  • Interview with Scott Rosenberg About Dreaming in Code
    By Geert Lovink “Software is a heap of trouble.” Scott Rosenberg Scott Rosenberg has written an excellent book on software and open source culture called “Dreaming in Code: Two Dozen Programmers, Three Years, 4,732 Bugs, and one Quest for Transcendent Software”. In it he writes: “Our civilization runs on software. Yet the art of creating software continues to be a dark history, even to the experts. Never in history have we depended so completely on a product that so few know how to make well.” West coast IT journalist and Salon.com cofounder Scott Rosenberg produced a very readable study on the internal dynamics of the Chandler open source calendar project. Chandler was supposed to “grow up into a powerful ‘personal information manager’ for organizing and sharing calendars, emails and to-do lists.” It would be cross-platform and open source, officially realized by the Open Source Applications Foundation. The book is chocking and boring at once. Many would recognize themselves in the stories about ‘slippage’, the delays and struggles to gain conceptual clarity amongst the drifting team members. Software is never ready and mal- functionality rules. Rosenberg spent three years as a member of the software developers team, financed and led by Lotus 1-2-3 creator and EFF cofounder Mitch Kapor, designing the Chandler calendar application that was meant to challenge the proprietary market leader Microsoft Outlook. At some point the reader gets lost in the level of detail but exactly at that moment the book takes a turn and puts the collective frustration in a wider historical perspective.

The 2010/2011 population-based study shows that the total incidence of TBI in New Zealand has increased to 790 per 100,000 population. Memory impairment is the most common symptom and affects most TBI survivors. Memory impairments result- ing from TBI take many forms depending on the nature of the injury. Existing work to use technology to help with memory problems focuses predominantly on capturing all information digitally to enable ‘replaying’ of memories.
