Should we now expect a third similar opportunity, since things happen in threes? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Julian Priest <julian(a)informal.org.uk> Date: 03-Apr-2007 01:10 Subject: job at habitatmap.org for an open guides developer To: earle(a)downlode.org Hi Earle, Jo, Saul this job offer from Michael Heimbinder from www.habitatmap.org who I met at the Banff Center last November at the Almost Perfect residency. He's got a great project doing collaborative mapping of environmental hazards and info in Brooklyn and we had a look at using openguides, wikis and openstreetmap as a way of doing that without reinventing wheels which looks like it's borne fruit. I think he's planning smart phone UI too and has a phone dev on board already so could get some mass uptake there too - and it might be interesting to get a new public openguides input out of it too I guess. Do drop him a line if you are interested.. I think it'll go out on the perl lists soon too. cheers /julian Julian Priest email: julian(a)informal.org.uk mail: 108 Mount View Road, Wanganui, NZ home: +64 (0)6 343 1696 mobile: +64 (0)211 808 626 skype: julianpriest time: UTC/GMT +12 hours ----- Forwarded message from Michael Heimbinder <mheimbinder(a)gmail.com> ----- Date: Mon, 2 Apr 2007 15:22:55 -0400 From: "Michael Heimbinder" <mheimbinder(a)gmail.com> To: "julian(a)informal.org.uk" <julian(a)informal.org.uk> Open Source Perl Programmer / OpenGuides Developer Pay Rate: TBD Habitatmap.org, a community based non-profit organization, seeks a developer for a wiki- mapping and social networking website based on the OpenGuides platform,www.openguides.org.

Encouragement for OpenGuides RDF work: OG gets a mention in Structured Data blog entry
by Tom Heath 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hi all, Mike Bergman has written a susbstantial blog entry about linked, structured data on the Web, titled "Did You Blink? The Structured Web Just Arrived" that may be of interest to people on this list, in the light of the recent RDF discussions. <http://www.mkbergman.com/?p=354> The article is mainly focused on dbpedia.org, the RDFized version of Wikipedia, but touches on GeoNames and other general issues we've recently talked about. About 2/3 of the way down the page, under "Extensibility and Relation to Open Data" Mike lists "Additional candidate datasets of interest have also been identified by the SWEO interest group", including a link OpenGuides. Nice exposure for the OG in general, and especially for the RDF/XML support :) Tom.

categories, locales and tags
by Bob Walker 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

So I was playing with Operator the other day. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4106 to see what out microformat support looks like and it occured to me we are missing out on one of them... Tags. We have discussed before that we prefer categories and locales over "tags" becasue they are less freeform. However they are our "tags" and as such we should probably mark them up like that for microformat goodness. It would seem the way to do this is to add rel="tag" in the <a>. Comments, suggetions, patches? -- Bob Walker http://www.randomness.org.uk/ Stress Kittens: Squeeze them till they cry! The latest tech in homicidal tendency relief.
