Forse qualcuno sa già che il 17 e 18 Novembre il nostro Dipartimento ospiterà Eclipse-IT 2008: 3rd Italian Workshop on Eclipse Technologies.
Magari qualcuno non sa che ci sarà una sezione dedicata a plugin e applicazioni sviluppate da studenti. Se volete saperne di più leggete il Call for Demo. I lavori presentati saranno premiati con la partecipazione gratuita a tutte le attività del workshoop, cena inclusa. E’ previsto anche un premio. La scadenza per la sottomissione delle proposte di demo è il 14 ottobre.

First Monday is one of the first free, openly accessible, peer–reviewed journals on the Internet, solely devoted to the Internet.

First Monday pubblica articoli molto interessanti e spesso utili. Un esempio: Key differences between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 by Graham Cormode, Balachander Krishnamurthy.
Enjoy it.

Chi ha seguito quest’anno il corso di Sistemi per la Collaborazione in Rete ha già avuto modo di scoprire i sistemi di collaborative tagging e Trac.
Forse però non conoscete TagsPlugin, un plugin di Trac per aggiungere liberamente metadati alle pagine wiki e ai ticket.

… Trac Hacks itself makes extensive use of tagging and is a good example of their use. Also, see http://lists.edgewall.com/archive/trac/2006-April/007646.html for an example of how Alec uses ListTagged to query tickets.
