London, UK Developers from UK and beyond gathered this week in London at DEV8D, Developer Happiness Days. The event was organized by David Flanders and the JISC event committee, who are: Neil Chue- Hong, Ross Gardler, Andy McGregor, Owen Stephens, Paul Walk and Scott Wilson.
Read posts from the event about collective intelligence and how technology can help to access it, a five minute interview with Ross Gardler, Apache, Mark Dewey’s semantic search idea, more rapid ideas, a video of Peter Sefton’s lightning talk about focusing on something simple like making PDF documents more usable, all about “uber users” and several others.
I highly value the Happiness development in UK. According to an analysis conducted by International Institute of Management, America, one of the worlds most advanced countries, doesn’t seem to care much about GNH. With increasing life costs, economic demands, and social and work pressures, many Americans suffer from chronic stress, pain, anxiety, fear or anger. In fact, the US ranks as number 15 in population happiness. The time is now right to tackle this problem. For details read the following article composed by Med Yones, a global happiness consultant.
