BossaIntro - BOINC - Trac Bossa is an open-source software framework for distributed thinking - the use of volunteers on the Internet to perform tasks that use human cognition, knowledge, or intelligence. Bossa minimizes the effort of creating and operating a distributed thinking project. It provides a project web site, hosted on your Linux server, where volunteers go to perform tasks and to interact with other volunteers. All you need to supply are PHP scripts to generate, show, and handle tasks. Bossa helps you deal with the variance of volunteer skill. Typically you'll want train volunteers; this can be done using Bolt, a framework for web-based training that integrates with Bossa. For more information, contact David Anderson.

Techdirt. Glyn Moody’s Techdirt Profile Posted on Techdirt - 22 April 2014 @ 10:05am from the seriously-losing-it dept As we've been reporting for nearly a year now, the Turkish prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, really hates Twitter. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made an application to the Constitutional Court on April 18 over the failure to implement court rulings requesting the removal of content violating his rights, according to a senior official from his office. Those domestic remedies include filing a lawsuit against Twitter, which naturally seems to be trying to avoid that: on April 14, its head of global public policy held talks with officials from the prime minister's office, the Communications Ministry and telecom authorities. Twitter blocked two accounts on Sunday that had been used to spread corruption allegations against Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, his government and his inner circle.
