"The event will convene stakeholders in the field of open content translation to assess the state of software tools that support translation of content that is licensed under free or open content licenses such as Creative Commons or Free Document License. The event will serve to map out what’s available, what’s missing, who’s doing what, and to recommend strategic next steps to address those needs, with a particular focus on delivering value to open education, open knowledge, and human rights blogging communities.
Primary focus will be placed on supporting and enabling distributed human translation of content, but the role of machine translation will also be considered. “Open content” will encompass a range of resource types, from educational materials to books to manuals to documents to blog content to video and multimedia.

I keep reading Apple + Twitter stories and no-one seems to have a clue why it might be a good idea… or a very bad idea… or simply unnecessary. What almost no one does… is tell me a story of why it might be a good idea. This is a crude little thought experiment. An example of where it might lead you is… Could the app/itunes store become the billing engine for Twitter services? Are the Telecom operators financial models the likely casualty? Is iTunes the next bank?
Steve Jobs 2015 WWDC… reflecting on the 3.0 iPhone launch.
