And you'll want to attract new contributors, so you need a terrific name for your project.</p>\n<p>We've all read guides for creating names, but how do you go about choosing the right one? Keeping that cool science fiction reference you're using internally might feel fun, but it won't mean much to new users you're trying to attract. A better approach is to choose a name that's memorable to new users and developers searching for your project.</p>\n<p>Names set expectations. Your project's name should showcase its functionality in the ecosystem and explain to users what your story is. In the crowded open source software world, it's important not to get entangled with other projects out there. Taking a little extra time now, before sending out that big announcement, will pay off later.</p>\n</blockquote>\n</li>\n<li>\n<h5><a href=\"http://www.laura.community/2018/02/20/fosdem-2018-community-devroom-recap-simon-phipps-rich-sands/\" rel=\"nofollow\">FOSDEM 2018 Community DevRoom Recap: Simon Phipps &amp; Rich Sands</a></h5>\n<blockquote>\n<p>It&rsquo;s been a few weeks now since FOSDEM and if you didn&rsquo;t have a chance to attend or watch the &nbsp;livestream of the FOSDEM 2018 Community DevRoom, Leslie my co-chair, and I are doing a round up summary on posts on each of the talks to bring you the video and the highlights of each presentation.

Reading, evaluating, discussing, and selecting from the 200+ proposals that arrive every year is a long and challenging process. I must admit, I largely underestimated the task the first year I started doing it. It&rsquo;s necessary to evaluate not only the quality of every submission, but also how they fit together. In the end, the worst part is having to reject so many incredible proposals because there are a limited number of slots.</p>\n<p>However, once all the talks have been selected and all the approval and rejection emails have been sent, the process is still not complete. Now it is time to take all the accepted talks and schedule the actual program. Even for a moderate sized event like Voxxed Days Zurich (the conference lasts only one day and we have four parallel tracks), this is not a trivial task. There are many constraints and nice-to-haves that you may need to consider. For example, some speakers will arrive late in the morning or will have to leave early in the afternoon. &nbsp;Some talks require different room capacities. &nbsp;Two talks belonging to the same track must not be scheduled at the same time. There are many more variables to this process.</p>\n</blockquote>\n</li>\n<li>\n<h5><a href=\"https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2018/02/20/20-big-ideas-connect-unconnected/\" rel=\"nofollow\">20 Big Ideas to Connect the Unconnected</a></h5>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Last year, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and Mozilla announced the Wireless Innovation for a Networked Society (WINS) challenges: $2 million in prizes for big ideas to connect the unconnected across the U.S.</p>\n<p>Today, we&rsquo;re announcing our first set of winners: 20 bright ideas from Detroit, Cleveland, Albuquerque, New York City, and beyond. The winners are building mesh networks, solar-powered Wi-Fi, and network infrastructure that fits inside a single backpack. Winning projects were developed by veteran researchers, enterprising college students, and everyone in-between.</p>\n<p>What do all these projects have in common?

Rising amidst the counterculture movement in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Grateful Dead&rsquo;s music had roots in multiple styles and genres but did not lend itself to easy categorization. Was it psychedelic? Folk? Blues? Country? Yes, it was all of these and more. The band frequently performed well-known public domain songs, but they made the songs their own.</p>\n<p>Members of the band could effortlessly play across traditional and diverse styles. At concerts, they often performed songs that sounded familiar at first but grew and evolved across styles and genres. Songs often turned into lengthy jam sessions in which musicians played off one another, discovering new musical motifs and expanding them together.</p>\n</blockquote>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/109223\" target=\"_blank\">read more</a></p>\n<br>\n<br>\nvia Tux Machines http://ift.tt/VTl7oF<br>\nFebruary 20, 2018 at 01:32PM"}}
