriKami on 6 November 2007 - 8:37am.

Hi all,

I am evaluating different CMS as a platform for a community site
that will host several academic projects, discussion fora etc. The
audience are people working with information technology as part of
their research and we want to provide a platform where they can prepare
their projects or discuss related questions. From what I have seen
Drupal, maybe in the OpenAcademic flavour, seems like a very good
choice for what we have in mind.
