  • The Power of Youth: How Invisible Children Orchestrated Kony 2012 Wednesday, March 14, 2012
    To many people unfamiliar with Invisible Children, the Kony 2012 campaign looked like a brilliant example of “viral” media spread. The center of the campaign is a compelling 30-minute film where a father talks to his son about the evil practices of the Ugandan war lord Joseph Kony. The father makes it clear that his [...]

  • E-Government Must Focus On The Citizen, UN Says Monday, March 26, 2012

  • Ian Flint - World IPv6 Day: What We Learned Tuesday, May 29, 2012
    Last year the internet ran out of 32-bit IP addresses. Sharing IP addresses, as in the standard IPv4, has its problems, but who would volunteer to be the first to switch to the 128-bit standard, IPv6? Thus, June 8, 2011 became World IPv6 Day, in which thousands of big sites switched to IPv6, with a dual stack fall-back to IPv4. In this talk, Ian Flint, Archi […]
