Visit the project's blog at http://buylocalrpi.blogspot.com. Troy has a lot of potential; it is the second fastest growing city in the Capital District area of New York State (“City Receives…”). If you contact the mayor’s office in this picturesque town on the Hudson River, you will ... [More] probably get a decent sized list of prospective investors and developers. With the local government of cities all over the United States typically focused on offering incentives to draw “big business,” who is looking out for the “little man?” When it comes to prices and convenience, at first glance, local businesses, or, “Small-Marts” are seemingly at a disadvantage compared to mega-chain stores such as “Walmart.” However, if you take into account the socio-economic footprint of such megastores you find that consumers are subsidizing big business (Shuman 5). It also makes sense that local businesses tend to invest more money and human capital locally. So a consumer might find that an extra few dollars spent locally, in the final analysis, actually saves them money. It will definitely save them peace of mind, since it is well known that the carbon footprint of a product bought from a large “fulfillment” business like Walmart, or, Safeway, is much larger (due to a top-down structure of organization that makes shipping goods across country a regular occurrence), than the same one bought from your corner grocer. With knowledge about the conveniently walkable distances of local businesses, more Troy residents may be encouraged to live healthier, less polluting lifestyles while saving money on gas and promoting a greater sense of community. As middle-class consumers become more aware about how their purchasing decisions affect their local community, there is a greater need for tools that will make buying local easier (Shuman 105-109). With the success of such websites as Amazon.com redefining the shopping experience, it is arguable that online shopping focused on local purchasing options may be a viable way of helping to sustain the community. Buy Local will be developed in Drupal and aims to be this new online shopping experience. What makes this invention so exciting is that it is a mesh-work. It combines the socio-economics of sustainable local shopping with the tools of the internet. Using ideas that savvy internet surfers are already familiar with: user reviews, searchable inventory, map directions, etc., it offers them an opportunity to find a specific product…down the street. This service is different from online yellow pages because the inventory is more specific, and can be purchased with a click of a button. It is also different from traditional Web Services, because it is not for one specific vendor, but for all local vendors. Finally, if distributed as freeware through the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE) and similar agencies, it is uniquely positioned to help build “flexible specialization” into local economies by encouraging competitive “craft production”(Piore & Sabel). In conclusion, a new online shopping experience, “Buy Local” is under development that encourages sustainable local development by giving consumers access to a streamlined tool for buying locally.

bxmpp

IntroductionBXMPP is an effort for making XMPP less verbose. Since everybody knows that XML is extremely inefficient in terms of bandwidth, the XSF has defined a new transport, named Binary XMPP, for tackling this critical problem by devising a highly compressible binary transport for XMPP. See the ... [More] official XEP for a more detailed description. InstallationNow you can finally try an efficient Binary XMPP client on your cell phone, just follow these instructions: Download the installer for Lampiro BXMPP Edition and send it to your phone Checkout the BXMPP connection manager (Python and Twisted Matrix required) from the SVN repository Start the connection manager python bxmpp_cm.py jabberhost Start the client on your cell phone, go to the advanced options and manually set the connection host to yourcmhost:10110 And finally enjoy the highly compressible binary stream made of and elements! NotesPlease note the current version of Lampiro has compression turned off. The next release will be available in two versions, a free one with just the optimized Binary XMPP, and a pro version offering you all the advantages of a binary protocol and compression! ExamplesHere is a partial stream dump. Our laboratories have demonstrated that the stream is compressible to less than 2% of the original size! [Less]

Go Green to Go Forward ! I am presiding on the Advisory Board for Sustainability at my company and heading the Data Acquisition and Reporting task force. After many searches for an Energy Management software suite for sustainability, very few were found and none were open source. What I would like ... [More] to do is to manage the development of an open source energy management framework application companies and schools could use to monitor their energy usage and be able to report their findings to EnergyStar.gov and the GRI, Global Reporting Initiative. Since it would be open source, any company or university could download this application and go green. After some investigation about EnergyStar, they have a JAVA plugin that will exchange XML data to their site so any data can be automatically transported to them for reporting so, it would seem best to use JAVA, we could also interface JFreeReport or JFreeChart for reporting which is also in JAVA. Having designed several large software suites I will provide data file layout and relationships, overall documentation of the funcationality, and even technical documents of the interfaces between processes. I plan to have this project very well thoughtout and documented before we start coding or interfacing modules. It is my intention to get green minded software developers to come together and create an energy management framework that all of us could use to manage our energy usage. Please join me in making a greener America. Backend: MySQL Frontend: PHP Reporting: JFreeReport or JFreeChart Interface: JAVA [Less]

greenpong

Puede seguir nuestro proyecto desde nuestra pagina web: www.greenPong.org ¡Bienvenido! Este es el wiki del proyecto greenPong para Expoandes 2007-I de la Universidad de los Andes. Este proyecto tiene como fecha límite para ser 100% funcional el 3 de mayo de 2007. El proyecto es desarrollado ... [More] íntegramente en Linux, a traves del repositorio de subversiones se puede realizar el seguimiento del desarrollo. Se usa eclipse 3.1 como IDE. El proyecto greenPong consiste en el desarrollo de un juego de Pong en java, de forma que pueda comunicarse con un sistema que retorna constamente coordenadas de una bola de tennis que es monitoreada por una camara. El jugador se ubicará en medio de la cámara y un fondo negro. Ese sistema de seguimiento de la bola, VTS (visual tracking system), se comunica con el juego desplazando la barra del jugador y permitiendo jugar greenPong : Pong con una pelota de tennis. greenPong será un proyecto liberado con fines académicos, mas los derechos de lucro del proyecto y todo lo que en el se base serán propiedad exclusiva de los creadores del mismo.

currentcost

CurrentCost (http://www.currentcost.com) monitors allow you to monitor your home electricity usage. You can connect a serial cable to them to get the data out of them in an XML format. This project contains Perl, Python, C# and Java code that will parse the data for you. Note that data comes ... [More] out of CurrentCost meters in the form of a relative description of your electricity usage. E.g. you used this much electricity 2 hours ago The code stored here not only reads the data from the meter, but also parses it and converts it into an absolute description of your electricity usage. E.g. you used this much electricity at 1pm on 12th July Notes: The Python code now supports both the Classic and the CC128 CurrentCost monitors The C# sample supports the CC128 CurrentCost monitors The latest version of the code is all available using SVN from http://code.google.com/p/currentcost/source/browse/#svn/trunk Note: The Perl CurrentCost code is different to the code provided for other languages. Unlike the Java, Python and C#, it does not parse the history data. Instead, it is intended to read the CurrentCost data and publish some of it to a messaging system on the Internet so it can be graphed and viewed. The messaging system is the IBM MQ Telemetry Transport, useful, for example, for projects using Really Small Message Broker for home automation. A related project http://code.google.com/p/currentcostgui/ also draws graphs using the parsed CurrentCost data [Less]
