To: P2P-Urbanism World Atlas <p2p-urbanism-world-atlas@googlegroups.com>


Hello, everyone,

Since we are talking about applying Alexander's theories in fields
other than architecture/urbanism (which is great to see!)...

I am exploring the ways in which this can be applied to the
construction of software, and in particular to user interfaces.  I
recently wrote an introductory chapter about this for a book about
free software ("open source"), and gave a presentation at the 2011
Desktop Summit in Berlin:

Chapter - http://people.gnome.org/~federico/misc/software-with-qwan.pdf

Presentation - http://people.gnome.org/~federico/docs/2011-Desktop-Summit/qwan/html/index.html

I'm happy to say that this presentation got a very good reception by
my peers in the free software community.  Feel free to share it
around; it is Creative-Commons licensed.

 Federico
