Reza/Eberhard/all, A DevOps guy pointed this out on Twitter the other day. I recommended it to JCP PMO if they want to use a free and open source to check company registrations to see, if e.g. someone who claims to be an "Individual Member" is actually owner or shareholder of a company, etc. http://opencorporates.com/<https://3c.gmx.net/mail/client/dereferrer?redirectUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fopencorporates.com%2F&selection>
What makes this very interesting for DeviceMap is, that 1. It is commonly available, public and free information, yet, in this case there are of course also vendors around the world, offering either web services, books or DVDs, etc. with the same information for various cost levels (kind of like WURFL tries with the free, publicly available DEVICE and User Agent information[?]) 2. This portal seems to be maintained either by the community or at least a group of people, not so different from e.g. Wikimedia. There may be at least a few less unique device signatures and feature combinations than those 55 Mio. companies, but what this portal accomplished for a huge number of unique entries across even multiple different data sources, maybe we can find a more collaborative way for actual data entry and maintenance, too?[?] Werner On Mon, Jun 24, 2013 at 5:29 AM, eberhard speer jr. <[email protected]>wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Reza, > > Yep, consider them included. > > I would imagine (what with this being a Big religious weekend here in > Greece -- pentecost -- and me having to put in several 'actes de > presence' to keep the peace in the 'family' -- albeit being a staunch > atheist) the detailed results should be available by Thursday, Friday > at the latest.
