Finding information and organizing it so that it can be found are two key aspects of any company's knowledge management strategy. Nearly everyone is familiar with the experience of searching with a Web search engine and using a search interface to search a particular Web site once you get there. (You may have even noticed that the latter often doesn't work as well as the former.) After you have a list of hits, you typically spend a significant amount of time following links, waiting for pages to download, reading through a page to see if it has what you want, deciding that it doesn't, backing up to try another link, deciding to try another way to phrase your request, et cetera. Eventually you may find what you want, or you may ultimately give up and decide that you can't find it. Why is this so difficult?

Finding Your Place

Finding Your Place 06/24/2005 08:39 PM

Common Dreams recently published an article by Huck Gutman, a man who had the opportunity to spend a week in New York City. While he partook of the usual visitor experiences in the city, what struck him most was this brief experience watching a man in a laundry through the store window: As I walked, I passed a dry cleaner’s shop. At its front, immediately behind a large plate glass window, was a man ironing a shirt. I stopped and watched. (I should mention that I like ironing my own shirts. In America, ironed shirts are an expensive luxury unless one does it oneself; and I have found that the repetitive motions of ironing, and the concentration required to assure that one irons wrinkles out and not in, is a restful activity. For me.) He ironed, and I watched. And watched. He ironed one shirt, then a second. There was a defined progression for each shirt. First, he sprayed the shirt lightly with water to dampen it. Then, as he ironed each successive portion of the shirt he sprayed on a light dose of starch to make the fabric stiffer. He proceeded to iron the collar, then carefully laid out each sleeve and ironed them, one at a time. Then he starched and ironed one half of the shirt, placed flat on his white-cotton clad ironing table. When he was done, he lightly touched the iron to the middle of the collar at the back of the neck — just a small crease so it would fold properly. He hung the shirt on a hanger, and proceeded to the next. I, an amateur, iron quickly. He, a professional, did not. He took care, making certain that each sweep of the iron made a flat expanse of brilliant white fabric. There is something almost primeval about this recognition of the importance of doing a job with excellence. As I mentioned in my article two years ago, It's What I Do, doing something extraordinarily well is more than just a matter of pride. It essentially defines us. We are all inherently social creatures, and our sense of belonging to the communities which we adopt, and which adopt us, is caught up in, and expresses itself through, our role, our specialization. Even in the earliest tribal cultures individuals recognized other individuals' strengths, experiences and talents, and this recognition refined and defined each individual's role, and importance, in the community. These skills, these differences, established one's position, one's membership, in the community. Doing what we are, what we enjoy doing, and what we do well, is essential to our self-esteem, so it is not surprising that it is naturally selected for. A Lakota leader defines 'mastery' -- the need to build on personal competence -- as one of the four 'capacities' of 'the circle of courage' that gives each of us heart, self-confidence, and spirit. What is it that determines this special role, whether it be ironing, running, painting or writing or giving care to others? It is, I think, a product of four things: our natural talents -- things we inherently find easy to do well, our learnings and experience -- which come from study, but more importantly from practice, our passion -- the desire and focus and dedication to excel at doing this one thing, and our audience -- the degree to which this role is needed, appreciated, respected and encouraged. The search for one's personal role, our place in community, is often a lifelong quest. Today, when it is so easy to be anonymous or left alone, and in which we move from community to community often, the fourth element -- our audience -- can be the hardest to achieve. When we have no audience, when we do not know where we belong, we are left to choose what we will do in abstraction. As a result, many of us devote large parts of our lives to study and diligent work only to find we have no audience, and that no matter how great we see our own talent and acquired skill, it was all wasted time. The task is much easier when we find our audience, the community with the need for what we can do, first. In this respect we are all entrepreneurs at heart. We are all seeking to find something that is needed, and for which we have talent and passion, and the rest is just hard work. Or rather, it isn't hard work, because our passion, our natural talent, and the recognition of its value by our community makes it easy work, obvious and important. As we learn, lifelong, to do it well and then exceptionally well, we are merely following our heart, our destiny. The characters depicted in the vidcap above, from Aaron Sorkin's comedy Sports Night, have found, in journalism, the intersection of talent, experience, passion and audience. That's why they can, and do, say That's What I Do, That's Who I Am. How many of us, in the real world, can say the same, without a sigh, a doubt, a frown?

Mozilla incentivives bug finding

Mozilla incentivives bug finding 08/02/2004 12:23 PM
Mozilla have announced a program to aid the discovery of potentially damaging security bugs in their suite of programs. Backed by Linspire, maker of Lindows and a major open source backer, and Internet entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth. Shuttleworth, founder of Thawte, has previously (and still does) offered cash rewards for creation of software / fixes / features in open source projects.

"Identifying software security vulnerabilities requires constant vigilance, and preventing those issues from becoming problems necessitates a dedicated effort to provide quick and effective responses. The Mozilla project has developed a community of users and developers who are passionate about computer security and who continuously provide feedback on Mozilla software. The Mozilla Security Bug Bounty Program seeks to further encourage the community's focus on security consciousness and responsiveness."

Mozilla hope to use the program to stay one step ahead of vulnerabilities.

Asides from proving the foundations ability to grab internet headlines, Mozilla seem very adept at pushing the open source model to the max. With ever growing corporate backing, financial rewards to help programmers look for more damaging security bugs will increase reliability and it's credibility as a competitor to IE (if you doubt/ed it).

Finding aids are inventories, indexes, or guides that are created by archival and manuscript repositories to provide information about specific collections. While the finding aids may vary somewhat in style, their common purpose is to provide detailed description of the content and intellectual organization of collections. The Yale Finding Aid database currently contains EAD-encoded files as well as other types of listings that the contributing libraries have chosen not to encode in EAD. New finding aid files, and updates to existing files, are added to the Finding Aid Database monthly. For current holdings, and for the most recent update information, see Database Content Summary. This will be added to Academic Resources 2004-05 Internet MiniGuide.
