Links and OTW Elections
Sunday, 23 October 2011 17:06An assortment of links which are potentially interesting to readers of this journal:
Mobipocket support is going away at Allromance/Omnilit. This may affect other ebook retailers; I don't know which organizes Overdrive is the back-end for.
cathy reminds you to write meaningful link text, not click here and its elaborations.
rachelmanija is offering psychological diagnoses of fictional characters I find this illuminating and sometimes amusing.
brownbetty is crossmixing characters from canon with apocalypses from another and summarizing the results.
I'm not sure what I think of this checklist of good management. I suppose the problem is that either it isn't necessary for people in support functions to know where the overall company is going, or I've never been in a well-managed situation. Both, of course, might be true.
Megan Garber at Nieman Labs suggests that the future is now, and that we are in the process of seeing serious ideas freed from books, or books serving as a single stop in the public development of public ideas.
The OTW election is SOON.
Cathy has a compilation ofpublic statements by the candidates.
I am sort of confused about what to think of it and how to think about it. The problem I am having is this, I think: I tend to think of the OTW as an appendage to the Archive of Our Own. This is not accurate, but it is how the organization as a whole often plays out in public fandom. (In the wider world of ideas, I would guess that Friend of the Court briefs and comments to the Copyright Commissioner in the US, and helping other people make analogous arguments in other countries, would be their widest impact.) But in my day to day fannish life, it's the Archive that is what I care about. ( My thoughts on the candidates )
Other people have thoughts, too.
