[Downtown Dharma Listserve] ISO dharma buddy housemates!

Mindfulness-based, dharma-inspired, intentional group house!

Looking to increase and strengthen your practice by living around others who can support you?  Opportunity for intentional living available January 1!  I am a friendly Buddhist/vipassana/mindfulness practitioner looking for two housemates to co-create a new, intentional community together in Kensington that is supportive of deepening our spiritual/meditative practices and also of having fun and feeling relaxed to be ourselves!

I see this as some configuration of regular sits together and a heathy balance of camaraderie, occasional meals, listening to dharma talks, contemplations, and time to ourselves. The home has been renovated and has A/C, washer/dryer (in basement), and a dishwasher. It's 1.1 miles (walking) from the Wheaton Metro (1.6 miles driving), 1 mile from the MARC station, close to historic Antique Row and the farmer's market, Rock Creek Park, and 495. Here is a link for the pictures: https://goo.gl/photos/F3SzsHiYLrLkNvJXA.

Each bedroom/bath is on its own floor. (I'll be on the top floor.) The two available bedrooms/baths are as follows:

- $850 - Bedroom plus office/den on the first floor with closets and full bath (with tub) across the hall.
- $925 - Fully-finished basement with bedroom, separate living room, full bath with shower, and separate entrance.

Utilities (gas, electric, water) would be split by all (approx. $100 each or less per month) plus sharing of WiFi bill. One-month security deposit.

There are three common areas: the living room, kitchen, and sun room.

If interested, please send me a message with a little bit about yourself and your interests in this type of living or call! Thanks!

[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Virtual meditation group

Hi,

We're starting a small, new meditation group, and wanted to invite folks to join us.

Meditating in a group is great, but it's more convenient to do from our homes (no travel time, etc). We'll be using a virtual sangha format, with meditations held over skype once per week.
Send me an email off-list if you're interested.

Rob

[Downtown Dharma Listserve] message from Trudy: Invite to Holiday Gathering for Dupont and Takoma Sanghas, Dec 12, 5-9pm

The evite wasn't sent directly to everyone in the sangha, so I'm pasting the text of the evite below. If you're able to join, please email Trudy directly (not me!) at tamgilkey@aol.com.

Have a mindful week ahead!



HOLIDAY GATHERING FOR BOTH SANGHAS

  • Trudy mitchell-gilkey
     
  • 301-461-4553



I was thinking ... as far as I know both sanghas have never really connected, so ... whaddaya say we connect and spread the love for the holidays?

If your last name ends with:

A-G: please bring vegetarian appetizers... 

H-M: please bring a main vegetarian dish...

N-S: please bring vegetarian sides...

T-Z: please bring vegetarian desserts...

The teachers will provide the cutlery, recyclable paper plates, cups and drinks.  Needless to say: this is a non-alcoholic gathering for dharma practitioners.

Please feel free to carpool or take the Takoma (red line) to the F4 or the 16 to Elm Avenue, exit Elm and take it to your left, veering right without entering the circle.  Take a right at Auburn and my house is the second on your left.

Please respondez sil vous plait!  

Blessings and love,

Trudy et al.

Re: [dcphp-dev] WordPress Calypso

Jason,

Another downside I can see of having it all hosted by WP is content
ownership. There are certainly use cases where you would want full
ownership of your content and not being handled by a 3rd party.

Re: [dcphp-dev] WordPress Calypso

This seems right to me, though I don't think it's necessarily going to not have an impact on the .org product. One of the big features they're promoting for the new .com is improved ability to manage all your self-hosted .org sites through the .com interface. I could imagine a future where they continue in that direction and the self-hosted product just becomes a thinner and thinner presentation layer for work that's actually being done more and more in the centralized service. Maybe the content even stops living in the self-hosted instance entirely and lives at wordpress.com instead.

That would actually strengthen the "easy install anywhere" pitch for the self-hosted product, since the more responsibilities they offload to the centralized service the fewer features would be needed on the web host to run the self-hosted software. If your content actually lives at the .com, for instance, they could drop MySQL as a dependency completely, which would make setup even easier and eliminate a whole category of common install/maintenance problems. At the furthest extreme, the hosting requirements for what is essentially an API-connected embed code are pretty minimal.

That approach would also make it easier for them to keep the entire WordPress community's software up to date in a world where people don't run updates, since they could just update the centralized service and be done with it. This would be similar to the way that Google has been loading more and more of what used to be thought of as Android into Google Play Services, so they can update it directly without having to push an update through the carriers.

The big downside of course would be that your "self-hosted" software now has gigantic dependencies on a centralized remote service you have no control over, which would mean fun times if/when that service ever get slow or goes down. But that's only a downside if you care about such things, and in my experience most people don't. And of course the more of the WordPress world they can move into the .com, the more the value of the .com goes up and the more opportunities they have to monetize you; which, yuck.

I doubt .org will ever see it integrated beyond as an optional extension to Jetpack, since the whole point of WP staying on ancient versions of PHP is that it's meant to be a dead-simple install on any host, and node is anything but a simple install on any host.

Re: [dcphp-dev] WordPress Calypso

Probably also wanted some realtime socket communication. And PHP -- ReactPHP and Ratchet not withstanding -- isn't a great language / interpreter for that. YMMV.
