“GLOBELICS is an international network of scholars dedicated to applying the concept of “learning, innovation, and competence building systems” as an analytical framework and promoting its use in the South. This year’s conference explored ways of building new technological bridges in South-South cooperation, [...] The conference took place from 4-7 October at the Centre for Development Studies, Trivandrum, in Kerala, India.”

“Il 4 Novembre in tutta Italia indiciamo manifestazioni e assemblee finalizzate ad usare coscientemente internet, alla difesa della privacy, all’implementazione gratuita del VOIP, a contrastare il TCG, e soprattutto alla promozione del software libero e delle tematiche ad esso correlate. In pratica tutte iniziative volte ad accrescere nella gente la consapevolezza dei propri diritti e la conoscenza degli strumenti che possono utilizzare, liberamente, per utilizzarli al meglio.
Hackaserta 81100 chiama ad Adunanza tutti i LUG, HackLab, collettivi e teste pensanti che intendono battersi per la diffusione della conoscenza digitale, per la difesa delle libertà digitali, e per uno scambio reale di idee in libera diffusione.“
L’associazione Il Secolo della Rete – for a free knowledge society, ha presentato ieri sera a Roma, nel corso dell’incontro “Libertà di cultura, libertà di ricerca”, la nuova rivista ISDR. Una vera e propria rivista cartacea, ma completamente disponibile anche on line, grazie all’utilizzo delle licenze Creative Commons (by-nc-sa, 2.0), ed aperta alle collaborazioni e alle proposte di chi riflette sulle grandi tematiche della società della conoscenza.
Taglio teorico, ma non specialistico, linguaggio comprensibile, ma non semplificato, il tutto mescolato in un impianto ibrido, dove all’articolo di taglio giornalistico si alterni il testo accademico, lo studio, la ricerca, magari l’inchiesta.
Obiettivo di questa nuova iniziativa editoriale è, infatti, quello di fornire strumenti per un programma politico basato sulla libera conoscenza.
Questo primo numero è tutto dedicato alla ridefinizione del concetto di ”proprietà intellettuale” attualizzato in brevetti, marchio, copyright e segreto industriale, che ISDR offre di ripensare come ”Commons”.

Embedded Linux Consortium Transfers IP to OSDL
The Open Source Development Labs (OSDL), a global consortium dedicated to accelerating the adoption of Linux, has announced that the Embedded Linux Consortium (ELC), an industry consortium promoting the adoption of embedded Linux, will transfer the ELC Platform Specification (ELCPS) and related intellectual property to OSDL. The ELCPS represents five years of global development by leading vendors to define a platform for embedded developers. "Our first mission – gaining traction for Linux as an embedded operating system – has been achieved," said Dr. Inder Singh, ELC Chairman and CEO of LynuxWorks, an OSDL member company. "The market’s need for a Linux focal point is already being served by OSDL. By combining efforts with OSDL, our transfer accelerates market penetration. Embedded Linux is now more attractive than ever."
"OSDL is pleased to receive the ELCPS and its related IP," said Stuart Cohen, CEO of OSDL. As a part of OSDL’s mission, we look forward to finding ways to work more closely with the embedded Linux community. Making the ELCPS available on our Web site is a solid first step." The ELC’s standards mission, launched in early 2002, has focused on developers to build out a robust, multi-level specification. Under the agreement with OSDL, developers will be able to download the ELCPS from the OSDL Web site free of charge.
The ELC was formed in early 2000 as a vendor-neutral trade association dedicated to advancing the depth, breadth and speed of Linux adoption in the enormous embedded computer market. At peak, the ELC enjoyed more than 160 members including more than 110 large, medium and small corporations. The ELC offered membership at no cost to individual developers who demonstrated their participation in the open source code base of the Linux operating system.
OSDL is dedicated to accelerating the growth and adoption of Linux. Founded in 2000 by CA, Hitachi, HP, IBM, Intel and NEC, OSDL is a non-profit organization at the center of Linux supported by a global consortium of more than 60 of the world’s largest Linux customers and IT industry leaders.
IBM Contributes Open Source Code to Make FireFox More Accessible
IBM announced that it is contributing software to the Mozilla Foundation’s Firefox Web browser to make it easier for more users — including those with visual and motor impairments — to access and navigate the Web. In addition to contributing code that will make it possible for Web pages to be automatically narrated or magnified, and to be better navigated with keystrokes rather than mouse clicks, IBM is contributing Dynamic Hypertext Markup Language (DHTML) accessibility technology to the upcoming Firefox Version 1.5. This will allow software developers to build accessible and navigable "Rich Internet Applications" (RIAs) — a new class of applications that are particularly visual and interactive. DHTML will also allow users to efficiently navigate content more easily using keystrokes rather than a mouse. This is being done in support of ongoing work at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative, and as part of IBM’s commitment to open standards and open source.
