iRODS User Group Meeting 2011

Sustainable Policy-Based Data Management, Sharing, and Preservation
The third annual User Group Meeting for iRODS, the Integrated Rule-Oriented Data System, was held at RENCI, the Renaissance Computing Institute Europa Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) February 17 – 18, 2011. Reflecting growing interest in iRODS, this year's meeting meeting was larger than last year's, with attendees from the US and Canada as well as Europe and Asia, and from large projects in multiple agencies as well as commercial partners. The meeting provided an opportunity for the growing iRODS community to participate in sessions on applications of iRODS, sustainability, and technology development planning, and more, all focused on helping users implement and extend the new paradigm of sustainable policy-based management, sharing, and preservation. For more information, including meeting products of presentation slides, papers, posters, Proceedings, etc. see the meeting website. The iRODS User Group Meetings are a good source of information and use cases on iRODS, see IRODS User Group Meetings.

Phi Beta Iota:  Autonomous Internet Posts (85 as of 14 Apr 2011)

Autonomous Internet is a new category under Information Operations (IO) in the Journal of Public Intelligence.  This new category will apply to software, hardware, and practices that create a Free Internet that cannot be shut down by anyone. Advanced Cyber/IO will cover everything else that is advanced, including concepts, successes, failures, and organizational issues.  Retrospectively we are returning to associate this category with the various OpenBTS and Free Internet posts inspired by the Egyptian Revolution and all that has followed.  If it is not obvious, this means among many other things assuring the ability of any individual or organization to obtain their own autonomous system capabilities and addresses, and the ability to open up point to point optical pipes that cannot be controlled by Stone Age mind-sets who think they have a right to charge for access to cyber-space–like air, cyberspace will become an essential for life, not subject to control by predatory corporations and immoral governments.  The Netherlands, among others, appears to be on the right track.
