+++ majestyx's Free Software Blog +++

Am 23. März 2012 ist der “Document Freedom Day”. Auch dieses Jahr möchte der FFII zusammen mit der Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) an diesem Tag wieder Institutionen, Vereinigungen oder Unternehmen in Deutschland auszeichnen, die einen besonderen Beitrag zur Verbreitung von Offenen Standards geleistet haben.

Dazu rufen wir zu Nominierungen auf. Bitte senden Sie uns Ihre Vorschläge bis zum 1. Februar per Email an de-help(ät)ffii.org.

Bisherige Preisträger des Document Freedom Award sind 2008 das Auswärtige Amt für seine damalige Umstellung und Verwendung des Open Document Format (ODF),

mindhacking.org is a project intended to expose the vulnerabilities of the human mind. Although our minds are not at all like computers, they can certainly be hacked. Modern psychology provides us with many methods that can serve as a basis for actual hacks. The goal of mindhacking.org is to develop those hacks and make them open to the public. By exposing these hacks, we hope to inoculate people against them.
How can you contribute?

As a developer. The site is planned to work like a wiki, where our researchers (and anyone who is interested) write and discuss articles. Frankly, we don’t like any of the available software. We want to provide a better means of discussing articles and a better way to explore other related articles. We hope you’d like to develop these tools with us (in Ruby on Rails), so our users can have the best possible experience.

As researcher. There’s tons of psychological literature available. Do you love reading it as much as we do? Then let’s figure out which concepts make for a good hack and which theories allow the description of a mind vulnerability. The platform will ultimately be public, but to start we need some basic articles (maybe a set of the biggest vulnerabilities and a few experimental hacks). We would love to work with you on collecting information and writing the basic articles.
Who are we?

@eulenherr I’m 26. I’m curious. Especially about human minds and how to play with them. I read a lot, preferably philosophy and psychology books, and experiment with the people around me. My skills revolve around interface design, software development and critical thinking.

@mochtu Only 24 and not a bit less curious. Foremost about technology and how it enables people to share information and inspire each other. As an engineer I like to proactivly create solutions for underreported topics like this one. If you don’t find me coding behind my black, old macbook I’ll be out on a sailboat experimenting on social behavior of groups in a closed, stressful environment.
