Plenty of Free Parking for Ladas at the Bazaar #6

Closed lpmi-13 closed 6 years ago

lpmi-13 commented 9 years ago

Using the paradigm of Cathedrals vs Bazaars, this talk will focus on the current state of language learning applications and how they tackle the problem by creating a few complex things (Ferraris) when a focus on creating lots of simple combinable things (Ladas) might be better.

As an example, the task of "writing a research article" is similar to "creating a website" in that they are both very easy to state, but much more complex to actually carry out, with a large subset of mini-tasks requiring competency before the larger task can be accomplished well.

This will mostly be a big picture/inspirational talk with a call to arms for all interested!

lpmi-13 commented 9 years ago

sounds good! Should definitely have at least one working demo by then

spikeheap commented 9 years ago

Great! If you want more time then we could shoot for the 18th of May?

lpmi-13 commented 9 years ago

16th March suits me perfectly!
