Configuration Management Isn't EverythingJulian Dunn
This document discusses configuration management (CM) projects and what leads to their success and failure. It notes that while CM is important, revolutionizing IT requires more than just CM. Successful CM projects have realistic expectations, dedicate resources to own the CM process, conduct candid assessments of current processes, make incremental changes, and plan in advance. They focus on people, process, and products rather than just tools. Unsuccessful projects have unrealistic expectations, rely too much on consultants, take a big bang approach, and lack advance planning. The key is to focus on CM as a long-term investment that improves team collaboration and experimentation.
The document provides guidance on planning and managing a web project. It discusses establishing requirements, issuing a request for proposal (RFP), selecting a development partner, going through phases of discovery, design, development and testing, content migration, and ongoing site management.

Community Networks: le regole della libertàRoberto Caso
Se si vuole incentivare lo sviluppo delle reti comunitarie occorre garantire un quadro normativo certo, stabile e rispettoso delle libertà dei cittadini
Le regole della responsabilità civile e del diritto d’autore hanno un peso fondamentale nello sviluppo delle reti comunitarie
L’enforcement a tutti i costi del diritto d’autore ha un impatto devastante sullo sviluppo della Rete e delle reti alternative (piuttosto andrebbe ripensato profondamente il diritto d’autore)
Dall’università-azienda all’università aperta: missione impossibile?Roberto Caso
Negli Stati Uniti dove è nata ed è stata messa in pratica l’idea di trasformare le università in aziende si è anche per tempo sviluppata un’ampia letteratura che denuncia i mali ingenerati dall’imprenditorializzazione dell’accademia e della ricerca scientifica. In Italia solo di recente sta emergendo una coscienza critica verso la “commodification” dell’università e della scienza.
La tendenza a concepire il sapere come merce da chiudere nelle maglie della proprietà intellettuale, lo svilimento della didattica, l’ansia della valutazione, l’ipertrofica burocratizzazione, la tensione competitiva per raggiungere la chimera dell’eccellenza hanno instillato goccia a goccia un veleno che corrompe diffusamente e profondamente lo spirito nobile dell’università da identificarsi nell’insegnamento dello spirito critico, nel progresso della conoscenza e nello sviluppo della società tutta. I sintomi dell’avvelenamento sono evidenti: il sistema delle pubblicazioni consegnato a un oligopolio di imprese che hanno come unica stella polare il profitto, la moltiplicazione delle frodi scientifiche (dalla falsificazione dei dati al plagio), lo sfruttamento dei precari della ricerca, l’indebolimento della ricerca fondamentale a favore della ricerca applicata. Può l’apertura dei risultati della ricerca scientifica e della didattica restituire all’università il suo spirito nobile? La risposta può essere positiva solo se il termine “apertura” viene concepito in senso ampio cioè non limitato al suo nucleo primigenio: la messa a disposizione gratuita e con diritti di riuso su Internet dei risultati della ricerca e dei materiali didattici. Apertura in senso ampio significa non solo condivisione e trasparenza, ma un radicale cambio di mentalità dei protagonisti del mondo universitario e una nuova strategia degli enti che finanziano e governano l’università. Il senso etico dell’apertura sta nella vocazione alla cooperazione, nella prevalenza dell’intelligenza collettiva su quella individuale, nel contrasto agli oligopoli del sapere, nel saper cogliere e sviluppare le potenzialità di una nuova forma di dialogo basata sulla Rete. Senza una visione ampia e coraggiosa anche l’apertura è destinata – come dimostrano inequivoci segnali - ad essere risucchiata dai potenti (e inesorabili) ingranaggi del mercato e degli oligopoli del sapere.
