Remember 'Palladium'? Microsoft's combined hardware/software solution for tightening Windows security, that later became known as "Next Generation Secure Computing Base" (NGSCB)? Microsoft has reworked its plan for the technology and is planning to deliver the first pieces of it in the Longhorn preview release that it will distribute to hardware and software vendors who attend the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference later this month.

This is an excellent read as I think about Drupal's role within social software... After years of study, I found this blog from Matt Webb most interesting, and actually very accurate. Enjoy reading.

From the blog:

"We need mechanisms in the online software to bring in a similar incentive structure to the offline world. The single most useful piece of thinking I've been using is Stewart Butterfield's March 2003 post on the devices in social software, mechanisms successful pieces of social software tend to have.

Identity
Presence
Relationships
Conversations
Groups
Reputation
Sharing
I'll describe each of these, as I see them, critiquing AOL Instant Messanger (just as an exmaple), and then describe how we put them into use.

Identity | Your identity is shown by a screenname, which remains persistent through time. There are incentives not to change this, like having your list of friends stored on the server and only accessible through your screenname. This acts as a pressure to not change identity. Having a persistent identity is more important than having one brought in from the physical world.


Presence | Presence is awareness of sharing the same space, and this is implemented as seeing when your friends are online, or busy. AIM isn't particularly good at group presence and visibility of communication, although other chat systems (such as IRC and early Talkers) use the concept of "rooms" and whispers.

Relationships | AIM lets you add people as buddies. From that moment, their presence is visible on your screen. This is a relationship, you're allowed them to have an effect on your environment. Not terribly nuanced however.

Conversations | Conversations are implemented as synchronous messaging. There's a difference between messaging and conversations. Messaging is just an exchange of text with no obligation, but conversations have their own presence and want to be continued. AIM does this by having a window for a conversation. It's difficult to drift out of it, it hangs there, requesting you continue. Contrast this with email which often is just messaging, and conversations die easily.

Groups | AIM isn't great at groups. Although you can have group chats, the group is transient. People have more loyalty to a group when there's some kind of joining step, when they've made some investment in it. Entering a window just doesn't do that, and there's no property of the group that exists outside the individual user's accounts.

Reputation | Reputation is used more in systems which allow meeting new individuals. AIM's simple version of this is "warning". Any user may "warn" any other user. A users total "warn" level (a figure up to 100) is shown to everyone they communicate with. Unfortunately, it's not a trustworthy reputation system, and reputation is notoriously difficult -- but humans are great at dealing with it themselves, given certain affordances: persistence identities, and being able to discuss those identities with other people. AIM's simplistic relationship system makes reputation not so important though.

Sharing | People like to share. With AIM, sharing is often as simple as giving a friend a link to follow. Other systems, such as Flikr, are about sharing photographs. These act as small transactions that build genuine group feeling."

Curious what our Drupal development community thinks about these 7 components (as pivotal/needed) to the Drupal project. Thoughts/discussion? Thanks. [MapTheWay]

SCO sends IBM 1,000,000 pieces of paper

SCO sends IBM 1,000,000 pieces of paper 12/10/2003 10:17 PM
As part of a court order to provide IBM with evidence relating to SCO's frivolous anti-Linux lawsuit, SCO sent IBM one million sheets of paper on which were printed the source-code that SCO alleges is being infringed upon. Of course, this is just a tactic to sabotage IBM's defense, since it needs all that code in a machine-readable format.

"Knowing full well that IBM would need its source code in electronic form so that proper analyses--such as those SCO itself claims to have performed--could be conducted, SCO instead produced the source code on one million sheets of paper," IBM said in the motion. "The only reason for SCO's production of code on paper was, we believe, to stall the progress of these proceedings while giving the (false) impression of being forthcoming in its discovery responses."

In response to IBM's complaint, Stowell said, "If a company wants code, it's the other party's decision to provide that any way they feel like providing that."

Putting the pieces back together, slowly

Putting the pieces back together, slowly 01/02/2005 04:41 AM
It's been a long strange trip since the election, and I haven't felt much like writing, and recent developments in my life haven't left me much time to write, hence the two month silence. I worked in campaign mode for the month leading up to the election, as part of a fabulous team that Dan Robinson and Henri Poole of CivicActions put together to do online support of Get Out The Vote efforts using AdvoKit! While we had our ups and downs, the biggest down of course being the election results, it was a great experience. I helped build sites like Rock the Vote, Vote All Your Values, Voter Call, and I supported some great kids on Zephyr Teachout's Baobabs Teams in their use of AdvoKit! I was putting in 16 to 20 hour days doing everything from project management to Apache configuration to writing documentation for AdvoKit, and I loved it. It was at least moderately effective as well, 15,000 people registered to use our sites and they recorded more than 110,000 phone calls to newly registered voters in battleground states, which research shows should add up to at least 11,000 additional voters going to the polls and voting against Bush. Of course, it wasn't enough. In spite of massive efforts by groups on the left, we were out-organized by the Republican GOTV operation, as detailed in a recent Washington Post article, and the American people elected as president of the United States a man who condones torture, is borrowing money in our children's name to fund tax breaks for his friends and war on his father's enemies, and who is raping the environment. As you may be able to tell, I took the election hard, which was another reason not to write. Many of my thoughts I am just as happy not to have preserved for posterity. I found consolation in the support of my wonderful family, including a beautifully written note from my conservative father (and Bush 41 government appointee) thanking me and my sister for our efforts to defeat George W. Bush, in the great friends I made working with CivicActions, and the fact that I can at least say, I did my best to elect John Kerry as president of the United States. But great as they are, the consolations make a thin bowl of gruel to subsist on during 4 more years of...
