For that to happen, we have begun planning a “noboot” event. A lot of people have shown their general interest and/or chimed in with preferred dates, and yesterday we met to get the process rolling.

Running Wake On LAN Ex, entering the required details, and hitting Send will cause the WOL-enabled computer to turn itself on and boot as normal. Depending on its WOL abilities, the destination computer can be sleeping, hibernating, or entirely off and still be able to react to a Wake-On-LAN event. WoLEX also supports shutting down, restarting, logging-off, and hibernating the remote computer, as well as sending it administrator messages and custom actions.

It wasn’t just about the technology of open source, however; it was about the mind set of open source. The tips given here have lingered in my mind since Reboot 11. I have seen how they are suitable for organizations who need to adapt to the changing attitudes, perceptions, and demands of their members. There is a resonance with some content strategy pointers from Richard Sheffield’s The Web Content Strategist’s Bible and Kristina Halvorson’s Content Strategy for the Web. These strategies for open source can also be used succcessfully in many of the projects unfolding in the alternate climate conference in Copenhagen these days. I repeat: open source is not about technology; it is about a mind set. You can use these tips for any project, not just software. This is Niels Hartvig’s to-do list for an open source project. Open source is hyped, but spend time asking yourself why you want to do it. Are you ready to share? Ship! Ship when you realize you want to share. Software, visions, physical objects, whatever. Until you actually ship something, you cannot share and people cannot collaborate. Beta is good enough as long as it’s not an excuse for something that is shit. Open source will always be a work-in-progress. That is an OK meme. Collaborate! To do this, you must be open. Simple, but so hard (for Niels). Open earlier. Sooner rather than later. Not just for small improvements, but for bigger improvements. This means that you have to respect other peoples’ ideas and input. It sounds simple, but can be overlooked. Delegate! Open Street Story from last year – why would anyone volunteer to do it? Because they think it is fun. Don’t be afraid to delegate. People love to help. Give up your ego! You can still be a front figure, but distribute credit to the people who help you. Give them the credit which they deserve. Realize that others are better than you. Good habits. You’ve got time for them now! Define standards now for how you’ll do things such as collaboration. DOCUMENT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! And document early. Make it delicious – don’t have a good product and a sucky website. It’s only the tip of the iceberg, but it makes things look professional. Management. Simply crucial in any project. Share your enthusiasm and passion. This is what drives the project. It’s worth more than the salary especially when you live in an area of the world where food and shelter is not a problem. Be demanding! It will affect everyone, for example, if you have people who don’t follow through on promises. Bad people are poison to your project. They are a drain – get rid of them. Embrace criticism, but those in the inner circle? Get rid of that negativity. It’s like the plague. Positive things – focus on them. DO IT! Niels Hartvig said it felt right to make open source, which, in his opinion, is a legitimate reason for doing it. The biggest lesson? Build something that is bigger than yourself. There ARE people out there who are brighter than you – so share! Your project will benefit!! karen Mardahl.dk Tue, 08 Dec 2009 20:00:40 +0100 http://www.mardahl.dk/2009/12/08/help-a-non-geek-catch-up/ Well, the title says it all, really, but it has taken me five months to write this. Correction: to get this published. This was the strongest message that I heard at Reboot 11 back in June. It came from Euan Semple when he opened the second day with his Big Picture talk. As I told Euan afterward, it was a message that came from my heart. Euan assumed the audience was in the know – that we “got” social media, technology, and all the newfangled things that probably categorized all the attendees as geeks. With all the gadgets being flashed at reboot11 or the gentle glowing of white, partially bitten apple silhouettes on our laptops, the audience would be hard pressed to say that they didn’t know about the latest technology. It was fair of Euan to assume that we were tech savvy, otherwise we wouldn’t be at a reboot conference. It was because we had some knowledge that he made his plea to us – and it was a plea – to help non-geeks catch up. A voice from the crowd Euan Semple began his big picture while he was in the audience and not on stage. This was to illustrate his frustration about the implications of standing on a stage. You end up with an inevitable leadership role (and BTW it?s mostly white males who are up there.) His breaking away from this ?rule? disconcerts people. Maybe not the reboot attendees, although many were craning their necks to see where the voice was coming from. Ever since this talk in June, I have been very conscious of the placement of the speaker and the audience at any event I have attended. Euan was spot on with his idea. However, we still have a way to go before the speakers get off the stage and speak from within the group. We, the speakers, must learn to give the reins to the audience, but always with care, guidance, support, and humility. As Euan pointed out, activists have to act differently if they are to be successful activists. They can’t stand on the stage anymore. We also have a way to go before the audience understands that their input, effort, and participation is wanted. We, the audience, have been so trained to pay attention to the leader up on the stage that we don’t recognize or understand when the reins are put in our hands. Finding the non-geeks A year or so ago, I was told that 42% of Danish office workers were computer illiterates (apologies that I don’t have the source). I have personally experienced people who didn’t know what a browser was, who couldn’t attach a file to an email, or who didn’t comprehend a slew of basic computer features. Euan gave us a few examples of what he meant by non-geeks, such as a person who was very uncomfortable with open discussions (within) a company about corporate topics. According to a traditional stereotype for many large companies, such matters would never be discussed so openly. You have your hierarchy, you have your chain of command … and so on. The so-called masses have begun to embrace new technology and join in on the fun (or get it shoved down their throats); Euan is concerned how this will affect behaviors. You see, this isn’t about technology at all. It is about all the cultural baggage behind it! That, too, is part of the story. Euan finds it staggering that people don’t know how to work out how to do the right thing. There is far more going on than just changing the physical, tangible systems. The ?old ways? are falling apart under their own weight. The corporate way of viewing the world is changing. The risk is that we don’t have a transition form to move from here to there – from “what we are comfortable with” to “the unknown”. And things are falling apart faster than we can replace them. Change requires subtle processes. The one-word theme of the reboot conferences allow us to make our sense of things. This year it was action. Euan’s action message to us is … Help a non-geek to catch up! So is Stowe Boyd more awesome than Euan Semple? (That's David 'Cluetrain Manifesto' Weinberger talking to the hand.) karen Mardahl.dk Tue, 08 Dec 2009 13:01:08 +0100 http://www.new-software-updates.com/uncategorized/prof-shutdown/ Prof Shutdown enables an administrator to schedule power management jobs to be executed on a local machine or multiple remote machines in a network. In the latter case, the tool is able to manage up to 1,000 machines all together at a specified time. A local machine can be scheduled to shutdown, reboot, hibernate, standby, log off current user session, lock computer, wake up from hibernate or standby mode, and display a popup message dialog. Networked machines can be scheduled to shutdown, reboot, hibernate, log off and wake up. Other major features include log file maintenance, command line support, and no need for a remote client installation. Scheduling a job is easy and requires no special knowledge. Prof Shutdown offers a wizard-style scheduler that can guide you through all the steps in a point-and-click manner. You click on the “Add New Task” icon, select a job to execute (shutdown, reboot, etc.), and type in a message to be displayed in a popup dialog before a job is executed. Time of message display can be set up according to your preference. Then you will be prompted to add a remote machine by specifying its name or IP, login and password (if necessary). If a networked machine is not known, you can search for it using the Active Directory Search or scanning from IP range functions. The final step is to schedule the time when you want a job to be triggered. Prof Shutdown will benefit network administrators since it lets them execute routine management jobs without ever having to leave their own workplace. They`ll have more focus on more important tasks, and less time spent on visiting each machine in an enterprise.
