[DRAFT-120008]. Mohsen BANAN. Responsibilities of the First Generation Internet Engineers .   September 2007. draft/DRAFT.
.pdf  | .ps  | .html  | .bib  ]

In raw American model of capitalism money rules all and the notion of a profession is limited to that of a revenue source for the individual.

That model leads to societies the likes of America.

However, elsewhere with humanity in the picture, society and professions have responsibilities towards each other.

Progress and change (e.g., technology) bring about situations where the welfare of the society may be adversely impacted unless the profession most intimate with that change acts on behalf of the society for the benefit of the society.

The Internet has had profound effects on societies and as an Internet engineer, I have certain responsibilities.

.pdf  | .ps  | .bib  ]

Khodzadegi (Self-Toxication) is the disease that inflicts a society when capitalism becomes not just the economic model, but also the societal model as well. It takes an Iranian Software Engineer to identify America as a terminally ill society and to identify the ramifications of propagation of the Western Intelectual Property Regime to the East. It may be too late for America, but there is an Eastern solution.

Many symptoms of the rotting of the American society have become more clear in the past several years. The absolute total failure of health care, lack of truth in mainstream American media, bogus invasions of sovereign land are some such symptoms. These in turn signal failures of the professions of Journalism, Medicine and Politics in America.

The ill that has brough these symptoms is that capitalism kills professions.

There are measures that members of each profession should take to defend their profession. The key measure that I focus on for my profession (Software Engineering) is the rejection of Intelectual Property regime.

Part of Khodzadgi

This article is part of tha series of Khodzadegi (Self-Toxxication) articles. The trust of Khodzadegi is that when the balance between self and society is overly in favor of the individual, as it is in America to the extreme, professions start to die.

Death of the American Academic

Academics play an important role in the well being of the society. Their role falls into two broad categories:
  • Teaching
  • Research
  • The process that has made the American economic model the American societal model has corrupted both teaching and research. I use my own school (and my son’s) – University of Washington – as an example and case study.

[DRAFT-120015]. Mohsen BANAN. The English Language Needs the Word Libre .   September 2007. draft/DRAFT.
.pdf  | .ps  | .html  | .bib  ]

In english "free" is confusing because when using the term "free", it sometimes mean free of charge, sometimes free of speech, and sometimes both !

So we want to encourage the use of the word "Libre" when the freedom aspect of "free" is intended.

[DRAFT-120016]. Mohsen BANAN. My Take on the 4 Stages of Life and Where Am I .   September 2007. draft/DRAFT.
.pdf  | .ps  | .html  | .bib  ]

Many cultures split life into 4 stages. With various variations these 4 stages are often labeled as:

  • 1- Student Stage -- 0-25 years old -- When we focus on Learing
  • 2- Worker Stage -- 25-45 years old -- When we are providers
  • 3- Stateman Stage -- 45-65 years old -- When we focus on giving back to the society (activism)
  • 4- Wiseman Stage -- 65--death -- When we give advice and mentor
  • My take on these 4 stages is that activism is a way of life, not a stage of life.

Au-delà de ses failles techniques et de procédure, nous pensons que le WAP représente une erreur fondamentale de conception de ce qui peut être réalisé en utilisant des téléphones cellulaires, et de ce que les utilisateurs vont vraiment vouloir faire avec leurs téléphones.

La messagerie mobile et la recherche de l'Internet mobile représentent deux formes très différentes d'activité de communications. La messagerie mobile signifie une possibilité d'envoyer et de recevoir des messages personnels, tandis que la recherche de l'Internet signifie une récupération d'information d'où que ce soit.

.pdf  | .ps  | .html  | .bib  ]

Libre Services are an extension of the principles of free software into the Internet services domain. They are Internet services that can be freely copied and reused by anyone. Any company or organization can reproduce and host any Libre Service, either for its own use, or for commercial or non-commercial delivery to others. The Libre Services model exists in relation to the proprietary Internet services model of AOL, MSN, Yahoo and Google, in an analogous way to how GNU/Linux exists in relation to Microsoft Windows.

In essence, the Libre Services model represents a proposed definition of the free software ideology within the services domain. We have articulated the Libre model fully in the form of an industry paper titled, "Libre Services: a non-proprietary model for delivery of Internet services," available online at http://www.freeprotocols.org/PLPC/100101.

The interested reader can choose to read more, or less, than this defining paper. For the reader wishing to read less, the key ideas are summarized in the form of a brief Executive Summary.

.pdf  | .ps  | .html  | .bib  ]

This document describes the long-term strategic vision for Neda's By* family of Libre Services. Additionaly it creates a framework for cooperative exection of that vision.

As By* Libre Services are copyleft and patent-free, the entire concept is positioned as an instance example for operation in the for-profit non-proprietary quadrant.

Our vision and plans are lofty, ambitious and extensive. We have spent considerable effort articulating our vision and inviting participation of others. All in one place our full vision as a collection of articles is publicly available in this document.

The basic underlying principles of our vision are these:

  • The correct model for software is the Free Software model
  • The correct model for Internet Services is the Libre Services model
  • The correct model for a coherent set of Libre Services is the By* unified model

By "correct" we mean that these models bring far greater benefits than their proprietary counterparts. The benefits we speak of are not a set of abstract idealizations, conceived without reference to the practical realities of the world. The Free and Libre models bring real and practical benefits to all relevant constituencies, including societal, engineering, and business.

The Free Software model is now well established as a viable reality, and is being energetically moved forward by others. Our strategic vision concerns the second underlying principle: the Libre Services model. Our goal is to establish Libre Services as a viable model for delivery of Internet Services, and eventually as the dominant model, worldwide.

The realization of this ambition has two major dimensions: public, and private.

  • The public dimension. In contrast to the proprietary services model, Libre Services are a commnunal public resource, not owned by anyone, freely available for use by society at large. Development and promotion of the general Libre Services model must therefore take place in a non-commercial, public context. The general Libre Services movement is being led by the Free Protocols Foundation (FPF), a non-profit organization dedicated to the maintenance of patent-free protocols and software. For more information visit the FPF website at: http://www.freeprotocols.org/
  • The private dimension. If Libre Services are to come into widespread usage they must be operated, delivered and supported for end users. In practical terms, this is something that must be done by service providers in a private, commercial context. Somewhere in all this there must be a business model that supports delivery of Libre Services to individual users.

    Neda Communications, Inc. is exercising leadership in the commercial arena. We have formulated an appropriate business model, and we are the first company to deploy and operate Libre Services in a commercial context. For more information visit the Neda website at: http://www.neda.com/

The public dimension of this initiative is fully described in a document called the Libre Services Manifesto, written and published by the FPF. This document is available at: http://www.libreservices.org/

The present document, titled Neda Strategic Direction Statement, provides a complete description of Neda's long-term business direction and strategy. Our strategy is based fundamentally on the Libre Services model, and therefore a complete understanding of our strategy also requires a complete understanding of the Libre Services model. This document therefore includes the Libre Services Manifesto as a subset. This document also includes a description of the commercial constructs Neda has built on top of the Libre Services model. Our goal is to provide in a single document everthing required to understand what we are doing.

This presentation document describes Libre Texting, a completely non-proprietary implementation of mobile texting.

Existing mobile texting implementations (telephony SMS, and mobile email solutions such as BlackBerry) are walled-garden implementations, closely protected by patents, copyright, trade secrecy, and proprietary protocols.

By contrast Libre Texting is implemented using public wireless spectrum, open networks, off-the-shelf generic hardware components, patent-free protocols, and 100% free software. The result is a mobile texting solution with no closed or proprietary dependencies. It can be implemented by any company or organization immediately, either for in-house use, or for commercial delivery to end users.

In addition to being a stand-alone application, Libre Texting is also part of something much bigger: it is the tactical spearhead for introduction of the By* Libre Services.

In this presentation we provide an analysis of the mobile texting medium, and enumerate all the components necessary to implement this as a truly Libre solution. These include: public wireless spectrum, wireless Internet, patent-free efficient texting protocols, open texting devices, free device software, and matching Internet service software. All these components exist and are in place today.

We have implemented a Libre solution using a Linux PDA (Nokia 810), local WiFi for wireless device connectivity, and our own Libre Texting message center. The result is complete, end-to-end Libre Texting functionality. In situations where local WiFi is not available, we use MURS public wireless spectrum for wide area connectivity. During the presentation we provide a live demonstration.

.pdf  | .bib  ]

This presentation document describes the deployment of By* Libre Services as a new model for delivery of Internet Services. The presentation covers three major topics:

  1. The Libre Services model
    Libre Services is a non-proprietary model for delivery of Internet services. Libre Services are an extension of the principles of free software into the Internet services domain. They are Internet services that can be freely copied and reused by anyone. Any company or organization can reproduce and host any Libre Service, either for its own use, or for commercial or non-commercial delivery to others. The Libre Services model exists in relation to the proprietary Internet services model of AOL, MSN, Yahoo and Google, in an analogous way to how GNU/Linux exists in relation to Microsoft Windows.

    A detailed description of the Libre concept is provided in the document titled, Libre Services: A non-proprietary model for delivery of Internet services, available at:
    http://www.freeprotocols.org/PLPC/100105

  2. The By* Services model
    Libre Services is a development and deployment model, but it says nothing about service functionality. By* (pronounced "by-star") is a specific implementation of the Libre model. By* is a unified services model, unifying and making consistent a large number of services that today exist in functional isolation. It is a coherent, integrated family of services, providing the user with a comprehensive, all-encompassing Internet experience.

    The By* family presently includes ByName, ByAlias, ByMemory and BySMB/ForSMB. In the works and coming soon are additional services for individuals (ByFamily, ByNumber), services for personal and business interaction (ByWhere, ByEvent, ByTopic, ByInteraction, ByLookup, ByHookup), and software distribution services (BySource, ByBinary).

  3. The business model
    Though the Libre Services model is non-proprietary, in practical terms service deployment must remain largely within the for-profit sector.

    The Libre deployment model represents a radical shift of the Internet Services industry from the for-profit, proprietary quadrant, to the for-profit, non-proprietary quadrant. In this space the entire software for an Internet service remains a communal public resource in the trust of the engineering profession, while service deployment is driven forward by the full force of for-profit commercial motivations.

    Therefore an essential component of the Libre deployment model is its commercial dimension. A coherent business model is required to motivate service deployment by commercial service providers. A complete description of the business model is provided in the form of an Open Business Plan titled, The By* Family of Libre Services: The future of the Internet Services industry, available at:

.pdf  | .ps  | .html  | .bib  ]

This document describes Libre Texting, a completely non-proprietary implementation of mobile texting.

Existing mobile texting implementations (telephony SMS, and mobile email solutions such as BlackBerry) are walled-garden implementations, closely protected by patents, copyright, trade secrecy, and proprietary protocols.

By contrast Libre Texting is implemented using public wireless spectrum, open networks, off-the-shelf generic hardware components, patent-free protocols, and 100% free software. The result is a mobile texting solution with no closed or proprietary dependencies. It can be implemented by any company or organization immediately, either for in-house use, or for commercial delivery to end users.

In addition to being a stand-alone application, Libre Texting is also part of something much bigger: it is the tactical spearhead for introduction of the By* Libre Services.

In this we provide an analysis of the mobile texting medium, and enumerate all the components necessary to implement this as a truly Libre solution. These include: public wireless spectrum, wireless Internet, patent-free efficient texting protocols, open texting devices, free device software, and matching Internet service software. All these components exist and are in place today.

We have implemented a Libre solution using a Linux PDA (Nokia 810), local WiFi for wireless device connectivity, and our own Libre Texting message center. The result is complete, end-to-end Libre Texting functionality. In situations where local WiFi is not available, we use MURS public wireless spectrum for wide area connectivity.

This project proposes Libre Texting: a new incarnation of the Mobile Email/Wireless Texting (henceforth ``Texting'') medium, based on the Free Software ideology. Today the Texting industry is dominated by the proprietary, walled garden model. Libre Texting aims to provide equivalent functionality to existing proprietary Texting solutions such as BlackBerry, but (a) based entirely on patent-free protocols and free software, (b) using any mobile Internet device, (c) wherever any type of wireless Internet connectivity is available. The proposed approach comprises five elements: (1) the inherent propagative power of the Free Software and end-to-end models, (2) an overlay network architecture, (3) a new set of messaging protocols, (4) a novel software architecture for Message Transfer Agent integration, and (5) a new software architecture for multiform device integration, based on Device-Resident End-MTA middleware. The proposed technology is highly synergistic with current industry dynamics, including: burgeoning recognition of the power of FOSS, ready availability of Linux-based mobile devices, and widespread Wi-Fi availability. Existing email protocols lack push-mode delivery, and bandwidth and power efficiency; the proposed new protocol profile corrects these shortcomings. The proposed research is to determine feasibility of all critical elements of this approach at large scale.

.pdf  | .ps  | .html  | .bib  ]

This document is a case study of NSF SBIR proposal number 0946146, titled "Libre Texting: A Reshaping of the Medium."

The proposal was submitted by Neda Communications, Inc. to the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program of the National Science Foundation (NSF) on June 9, 2009. The proposal was declined by the NSF. We received notification of this decision, along with the review comments, on November 02, 2009.

We examined the NSF review comments closely, subjecting them to our own internal analysis and discussion. Our conclusion is that they are almost entirely incorrect, representing a near-total lack of understanding by the reviewers of the substance of the proposal. Based on this and our subsequent interactions with the NSF, we also believe there are serious process issues regarding NSF evaluation of non-proprietary SBIR proposals such as ours.

We have established this case study to enable open consideration and discussion of these issues. The case study documents the entire trajectory of our proposal, from its initial submission through to its ultimate disposition. In particular, the case study includes our own counter-analysis of the NSF review comments. Here we provide point-by-point identification and clarification of the many technical errors and misstatements contained within the review comments.

The case study also includes references and pointers to all other relevant materials, including the original SBIR proposal, and the NSF review comments. These materials are web published and freely available online for examination by anyone.

Speech synthesis, the production of intelligible speech from computer data, is no longer a novelty. Text-to-speech products with unlimted vocabulary are available. Soon, these products will be incorporated into telephone based inquiry systems that will give users access to data-bases from any phone. These systems would enable ordinary telephone sets to function as limited computer terminals. To accomplish this, in addition to the ability of sending information to the user in the form of computer generated speech, the system should be capable of accepting the data transmitted by the telephone (entries on the keypad of a Touch-Tone telephone set).

The aim of this project has been to study possible approaches leading to implementation of a system that would enable a computer to fully use an ordinary telephone set. The six major functions associated with using the phone are:

  1. Picking-up the receiver
  2. Dialing a number
  3. Talking (transmitting information)
  4. Listening (receiving information)
  5. Hanging-up
  6. Recognizing the ring.

Lifting and replacing the receiver is accomplished by using a solenoid that mechanically controls the cradle switch. Dialing is implemented by generating DTMF signals on the voice channel. A Votrax SC-01 phoneme synthesizer enables the system to talk. A MSD 3201 CMOS DTMF decoder/receiver can provide the ability to accept information (listen). Ring recognition may be accomplished through the use of a sound switch.

By using the above mentioned functions, a computer could allow for the use of an ordinary telephone set as a limited terminal. Although not in the form of a %G�%@nal product and totaly operational, the outcome of this project demonstrates the feasability and the practicality of implementing means of interaction between a computer and an ordinary telephone set.

Libre Services are an extension of the principles of free software into the Internet services domain. They are Internet services that can be freely copied and reused by anyone. The Libre Services model exists in relation to the proprietary Internet services model of Facebook, Youtube, MSN, Yahoo and Google, in an analogous way to how GNU/Linux exists in relation to Microsoft Windows. b The concept of “Autonomous Libre Services” focuses on preserving privacy by providing control over information to users with safe guards of functional transparency, information portability and non-retention controls. The concept of “Federation of Libre Services” focuses on interactions amongst Autonomous Libre Services and faciltation of information aggregation amongst Libre Services. Beyond ideology, we are building real-world implementations, deployment and usage in the form of ByStar Federations of Autonomous Libre Services.

.pdf  | .ps  | .html  | .bib  ]

This document is the transcript of a Small Business Innovation Program (SBIR) proposal, submitted to the National Science Foundation (NSF) by Neda Communications, Inc. on June 9, 2009.

The proposal describes Libre Texting, a new incarnation of the Mobile Email/Wireless Texting (henceforth just "Texting") medium, based on the Free Software ideology. Today the Texting industry is dominated by the proprietary, walled garden model. The goal of Libre Texting is to provide equivalent functionality to existing proprietary Texting solutions such as BlackBerry, but (a) based entirely on patent-free protocols and free software, (b) using any mobile Internet device, and (c) wherever any type of wireless Internet connectivity is available. The proposed approach comprises five elements:

  1. The inherent propagative power of the Free Software and end-to-end models
  2. An overlay network architecture
  3. A new set of messaging protocols
  4. A novel software architecture for Message Transfer Agent integration
  5. A new software architecture for multiform device integration, based on Device-Resident End-MTA middleware

The proposed technology is highly synergistic with current industry dynamics, including: burgeoning recognition of the power of FOSS, ready availability of Linux-based mobile devices, and widespread Wi-Fi availability. Existing email protocols lack push-mode delivery, and bandwidth and power efficiency; the proposed new protocol profile corrects these shortcomings. The proposed research is to determine feasibility of all critical elements of this approach at large scale.

This document is a record of the review comments received in response to a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) proposal we submitted to the National Science Foundation (NSF).

On June 9, 2009 we submitted SBIR proposal number 0946146, titled "Libre Texting: A Reshaping of the Medium." The proposal was declined by the NSF. We received notification of this decision, along with the review comments, on November 02, 2009. The present document records the review comments as taken verbatim from the NSF FastLane system.

We examined the NSF review comments closely, subjecting them to our own internal analysis and discussion. Our conclusion is that they are almost entirely incorrect, representing a near-total lack of understanding by the reviewers of the substance of the proposal. Complete details of our analysis of the review comments are provided in a separate document titled, "A Live Case Study for NSF SBIR Proposal No. 0946146," available online at http://www.neda.com/PLPC/110016.

Emacs is far more than just an editor. Viewing Emacs as an Editor Centered User Environment is only the beginning of recognizing its power. Beyond a user environment, we have been using Emacs as Software-Service Integration Framework for many years. We are now in the process of packaging the entire environment as the ultimate User Environment For the Software-Service Continum. This package we call BLEE. The By* Libre Emacs Environment. Blee goes beyond Emacs by fully integrating Emacs and Firefox/Iceweasel and all of Linux apps underneath it. BLEE features include: – Emacs <—-> Firefox (two way integration) – Inside of Firefox: edit everything through Emacs, Send emails using Emacs+Gnus, … – Inside of Emacs: write html and view it in native firefox in realtime, View all your Gnus email messages in full html in firefox, … Think of Emacs and Firefox as joint sisters. They are all you need. – Incredible Email capabilities Built on top of Gnus. Awsome Multi-Mailbox and Multi-Address support provided with ByStar. Great Anti-Spam capabilities, Search Capabilities, Scoring based on full integration with the address book. Mailing lists access through News with Gmane. – Organizational Tools the likes of which exists no where else: Address Book: bbdb (Big Brother DataBase), Calendar/Diary, Org Mode: To Do Lists, Worklogs, Dynamic Blocks, – Full Integration With dict (Multi-Lingual Dictionaries, Thesarus, …), Powerfull templating systems and Abbreviations. – Fully Multi-Lingual (m17n). Emacs 24 now includes bidi (bidirectional editing). That means in addition to Latin being native, now Perso-Arabic script is also native emacs. – Of course, Music (emms) and tons of games. And all of this we will show you. This talk will for the most part be interactive demos.
[Records-201105012]. Mohsen BANAN. The Concept of An Open Business Plan Example: Neda's By* Libre Services LinuxFest NW 2011. Neda Communications, Inc, April 2011. record/Records.
.pdf  | .ps  | .html  | .bib  ]
Traditionally business plans have been highly confidential and quite limited in audience. The business plan itself is generally regarded as secret. However the emergence of free software and open source has opened the model and made the notion of an open business plan possible. An open business plan is a business plan with unlimited audience. The business plan is typically web published and made available to all. In the free software and open source business model, trade secrets, copyright and patents can no longer be used as effective locking mechanisms to provide sustainable advantages to a particular business and therefore a secret business plan is less relevant in those models. While the origin of the open business plan model is in the free software and Libre Services arena, the concept is likely applicable to other domains. In theory, a business plan has many uses and purposes. As a strategic plan it gives the organization its direction, defines priorities, guides allocation of resources, defines goals, objectives, processes and strategies; and identifies and focuses the business on specific markets and revenue sources. In practice most business plans are none of the above. Instead they are purely a tool for fundraising. The dotCon era (late 1990s) demonstrated how business plans can become an agreement document between entrepreneurs and Venture Capitalists on how to engage in spin and flip and pump and dump activities. That makes the requirement for the business plan being secret even stronger. In what we believe is a first in the history of business practice, we are publishing our business model in the form of an Open Business Plan. The plan is freely available on our website to be read by anyone. The primary url for Neda's Open Business Plan is: http://www.neda.com/StrategicVision/BusinessPlan Our business model of not using the locking mechanisms of trade secrets, copyright and patents plus the notion of an open business plan is very difficult to digest for Venture Capitalists. Yet, the scope and scale of what we are trying to do requires facilitation of external participation including capital investment. Our engagement with Venture Capitalists typically starts here: http://www.neda.com/StrategicVision/Participating/Investment/StartHere Insisting on this honest and transparent model has come at a price. We point with pride to the fact of having been thrown out of the offices of some of the most prestigious high-technology venture capital companies in the Pacific Northwest. In this presentation, we will provide an overview of the model that we have been following and the lessons we have learned from interacting with VCs. We believe that open source software engineers are best positioned to pave the way towards making widespread the concept of open business plans. We highly encourage those wishing to attend this presentation to page through this example open business plan.

.pdf  | .ps  | .html  | .bib  ]
Libre Services are an extension of the principles of free software into the Internet services domain. They are Internet services that can be freely copied and reused by anyone. The Libre Services model exists in relation to the proprietary Internet services model of Facebook, Youtube, MSN, Yahoo and Google, in an analogous way to how GNU/Linux exists in relation to Microsoft Windows. The concept of “Autonomous Libre Services” focuses on preserving privacy by providing control over information to users with safe guards of functional transparency, information portability and non-retention controls. The concept of “Federation of Libre Services” focuses on interactions amongst Autonomous Libre Services and faciltation of information aggregation amongst Libre Services. Beyond ideology, we are building real-world implementations, deployment and usage in the form of ByStar Federations of Autonomous Libre Services.

By the time of the Iranian revolution in 1978 there was recognition and consensus of many of the thoughts that first appeared in جلال آل‌احمد 's غرب زدگى published and subsequently sensored in 1964.

This book played a significant role on the path that has brought Iran to where it is today. It remains necessary that it be read widely and that it be readily available to anyone who wishes to read it.

In 2008 I attempted to locate an Internet published copy of the book. I found it at: http://www.islamicecenter.com/ketaabkhaaneh/gharbzadegi/gharbzadegi

That publication however does not accommodate cover to cover reading as a book. I took that text and formatted it more like a traditional book and am web publishing it in PDF and Postscript formats.

Here it is.
