 We are here to invite you to join our community, BISA (Bringing Innovation Source Coding Africa). We understand that programmers are constantly creating innovative solutions to every day tasks, for complex problems, for business, for education and for fun. We want to harness the developer talent across Africa to come together to form a community that produces products together for free and to advance the African continent technologically, through our collective action, ideas, sharing knowledge and working together. We want you to help create this space for our open source platform. Africa needs programmers with an inspirational vision and who are willing to work collaboratively to bring forth these ideas to advance Africa as place for technological innovation. It's an ambition project, and one which needs contributions from all of us. We have the genesis of a great idea and we need more collaborators, to help us develop and unleash the true potential of this ide

A group of cloud computing stakeholders have announced a new project called OpenStack, which aims to produce a standard open source cloud computing software stack. It will allow adopters to host their own elastic computing clouds and scalable storage grids. Key participants include hosting company Rackspace and NASA. The project consists of several interoperable components that will be released incrementally as the code is made ready for public consumption. The OpenStack Object Storage framework, which is based Rackspace's Cloud Files service, is the first OpenStack component to be made available. The OpenStack contributors are also preparing to release OpenStack Compute, a framework for provisioning elastic computing clusters. The Compute component is not yet ready for an official release, but the preliminary source code is available as a developer preview. It is based on NASA's Nebula cloud architecture and Rackspace's Cloud Servers service. The OpenStac

The former leaders of IBM 's Visual Communications Lab have been hard at work on a "summer project" -- desktop software that will display large amounts of information in a number of visual formats. Fernanda Viégas and Martin Wattenberg touted version "0.5" of their Time Flow tool as a way to create visual timelines from textual data. And indeed the software can import a table of data -- presidential appointments, political contributions -- and show it as a timeline or a calendar, with color- and size-coded entries that make it easier to spot patterns. But the software also displays as sortable/filterable lists, tables and graphs -- allowing it to serve as much as a visual database as timeline -- and offers statistical summaries of the data. Viégas and Wattenberg created the visualization site Many Eyes which was designed to "democratize data analysis," adding a social component to graphic data (well before the explosive popularity of so
