Portland Linux/Unix Group General Meeting Announcement Who: Ward Cunningham What: Federated Wiki Where: PSU, 1930 SW 4th Ave. Room FAB 86-01 (Lower Level) When: Thursday, May 1st, 2014 at 7pm Why: The pursuit of technology freedom Stream: http://pdxlinux.org/live/
UNIX introduced the notion of software tools, small programs assembled together as pipelines. Almost as innovative what its notion of a workbench, a place where work in progress could be shared by passing references, file paths, among collaborators. I draw huge inspiration from these contributions, both of which happened within my professional lifetime. In this talk I will describe analogous structures in Federated Wiki, a project that hopes to host the doing of things as well as the talk about doing things. Ward Cunningham has worked for and consulted to daring startups and huge corporations. He has served as CTO, Director, Fellow, Principle Engineer and Inventor. He is best known for creating wiki. He leads an open-source project rebuilding wiki to solve more complex sharing situations addressing some of societies toughest problems. Ward founded movements in object-oriented, agile software, extreme programming and pattern languages. Ward lives in Portland, Oregon and works for New Relic, Inc. Many will head to the Lucky Lab NW at 1945 NW Quimby after the meeting.
