OpenNet Initiative
http://www.opennetinitiative. net/

The OpenNet Initiative is a University-based policy research project documenting filtering and surveillance practices worldwide. Our aim is to excavate, expose and analyze these practices in a credible and non-partisan fashion to uncover the potential pitfalls of present policies to explore the possibility of unintended and unexpected consequences and thus to help inform better public policy and advocacy work in this area. To achieve these aims, the ONI employs a unique multi-disciplinary approach that includes: Advanced Technical Means -- using a suite of sophisticated network interrogation tools and metrics; and Local Knowledge Expertise -- through a global network of regionally based researchers and experts. OpenNet Initiative research will be published on this website in a series of national and regional case studies, occasional papers, and bulletins. This has been added to Privacy Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

OpenPrivacy Initiative
http://www.openprivacy.org/

The OpenPrivacy initiative is an Open Source collection of software frameworks, protocols and services providing a cryptographically secure and distributed platform for creating, maintaining, and selectively sharing user profile information.

In effect, OpenPrivacy is the first open platform that enables user control over personal data while simultaneously - and at user discretion - providing marketers with access to higher quality profile segments. The resulting marketplace for anonymous demographic profiles will create opportunities for a new breed of personalized services that provide people and businesses with timely and relevant information. Throughout the system, information may be shared with guaranteed personal privacy, creating at last a level playing field for the user, marketer and infomediaries.

According to the side of the Cheerios box, if we send in $5, First Book will "give children from low-income familes the opportunity to own their first new books." As school districts routinely ask parents to chip in to pay for the basic supplies the school needs, it's good to know that educating our children - a basic government service - is being outsourced to General Mills. Look, I'm glad Cheerios is asking us to support a charity, and First Book seems to be a worthy group. I'm just not enough of a libertarian to prefer largesse to taxes when...

Today at the Berkman Center, Dewayne Hendricks of the Dandin Group led a 1.5 hr presentation/discussion of California's Gigabit or Bust Initiative and the general state of massive wifi connectedness. Dewayne has been setting up large (really large) wireless networks in Tonga and Mongolia where the regulatory environment is - let's say - looser than here in the US. Thus, he can put technologies to the test that are caught in political bear traps in this country. Fascinating. The gigabit initiative intends to deliver 1 gigabit access to all Californians by 2010. Dewayne is convinced that only wireless will do...

The Metasearch Initiative: Looking for Data in All the Right Places
http://snipurl.com/7ig2

Whether you call it metasearch, federated search or broadcast search, the idea of exploring multiple resources using a single interface has long been the pipe dream of libraries. Unfortunately, most of the disparate data resources patrons want to search serve their data in many different ways, or not at all. While Google and the like search anything, the challenge for the library profession is to create ways to search well in all the right places. At the 2003 ALA Midwinter Meeting, three vendors -- EBSCO, Gale and ProQuest -- met to discuss the problem. Led by the National Information Standards Organization, workshop meetings were held and the Metasearch Initiative was formed. With a mix of librarians, publishers and library-software providers, the Metasearch Initiative has drawn the participation of more than 60 individuals from five countries. Even large publishers who have already developed proprietary XML gateways are involved. The Metasearch Initiative intends to identify, develop, and frame the standards and other common understandings needed to enable an efficient and robust information environment. The Metasearch Initiative's goals are to enable service providers to offer more effective and responsive services, help content providers deliver enhanced content while protecting their intellectual property, and enable libraries to deliver services that distinguish their offerings from Google and other free Web search services.

PubSub's structured bl0gging initiative


PubSub's structured bl0gging initiative 03/24/2005 02:27 PM
I had a fascinating conversation the other day with Bob Wyman, the CTO and co-founder of PubSub.com. PubSub's game is "prospective search" -- watchlists, in other words. You plug in search terms; PubSub compares them to the new content it sees; it alerts you when things match, via RSS or XMPP (Jabber). The obvious application is ego-surfing: watching reactions to your own name, your company's name, your product's name. But PubSub differs from, say, a Technorati watchlist, in its commitment to speedy notification of a match. Time-sensitive matches can be reported in just a few seconds, Bob says. In this case the delivery mechanism of choice is XMPP, and PubSub offers sidebars for Firefox and IE to receive these realtime alerts. I'm not usually in that much of a hurry, but plenty of folks are: traders, for example, whose antennae quiveringly anticipate the next scrap of market-moving news. ...

The CTI's goal is to spur local broadband infrastructure: The idea is to get municipalities involved in stating their goals and needs for broadband, but the CTI doesn't support a particular method of reaching those goals. Each town and city should take action in understanding what they need instead of waiting for other interests--incumbent, governmental, or otherwise--to bestow broadband upon them. I wouldn't describe this group as pro-municipal broadband, but rather pro-municipal understanding of broadband.

I've lead a dogged pursuit of the financial connections among groups opposed to any municipal involvement in broadband, telecom, and cable, and I would be suspect if I didn't track the CTI's origins. The CTI lists "endorsers" and a "facilitator."

The endorsers include TechNet (huge variety of leaders of large technology firms as members), Public Technology Institute (city and county governments), AeA (board contains a vast array of technology companies), Information Technology Association of America (no membership list, but an array of large tech companies on its various boards). The facilitator is Digital Village Associates, a firm that works on private/public partnerships.

I see lots of capitalists in these lists. And lots of companies that sell to both public and private enterprises, and thus have every interest in ensuring more broadband and more partnership to improve American competitiveness and our economic vigor.

Acer Offers Free Wireless for K-12 Education

Acer America Corp. has announced the 'Wi-Fi 101' initiative, which will provide free wireless access points and installation to select K-12 schools nationwide. With the support of Intel Corp., Acer America will canvas and select one school in each qualified school district for Wi-Fi 101, with up to 120 schools participating nationwide for the program. Each designated school will be eligible for the installation of up to four access points in two different locations at no cost to the school or the school district.

Wireless connectivity can enable K-12 environments to enjoy the advantages of technology such as Internet access without incurring the more expensive infrastructure costs often associated with hard-wiring. Wireless technology also accelerates the availability of advanced networking in environments where hard-wiring is not a viable option. The intent of Acer is to be in the forefront of providers to education environments, offering solutions that will help speed the penetration of technology into education.

The installation of the wireless access points requires no funding or manpower contribution on the part of schools or district personnel. Interested schools are invited to contact Acer at www.acer.com/wifi101, or their local Acer reseller for details on applying for the program. Upon approval, Acer America will arrange for a site inspection of existing network connections. Up to two wireless sites employing four access points will be installed at each participating school, with the library, cafeteria or computer laboratory being the obvious choices for their Wi-Fi hotspots.

For more information about Wi-Fi 101, visit www.acer.com/wifi101.

T.H.E. Newsletter is a weekly bulletin comprised of recent announcements that affect the education community. Our goal is to keep our readers well informed with the most up to date news. In addition, we hope our audience will share with us their opinions regarding educational technology issues so we may be certain we are covering the topics that are of most interest to them. Do not reply to this email. Direct any questions or comments about T.H.E. Newsletter to mailto:THENews@thejournal. com. [Wireless Librarian Mailing List]

CITIZEN MEDIA INITIATIVE LIST


CITIZEN MEDIA INITIATIVE LIST 04/04/2005 01:47 PM

Judith Meskill may have her famous "Soc ial Networking Services meta" list - but we (ourmedia.org) made it onto the new CITIZEN MEDIA INITIATIVE LIST. Along with our Bryght/sister org - NowPublic.com.

Keep by the CyberJounralist.net.

Now this does not condone in any way or admit that I call myself a journalist. But I'm proud of the job that JD has done - and now we just need ot fix all the bugs.

In case some of you are wondering as to "what happened this weekend" - the Internet Archives database was down, thereby knocking us out of the box.

But we'll have better reporting features coming up AND we're talking to several big players about joining our 'registry' of media - so we'll have other repositories that are part of the party.

The Internet Archives is mirrored in Amsterdam and Alexandria, Egypt - but no amount of redendancy, mirroring and all that good stuff will save yah from Murphy.
