PuSHPress 0.1.7.2

June 13, 2013 — Leave a comment

Updated to PuSHPress 0.1.7.2, networks-wide. That means we has a PuSH hub built-in, and services can use your normal feed (i.e. http://interi.org/feed/) to subscribe. This functionality had either been broken in past versions, or didn’t work on a WordPress network, but now it is working. I am using it to mirror this site into my StatusNet account.

Eventually I am planning on getting the parts of OStatus working that allows for replying directly to the site, but even more interesting is resurrecting some of the plugins that the OStatus suite was based on, and making WordPress talk to a lot of different federated systems. Of course we still don’t have an interface for reading the streams from other systems… but it isn’t a bad idea!

Okay, so WordPress multisite mirroring to StatusNet is working. Now I have to figure out how I got replies to post back as comments…

I think PuSHPress is working correctly, which means this should be push from my WordPress site to StatusNet.

I am getting all my repos in order, and I am glad that nearly all of them are completely free source. I have a couple of WordPress themes for clients that wanted them from Theme Forest, which has their weird dual license, but the child themes are available under the GPL, of course. You can see a list of them all at https://allthecod.es/public. In time, I hope all those are easier to view. ^_^

Ah, Oakland Local.
From Drupal to WordPress, ne?
Okay, time to crash.

Ah, Oakland Local

I am tired of starting projects and not getting anywhere. I am restarting Complexion in a different manner, using the repo to capture my ideas, and just building on it as I have time. Now I have something to do at hackathons.

Quercus

Quercus is Latin for “oak tree”. I believe it is pronounced kinda like, “quirk us”. That appeals to my sense of word play, and it happens to be the name of the new theme for Oakland Local.

It is a child theme of UrbanNews, we needed to make some minor changes to it. To launch we have specific things that need to be done, but moving forward I will be coordinating efforts for folks to contribute to Oakland Local in other ways besides (citizen) journalism. There is a lot of movement around open city data in Oakland, and it would be great to facilitate how that is presented, and how it is tied to the stories on OL.

While I will have some title tied to the technical part of Oakland Local, I also bring a sense of transparency and openness, and I have an opportunity to assert those values in a way that will encourage cognitive diversity and compassion in the public tool that is OL. I will be reaching out more after we get relaunched and I have time to think more, but if you have ideas now, drop them on me. If I can’t work on them, I bet I know someone who can. ^_^

When I see a URL ending in ?p=1234, I cringe. Setting up permalinks is really simple.
