Summary: Lack of time motivates greater levels of crowdsourcing in Techrights

SOME TIME yesterday we asked for greater participation in this Web site, which saw a rise in visits recently. The goal is to have maximal impact which strives to achieve digital betterment and increased freedom for users.

At the beginning of January we started experimenting with more ways of getting more people involved, using IRC and wiki as media. In order to better organise, earlier today we had eliminated the fake "techrights" account in Identi.ca. It was registered by a forger, and based on the smear contained in the profile, it was by some libelous obsessive stalker, who spreads false rumours around the Web, mostly about me (e.g. libelous things like transsexualism). Anyway, this account was reclaimed some hours ago, so techrights in Identi.ca is not run by a faker anymore (there are also boycottnovell and techbytes, with a corresponding group). If you have an identi.ca account, please consider subscribing to it. This account makes it easier to follow and coordinate work with the rest of the people who contribute, e.g. via IRC. It would be a lie to say that this Web site is run by one person and to claim this would be pure spin.

As I wrote here some months ago, dedicated to this Web site I do not have as much time as I used to because of research projects I do, currently working with hearts (a lot more details in my personal blog). For all the detractors who like to distort details about my personal and professional life, all the output of my projects is Open Access and Free software, for text and code, respectively. There were never exceptions to that. To use a crude tracking example in video, here is a rotation sequence for validation. This shows a squared frame of size 10 used for each point in a random position and it is quite fast to compute. But anyway, that's off topic. ⬆
