Good of the process

The best
part of the REALNEO project to date is working much more intimately with open
source projects and leaders, and the personal freedom and insight that offers
me. Anyone in NEO who gets involved with REALNEO will share in this wonderful
experience of evolution, learning and empowerment – those left behind are truly
deprived in important ways.

I’m very
impressed with the technologies we’re assembling, and I’m enjoying getting off
legacy, proprietary systems as fast as possible. We’re running on Linux, and
Apache, and my SQL, and PHP, browsing in Firefox. We’re using Drupal and
starting to work with a half dozen other great projects that are making IT
better for the world, and the world better for all people – this is where Earth
is being reengineered by the next generation. And no Microsoft anywhere… no cost
anywhere, yet …I’ll pay Bryght and others for enhancements along the way, but that is
really a contribution to a greater cause.

Drupal Developers challenge usability expert

Submitted by Norm Roulet on Fri, 10/08/2004 - 03:28.

The following message and links really drive home the beauty of open source, and the exciting dynamics of the Drupal community – the open source project we’re using as the CMS - content management system – at the core of the REALNEO community.

You’ll see that a computer user experience expert posted a criticism of all CMS systems and the Drupal community responded with a real open source challenge – Drupal developers offer to volunteer dozens of free hours of effort to fix anything this expert identifies as usability issues with Drupal – and all this free effort will make Drupal better for us. We are at the heart of this vibrant community, as one of the developers involved in this challenge is working on our project for Bryght. All this insight building is happening in the public space at the links below!

Thoughts on Election - Cynicism and Politics Have Always Been Linked

Submitted by Kevin Cronin on Fri, 01/09/2004 - 09:53.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." H.L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
