The Server

The DeepaMehta Server will hopefully be online very soon. The formalities are clear now but there’s a lot work to do for the newthinking team and we don’t have that a high priority in their current timetable, which is understandable but actively restraining access for some interested people, who wants to inform themselves about deepamehta framework. I uploaded the Article “Another computer is possible” into the wiki for making it available again. It is the latest publication about DeepaMehta.

The Introduction Event

At the last “Introduction Evening” there was a small meeting, cause leck of visitors. Some supporting voices for a possible foundation sat in and we spoke about short time goals. Here are some of those,

Good news is, that Jörg will try to publish the final release within september, you are invited for the last testing round explicitly, :) This should be celebrated with a nice release party and this would be the basement for some next step like a possible community mailing to all our users who wrote to us, cause they want to use deepamehta in their current work.

Also the restyled KiezAtlas was delivered for the Berlin Project goareas. Thilo proposed to write a KiezAtlas “User Case Study”.

We thought to open up the really traditional “introduction event” (where i also joined the community) from a moderate one, to something like a “regulars”-table.

One of the next informal meetings will take place in september at the TU in the Atomic Cafe and a possible developer meeting about some web service questions in the same weeks, feel free to join.

Nice greetings!

And thanks to Urs, pointing me out the very low-cost multi-touch pointing interface with a wii controller. Jakob has already a java port of a wiimote-lib running with opengl i will stick to him for introduction. 40 euros for the controller and one self made led-pointer should be sufficient. Wow,that amazed me nearly as much as flowmenu’s from winograd et al.
