Last year I was part of a W3C working group about creating an metadata Schema for "Educational or Occupational Credentials". It was released to the world this week: https://schema.org/EducationalOccupationalCredential

An educational or occupational credential. A diploma, academic degree, certification, qualification, badge, etc., that may be awarded to a person or other entity that meets the requirements defined by the credentialer.

This week I ordered my copy of The Art of Community by Jono Bacon.

A few weeks ago I started reading Richard Florida's game-changing (profound? or controversial?) book, The Rise of the Creative Class.

Video introducing Ma.gnolia 2 from this year's Gnomedex conference:

In about 10 hours a group of likeminded folks will get together for good coffee and conversations with friends and strangers. We do this once a month at the Lake Eola Panera Bread.

Yes, I have yet another blog: this one is all about Drupal. Right now there are exactly 4 posts, but two of them came this week, so there may be an upturn in the posting over there. If anybody out there wants to write some tutorials, I'd be open to that.

This is a project I've been thinking about for a while, and I'd love to do a hack weekend to get this working sometime.

My Friends,

As you all know, I've done this Blogging Fringe thing for the past two years. Sadly, this year looks like I'll be pulled in more directions than ever before. I've been up until 2AM every night for weeks on end and I'm not sure when this will stop.

At the same time, I really love the opportunities the Fringe Festival presents to show off some great groups in Orlando and Internationally, and introduce the world to our potential.

I just finished reading Rent Girl
