Drupalcamp Atlanta 2010 Registration is Open!
Drupalcamp Atlanta 2010 (www.drupalcampatlanta.com) is now open for registration, and will be held on Saturday, October 2nd from 8am – 5pm at the Georgia Tech Research Institute. Our mission and purpose is twofold: (1.) we want to educate people about Drupal and (2.) further evangelize Drupal within our geographic region. The 2nd annual Drupalcamp Atlanta is an attendee driven, completely volunteer initiative modeled after the open, participatory nature of barcamps. We are offering four tracks this year: (1.) Drupal for Beginners (2.) Design, Theming, and Usability (3.) Development and Performance and (4.) Drupal for Business and Services. If you are new to Drupal we definitely want you to come – in fact, during registration we have carved out space and time for a “Drupal Installfest” before the sessions start.

FET Free Educational Timetabling Software
Scheduling or time-tabling software -- the name changes according to where in the world you grew up -- is the poster-child example of garbage in, garbage out. No software application is going to make up for insufficient or disorganized information. The process matters, too: As in life, you must be ready to say what you need right at the start and, subsequently, to ask for what you want at well-chosen moments.
I had the opportunity to use FET ("Free Educational Timetabler") version 5.11 on Ubuntu 10.04* recently and found that it is not only powerful, but backed up by an active on-line forum which I found responsive and creative with suggestions. FET's author, Liviu Lalescu of Romania, takes an active part, often leading the responses. Other users give clarifying advice, though, which elevates FET to that difficult-to-achieve status of a genuine FLossEd community project in my mind.
FET Free Educational Timetabling Software
"FET is open source free software for automatically scheduling the timetable of a school, high-school or university. It uses a fast and efficient timetabling algorithm. It is licensed under GNU GPL."
"Usually, FET is able to solve a complicated timetable in maximum 5-20 minutes. For simpler timetables, it may take a shorter time, under 5 minutes (in some cases, a matter of seconds). For extremely difficult timetables, it may take a longer time, a matter of hours."

Barcamp Bangkok 4 Oct 23-24 at Sripatum University
From: JFXBerns on [Barcamp Thailand]
Barcamp Bangkok 4 is confirmed for Sat/Sun October 23-24. We have 10 weeks to organize it--which is plenty of time if people are organized and efficient. We have a great reputation, a n awesome venue, we should have a many sponsors and a decent budget, the only thing that can make Barcamp fail is if we, the organizers fail to get things done.

Marketing through the Use of Packaging Boxes
Whatever the companies manufacture or produce is shipped in packaging boxes. These are as necessary as any other item in the production process. They help in transporting the finished products from one place to another. In fact, even the unfinished products or parts are also sent through them. These boxes are quite good in performing their basic function. They can pack a product neatly and can serve the needs of carrier services effectively.

Eight Use-Examples of Open Atrium Adapted for Schools
Like many of you, I have been burning the midnight oil learning how the revolution called Open Atrium 1 works under the hood. In the end, it is hard to out-do its makers for elegance, so rather than rolling a new edition of Drupal 2, building on the great work in Open Atrium seems to be a smart move.
So, the challenge is not so much technical as social: how can we adapt it to work in a school? I suggest envisioning the typical uses. So, here we go:
It starts from the top in schools, so our hypothetical "head" of school will show us how to post the news -- to everyone.
After logging-in and looking over what's been posted lately, he finally goes to the "create content" button and posts his school-wide news.

P2PU's School of Webcraft
From: http://www.drumbeat.org/p2pu-webcraft/about
"Mozilla and Peer 2 Peer University are creating the P2PU School of Webcraft, a powerful new way to teach and learn web developer skills. Our classes are globally accessible, 100% free, and powered entirely by learners, mentors and contributors like you. Our goal: create a vibrant, peer-led system that helps people around the world easily access and build careers on open web technology."
Open, Fine-Grained Certification"Today's best developers draw on a broad mix of tools and platforms to learn, create, and innovate. Many certificate courses focus on a single proprietary technology, limiting students' exposure to the broad mix of tools today's developers need. This causes skill silos and student lock-in, hindering developers' abilities to implement optimal solutions, and the ability of those solutions to improve the field more broadly. Four-year programs can be out of reach for many, and emphasize rigid curricula that are not designed to keep pace with new developments in the field.
