DemoCampVancouver 7 Live-Twitter Stream
I’m not liveblogging but I’ve created a Cover It Live stream. Use #dcv7 for the hashtag.

 |
hummingbird604: @moneycoach I’m only doing live-tweet #dcv7 – the stream should be coming into my blog now |
|
| 6:11 |
|
hummingbird604: I was impressed with #dcv7 presentation on legal software and green building |
|
| 6:13 |
 |
RobCottingham: Thanks again, @Miss604, for the ticket! #dcv7 |
|
| 6:14 |
|
hummingbird604: @moneycoach No, Nancy – @RobCottingham is also live-tweeting and his tweets are coming into the #dcv7 stream |
|
| 6:16 |
|
hummingbird604: We are doing the voting for #dcv7 |
|
| 6:18 |
|
hummingbird604: RT @RobCottingham: If you’re pitching, it’s worth saying your URL more than once… esp if an unintuitive one. Just a friendly hint. #dcv7 |
|
| 6:22 |
|
hummingbird604: The voting process at #dcv7 is well underway. You only get ONE vote, so think wisely  |
|
| 6:22 |
|
hummingbird604: Time to mingle at #dcv7 (network, sorry!) |
|
| 6:38 |
Raul: For some reason the tweets aren’t being incorporated so I’m just going to liveblog it.

|
hummingbird604: Annoyed at @coveritlive for not incorporating the Twitter stream for #dcv7 |
|
| 6:39 |
Raul: We need to reduce the cost of experimenting by developing a platform that is
- Modular
- Scalable
- Extendible
- Customizable
- Open source
or else our resources will be drained. |
| 6:40 |
Raul: We need a reusable container that provided all the basic characteristics common amongst all the social websites – this container is called a Social Engine. |
| 6:41 |
|
RobCottingham: Ha!! RT @todmaffin: Wow! You sure replied quick! Thanks for the DM! I’m looking forward to your tweets too! This is so exciting! |
|
| 6:42 |
Raul: We named the project after persian Goddes of Water (Anahita) – Goddess of Water, Wisdom, Fertility and Love |
| 6:42 |
 |
FierceKitty: @RobCottingham @hummingbird604 it’s cute. you are the only two people who are using the #dcv7 hashtag. *giggles* |
|
| 6:43 |
|
RobCottingham: Anahita is the Persian goddess of water, wisdom, fertility and love. Water symbolizes knowledge. “And, she’s hot.” #dcv7 |
|
| 6:43 |
|
hummingbird604: RT @RobCottingham: Now hearing about Anahita: a social engine, built on Joomla – modular, scalable, extensible, open-source #dcv7 |
|
| 6:44 |
Raul: Anahita Social Engine (TM) provides
- Profiles
- Social graphing
- Activity Feed
- Messaging
- Organic privacy management
- Ability to run social applications
- Subcontainers
- APIs for privacy, folksonomy, commenting and social applications. |
| 6:45 |
Raul: The focus is not to be a Facebook clone. Facebook is one of the social networks. This was a social platform. |
| 6:47 |
 |
kk: many/most of the projects being demo’d tonight at democamp Vancouver 7 are built in Ruby on Rails. #dcv7 |
|
| 6:47 |
|
hummingbird604: I’ve incorporated both the #democamp and #dcv7 hashtags into my live-stream – hat tips and thanks to @RobCottingham for livetweets! |
|
| 6:47 |
Raul: The big picture of Anahita Social Engine (TM)
Joomla! is the shell/template engine. The Nooku Framework on top. Then the Anahita Social Engine goes on top. The bubbles are the social apps. And install them (iPhone apps, social web projects) |
| 6:48 |
 |
johnbiehler: @kk yeah I thought I was at a Rails meetup  #dcv7 |
|
| 6:48 |
Raul: Anahita is fully customizable. You can rewrite even the data structure. |
| 6:49 |
Raul: Lead Follow, Mutual Social Graphing |
| 6:49 |
 |
rightantler: At democamp #dcv7 lots of energy – very refreshing |
|
| 6:49 |
|
kk: it looks like there about 100+ geeks, nerds, and wannabes here at democamp Vancouver tonight at @workspace http://bit.ly/3yIx8 #dcv07 |
|
| 6:51 |
Raul: Anahita Social Applications
- Are installed as joomla component. In the future we’d like to deliver smoe of them via the web.
- Can have multiple gadgets on the user profiles
- They can publish stories, notifications and requests on behalf ot the user.
All of that can be localized to the viewers, preferred language setting. |
| 6:51 |
|
RobCottingham: @johnbiehler Maybe the Joomla on Rails meetup? #dcv7 |
|
| 6:52 |
Raul: Some scalability examples
- Distributed memory caching system
- Storage visualization |
| 6:53 |
Raul: Container & sub-container
- Social Engine is the main container
- Groups
What we have accomplished
An open source platform that is
- Modular
- Customizable
- Scalable
- Extendible |
| 6:54 |
 |
cognoscento: Will we end up with too many “places to go” in the future social web? #dcv7 |
|
| 6:54 |
|
cognoscento: I don’t want a facebook-like monolith but I also don’t want a separate place for every group/community I might belong to. #dcv7 |
|
| 6:54 |
Raul: Early access to the source code is available via the Partner’s Program $ 500 USD per year
|
| 6:55 |
|
RobCottingham: Anahita code will be released publicly in next three months. #joomla #democamp |
|
| 6:55 |
 |
bmann: Cool – #anahita has implemented storage virtualization, so you can move from local to cloud storage as you scale #dcv7 |
|
| 6:59 |
|
hummingbird604: RT @johnbiehler: I want an anti-social platform…oh right, that’s WoW. #dcv7 |
|
| 6:59 |
|
hummingbird604: It’s @apeatling’s turn to speak about #buddypress at #dcv7 |
|
| 7:01 |
|
hummingbird604: It took a while for @coveritlive to incorporate the twitter stream, but it’s working with both hashtags #dcv7 and #democamp |
|
| 7:02 |
Raul: Andy Peatling
BuddyPress
It’s not going to be a particularly technical presentation, it’s just an overview and how it might help you.
Answer basic questions – what is BuddyPress and how should I use BuddyPress for a site that I am either starting or expanding again. |
| 7:02 |
Raul: WordPress Multi User (WPMU) – install it once – multi-blog platform. It’s a series of plugins that adds a social layer. It becomes a social networking platform. |
| 7:02 |
 |
socialsignal: Enthusiastic crowd response to Anahita pitch. Next up..? #democamp |
|
| 7:02 |
|
socialsignal: @apeatling is introducing BuddyPress. I’ve been intrigued by this for a while. #democamp |

|
socialsignal: BuddyPress runs on WordPress MU and adds a social layer – “a whopping great big plugin” #democamp |
|
| 7:04 |
Raul: Why?
Build passionate users around a specific niche.
|
| 7:05 |
Raul: There’s no horizontal interaction. You use BuddyPress to enable the users to interact and really contribute and become part of the site. |
| 7:05 |
|
kk: gettin a demo of BuddyPress from @apeatling. cool social networking product that runs on top of WordPress Multi-User #dcv07 #democamp |
|
| 7:05 |
Raul: 9 Niches
- Sports teams
- Niche communities
- Universities
- Newspapers
- Companies or products
- High schools
- Intranets
- Blogging networks |
| 7:07 |
Raul: A social network – to be or not to be?
When you install these plugins, you can customize how they work and integrate them with your existing flow of work. |
| 7:07 |
|
socialsignal: Offers profiles, activity streams, forums, PMs, more #democamp |

Raul: Custom Branding
By using a platform you can download and use on your servers, you can tailor the features the way you like. Integrate it nicely with your existing site. |
| 7:12 |
Raul: Existing Plugins
A lot of the existing plugins work inside BuddyPress. |
| 7:12 |

LEX PUBLICA
Open sourcing the law
Legal entries on legal – 790 million
Sex – 750 million |
| 7:42 |
Raul: Big companies can’t afford lawyers somehow. Lawyers can’t afford themselves either. Opening up legal information for everyone.
The first practical element
Contract templates – free, plain English! |
| 7:43 |
Raul: Contracts will have supporting guides to help you use them correctly. Example – a non-disclosure agreement. You visit LexPublica and find lists of the common terms. |
| 7:44 |
Raul: You can choose when you want to handle a contract yourself and when you want to go to a lawyer. |
| 7:44 |
Raul: Lex Publica is a large endeavour. Will require a huge community. It sounds daunting, but there are working on it. |
| 7:44 |
|
socialsignal: And now LexPublica – I’m pumped about this one #democamp |
|
| 7:44 |
|
hummingbird604: OMG. Awesomesauce @zakgreant is going to present Lex Publica #dcv7 #democamp |

|
| 7:44 |
|
hummingbird604: My parents are both lawyers. They’d be in love with LexPublica! #dcv7 #democamp |
|
| 7:45 |
Raul: The business model
There’s a commercial element to Lex Publica.
|
| 7:45 |
Raul: 8.15×14 will provide services built around Lex Publica and will be interactive. |
| 7:45 |
|
socialsignal: Not just legal docs: context too. And in plain language. A global legal commons. #democamp |
|
| 7:45 |
Raul: Imagine an online space where you can manage your contract negotiations, your dealings with your lawyer. Think something similar to BaseCamp for contract management. |
| 7:46 |
|
socialsignal: Business model: 8-1/2×14 is a commercial entity w offerings around LexPublica using open APIs #democamp |
|
| 7:48 |
