Star Wars: Episode III: How It Begins

I stumbled into an organization which focuses on an idea I myself came up with a few weeks ago, and I am currently trying to incubate it into “something” if anything at all. So in the meantime I urge you to check out Anansi Spaceworks and the other related organizations…

Open Space?
It’s all about applying the openness of “open source” and similar concepts to every science and technology field. When the idea came to me I cheasily termed it “Open Space”, but that name is eagerly used for other things, so if and when I incubate this little idea it will surely have a brand new a super crisp name.

Slashdotter belg4mit writes “An astronomy professor at Johns Hopkins is pushing for the adoption of a new, static, calendar. The press release is written better than his site but a little short on details.
Interestingly he claims this should be easy to implement and points at the hoops coders must jump through for the Gregorian calendar.”
