George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), Man and Superman (1903) "Maxims for Revolutionists"
You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), "Back to Methuselah" (1921), part 1, act 1
Don't let fear convince you that you're too weak to have courage. Fear is the opportunity for courage, not the proof of cowardice.
McCain, John (2004, September). In Search of Courage: Finding the Courage Within You. FastCompany, 51-56.
In the search for character and commitment, we must rid ourselves of our inherited, even cherished biases and prejudices. Character, ability and intelligence are not concentrated in one sex over the other, nor in persons with certain accents or in certain races or in persons holding degrees from some universities over others. When we indulge ourselves in such irrational prejudices, we damage ourselves most of all and ultimately assure ourselves of failure in competition with those more open and less biased.
J. Irwin Miller, Chairman of the Board (1951-1977), Cummins Inc. From 1983 letter about diversity at the company.

CFP - Blogtalk Reloaded
Following the international success of BlogTalk 1.0 and 2.0, Blogtalk Reloaded is expanding its focus to Social Software, while remaining committed to the diverse cultures, practices and tools of our emerging networked society. The conference is designed to maintain a sustainable dialog between developers, innovative scholars who study social software, users in corporate and educational settings, and the general community of users.
We invite you to submit a proposal for presentation at the conference. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- form and consequences of emerging social software practices
- social software in an enterprise/educational environment
- political impact of social software
- applications, protoypes, concepts, standards
Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the conference, audiences will come from different fields of practice and will have different professional backgrounds. We strongly encourage proposals to bridge these cultural differences and be understandable for all groups alike.
Along those lines we will offer 3 different tracks.
- academic
- developer
- cases/practitioner reports
For developers, the conference is a great opportunity to fly ideas and prototypes in front of a distinguished audience of peers, to discuss, to link-up and to learn.
Please send your submission along with some personal info - as a plain email text (no html our automatic processing will not accept html-mails or attachments) - to call@blogtalk.net. You will receive a confirmation of our receiving your submission within 3 working days.
- Submission deadline is April 1, 2006
- Length: not more than 500 words
- Timeline and important Dates:
- Proposal submission deadline: April 1st, 2006
- Notification of acceptance or rejection: June 15th, 2006
- Paper version due: August 31st, 2006
- Presentations and abstracts on website due: September 27th, 2006
- The conference will be held from Oct.2-3, 2006
We will work hard to endow a fund for supporting travel costs. As soon as we review all of the papers we will be able to announce more details.
