plans about StatusNet

Hello,

identi.ca is changing its software from StatusNet to pump.io soon 

Since you are mentioned here (1): 
What are the plans of the GNU social team to continue StatusNet ?
 
gnu-social has last commit: 2011-03-27 (2)
 
(1) 2013-03-27: StatusNet, Identi.ca, and transitioning to pump.io
 

Sincerely,

first time user: can not get it to work

Hello,


I've checked out the gnu-social today

after installer (Statusnet) went through successfully: 
it pointed me to: mydomain/gnu-social
which redirected to: gnu-social/main/login
and here I got: Internal Server Error

I looked in the dir but no such dir available

then I poked a little and saw the theme dir:
gnu-social/theme/gnusocial/
but the links there go to e.g.: http://lorrainelee.co.uk/main/login

The bug tracker does not work: http://bugs.foocorp.net/social -> Page not found 
so I do not know what is the status on this project?

Before I continue: 
can someone tell me, if he recently installed this succesfully?

Erkan

LibrePlanet 2011 conference registration is now open

I'm pleased to announce that LibrePlanet 2011 conference registration is
now open. The principals of Foo Communications -- myself and Rob Myers
-- will be there all weekend to answer your questions about GNU social.

LibrePlanet 2011 will be a one-day conference on Saturday, March 19th
2011 at Bunker Hill Community College, in Boston, MA.

If you're coming in for the weekend, we have plans for Friday and Sunday
as well, although these are informal.

We are planning something very special for LibrePlanet 2012, and so in
order to scale back our planning efforts to prepare for that event, we
have decided to focus on our core conference this year.

This event is open to our associate members, who can attend for free,
and to members of the public who can either join as an associate member,
or pay $60 to attend (the equivalent of our student level associate
membership rate).

We are pleased to tell you that the venue is ADA compliant and easily
accessible.

## More information and registration:

the applications layer

As I understand it, Facebook exploits semi-open information in a
semi-centralized way.  Instead of the Applications layer being
something that people can really socialize about, it only supports a
closed, firm-like, collaboration at that layer.  I hope that Diaspora*
et al. will support "social apps" that aren't just miniature corporate
themeparks, but which instead correspond to real "grassroots social
organizing".  How might that work?

Some analogies:  this might be like adding a "problems" layer on top
of PlanetMath's mathematics encyclopedia, or like adding a radio drama
layer on top of the collection of sounds at Freesound.org, or like
adding a literary discussion layer on top of the collection of public
domain texts at Project Gutenberg.

Indeed, maybe these aren't just analogies, but could themselves become
"applications".

Grant for Software Development

The National Science Foundation is offering a software development grant 
related to "network software to support distributed software, software 
in the form of middleware capabilities and services, and cybersecurity" 
among other things and  "for facilitating research and education 
collaborations through sharing of data, instruments, and computing and 
storage resources. The program requires open source software development."
http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2011/nsf11504/nsf11504.htm

The 2011 proposal deadline is January 30th.
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5174

There is $8,800,000 available through this grant opportunity.

Is anybody interested in collaborating on a proposal for this grant?

Philosophy and the Social Web

Hi, 

At the first Web and Philosophy [1] conference that took place in  Paris a little over 
a week  ago. I presented  "Philosophy and the Social Web" which is online now in english. 
The presentation comes with audio and notes, and is very detailed. It covers the social 
networking problem, web architecture, REST,  Reference and the Semantic Web, issues  
in the  Philosophy of Language and of Mind.  These may seem a bit abstruse, but they 
are really written from an engineers perspective who wishes to build the Social Web.

 http://www.slideshare.net/bblfish/philosophy-and-the-social-web-5583083

For those who are interested in getting a view of how engineering and philosophy
touch, are interested in an overview of the semantic web or linked data, or yet another
view of the WebID protocol, this should be interesting.

Hello from Turkey

Hello Dear Friends,

Turkish Linux Users Association (LKD) [1] has created a microblogging site, named Tuxweet [2] on June 2010. At he beginning we decided to use Sharetronix/Blogtronix for some reasons, including it to seem being some kind of Open and Free software. At some point they altered their such licence and we begin to look for another software - a Free and a nice one! We made some searches and made some demo installations. During this process, about three weeks ago, I've visited Freenode #statusnet and #social. A friend with the nickname "mattl" (Matt Lee that was you, right?) helped me by answering my questions, mainly on the relation between Status.net and GNU Social.

Now we decided that GNU Social is OK for us. We'll be more than pleased to become a part a software community which is deeply devoted to Free Software movement. And, if to be frank, we liked the features of the software as well.

Now we are installing GNU Social to our server as a testing step as well, but this is something more than a demo install. We'll try to create the actual Tuxweet conditions, see what we should do for localisation, tests against some possible bugs and we'll migrate.

I'm one of the admins of Tuxweet [3] but I'm not on the "technical side"; I don't know how to code. Most probably I will deal with the Turkish localisation. Our friends in charge of the code -for sure- join the community and I believe that they will have questions and -probably- wishes and -hopefully- contributions. (By the way, is that other list which is said to be a moderated one, for developers or -lets say- for technical staff?)

In this first post I just wanted to say hello and inform you about the situation. Now I'll read the archive to know you better and to see how can I contribute to the collective effort, if I can do in some way.

Best regards,

K. Deniz Ogut
Istanbul, Turkey
