In this webinAAR, you will hear from three faculty who have incorporated Wikipedia editing into their pedagogy. During this roundtable session, faculty discuss why they decided to adopt the Wikipedia assignment and how it has affected their teaching.

VERO – eine Alternative zu Instagram?
Ein bisschen Geschichte VERO (früher auch mit dem Zusatz "True Social") wurde offiziell im Jahr 2015 der Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt, blieb aber eigentlich eher ein Netzwerk für einige bestimmte Nischen, wie Cosplay, Makeup- und Tattoo-Künstler und Skateboarder. Damals wusste ich auch noch gar nichts davon. Entdeckt habe ich VERO im Jahr 2018, bei der ersten Popularitätswelle....

Selling More Than The Drama
A new Commodore device hit pre-orders this week after weeks of rumors. But retro is nothing if not its irrational haters.

Viele gute Gründe für das Fediverse
"Die vor uns stehenden Umwälzungen der digitalen Transformation sind von historischer Dimension. Sie sind in ihrer Bedeutung vergleichbar mit den Veränderungen im Zeitalter der Aufklärung, die die Grundlage für die Menschenrechte und ein friedlich vereintes Europa legten." Mario Birkholz sieht die Hochschulen in der Pflicht, ihre digitale Kommunikation mit den Anfoderungen des demokratischen Gemeinwesens in...

How to source and use expert knowledge for your work
One of the most effective ways to grow as a developer is by tapping into the vast pool of knowledge available in the developer community.
Don't Work For Projects That Don't Have Open Governance
I'm going to weigh in on the Redis thing.
Regrets of a Technical Communicator
I like to joke that I got into developer relations because I was the rare programmer that could carry on a conversation for more than five minutes. Like all good jokes, its mostly true -- I think one of the foundational abilities of the role is a strong ability to translate highly specific and nuanced technical concepts into something that's broadly consumable by other technologists or a general audience. I've noticed a worrying trend over the past couple of years about technical communication, however. In short, the gap between what people need to understand and what's being communicated to them has never been larger.
Lessons Learned from Learning OpenTelemetry
I'm knee-deep in production for Learning OpenTelemetry, releasing in just over a month. This is my second book, so I figured it was a good time to sit down and write up a couple of things I learned while writing this one, if only so when the writing bug gets me again in a year or so I can look back at this post and ask myself if it was really worth it.
Selling The Vision
OpenTelemetry can be a difficult project to describe to people, because the gap between what it is today and what it will be tomorrow is very large. It's easy to stare at it from a distance, squint your eyes, and wonder what the hell we're doing over here. The further away you are from the core contributors, maintainers, and weird little observability guys at the center of it all, the harder it is for things to come into focus. There's a few reasons for that, one of which is that I truly think that it isn't a completely shared vision (and that's ok, for reasons I'll get into) -- but the biggest is that the vision really is just that. A vision, one that is going to take years to realize. That vision is what should excite people, but because we're not great at selling it or even describing it, it winds up turning people away.
Learning is an infinite game
As a founder, you're going to need to learn new skills quickly and efficiently. Keeping your skill for learning sharp is a critical skill, and should can be practiced like any other skill.
Takeaways from VidCon's creator track
Last week, I went to VidCon in Anaheim, California. It was my first time as a creator at the event. Here are my three takeaways from the conference.
Virtual Events Are Dead, Long Live Virtual Events
By any scientific metric, the risk of COVID-19 infection is greater than it's ever been, while mitigation efforts have regressed to a shrugging emoji. Being offered an alcohol wipe by a smiling, unmasked flight attendant before spending hours breathing other people’s air in a narrow metal tube is panglossian, to say the least.
Deserted Island DevOps Postmortem
In my experience, it’s the ideas that you don’t expect to work that really take off. When I registered a domain name a month ago for Deserted Island DevOps, I can say pretty confidently that I didn’t expect it to turn into an event with over 8500 viewers. Now that we’re on the other side of it, I figured I should write the story about how it came to be, how I produced it, and talk about some things that went well and some things we could have done better.
We're Running Out of Widgets
What do Barnes & Noble, Radio Shack, and Blockbuster have in common? Simple: Their flawed business models relied on selling physical objects in stores.
404: specification not found
(Kleiner Nachtrag zu der "OAuth ist tot" Kolumne in der SCREENGUIDE Ausgabe 15 um zu zeigen, warum gerade das W3C auch für Community Formate durchaus nützlich sein kann) Vor ein paar Wochen kam eine E-Mail mit der Bitte, an einer Umfrage zu den W3C Community and Business Groups teilzunehmen und das hat mich daran erinnert,...
