WordPress started in 2003 with a single bit of code to enhance the typography of everyday writing and with fewer users than you can count on your fingers and toes.

Everything you see here, from the documentation to the code itself, was created by and for the community. WordPress is an Open Source project
Closures - Comparing the core of BGGA, CICE and FCM

KForge is an open-source (GPL) system for managing software and knowledge projects. It re-uses existing best-of-breed tools such as a versioned storage (subversion), a tracker (trac), and wiki (trac or moinmoin), integrating them with the system’s own facilities (projects, users, permissions etc). KForge also provides a complete web interface for project administration as well a fully-developed plugin system so that new services and features can be easily added.

Bloggen kann anstrengend sein: Sobald man mehrere Weblogs befüllt oder etwas mehr Bequemlichkeit als übliche HTML-Formulare haben will kommt man um einen Desktop-Client für das eigene Weblog nicht mehr umhin.

Kurzum: Es geht um Kultur.
Neben den Diskussionen und Vorträgen wird es Workshops geben und auch kommerzielle Aspekte kommen zur Sprache: re:publica wird diskutieren, ob und wie man als Blogger oder Podcaster seinen Lebensunterhalt verdienen kann und auf bisherige Erfahrungen zurückblicken.

gs -sDEVICE=pswrite -dNOCACHE -sOutputFile=nofont-MyScore.ps -q -dbatch -dNOPAUSE MyScore.pdf -c quit
Now you can open the PS file in Illustrator and all fonts will be converted to paths that can be manipulated like any other path in Illustrator.
