			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dyma&#8217;r fideo o fy sesiwn Fflachio&#8217;r Iaith i&#8217;w wylio eto ac eto!</p>
<p><iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/36073632?title=0&#038;byline=0&#038;portrait=0" width="510" height="287"></iframe></p>
<p>(Yn y fideo dw i&#8217;n sôn am rhedeg Android ar <a href="http://termau.org/#efelychydd">efelychydd</a> Eclipse ar dy gyfrifiadur. Dylet ti chwarae gydag <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/">Eclipse</a> oes os diddordeb gyda ti.)</p>
<p>Dyma beth ddysgais i:</p>
<ul></ul>
<ul>
<li>Mae&#8217;n bwysig iawn i ailadrodd y Rheol Dau Droed, sef os wyt ti eisiau gadael unrhyw bryd dylet ti adael. O&#8217;n i&#8217;n gwybod oedd y pwnc yn niche felly gwnes i atgoffa pobol ar y dechrau.</li>
<p>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Mae&#8217;n bosib gwneud sesiwn Hacio&#8217;r Iaith heb unrhyw baratoad. Ac mae lle i sesiynau ymarferol amlgyfrannog.  Baddiel and Skinner Unplanned yn hytrach na Christmas Lectures.</li>
<p>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Mae&#8217;r fformat sgrin + cyflwynydd + cynulleidfa yn creu disgwyliadau i ryw raddau. Cawson ni lot o help a chyfranogiad ond efallai bydd e&#8217;n haws i greu awyrgylch neis gyda strwythur&#8217;agored&#8217;, e.e. cylch o seddau. Diolch i bawb am ddod a chyfrannu!</li>
<p>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Dw i wedi bod yn rhan o Hacio&#8217;r Iaith ers y dechrau, tri cynhadledd a sesiynau mewn Chapter ayyb, dw i&#8217;n hapus i ddweud bod i erioed wedi darparu &#8216;darlith traddodiadol&#8217;! Er bod darlith traddodiadol yn hollol iawn dw i&#8217;n gweithio mewn ffordd gwahanol.</li>
<p>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Cyn i mi ddechrau tro nesaf dylwn i dreulio tri neu bedwar munud i baratoi&#8217;r stafell i annog cyfranogiad. Er enghraifft ambell waith mae&#8217;n well i fod yng nghanol y stafell gyda dwysgrin &#8211; un mewn gliniadur ac un allanol i ddangos y sgrin i bobol gyferbyn.</li>
<p>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Mae gyda phobol lot i&#8217;w gyfrannu, yn enwedig y pobol &#8216;technegol&#8217;. Ond ar hyn o bryd mae rhai ohonyn nhw yn eithaf distaw, efallai dydyn nhw ddim yn teimlo digon hyderus i fentro sesiwn? Neu ydyn nhw eisiau mwy o anogaeth i ffeindio pwnc diddorol? Ar y cyfan roedd y cynrychioliad o bobol yn eithaf da: dynion a benywod, pob oedran, pynciau a diddordebau gwahanol, ayyb. Tra bod Hacio&#8217;r Iaith yn ymestyn i bobol o bob arbenigaeth (ac yn croesawu tips am sut i fod yn gyfartal) mae angen cofio a chefnogi&#8217;r gîcs. Efallai bydd sesiynau niche iawn yn syniad.</li>
<p>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Tra bod i&#8217;n siarad dw i&#8217;n symud fy mreichiau eithaf lot. Mae angen ail-asesu effeithiolrwydd y dull yma yn sicr.</li>
<p>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>O safbwynt symudol roedden ni&#8217;n methu rhedeg yr ap Helo Byd ar ffôn (yn hytrach na chyfrifiadur). Felly roedd y sesiwn yn fethiant! Paid ag ofni methiant.</li>
<p>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Y term <a shape="rect" href="http://termau.org/#string">llinyn</a><br />

<p><br clear="none"></br><br />
 (yn y cyd-destun meddalwedd).<br />
<br />
<br clear="none"></br>
</li>
<p>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Mae dal galw am Android Cymraeg! Mae&#8217;r system yn enfawr ond dylai fe fod yn bosib gyda chyd-weithredu. Gwnaf i drio gosod system cyfieithu hawdd ar-lein (gydag XML, schemas ac ati yn y cefndir yn saff).</li>
<p>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Mae galw am wybodaeth hygyrch am sgwennu cod &#8211; rhyw fath o gwrs byr am ddim ar-lein fel <a shape="rect" href="http://www.codecademy.com">Codeacademy</a><br />

<br clear="none"></br><br />
<br clear="none"></br><br />
<br clear="none"></br></p>
<p><br clear="none"></br><br />
? Wrth gwrs dw i&#8217;n meddwl am rhywbeth yn Gymraeg gyda chynnwys brodorol. Mae&#8217;n bwysig, hyn yn oed, i fabwysiadu pethau yn Gymraeg er mwyn llifo trwy&#8217;r sgwrs a phobol Cymraeg a newid yr &#8216;agenda&#8217;.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Diolch i Ifan am <a href="http://quixoticquisling.com/2011/02/meddyliau-am-golwg360-newydd-sylwadau-dolenni/comment-page-1/#comment-65535">ei sylw ar fy nghofnod diwethaf</a>. Dw i wedi copi&#8217;r sylw. Rydyn ni&#8217;n siarad am rywbeth cyffredinol a phwysig ar y we Gymraeg, haeddu cofnod ar wahan. Darn o&#8217;r sylw:</p>
<blockquote><p>Mae hynny’n bwysig wrth gwrs ond mae yna berygl gyda gwefan Cymraeg eich bod chi’n mynd i niche o fewn niche.</p>
<p>Er engraifft, fe allen i dreulio adnoddau ac amser ar greu a chynnal  gwefan bysgota neu wyddbwyll yn Gymraeg.  Fe fyddai yna lond dwrn o  bobol wrth eu bodd ac yn ei ddefnyddio’n selog. Ond fe fyddet ti’n  darparu gwasanaeth ar gyfer cynulleidfa bach o fewn cynulleidfa sydd  eisoes yn fach. Os nad ydi gwefan chwaraeon Cymraeg y BBC yn gallu denu  digon o ddefnyddwyr i gyfiawnhau ei fodolaeth, ti’n gweld y broblem sydd  gyda ni.</p></blockquote>
<p>Dw i&#8217;n gallu gweld y broblem yn sicr, dw i wedi bod yn profi mathau   gwahanol o gynnwys niche yn Gymraeg ar y we am flwyddyn a hanner. Heblaw am eithriadau bach, mae&#8217;r rhan   fwyaf wedi bod yn uniaith Gymraeg, e.e. ar <a href="http://ytwll.com">ytwll.com</a>, ar <a href="http://haciaith.com">haciaith.com</a>.</p>
<p>Eisiau dysgu mwy felly hoffwn i ofyn y cwestiynau yma:</p>
<ol>
<li>Ydy&#8217;r enghraifft BBC Chwaraeon yn ddigonol yma? Dw i ddim yn gyfarwydd iawn arno fe ond ydy&#8217;r cynnwys yn ddigon unigryw gyda digon o &#8220;hyrwyddo&#8221; priodol? Faint yw &#8220;cynnwys unieithog&#8221;?</li>
<li>Mae&#8217;r enghreifftiau pysgota a gwyddbwyll yn dda a pherthnasol yma. Bydd gwyddbwyll yn wych! (Gyda llaw newydd ffeindio <a href="http://www.gwyddbwyll.com">gwyddbwyll.com</a>). I unrhyw un sy&#8217;n meddwl am bostio pethau ar y we: pam ydyn ni&#8217;n siarad am <em>gwefannau llawn</em>? Beth am ddechrau gyda chofnod neu fideo neu awdio neu rhywbeth fel arbrawf, efallai ar dy wefan neu efallai ar y we unrhyw le? (Mae lot o gwmniau yn trio arbrofion arloesol ar hyn o bryd, e.e. mae <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/local">Guardian Local</a> yn arbrawf yn gynnwys <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/cardiff">Caerdydd</a>,  Leeds a Chaeredin. Efallai rydyn ni eisiau trio rhywbeth bach yn  hytrach na tri blog llawn gyda staff llawn amser ond mae&#8217;r cysyniad yn  debyg. Profi am brofiad.)</li>
<li>Sut allen ni cynnig rhywbeth yn Gymraeg sy&#8217;n well nag unrhyw beth arall arlein &#8211; yn unrhyw iaith? Cwestiwn anodd ond efallai rydyn ni&#8217;n cystadlu gyda Saesneg mwy a mwy nawr. Gawn ni trio technoleg newydd, e.e. beth am ail-chwarae gem gwyddbwyll Kasparov neu pwy bynnag cam-wrth-gam gyda sylwebaeth Cymraeg yn HTML5? <a href="http://htmlchess.sourceforge.net/demo/example.html">Efallai ail-ddefnyddio meddalwedd cod agored.</a></li>
<li>Beth yw llwyddiant? Beth yw llwyddiant yn dy ddiffiniad a chyd-destun? Nifer o ymwelwyr yn ystod yr un diwrnod? Neu yr un mis neu yr un flwyddyn? Neu presennoldeb yr iaith Gymraeg ar y we, dylanwad a chodi disgwyliadau?</li>
</ol>
<p>Dw i ddim yn siŵr am unrhyw ateb fan hyn ond croeso i ti gadael sylw.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yn ôl y dyfeisiwr ac awdur Americanaidd <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Hillis">Danny Hillis</a>, technoleg yw “popeth sy ddim yn gweithio eto”. Mae hyn yn fewnwelediad defnyddiol &#8211; roedd dyfeisiau fel y car, y teledu, y gadair a’r pâr o esgidiau yn newydd yn y gorffennol. Gwnaethon nhw lwyddo pan roedden nhw yn rhan o gefndir ein bywydau.</p>
<p>Ar draws y byd, mae pobol yn trwsio technoleg ar gyfer eu hanghenion. Oni bai ein bod yn darganfod ffyrdd o addasu technoleg i’n cynorthwyo ni, gall barhau i fod yn ddiffygiol. Mewn rhai achosion, gall hyd yn oed weithio yn ein herbyn.</p>
<p>Yn Nghymru, dw i’n credu gallwn ddylanwadu’r defydd technoleg ar gyfer amcanion adeiladol, ar gyfer creadigrwydd, ar gyfer busnes, ar gyfer addysg, ar gyfer democratiaeth a llawer o ddefnyddiau eraill. Dyw hyn ddim yn digwydd ar ei ben ei hun, dyw’r cyfleoedd yma ddim yn codi os rydyn ni’n gadael y gwaith i bobol eraill.</p>
<p>Dw i’n cyd-drefnydd o <a href="http://haciaith.com">Hacio&#8217;r Iaith</a>, cymuned o bobol sy’n brwdfrydedd am yr iaith Gymraeg a’i ddefnydd o fewn technoleg ac ar y we. Rydyn ni’n cynnwys cyfryngis, rhaglenwyr meddalwedd, pobol creadigol, academyddion, blogwyr, ymgyrchwyr, gwneuthurwyr polisi a dylunwyr.</p>
<p>Rydyn ni’n grwp amrywiol o bob oedran a chefndir. Dydyn ni ddim yn rhannu’r un safbwynt, personaliaeth neu bwyslais ond yn aml dw i’n ffeindio fy nghydweithwyr Hacio’r Iaith i fod yn arbrofol, chwareus, chwilfrydig, di-ofn &#8211; ac agored.</p>
<p>Rydyn ni’n dathlu’r nodweddion yma drwy fabwysiadu’r fformat <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcamp">BarCamp</a> ar gyfer ein “anghynhadledd”. Rydyn ni’n trefnu’r anghynhadledd Hacio’r Iaith nesaf &#8211; bydd e’n cael ei gynnal ym Mhrifysgol Aberystwyth mis yma.</p>
<p>Bydd y gynhadledd yn wahanol i gynadleddau traddodiadol oherwydd y diffyg areithiau gan sêr drud. Mae’r rhaglen i gyd yn cael ei chreu a datblygu gan y bobol, casgliad unigryw o bobol mewn amser a gofod. Yn yr wythnosau sy’n arwain at y digwyddiad, mae pobol yn cael eu annog i gofrestru’u enwau, awgrymu sesiynau a mesur cefnogaeth. Mae hyn yn digwydd ar y we, <a href="http://hedyn.net/wici/Hacio%27r_Iaith_-_Ionawr_2011">ar ein wici</a>. Ar fore’r digwyddiad, mae’r rhaglennu yn parhau ar siart gyda nodiadau gludiog.</p>
<p>Bydd trafodaethau, cyflwyniadau, areithiau a sesiynau ymarferol. Er enghraifft, ar hyn o bryd, mae pobol yn <a href="http://hedyn.net/wici/Hacio%27r_Iaith_-_Ionawr_2011#Rhaglen_y_dydd">cynllunio</a> trafodaeth am deledu amlblatfform, sesiwn ymarferol i ddatblygu rhyngwyneb Cymraeg i ffonau Android ac efallai trafodaeth am theatr a thechnoleg. Bydd sesiynau ychwanegol yn digymell ac yn cael ei cynllunio yn ystod coffi neu ginio.</p>
<p>Mae unrhyw sesiwn angen dau o bobol fel isafrif &#8211; mae sesiwn fach yn iawn os yw’n ddefnyddiol a diddorol i’r bobol sy’n dod. Maen nhw’n gallu penderfynu’r polisi ar gyfer rhannu, ond fel arfer mae mor agored â phosib, gydag enwau’n cael eu rhoi i bod dyfyniad. Mae’r wybodaeth a thrafodaethau’n cael eu dogfennu a’u rhannu drwy fideo, lluniau, cofnodion blog a nodiadau ar y wici.</p>
<p>Dechreuodd y fformat BarCamp yn y maes technoleg, ond does dim yn rhwystro pobl rhag cynnal; mathau eraill o BarCamp. O gwmpas y byd mae’r fformat wedi mynd o dechnoleg i addysg, meddygaeth, celfyddydau, gwleidyddiaeth a grwpiau ffydd hefyd. Fel arfer mae mynediad yn rhad neu am ddim.</p>
<p>Fel fformat, mae’n ddelfrydol os wyt ti eisiau cael criw o bobol amrywiol at ei gilydd heb unrhyw uchelgais i ddechrau “busnes cynadleddau”. Does neb yn berchen ar y digwyddiad &#8211; felly mewn ffordd, mae pawb yn perchen arno fe.</p>
<p>Dw i’n credu bod rhannu yn llawer mwy buddiol na gwybodaeth berchnogol. Edrycha at y we: mae gwybodaeth yn doreithiog. Dolenni, sgwrs agored, meddalwedd cod agored, trwyddedu agored fel Comins Creadigol, maen nhw i gyd yn tyfu. Bydd cwmnïau yn ennill trwy gymhwysiad ac enw da yn hytrach na thrwy ddulliau o gyfrinachedd masnachol.</p>
<p>Os rydyn ni’n gallu cymhwyso fe, bydd rhannu teclynnau a gwybodaeth yn newyddion da i’r Gymraeg fel iaith fechan &#8211; a strategaeth iachus am y dyfodol.</p>
<p>Mae Hacio’r Iaith yn digwydd ar 29ain o fis Ionawr ym Mhrifysgol Aberystwyth. Mynediad am ddim ond <a href="http://hedyn.net/wici/Hacio%27r_Iaith_-_Ionawr_2011#Pwy_Sy.27n_Dod.3F">cofrestrwch gan arwyddo eich enw ar y wici</a>. Mae nifer cyfyngedig o lefydd ar ôl ar hyn o bryd.</p>
<p>Diolch: <a href="http://gwenu.com">Rhys Wynne</a> am help gyda&#8217;r cofnod hwn.</p>
<p><em>This blog post is about the Hacio&#8217;r Iaith unconference in Aberystwyth on Saturday. <a href="http://www.clickonwales.org/2011/01/hacking-the-language/">Click on Wales published an English language version of this post today.</a></em></p>

<p>A group of us did a free, open event in Aberystwyth on 30th January 2010 called <a href="http://haciaith.com">Hacio&#8217;r Iaith</a>. It was fun. I learned things. It was based on the BarCamp format. You can use the format to have a conference on any subject and many people do. Some people call it an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference">unconference</a>.</p>
<p>The reasons we organised an offline event should be obvious. A chance to shake hands and consume body aroma content, the only remaining experiences not yet available online.</p>
<p>Around <a href="http://hedyn.net/hacio_r_iaith/ionawr2010#pobol">40 people</a> came. That number seemed about right for a one-day event, I didn&#8217;t even get a chance to talk to everyone properly.</p>
<p>One of the main aims was to get people together to talk about shared interests, so on that basis it was almost bound to be a success after the second or third person said they&#8217;d come along. When you know people will get talking there is no need for anxiety, even if the wifi access goes down (it was fine actually), the food doesn&#8217;t arrive (it did and was splendid &#8211; thanks chefs and <a href="http://haciaith.com/noddwyr-sponsors/">sponsors</a>!) or the firewall doesn&#8217;t allow FTP access (unfortunately it didn&#8217;t, but that was a mere glitch and chance to learn something).</p>
<p>Keywords will be in bold here because this is getting long&#8230;</p>
<p>The offline component of the event is finished. For a few reasons it&#8217;s a pity you can&#8217;t access big chunks of the event now. You really had to be there maaan. Saying all that, it&#8217;s still open to an extent because we purposefully made it a hybrid of offline and online. Several web-based <strong>backchannels</strong> existed before and during the meet-up: <a href="http://hedyn.net/hacio_r_iaith/ionawr2010">the event wiki</a>, <a href="http://haciaith.com">the group blog</a>, <a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=haciaith">Twitter messages</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=hacio%27r+iaith&amp;search_type=&amp;aq=f">videos on YouTube</a> and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=haciaith&amp;w=all">photos/images on Flickr</a>.</p>
<p>These backchannels persist afterwards, which increases the value of doing the event for years to come. That goes for potentially everyone on the web (especially now that <a href="http://google.com/translate">Google Translate</a> can get you the gist of the Welsh in several other languages).</p>
<p>These are some of the benefits of the <strong>social</strong> web. These benefits are seldom discussed by the mainstream media, incidentally!</p>
<p>I want other people to see all this stuff if they search for related things. I know there are other people who attended who want it to have an influence. On that note, <a href="http://www.union-kilo.de/postman.html">not every problem is a problem of information</a>. (That&#8217;s the second Neil Postman link in this post. Consider that chin thoroughly stroked.) But some problems <em>are</em> related to information. For instance, taking abundant information and converting it into something useful is something we can step up. It&#8217;s something that could benefit <strong>Wales</strong>, where I live and most of the attendees live.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to see more BarCamps, unconferences and so on happening in Wales. Incidentally that&#8217;s part of the reason why I&#8217;ve chosen to write this in English, to give the non-Welsh speaking people in Wales some access to the proceedings. And other people around the world who might be interested.</p>
<p>As far as I know, Hacio&#8217;r Iaith on Saturday was the first BarCamp-style event to be conducted in <strong>Cymraeg</strong>, the Welsh language. The subject matter? Web and technology as it relates to the Welsh language. Those things &#8211; language and subject matter &#8211; don&#8217;t necessarily follow. Naturally people discuss their language in their own language. But a group could organise a BarCamp about any subject and do it in the Welsh language. Absolutely any subject.</p>
<p>For nearly everyone who attended it&#8217;s their number one language for everything they do daily and has been for as long as they remember.</p>
<p>I can only talk about the sessions I attended. Everything is from my perspective!</p>
<p>The first session was about tools for <strong>Welsh learners</strong>, including a website and series of online lessons called <a href="http://www.saysomethinginwelsh.com">Say Something In Welsh</a> build with phpBB, an iPhone application called <a href="http://www.aber.ac.uk/aberonline/en/archive/2009/08/au14109/">Learn Welsh</a> and some ideas for mobile app &#8220;flashcards&#8221; suggested by a tutor. We talked about the conflicting difficulties of making apps available to all mobile users, even if they are web-based apps running on mobile. I asked Aran from Say Something In Welsh a question about open content and search engines. The site is a private &#8220;walled garden&#8221; for a number of reasons related to maintaining a community of learners, but it&#8217;s free to register to join. (<strong>UPDATE: </strong>See Aran&#8217;s <a href="http://quixoticquisling.com/2010/02/hacior-iaith-what-it-is-why-it-is-and-what-happened-monster-post/#comment-9151">comment</a> below for more about this.)</p>
<p>I then stayed for the <strong>Metastwnsh</strong> podcast recording and live web stream. <a href="http://www.metastwnsh.com">Metastwnsh</a> is a web and technology blog with several contributors. There was some discussion of gadgets and some jokes. My favourite part was a discussion of how the language choice of our online posts and conversations can differ from that of our offline choice. In particular, Twitter was cited as an example of a tool which first language Welsh speakers sometimes opt to use in English, for many reasons &#8211; some understandable. It was suggested that perhaps in some cases they file it under an &#8220;English language part of their brain&#8221;, alluding to the possibility that bilingual people associate some spaces or platforms with specific languages. So the effect of the platform is not necessarily &#8220;neutral&#8221;, or doesn&#8217;t remain that way. (I&#8217;ve been building a <a href="http://www.twitter.com/carlmorris/cymraeg">list of Welsh speakers on Twitter</a>, including learners. Every person who is on the list can see the list and access all the other members of the list. It&#8217;s a way of strengthening the network and thereby, potentially, the impulse to post in the Welsh language should people wish to do so. Linguistic diversity leads to other forms of diversity and improves the internet as a whole in my opinion.)</p>
<p>I popped next door to catch the very end of a presentation about <a href="http://llennatur.com">Llen Natur</a>, a website about wildlife and nature. It has a dictionary of species, maps and photos.</p>
<p>Free lunch was not something I had insisted on, especially as it increases the admin for such events. But <a href="http://twitter.com/nwdls">Rhodri ap Dyfrig</a> was convinced it was possible and fixed up catering and covered it with money from some of the sponsors. For me it was a valuable part of the event, meeting some very talented people I&#8217;d only previously known online.</p>
<p>It was my turn next &#8211; purely because I&#8217;d volunteered to speak, as had everyone. So the title was &#8220;<em>FyWordPressCyntaf.com &#8211; does dim angen profiad o flaen llaw</em>&#8221; (which translates as MyFirstWordPress.com &#8211; no previous experience necessary). I wanted to talk about <strong>WordPress</strong> as a blogging and general site CMS, downloadable from <a href="http://wordpress.org">wordpress.org</a> with no coding necessary. It gave me the chance to talk about free software (unambiguously rendered as <em>meddalwedd rydd</em> in Welsh, free software as in freedom) with a bit about how localised code and themes are available for Welsh (but, as I also added, we can always do with more). Unlike the audience, Welsh isn&#8217;t my first language so I had a job explaining some of the concepts. I achieved my main objective though, which was to get a bare bones installation of WordPress <a href="http://hedyn.net/prawf/wordpress/">running</a> to show how quick and easy it can be.</p>
<p>In hindsight it was a little ambitious to shoehorn the mash-up/hack session into the event plan. On the day I ended up putting my talk in the <strong>hack session</strong>, which came just to mean practical session. Even <a href="http://wiki.wordcampuk.tonyscott.org.uk/WordCamp_UK_2009">WordCamp</a>, which I attended last year, was spread over two days &#8211; allowing space for team building, pre-planning and the hack session on the second day. At Hacio&#8217;r Iaith, I think the initiative and creativity of the attendees to do the hacks could have been there, as well as the capability. But in a day already packed with presentations and to some an unfamiliar format, it became too much to expect. Next time some more practical stuff would be good. I do think a dedicated hack event could work.</p>
<p>We had a quick discussion about making online <strong>how-to videos</strong> and what subjects to cover. There is plenty of room for how-to videos in Welsh, especially showing non-geeks and normal people how to get the best use of software and the web. The <a href="http://haciaith.com/2010/01/30/sesiwn-ochr-ar-greu-fideos-how-to/">ideas we generated</a> are available to take.</p>
<p>Finally I went to a session on the game <strong>Civilization IV</strong> and its <a href="http://haciaith.com/tag/civilization-iv/">unofficial Welsh translation</a>, using game mods. Welsh translation of open source games like <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-cym/2010-January/000023.html">OpenTTD</a> also came up. I&#8217;m not a big gamer but it gave me some ideas&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you a coder in the UK? Do you fancy tinkering around with government data for the potential good of the public?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an early Christmas present.</p>
<p>Visit <a href="http://data.gov.uk">data.gov.uk</a> and it will bounce you on to a Google Group. Request to join the group and introduce yourself. You might get access to the developer preview of the site &#8211; like I just did!</p>
<p>This might be old news to some as it seems to have gone live on 30th September according to the site blog. I guess I assumed it was for &#8220;special&#8221; people, so that&#8217;s a lesson learned. If you see an interesting door, knock it.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m still finding my way around. There are 113 datasets including census data, ASBOs, air quality, crime, fear of crime, work, health, motoring, (un)employment, police and it goes on.</p>
<p>I think at least some of this data has been already available in different places. But having it linked to from one place is a good idea.</p>
<p>Pick a subject and there are always people out there who are cleverer than you. That&#8217;s another lesson, or rather, reminder I get from the web. Whatever you think about the UK government, inviting people to build things with a resource like this is at least a way of acting on that lesson.</p>
<p>The open invite encompasses not only a central website, but actually having exportable data formats and clear conditions for data re-use. I am not a lawyer but the <a href="http://blogs.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/digitalengagement/file.axd?file=2009/9/Terms+and+Conditions.pdf">terms and conditions</a> seem fairly clear. Generally I don&#8217;t like the phrase &#8220;Crown Copyright&#8221; if it&#8217;s something that was gathered using public money, but it&#8217;s apparently there to ensure attribution and accurate use of the data. I thought copyright couldn&#8217;t be applied to numerical data? Perhaps someone out there can explain.</p>
<p>The preview is for load testing purposes, according to the welcome email:</p>
<blockquote><p>Since the appointment of Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Professor Nigel Shadbolt in June we have been working on how to pull together a single point of access for government data. We&#8217;ve talked to a range of people, and looked at what others have done, and over the summer we have built a first version, with a combination of open source and re-using of existing facilities such as CKAN.</p>
<p>We would now like your help over the next weeks and months to make it better &#8211; and more useful for you as developers.  We would like feedback on how the site should work, what developer support facilities and tools there would be useful to you, and what further data should be freed up for re-use.</p>
<p>We&#8217;d also be interested in your ideas on how the data can be used &#8211; and if you can build some more great applications with what is available now this will help the drive to free up more over the months ahead.</p>
<p>At this preview stage, we are manually approving membership requests so that we check how the load on our server scales as we ramp up our service.</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m currently looking at census data for Welsh language ability, collected during the 2001 census. It might lead to <a href="http://quixoticquisling.com/2009/10/hacior-iaith/">ideas for our Hacio&#8217;r Iaith event</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Hacio&#8217;r Iaith is a new and exciting event where we will explore how technology applies to, around and through the Welsh language. That means idea sharing, APIs, mash-ups, localisation, machine translation and so on. The event will be part hack day and part BarCamp (both are well established templates for events worldwide). There will be stuff for beginners as well as geeks. Our pencilled date for Hacio&#8217;r Iaith is Saturday 30th January 2010 in Aberystwyth, which is to be confirmed. (I&#8217;ll update this post if that changes.) Entry will be very cheap. In Welsh, &#8220;yr iaith&#8221; means &#8220;the language&#8221; and &#8220;Hacio&#8217;r Iaith&#8221; means &#8220;hack the language&#8221;.<br />
</em></p>
<p>Dw i&#8217;n cyd-trefnu Hacio&#8217;r Iaith. Gallet ti cyfrannu hefyd.</p>
<p>Beth yw Hacio&#8217;r Iaith? Darllena&#8217;r <a href="http://metastwnsh.com/hacior-iaith-y-gofnod-gynta/">cofnod gyntaf ar Metastwnsh</a> gan Rhodri ap Dyfrig. Mae drysau yn agor iawn.</p>
<p>Gobeithio bydd pobol yn deall pam dyn ni&#8217;n wneud y digwyddiad. Dyn ni&#8217;n trefnu Hacio&#8217;r Iaith achos dyn ni&#8217;n caru&#8217;r iaith a dyn ni&#8217;n hoffi thechnoleg <em>defnyddiol</em>. Dyn ni&#8217;n bwriadu i gael hwyl a datblygu pethau da ar yr un pryd.</p>
<p>Mae proses yn pwysig. Baswn i annog unrhyw un i dilyn y broses. Byddan ni rhannu pob manylyn. Dyn ni&#8217;n blogio a defnyddio&#8217;r <a href="http://hedyn.net/hacio_r_iaith">wici</a>.</p>
<p>Gallet ti ymuno&#8217;r digwyddiad a dysgu rhywbeth wrth gwrs. A rwyt ti&#8217;n gallu copi&#8217;r broses i wneud digwyddiad dy hun. Hoffen ni dangos bod e&#8217;n gorau i rhannu dy syniadau.</p>
<p>Dw i&#8217;n ffeindio rhywbeth yn aml. Pan dw i&#8217;n rhyddhau fy syniadau, dw i&#8217;n ffeindio pobol eraill ac adeiladu nhw gyda&#8217;n gilydd. Neu dw i&#8217;n ysbrydoli pobol eraill.</p>
<p>Dw i&#8217;n chwilio am &#8220;cystadleuaeth&#8221;. Dyma pam ro&#8217;n i&#8217;n dechrau blogio yn y Gymraeg. Ro&#8217;n i ddim yn gallu aros am blogiau newydd. Weithiau, dw i eisiau bod fel cwmni dillad chwareon. <em>Jyst gwnaf e</em>. Ha ha.</p>
<p>Es i i <a href="http://uk.wordcamp.org">WordCamp</a> yng Nghaerdydd blwyddyn yma. Daeth llawer o bobol ledled Prydain i drafod WordPress &#8211; bron pawb am eu gwaith. Mae fy nghefndir yw busnes a dw i&#8217;n meddwl bod llawer o gyfleoedd gyda ni yma. Basai&#8217;n gret i creu cyfleoedd am busnes newydd yn y dyfodol trwy pethau fel Hacio&#8217;r Iaith. Hoffwn i annog trafodaeth yn y gyfeiriad hon. Does dim rhaid i ni bod yn difrifol, gallen ni mwynhau&#8217;r sgwrs.</p>
