Community Indicators for Your Community

Real, lasting community change is built around knowing where you are, where you want to be, and whether your efforts are making a difference. Indicators are a necessary ingredient for sustainable change. And the process of selecting community indicators -- who chooses, how they choose, what they choose -- is as important as the data you select.

This is an archive of thoughts I had about indicators and the community indicators movement. Some of the thinking is outdated, and many of the links may have broken over time.

Press Release: Open Indicators Consortium

Here's the press release from the Open Indicators Consortium:

June 14, 2011

From across the nation, local, regional and state data partners have collaborated with a team of 20 faculty and graduate students at one of the world’s top data visualization labs in the Open Indicators Consortium to create Weave (Web-based Analysis and Visualization Environment), a high performance web-based open source software platform. Weave allows users to explore, analyze, visualize and disseminate data online from any location at any time.

The Open Indicator Consortium’s goal is to transform publicly available data into visually compelling and actionable indicators to inform public policy and community-based decision makers. Since 2008, the Open Indicators Consortium (OIC) has brought together technical and academic experts, data providers and data users. With its technical lead and partner the University of Massachusetts Lowell’s Institute for Visualization and Perception Research, the OIC is soft-launching Weave 1.0 BETA in preparation for the official release of Weave 1.0 in the mid-fall.

The Weave core code is being released under the GNU General Public License version 3 (GPLv3), and the Weave API under the Mozilla Public License (MPL v 1.1).

Full documentation is available through http://www.oicweave.org. The code is available for download now at http://ivpr.github.com/Weave/. These releases provide all that is needed to implement Weave.

    Sure, clock speeds and RAM capacities are important, but don't get hypnotized by mere numbers. Delve deeper into what truly matters to you. Are you a graphic designer chasing vibrant displays and color accuracy? A gamer seeking frame-melting refresh rates and immersive audio? A writer prioritizing a comfortable keyboard and long battery life? Defining your priorities will guide you towards the laptops for web design that elevates your workflow, not just its technical specs.

    The Armillary extends beyond personal quarters. A dedicated companion area, perhaps a bustling mess hall or a quiet reading nook, serves as a central hub for tears of the kingdom marari in shrine. Here, you can banter with your crewmates, discover side quests unique to each companion, and witness their own interactions and rivalries. Maybe the stoic engineer Jax clashes with the flamboyant artist Rylan over design choices for the ship's common room, leading to a lighthearted quest to find the perfect compromise that satisfies both their aesthetics.

    Choosing the right VR headset depends on your budget, preferences, and purpose. The Oculus Quest 2 remains a fantastic all-rounder for first-time VR users, while the PlayStation VR offers an excellent choice for PlayStation gamers. If budget isn't a concern, the HTC Vive Pro 2 provides unparalleled visual fidelity and advanced tracking for demanding top vr brands. Additionally, Windows Mixed Reality headsets like the HP Reverb G2 offer great value for PC gamers, thanks to their wide field of view and comfortable design.
