How to collect, structure and publish data?

Wysłane przez w

abouthouses.euThis workshop provides an outline about the collection, structure and publishing of data.
You will learn about different types of data, data models and publishing methods.
The workshop is for everyone who collects data, needs to structure and share them.

Data, Information and Knowledge

Data is the lowest level of abstraction, information is the next level, and finally, knowledge is the highest level among all three.
Data on its own carries no meaning. For data to become information, it must be interpreted and take on a meaning. For example, the height of Mt. Everest is generally considered as "data", a book on Mt. Everest geological characteristics may be considered as "information", and a report containing practical information on the best way to reach Mt. Everest's peak may be considered as "knowledge".
To create information and knowledge based on data it’s necessary to know

      First JoomlaDay in Shanghai, China

      Wysłane przez w

      Audience jd12cnJune 2, 2012 the first JoomlaDay in China was held in Shanghai. It was organized by Berry Yang and her Team. Berry is a team leader at Ebay. Her team works on the Datahub project which is an application based on the Joomla platform.

      Joomla in China has a long tradition. Derek Joe is the head of the Chinese Translation team since Mambo days and runs joomla.cn. The Chinese Joomla forum attracts 12,000 members. Most of them are spread all over the country. As you know, China is a quite big country and many Joomla users cannot afford to spend a few days for traveling to and attending a JoomlaDay. At this first event 110 delegates registered and 80+ attended.

      The event was held in the German Centre. A kind of conference and office space where Ebay has its offices too.

      There was one track and in total 5 presentations.

          Discover places2b in Europe!

          We came together in a European project to explore places in Europe and found ourselves exploring ecology, history, economy, culture, politics, language and community. In the process we discovered each other, as well as ways of working that built bridges across boundaries and opened up the worlds of our places to share with travellers passing by.

          The guide contains a selection of places from France, Greece, Italy and Wales, of course described in all these languages and English.

          We chose places a little distance away from the flood of tourists, places we love.

          Language: 

          English
          Français (French)
          Greek (Ελληνικά)
          Italian (Italiano)
          Welsh (Cymraeg)

          Love, Peace & Leadership

          Wysłane przez w

          Museu DaliIntroduction

          Leadership – is the art to support and encourage others to achieve common goals.
          Good leaders are enablers, helping people and organizations to perform, develop and master changes.

          Leadership requires strong emotional intelligence and empathy to reflect people's needs and necessary changes. Reality shows that this is easier to understand than to apply in practice.
          The acting, direction and success of organizations depend decisively on the competencies and maturity of those people who are in power.
          When talking about leadership, you can quickly get into very controversial discussions about power and the misuse of power, social responsibilities and justice, free spirits, community sharing and declination of authorities, something between peace & love and authorities.
          It’s an emotional topic because as written above, its appearance depends on the personality of human beings.

          In this article, I’ll explain, by using Transactional Analysis models, what leadership means, what makes someone a leader and reflect on leadership styles and complementary behaviour.

              My JandBeyond 2012

              Wysłane przez w

              Audience JOscarsOnce a year JandBeyond, the international Joomla conference is held in Europe. This time, the venue was, again, the Dolce Hotel in Bad Nauheim, Germany. Elvis Presley lived in Bad Nauheim during his time with the United States Army in Friedberg. 

              My initial plan was to meet with Christine (my beloved wife :) ) at JandBeyond, attend the event and drive home together with her. The days before she was in Germany and I was in Switzerland. She prepared the session "Peace, Love and Leadership" and worked the weeks before the event together with the responsible working group on a Proposal for a new Joomla project structure (Discuss the proposal here). She was asked to attend the leadership meeting after the event. Unfortunately it was not possible for her to attend because of some trouble making a decision on behalf of the leadership team so she finally quit her participation.

              If you attended jab12 too, please be so kind and add your preferred social media accounts in this Google doc and please post your links to photos in this Google doc.

              And now - my story :)

              I arrived Friday morning and as part of the video team I had to record sessions.

                  My point of viewIndividual versus group needs and where do I fit in?

                  The Joomla Day New England was the second Joomla Day I attended and the first where I gave a presentation. It seems that I hit the nail with my topic as there were lively discussions during and after my session and I was asked to write everything down.

                  So here it is ;-)

                  I consult and coach different kind of companies regarding their organizational structure and guide them to develop and implement necessary changes. Doing this I use the methods of Transactional Analysis (TA), a psychological theory, based on psycho-analysis and psychotherapy.

                  It is used in counselling, organization development, education and psychotherapy. There is a set of models which helps to understand why we think, feel and act like we do, to trace behavioural patterns and ways of thinking, reflect on these and learn to develop alternatives, that will lead to a change of the everyday (working) life.

                  I am not directly involved in the Joomla project nor do I have strong relations to many members, I just got in contact with some of them and, from my outside standpoint, I was looking with my TA eyes at the visible processes of the Joomla project.

                      The first Joomla!Day in Iran

                      Wysłane przez w

                      366/100April 12th Christine and me attended the first Joomla!Day in Mashhad, Iran.

                      The JoomlaDay team around Saeed worked one year to make this event possible. Due to ongoing sanctions against Iran it was not possible for Open Source Matters to support the event with 500 US$ as they usually do for an official Joomla!Day. I announced the event personally in several chats, meetings and JoomlaDays (last time in New England) but people had concerns about the political situation and often fear to get involved in that. For our company cocoate which is based in France exists regulations too that make it impossible to support the event financially. At the end of the day we decided to have a look by ourselves, fly to Iran and attend the event.

                      First problem was to figure out how to get a visa. For getting a visa you need a confirmation of a hotel reservation with a price in. Especially in Mashhad the hotel staff speak Farsi and Arabic but very little English. Confirming a price longer than a few weeks/days is hard for them because of a rising inflation in the last months. At least we found the Bahram Hotel which is located near Iman Reza shrine and near the house where Ali Khamenei سید علی حسینی خامنهای  was born.

                      We had to add our names to a list of the German "Auswärtiges Amt" and they told us to be very careful, don't take personal computers, cameras and other equipment with us and several more security advices. It is not possible to use our credit cards in Iran so we had to bring in cash for the hotel and our expenses. The money has to be changed somewhere (be careful when carrying high amounts of cash in your pocket ...).

                      We got more and more unsure whether it was a good idea to go to Iran but the curiosity and the hope that people are nearly the same in the whole world was still bigger.
