Now Blogging with PHP 5/MySQL 5

9 Apr 2007 By Nate Angell Leave a Comment

Thanks to quick work by my host Liquidweb (thanks Siena!), this site is now delivered by the three fives: Drupal 5, PHP 5 and MySQL 5. Still waiting for Linux 5 and Apache 5 ;)

One of my goals here is to demonstrate/evaluate how this technology will operate on a forward-looking platform. Ever since Rasmus Lerdorf himself suggested dropping PHP 4 for the good of all at OSCMS 2007, I figure we better get ready for the future.

Check my blog recipe for platform details.

Opinion | The Never-Ending Disruption of American History

Political and technological dislocation have fed off each other since the nation’s founding. Now they are dangerously out of whack.

The underlying premise is that there used to be a balance between tech innovation and political response in the USA, but since Reagan, there has not.

A radically open approach to developing infrastructure for Open Science

I believe a model where commercial providers develop and maintain open scholarly communications infrastructure requires four basic principles of openness: Open Source, Open Data, Open Integrations, and Open Contracts.

Hindawi CEO lays out the four elements he sees as key to proprietary companies participating effectively in building and providing infrastructure to support open science.

Leveraging Technology to Create Social Readers

Between publishers' higher costs of textbooks and students' struggle with large amounts of reading materials, getting students to both access and engage more deeply with texts is a challenge.

Two challenges that #OER and #annotation together can provide infrastructure to help solve: the high cost of learning materials and engaging teachers and learners in social reading, discussion and analysis. Issues to solve: both OER and annotation don't require digital reading, but are both made more powerful through it. Yet technology access and reading preferences don't always support to digital reading. Solution: Explore online and offline, digital and print experiments in OER and annotation/social reading.

A Broader Form of Openness – Ethan Senack – Medium

most of all, re-establishes education as a force for equity and social mobility — and I think open licensing is a crucial piece of that equation.I’m not content, though, with open licensing being the extent of our vision, and I hope many others feel the same way.

Amen: open licensing as key infrastructure in improving public education rather than an end in itself!

Patreon Engineering Levels

Engineering focus, but a very detailed rubric of how to rank different personnel levels. Could maybe be generalized/adapted for other fields.
