Cope with Complexity a community notebook on the deepamehta software platform

Intrepid Ibex Release Party with DeepaMehta, starting at 6pm.

Jörg was asked by Clemens, if he would like to contribute a short Session about the DeepaMehta Semantic Desktop Vision on upcoming Saturday, 1st November at the c-base. I will be there, too. We thought of finalizing our release too. Since a long time i also want to provide some Drag & Drop Flavours from Ubuntu cause i really want that feature working with my local installation. So check out the wiki for more, there will be also some news about the new KiezAtlas coming soon. Yesterday i produced three Screencasts which try to show the Workflow of a Kiez-Administratar while brainstorming new Scenarios and GIS-Layers, pretty cool “Visual Programming” in KiezAtlas 1.6.2

By the way, i am in love with pointing out so: If someone would like to extract the ShapeTopics out of the KiezAtlas Project into a custom DeepaMehta Application for drawing new Topic Visualizations right in the current Client, i would prepare a perfect dinner for him with “all inclusive” drinks.

About the Wiki & First Screencast

We choosed a new Welcome Page for our wiki and started to prepare the next user meeting at TU berlin. For this evening i tried to give a short introduction about the different types of topicmaps which represent three types of working context in deepamehta.

About the future of the Addon: LaTexTopic

The sources for the custom implementations for the LateX Topics are on their wiki page. The problem with an exec started from java in it’s own thread remains as long as their are three files involved in making a png icon for dm. I think enrico mentioned another tool at the last community meeting which directly converts a tex file into png, in my map i found a tool named tex2im. I will give it a try cause this would enhance the usability of the current LateX Topic, very much.

Feel free to contribute some points on our agenda for the next meeting at 22 or 29.10 in the atomic cafe.
