Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) just keeps invading new territories, and its latest
target is your computer's operating system. It's officially released the
open source code for its Chrome OS, an operating system that will turn up
in third-party vendors' netbooks. Those devices should start selling next
year.

With Chrome, Google takes a very different approach than major OSes like
Windows, Mac OS, or even most Linux distributions. It's sort of like what
would happen if an Ubuntu mated with a Firefox. It's basically a browser
that does not run on an operating system -- it is an operating system. All
its apps are Web apps, and all the data you save using it is stored in the
cloud, in a state of statelessness, as Google puts it. Very little data is
actually saved on the computer's hard drive.

The advantage, as Google describes it, is that boot-up times are extremely
quick. Security is also easier to handle. If you aren't hosting any data
yourself, you also aren't hosting any malware. Finally, if someone steals
your Chrome netbook, and your password is nice and safe, then you'll be
able to reclaim all your data and settings simply by signing on to another
Chrome netbook -- which you'll have to buy, of course, but some data's
worth more than a few hundred bucks.

ANOTHER GOA: http://tiny.cc/anothergoa

On the 40th anniversary of what is widely regarded as the origin of the
internet, Professor Peter Willetts asks: 'Who really created the
internet?'


Peter Willetts will argue the Internet was established by the pioneering
work of  peace, human rights and environmental non- governmental
organisations (NGOs) in the 1980s.

November 2009 is being widely celebrated as the 40th anniversary of the
birth of the Internet, when three computers at different American
universities were linked together. However, this Pentagon-funded project,
ARPANET, only made minor contributions to the technology of the Internet.
The related story that the Internet was planned as an American military
command and control system that could survive a nuclear attack is no more
than a colourful myth.

The defining aspect of the Internet is the provision of public and open
access for global communications. Pioneering computer experts working for
NGOs drove the innovation and created an open network. This was achieved
before the first web page was written.

Until NGOs intervened, there was no more than a disconnected set of
separate government and commercial networks. NGOs made the global
connections and gave us the revolution in public communications.

     Professor Peter Willetts is a Professor of Global Politics at the
Department of International Politics, School of Social Sciences, City
University London.

     Peter Willetts’ main research interests are in the area of
international organisations. He is a leading authority on the role of
NGOs in international diplomacy and has published two books on this
subject: Pressure Groups in the Global System and The Conscience of
the World: The Influence of Non-governmental Organisations in the UN
System. This lecture arises from research for a new textbook, NGOs in
Global Politics: The Construction of Global Governance.

Dear Telecentre Friends,

mMoney is a great opportunity to telecentres!

For long money movement in rural areas has been close to static. While
in the urban areas money is owned by many people and it can change
hands rapidly, in the rural areas very few people have money and it
mainly remains in the hands of those few who mainly purchase outside
the community e.g in urban markets... The problem is worsened by the
relatively waterproof geographical economies that can not easily allow
money flow from one economy to the other especially downwards e.g,
rural and urban (micro) and developed and developing countries (macro
economies) - this makes goods and service trade across economies very
hard. And indeed accounts as the main challenge of sustaining
telecentres as the purchasing power of the rural flocks merely shrinks
instead of swelling.

mWallet and its associated services address just this gap thus
unlocking new opportunities. But this may not just happen, the
telecentre movement will have to organize, incubate and nurture trade
relations with rural-urban and developing-developed countries that
improve quality output, goods and service mobility as supported by
mMoney systems.

There are already things that we can learn from especially Business
Process Outsourcing - BPO, online transcations, online education etc.
But the gaps that will remain the concern of the telecentre movement
will be in commodity trade where urban rural transportation will need
to be well thought out so that middlemen exploitation is completely
eliminated or minimised. Secondly, it is emergingly true that the
future is more uncertain about the applications of technology to
support the poor than the absence of the technology itself.

That said, telecentres of today and onwards, will emerge as Business
process linkage and support organs replacing or complementing the
roles of cooperatives and microbanks especially in the eyes of the
poor - they will become the gateways to rural development and improved
livelihoods.

And this forms the strategic focus of UgaBYTES for the year 2010/12.
Join the focus by making it your priority too or simply by becoming
partner in mind, in development... to those who have made it their
priority of work.


Help complete the cycle with positive feedback to whatever is good.



Best regards,

Greetings from the IGF,

Our ONI reception today at the IGF was rattled by IGF security, who objected
to a poster advertising "Access Controlled", the book to be introduced at
this event.
The poster was thrown on the floor and we were told to remove it because of
the reference to China and Tibet.  We refused, and security guards came and
removed it. The incident was witnessed by many.

The poster promoting ONI new forthcoming book "Access Controlled" was
removed by the IGF's organizers because a sentence in the poster violated
UN's policy. The sentence in question reads, "The first generation of
Internet controls consisted largely of building firewalls at key Internet
gateways; China's famous "Great Firewall of China" is one of the first
national Internet filtering systems."

"If we cannot discuss topics about Internet censorship and surveillance
policy at a forum about Internet governance then what is the point of
something like the IGF," said Ron Deibert Director of the Citizen Lab, Munk
Centre for International Studies,and one of ONI's principal investigators.

According to Ron Deibert of The Citizen Lab and Open Net Initiatives (ONI)
Principal, one of the organizers of the reception event, he will file a
complaint against the`censorship' of their event and send it to the United
Nations Human Rights Commission.

"We condemn this undemocratic act of censoring our event just because
someone is trying to impress or be in the good graces of the Chinese
government. It is ironic that while people are allowed to gather here to
discuss freedom of expression online, censorship and surveillance practices
on the Internet, we are being restricted in expressing our views," said Al
Alegre of the Foundation for Media Alternatives, a member of the ONI
Network.

We the members of ONI Network protest on this censorship at IGF, and ask the
question that What IGF is for, if we can not discuss Internet Governance
issues at this forum.

Best wishes and regards

Electronic Frontier Foundation Media Release

For Immediate Release: Friday, November 13, 2009

International Activists Launch New Website to Gather and
Share Copyright Knowledge

Anyone Can Track National Copyright Laws Globally with

San Francisco - The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF),
Electronic Information for Libraries (eIFL.net), and other
international copyright experts joined together today to
launch Copyright Watch -- a public website created to
centralize resources on national copyright laws at
www.copyright-watch.org.

"Copyright laws are changing across the world, and it's
hard to keep track of these changes, even for those whose
daily work is affected by them," said Teresa Hackett,
Program Manager at eIFL.net.  "A law that is passed in one
nation can quickly be taken up by others, bilateral trade
agreements, regional policy initiatives, or international
treaties.  With Copyright Watch, people can learn about the
similarities and differences in national copyright laws,
and they can use that information to more easily spot
patterns and emerging trends."

Copyright Watch is the first comprehensive and up-to-date
online repository of national copyright laws.  To find
links to national and regional copyright laws, users can
choose a continent or search using a country name.  The
site will be updated over time to include proposed
amendments to laws, as well as commentary and context from
national copyright experts.  Copyright Watch will help
document how legislators around the world are coping with
the challenges of new technology and new business models.

"Balanced and well-calibrated copyright laws are extremely
important in our global information society," said Gwen
Hinze, International Policy Director at EFF.  "Small shifts
in the balance between the rights of copyright owners and
the limitations and exceptions relied on by those who use
copyrighted content can destroy or enable business models,
criminalize or liberate free expression and everyday
behavior, and support the development of new technologies
that facilitate access to knowledge for all the world's
citizens.  We hope that Copyright Watch will encourage
comparative research and help to highlight more and less
flexible copyright regimes."

"Details of copyright law used to be important only for a
few people in creative industries," added Danny O'Brien,
International Outreach Coordinator at EFF.  "But now, with
the growth of the Internet and other digital tools, we are
all authors, publishers, and sharers of copyrighted works.
Copyright Watch was created so citizens of the world can
share and compare information about their countries' laws."

Funding to create Copyright Watch was generously provided
by the Open Society Institute.

About EFF

The Electronic Frontier Foundation is the leading civil
liberties organization working to protect rights in the
digital world. Founded in 1990, EFF actively encourages and
challenges industry and government to support free
expression and privacy online. EFF is a member-supported
organization and maintains one of the most linked-to
websites in the world at http://www.eff.org/

Copyright Watch

Copyright Watch collects and monitors copyright laws from all over the world.

http://www.copyright-watch.org/

The details of copyright law used to be important for only a few in the
creative industries. Now, with the growth of the Internet, we are all
authors, publishers, and sharers of copyrighted works.

Our dream was to build a user-friendly resource of national copyright laws
to help citizens of the world undertake comparative research. We wanted to
raise awareness of the importance of balanced copyright law in the
information society, and draw attention to points of commonality and of
difference in countries' laws and legal traditions. We also wanted to
create an information sharing resource, where copyright watchers could
post information about proposed amendments to their own copyright laws,
and understand the changes in others.

We hope that Copyright Watch will be a resource maintained and driven by
the Access to Knowledge community and that copyright monitors in each
country will help to keep this information up to date and relevant.

Finally, we hope that Copyright Watch will help document the importance of
copyright to all aspects of cultural life and human freedom. Balanced and
well-calibrated copyright laws are extremely important in our global
information society. The smallest shift in the legal balance between the
rights of copyright owners and users of copyrighted knowledge can destroy
or enable business models, criminalize or liberate everyday behaviour, and
transform or eradicate new technology. A law that is passed in one nation
can quickly be taken up by others, through bilateral trade agreements,
regional policy initiatives or international treaties. We all need to keep
watch.

Piwigo 2.0
http://piwigo.org/

Out of the vast universe of available photo gallery software packages,
Piwigo distinguishes itself with a snappy user interface and a set of
customizable features. Foremost among these features is a category "tree"
which lets users create photo categories that expand and flatten the tree
structure to view all the photos. Visitors can also set up user
permissions and also create rating tabs for each photo, or groups of
photos. This version is compatible with computers running Mac OS 10.3 or
newer or Windows 95 and newer.

Piwigo is a photo gallery software for the web that comes with powerful
features to publish and manage your collection of pictures.

Started in 2002, the project is now supported by an active community of
users and developers. It supports numerous galleries of all sizes all over
the world, from an individual ten-photos party to the images stock of an
agency. This scalability is supported by smart browsing capabilities based
on categories, tags and chronological search. Various extensions make
Piwigo even more scalable and customizable to suit your own needs and
desires.

Piwigo is both web and photo standard compliant. And, icing on the cake,
it is free and opensource.

Dear List Participants,

This is a query to determine if anyone on the list is aware of similar
projects to the one described below. I would like to touch base with
them to determine lessons learnt, etc., and hopefully avoid
re-inventing the wheel.

While the project described is Botswana-centric, suggestions of
similar projects in other parts of Africa (including Botswana, of
course), are welcome. Many thanks in advance for your response.

Project description -

"The aim is to undertake an action research project, to share
knowledge of HIV/Aids in rural Botswana, with the support of local
organisations, and overseas aid. AIDS sufferers will be surveyed
widely to understand what information they need. The ‘action’ will
involve the provision of free access to information about the means of
infection, and to create a free support service for those believing
they are subject to infection, or who have been infected. The
information will be spoken, verbal, in local languages"


Best,

Sriram

That's the learned opinion of an educator in this month's Educational Technology
Debate - an initiative of the World Bank & Unesco.  He feels we should abandon
evaluations of ICT in schools because they are warped & promoted via political
prejudices, not any kind of empirical data.

New York Times publishes 'crowd-funded' article
(AFP) – 1 day ago

WASHINGTON — The science section of The New York Times contained an
unusual article on Tuesday. The story about a huge floating garbage
patch in the Pacific Ocean was not written by a Times reporter but by
a freelance journalist whose expenses were paid by hundreds of donors
in an experiment in "crowd-funded" journalism.

The travel expenses for journalist Lindsey Hoshaw's trip were raised
through Spot.Us, which describes itself as a "nonprofit project to
pioneer 'community funded' reporting."

Spot.Us, according to its website, allows the public to "commission
investigations with tax deductible donations for important and perhaps
overlooked stories.

"It?s a marketplace where independent reporters, community members and
news organizations can come together and collaborate," it says.

The website lists 6,000 dollars in donations for the Pacific garbage
patch story from more than 100 people.

Among the listed donors are Web luminaries such as Craig Newmark, the
founder of classified site Craigslist, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales,
eBay founder Pierre Omidyar and others.

Spot.Us is a project of the Center for Media Change, a San
Francisco-based non-profit.

- - - - -

Spot.Us has been covered and talked about by traditional news
organizations like the New York Times, NPR and PBS as well as new media
giants like TechCrunch and Wired. Below is a sampling which should give
you sense of just how much attention Spot.Us is making for our innovative
approach to funding journalism.

Dear readers,

As you probably know, Bytesforall has opened up an 'ICT for health'
network at Ning (http://ictforhealth.ning.com/) to examine whether
ICTs can play any transformational role in the development, delivery
or management of health care services for the poorer of the society.
We plan to undertake some other research work from this network.

Therefore, we're looking for volunteer editors who can help us
organize the work, update the library, events calendar, post content
on related projects or development, invite experts/enthusiasts on the
area and build the network with new discussion, content and
activities. If you're interested to be a volunteer editor, please do send us
an email at: partha@... and join the network.

We look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes,

Dear Colleagues,

I wanted to share the link to my blog that specifically covers global
Internet governance: http://internetsgovernance.blogspot.com/

The motivation comes after repeated requests from friends and
colleagues to consolidate my comments related to IGF and now ICANN as
well as IG in general within a single space that is both accessible to
share comments.

Therefore, I will be collecting all my thoughts and comments from
participation within the IGF and ICANN meetings on a regular basis and
feel free to comment and share your own ideas thereof. Do follow my
comments from the IGF meeting in Sharam El-Sheikh and my endeavours on
IG at ICANN.
