[OpenGuides-Dev] non-UK openguides
by jo walsh 11 Mar '04

11 Mar '04

hi again, as briefly mentioned on irc we'd like to set up an open guide to san francisco. i wonder what the oslo people did to de-UK-ify their openguides - just delete the OSX and Y fields from their template? the openguides we ran at etcon not really for geographic purposes i did fix up to accept UTM and convert back and forth between lat and long (and OS numbering is just a UTM coordinate with a digit missing i learned) also i was thinking of plugging in a geocoder to generate lat and long from street addresses - e.g. http://headmap.org/geocoder/geolookup.cgi - postcode boundaries being very large here. is anyone else looking at that, i could try and assemble these changes into a patch but they were a bit messy and should be config options... jo -- "Common sense won't tell you.

[OpenGuides-Dev] Making maps of your OpenGuide
by jo walsh 11 Mar '04

11 Mar '04

hi openguides, (hi ivor, i saw moblogged pictures of you talking about mapping openguides to the SVG people at http://moblog.nicecupoftea.org the other day. hope you enjoyed it... ) you might not know schuyler and rich are working on a 'mapping hacks' book from ORA and soliciting user contributions from the wild. there are three openguides hacks pencilled in to it, all of which have my name on them. i thought a/ ivor might like to write up his talk into a hack, the book doesnt have enough SVG in it, b/ kake might like to write a hack based on some of that perl.com article, including new features c/ i'm not really trying to palm it off onto other people, but reckon you would do it better than me if i could persuade you. a 'hack' is typically 1000-2000 words in length, and includes about 50 lines of interesting code, and is focused on getting a simple thing done. the list is at http://mappinghacks.com/cgi-bin/hacks.cgi jo -- "Common sense won't tell you.

Last night I gave a talk at the London SVG Users Group on drawing maps for OpenGuides. http://un.earth.li/~ivorw/slides/ogmaps.ppt I have had feedback that it was well received, and I am contemplating giving a variant of the talk to London.pm. Hopefully I will be able to get some working demos ready for the talk :). Ivor.

[OpenGuides-Dev] Legal issues?
by brian＠alternation.net 08 Mar '04

08 Mar '04

Hi All, After installing OpenGuides (thanks Kake!) and playing around with it for a bit, I was immediately confronted with a not so simple question: Are there any legal issues with putting restaurant information online (most obviously without consent)? Now, right off I could say "Pfft! We're doing them a favor -- free advertising!" But, what if said restaurant doesn't like how the information is displayed. Also, after entering information, are we liable for keeping the data current? There are no doubt many more questions that could be asked and the laws will surely depend on the country we're talking about, but, IANAL and I don't have any answers. There are existing OpenGuides out there -- have they asked these questions? -Brian

[OpenGuides-Dev] Hashing out some documentation
by Earle Martin 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

I'm trying to write some documentation that I think is needed: http://openguides.org/dev/?node=How%20To%20Set%20Up%20A%20Guide (Sorry Kake, this doesn't really adhere to the rules of the dev wiki.) If anyone would like to contribute, that would be great. -- Earle Martin hex on irc.perl.org http://purl.oclc.org/net/earlemartin/

To mark Ars Electronica's twenty-fifth anniversary in 2004, the Prix Ars Electronica has expanded its international competition for cyberarts to include a new "Digital Communities" category singling out for recognition projects of great sociopolitical relevance. This new category encompasses the social consequences of the Internet as well as the latest developments in the domain of mobile communications and wireless networks. For a detailed description of the category and about Prix Ars Electronica in general, please see the attached PDF file or our website http://prixars.aec.at. Prizes Two Golden Nicas will be awarded with 10,000 Euro each and 4 Awards of Distinction with 5,000 Euro each and up to 14 Honorary Mentions. The closing deadline for the entries is March 12th, 2004. If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us. Looking forward to your positive reply! Sincerely yours, Iris Mayr Iris Mayr AEC Ars Electronica Center Linz Museumsgesellschaft mbH Hauptstrasse 2 A-4040 Linz / Austria Tel: +43-732-7272-74 Fax: +43-732-7272-676 Email: communities(a)prixars.aec.at http://prixars.aec.at/ <<prix_folder_DC.pdf>> Prix Ars Electronica 2004 Prix Ars Electronica 2004 is the 18th editition of the foremost international competition for computer-based art. To mark Ars Electronica's 25th anniversary in 2004, it is being expanded to include a "Digital Communities" domain dedicated to social developments of great current relevance. Deadline for submissions is March 12, 2004. Prix Ars Electronica 2004 will be awarded in the following categories: "Computer Animation / Visual Effects", "Digital Musics", "Interactive Art", "Net Vision" and "Digital Communities". Computer Animation / Visual Effects The "Computer Animation / Visual Effects" category has been part of the Prix Ars Electronica since its very inception. It recognizes excellence in independent work in the arts and sciences as well as in high-end commercial productions in the film, advertising and entertainment industries. In this category, artistic originality counts just as much as masterful technical achievement. Digital Musics Contemporary digital sound productions from the broad spectrum of "electronica" come in for consideration in the "Digital Musics" category, as do works combining sound and media, computer compositions ranging from electro-acoustic to experimental music, or sound installations. This category's programmatic agenda is to expand horizons beyond the confines of individual genres and artistic currents. Interactive Art The "Interactive Art" category is dedicated to interactive works in all forms and formats, from installations to performances. Here, particular consideration is given to the realization of apowerful artistic concept through the especially appropriate use of technologies, the innovativeness of the interaction design, and the work's inherent potential to expand the human radius of action. Net Vision The "Net Vision" category singles out for recognition artistic projects in the Internet that display brilliance in how they have been engineered, designed and- especially-conceived, works that are outstanding with respect to innovation, interface design and the originality of their content. The way in which a work of net-based art deals with the online medium is essential in this category. Digital Communities "Digital Communities" encompasses the wide-ranging social consequences of the Internet as well as the latest developments in the domain of mobile communications and wireless networks. "Digital Communities" will spotlight bold and inspired innovations impacting human coexistence, bridging the digital divide regarding gender as well as geography, or creating outstanding social software and enhancing accessibility of technological-social infrastructure. This new category will showcase the political potential of digital and networked systems and is thus designed as a forum for a broad spectrum of projects, programs, initiatives and phenomenain which social innovation is taking place, as itwere, in real time. u19-freestyle computing Competition for young people under 19 in Austria Prix Ars Electronica u19-freestyle computing is an open category for all works that have been designed with or executed by the computer-from websites to software to robots. "freestyle computing" stands for freedom from the restrictions associated with the use of different tools and for a competition that pays just as much attention to innovation and creativity as it does to the age of the individual submitting it. [The next idea] Art and Technology Grant Discovering ideas for tomorrow in young minds today is the aim of this spin-off the highly successful u19 competition. Artists age 19-27 are invited to submit ideas and proposals for works not yet realized. The winner receives a stipend in the amount of 7,500 Euro and will be invited to spend a term as Artist in Residence at the Ars Electronica Futurelab-a great opportunity to bring project ideas to fruition and subsequently to present them to a large international audience at the Ars Electronica Festival.

[OpenGuides-Dev] BLOBs in SQLite and MySQL?
by Toby Corkindale 26 Jan '04

26 Jan '04

Hi there, I've written a file-attachment patch for OpenGuides and CGI::Wiki, which stores the files in BLOBs. I've written the relevant CGI::Wiki::Store::Pg module for Postgresql, but I don't know so much about SQLite or MySQL. Do they support BLOBs? Is it a similar enough interface to PostgreSQL that I should be doing this stuff at a generic (CGI::Wiki::Store) level instead? ta, Toby -- Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.

[OpenGuides-Dev] [upload@pause.perl.org: CPAN Upload: K/KA/KAKE/OpenGuides-0.30.tar.gz]
by Kate L Pugh 22 Jan '04

22 Jan '04

----- Forwarded message from PAUSE <upload(a)pause.perl.org> ----- The URL http://the.earth.li/~kake/code/OpenGuides-0.30.tar.gz has entered CPAN as file: $CPAN/authors/id/K/KA/KAKE/OpenGuides-0.30.tar.gz size: 51750 bytes md5: 2b0f556c6faa961edbed61c6298051f9 ----- End forwarded message ----- There may well be another release or two before Monday, so don't feel you have to upgrade right away. >From Changes: Added method to allow admins to delete nodes. You will need to explicitly enable this option in your wiki.conf, since it brings with it the risk of accidental data loss. Major overhaul of templates - added numerous style hooks. See examples/ for two stylesheet designs that take advantage of these. Added new banner template for page headers. Also ensured presence of navigation bar is consistent. *** INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: *** The navbar class in the stylesheet has been renamed to, unsurprisingly, "navbar", for consistency (from "toolbar"). *** YOU WILL NEED TO REWRITE YOUR STYLESHEET. *** You are advised to create a duplicate wiki.cgi that reads its data from your database but its stylesheet and templates from the new ones in order to test them *before* deploying them. Added "FAQ", "How To Get Started" and "Wiki Etiquette" to the navigation, under "Help" - these won't exist unless you create them on your site, so at first the links serve as examples of documentation you can provide. Modified preferences.cgi so that all the help links in the navbar can be hidden, not just the text formatting link. Fixed some HTML validation bugs. Added multiple install and pretty URL notes to INSTALL. Removed pubcrawl stuff from distro for now - it doesn't really work. Changed to use CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Diff instead of OpenGuides::Diff. Kake
