Group Systems CURSO - Digital Citizenship HackDash: Uma plataforma gratuita para organizar projetos colaborativos O conceito por trás da plataforma digital HackDash é simples, mas poderoso: juntar pessoas a ideias e permitir saber em que estado está cada projeto. A ideia surgiu quando eu estava na correria organizando o Hacks/Hackers BA Media Party no ano passado. Por quê? Esses problemas são resolvidos com o HackDash, uma plataforma desenvolvida em colaboração com participantes do regulares Hacks/Hackers Buenos Aires. Como parte do meu projeto do Knight International Journalism Fellowship, estou ajudando a incentivar a sua adoção entre os inovadores da mídia global. O próprio HackDash é um exemplo de trabalho colaborativo. Poucos dias depois, alguém comprou o domínio hackdash.org e doou para a causa. Desde então, o dashboard foi usado em várias reuniões e promete tornar-se uma plataforma global para o trabalho colaborativo. Mariano Blejman, bolsista do Knight International Journalism Fellowship, é um editor e empreendedor especializado em jornalismo de dados..
The Hear Heres by Studio Weave The sounds of the countryside are amplified when you place your ear towards one of these four enormous trumpets built by architects Studio Weave (+ slideshow). Named The Hear Heres, the horns are dotted along a walk through the grounds of Kedleston Hall, a stately home in Derbyshire, England. One horn is pointed down towards the surface of a lake (above), while another angles up towards the sky (below). The third trumpet winds around the the trunk of a tree, so listeners can hear the movements of the branches (below). When describing the fourth and largest of the trumpets (below), Studio Weave's Maria Smith told Dezeen how "it's fun for two people to sing to each other from opposite ends." "We thought people would play and experiment with them," she said. Each trumpet is made from fibreglass and coated with zinc, and a set of metal struts holds each one in place. "The struts have metal plates welded to their bottoms and are staked into the ground, said Smith. Masterplan sketch
Consensus decision-making Members of the Shimer College Assembly reaching a consensus through deliberation. Consensus decision-making is a group decision-making process that seeks the consent of all participants. Consensus may be defined professionally as an acceptable resolution, one that can be supported, even if not the "favourite" of each individual. Consensus is defined by Merriam-Webster as, first, general agreement, and second, group solidarity of belief or sentiment. It has its origin in the Latin word cōnsēnsus (agreement), which is from cōnsentiō meaning literally feel together.[1] It is used to describe both the decision and the process of reaching a decision. Objectives[edit] As a decision-making process, consensus decision-making aims to be:[2] Alternative to common decision-making practices[edit] Consensus decision-making is an alternative to commonly practised adversarial decision-making processes.[5] Robert's Rules of Order, for instance, is a process used by many organizations.

Cidadania em Rede HackDash: Ideas for a hackatón The dragon that evolved into a pterosaur Jeff Hecht, consultant (Image: Cornelius Meyer) The Italian inscription on this curious beast identifies it as a "dragon as it was recovered in the hands of the engineer Cornelius Meyer". The picture comes from a 1696 book that Meyer wrote describing his construction projects, and an etching on the cover claims to show the dragon as it looked alive in 1691, stalking the marshes near Rome. In the minds of "young Earth" creationists, Meyer's dragon has evolved far beyond an engineer's flight of fancy. Medieval artists depicted many types of dragons, but Meyer's drawing is detailed enough to analyse and identify the bones, says palaeontologist Phil Senter of Fayetteville State University in North Carolina. Sadly for creationists and dinosaur-loving dreamers everywhere, the beast was, of course, a fake, cobbled together from animal parts and fancifully sculpted fabrications The skull and jaw came from different dogs, the ribs from a fish, and the hind limb is the arm of a bear.
