På möte med ordföranden i Prag

Om användarföreningar, java och Oracle = sant? Sun + Oracle = Sant?

Intressant, 1/3 av deltagarna är från Java User Group-föreningar. De twittrar om konferensen under tiden den sker, ett wake-up-call for Oracle tror jag. De är rakt fram dessutom och rakt på i deras åsikter.

Oracle är nog lite ovana det tror jag.

English...
At a meeting on Oracle User Groups in Prague, Java + oracle = True? Sun + Oracle = True?

Interesting is that a third of the delegates from the User Communities are from Java User Groups. It is the first time we see them in Europe, and they twitter about their feelings about the conference. And the presentators are...well...nervous about that very fact...

Social media F2F and on-line communities

This is a tryout. Just entering some text and see what happens. Could influence some parts of the DB-industry, or not at all. Anyway. Here it is:

In the on-line communities of today we face some issues not present in every day face-to-face situations. The on-line communities consist of participants that are to be found from a variety of cultures and they are forced to write in another language than their mother-tongue. Various cultural differences influence degree of participation in on-line communities.

Using a language that is not your mother-tongue furthermore in a mainly written environment presents some issues. How will you get your thoughts thru? How do you connect via a language that is not known by heart. You are also forced to write - and not speak – in that foreign language. However, the video and image based communities might present a solution.

This thesis is a practical walk-through of a 27 year long experience in on-line communication, from the stumbling steps in text based communication systems when Internet was just born. It also covers the necessary adaptations and limitations forced upon on-line communication in a multi-cultural non face-to-face world.
One finding made is that it become more easy to get the communication to flow if there are common (multi-cultural, non F2F and non-mother-tongue) jokeable items within the on-line community.
