We conducted 15mmm, mapping month may 2015, which involved partners from more than 9 countries, that mapped around 300 initiatives with our mapping tool. It helped us with user-feedback on the tools, lead to a pivoting in the taxonomy approach and helped to generate new tag-categories for the taxonomy development. It also generated a lot of attention and broadened our networks.

Given the complexity of deploying and maintaining non-core infrastructure, we might start with a very basic and lightweight solution

as agile and leading edge development can be planned in waterfall perspective, but needs to be agile in “nuts-and-bolts”-development.

To cope with that we follow reduce down to a minimal viable product (MVP), that is just good enough to deliver value and generate expectation towards the next iteration, and by that build in small tangible steps and organic growth to maturity. - Very often organizations fail, as the complexity of the tasks to process is growing much faster thanthe ability of the individuals, and the organizational body to handle that complexity.

In the cycle of technological development and it ́s respective funding, there is an upwards-spiral interaction between funding and proof of concept. Each new funding unlocks the potential for a further elaborated proof of concept and maturity, which then enables to leverage further funding for investing in the further advancement, allowing the generation of further funds. That cycle must be completed until a certain maturity is reached, and the viable product turns into running operations. One of the biggest risks is, to not deliver in one iteration of this cyclical proof of concepts stages, which is often connected to the lack of focus or milestones and goals set too far to reach.

s the open source editor system we fork from (uMap) has an active developer community, we will strategize our development to be useful for the whole community and the development of the base editor as well, and engage in the communication streams of the uMap community, which ultimately also enriches the OpenStreetMap community, as uMap is based on OpenStreetMap.

that they perceive as useful in their work, and that usability is a crucial point in order to make editor and platform successful.

1.How many people are affected by the problem? Please describe the European dimension of the problem. Depending on the type of problem you are dealing with, it may be useful to provide additional information concerning the scale of the problem (e.g. size of the area, percentage or number of people affected in the case of environmental protection activities). 2.Has the scale of the problem changed during the reporting period? If possible, please also provide estimates for the likely future development. 3.What social consequences have already occurred, and what costs have been incurred by society as a result? What do you expect to be the consequences and costs if the problem remains unsolved?

1.Which specific problem did you intent to solve? The social problem should be described as specifically as possible. If several problems can be identified, they should be prioritized based on importance. 2.Who is affected by the problem? Please describe in detail who is affected by the problem and how so. 3.How has your perception of the problem changed during the reporting period (lessons learned? 4.How has the social problem itself evolved over time? What is the current situation? How will the problem develop in the future if no action is taken? 5.What are the underlying causes of the problem? Please describe interdependencies of different causes.

Wikidata, in some sense, turns DBpedia around, in that Wikidata is intended to be a data source to populate Wikipedia infoboxes than the other way around.

I read my first books on data mining back in the early 1990's and one thing I read was that "80% of the effort in a data mining project goes into data cleaning."

The convention is to use a field called type to store document types, but many frameworks use other fields, as CouchDB itself doesn’t care which field you use.

Significantly, artistic thinking aspires to develop in the opposite direction. An artistic image works its way from the realist, rational and analytic understanding back towards a mythical and animistic grasp of the world. Science and art, therefore, seem to move past each other in opposite directions along the same continuum. Whereas scientific thought progresses and differentiates, artistic thought seeks to return back to a de-differentiated and experientially singular, oceanic understanding of the world. Artistic imagination seeks expressions that are capable of mediating the entire complexity of human existential experience through singular images. In that sense, art is a perpetual tautology. It keeps repeating one and the same message: the experience of being a human being in this world. The paradoxical task of uniting singularity and universality is achieved through poeticised images that are experienced and lived rather than analyzed and understood. Alvar Aalto points out this paradoxical task and capacity of art: “In every case one must achieve a simultaneous solution of opposites[…] Nearly every design task involves te…, often hundreds, sometimes thousands of different contradictory elements, which are forced into functional harmony only by man’s will. This harmony cannot be achieved by any other means than those of art.”

The Right To Be Lazy

Our objective is to construct an interdisciplinary forum concerned with post-linguistic theories, such as those developed by Deleuze & Guattari, Derrida and Foucault, de-stabilising, de-constructing de-territorialising knowledge in order to re-consider the current civic environment.

close the semantic gap between what’s in the developer’s head and the low level nuts and bolts we have today

I hope researchers at universities and industry research labs can rise to the challenge of developing good high level cloud computing models that are portable across multiple clouds.

No human being should be writing Dockerfiles

When we are ready we could run something other than a compiler on this code to “synthesize” the actual implementation that should be deployed.

Instead, we duct tape together individual components made of C++, Javascript, shell, Python, YAML/JSON configuration files and deployment and orchestration infrastructure which morally represent the main.c of our distributed programs.

Contrail was a Cloud Federation computing project that ran from 2010-10-01 until 2014-01-31.

In other words, these web mappers are prioritizing certain things–availability, price, ninety degree angles in street grids–over other things, such as relative size of land masses.

Are we to assume that all web mappers want to subjugate foreign people and claim their territories? Probably not.

"tool of imperialists"

Greenland appear to be the same size as Africa

absolute space

Likewise, the era of "open data", "big data" and "open source mapping" has made previously inaccessible spatial datasets (or perhaps only accessible to those within certain, largely governmental, institutions) more widely available, allowing a range of people to come to grips with the geographies (aka map) any number of phenomena.

geotagging

The Internet–and information, more broadly–is always shaped by geography, and in turn shapes geographies. Rather than representing the 'end of geography', the Internet has made geography more important and visible in our everyday lives.

For instance, why are there relatively more tweets referencing zombies in Germany than in France? Is it simply language differences? Or is there a German cultural meme that is conducive to zombies? Or is it population differences such as the presence of US military personnel in Germany who are doing all the zombie tweets? Or perhaps there are simply more zombies in Germany? (Graham, Shelton, and Zook. 2013).

the fact that there are underlying geographic patterns at all is interesting

Rather, it was about how maps can help us gain alternative perspectives on the world.

Our aim is to demonstrate the always-existing intersections between our digital and material lives and spaces.

All of that is to say that this essay is the outcome not only of the individuals who wrote it, but also of the places that we have inhabited throughout the process.

on the societies, spaces, and places that are being mapped, and from which maps emerge

this essay focuses

We also want to challenge people to think deeply about space, construct maps that demonstrate an awareness of social contexts, and critique these very same maps.

And yes, the fact that it is easier to make stuff up rather than do actual work is another lesson.

A spherical or Web Mercator spatial reference system uses mathematical formulas and parameters that are incompatible with and non-compliant to the WGS 84.

There are many other questions. Of course existing systems on the earth may be very much influenced by the geographical reality of a two-dimensional surface. Historical groups have been nested geographically. So though there may be aspects in which community size is scale-free, that maybe a completely different optimisation problem from the one we have when on the Internet anyone can connect to anyone. If you could devise an algorithm for connecting people into groups, and so that they each participated in communities of different sizes in a scale-free way, then how much more effective (at solving problems, etc) can you make a web-based society which ignores geographical borders? To what extent does humanity as currently connected by the web in fact deviate from geographical nesting anyway?

I have some candidates in mind; here’s one I’d put money on — Van Jacobson’s new internet protocol is a really big deal. I realize it sounds like overreach to claim that “Named Data Networking” could be fundamental to addressing climate change — that’s my point — but my thought is, how could it not?

Worse, civic tech possibly is creating problems while intending to provide solutions.

But emails are widely understood AKA: "Vanity domains are a very small minority of nerds. Email addresses have the widest common understanding by the average internet user." Decades ago email addresses were a very small minority of nerds, fax machines had a wider common understanding. Email addresses are a more well established technology, just like fax numbers used to be before that, and home landline phone numbers before that. Each was subsequently eclipsed. Email is simply the current such transitional legacy technology.

The party in its original sense claims to articulate the general interest and will of the people. As an organizational form, the party is a sustainable structure that is here to stay regardless of its own fluctuations in the polls. But the party today is without passion and holds little relevance to people’s daily social lives and communication practices.
