If you do not know what is about, is a marketing event from Microsoft.
Why did I attend?
This time I was curious to see how convergence and competition are shaping the market.
Read the minutes, make up your mind, and maybe you will have ideas on how to apply some of the concepts from this conference.
The main ideas? Approaches about how people interact with technology.
No, not on software development- on other business and non-business activities.
This post is announce about an announce.
But if you do not care about my multilingual experiment, and want just to apply it to your own web-writing, be it personal or professional, go here.
First, when I wrote on August 5th that Multilingual online publishing – part 2 that from August 16th the posts would have been “GoogleTranslate Ready”- I lied.
On August 2nd, upon request from some Eastern European online friends in my “virtual village” (1100+ people scattered worldwide), I published a first example of my new Russian handwriting skills.
The lie? Because, from July 30th, I started a weekly multilingual blogging exercise (see at the bottom of this post for the list as of 2009-08-16).
Using GoogleTranslate.
I just wanted to share with all those that I am supporting (or preparing to support) pro-bono another step in my plan that could, maybe, become useful in the future to our common activities
my purpose? I found wasteful and boring to repeat what I already did; it is much more interesting and useful to create something new, or use a framework to build new ideas and services
but that is, in the end, the OpenSource spirit 
more democratic than most of our other form of cooperation 
The visible title of this section is “Genome and brain mapping”.
The link is named “cathedrals”.
It is not a criticism: it is a realistic assessment.
Beside the human genome and brain mapping, this section will discuss also how these and other mapping initiatives could affect not just science and medicine, but our everyday life.
This post is part of a series, first published in May 2009.
This blog, beside being a personal blog, is a commentary on technology & politics.
If you follow my blog here or on draugiem.lv, you know that since February, when I started publishing online this blog, I publish here more “business-oriented” items.
But I publish first on my other publishing venue items that, beside containing containing something more about “how” I did come to develop certain ideas or approaches; only when at least 40 readers visited a post there, appeared here.
Today, a “mirror image publishing” to simplify accessing only the business-oriented posts.
