References and Talks:

• “The Zeitgeist talk was inspirational. It gave me all sorts of ideas about how I would organize my system differently if I had more information about how I was using it. By collecting data on what the user is doing and when, Zeitgeist opens up the possibility of more adaptive user interface techniques, as well as simple and useful tools like a journal of activity.” Matt Zimmerman (Ubuntu CTO) (Source).
• “We had a series of really good discussions with the Zeitgeist team. Their work definitely has long-term implications for the Journal and they expressed interest in making their work relevant to our needs.” Walter Bender (Executive Director, Sugar Labs. Professor, MIT) (Source).
• “GNOME Zeitgeist, with its focus on pervasive search and integration, could be a great framework for sharing ambient information and workflow—lightweight collaboration with faraway teammates. In development within Zeitgeist is Teamgeist, which would add to Zeitgeist the ability to share certain data and events with teammates via Telepathy Tubes and Multi-User Chat. Teamgeist is in the early design and implementation stages, but it’s clear that Telepathy will give Zeitgeist an easy way to plug into real-time communication functionality.” Sumana Harihareswara (Manager at Collabora, Ltd.) (Source).
• “We are doing a lot of work with the Zeitgeist community, who incidentally have been absolutely awesome. [...] I wanted to thank them for being such a great community and for their real persistence. It’s difficult to change the way people think, and this is a community that has a clear vision and really has been pushing hard and we would like to support there, bring their work to Ubuntu and take it to the world. So a round of applause to the Zeitgeist guys.” Mark Shuttleworth (Ubuntu Foundation Chariman) (Source)
