My suggestion is rooted in an all too human insight and in two more theoretical major premises. It should be something on a par with the wiki paradigm, which is more than an idea of collaboration, it is a specific collaboration platform. By this I mean that the Services Oriented Architecture focus of the project should be more than a theoretical framework, it should have an immediate impact on everyday life scholarly practices.
Without further ado, my question is: should Bamboo be more than a collection of tools? And my answer is that while Bamboo could and by necessity should try to accommodate as many perspectives and needs as feasible, it should at the very least propose a set of standards, interoperability norms, design principles, and communication algorithms that allow present and future initiative funded or supported under the Bamboo umbrella to collaborate and share data and capabilities. This is not to preclude future discussions that might take the Bamboo process in a different direction that the one suggested here, but rather to invite our colleagues to challenge, amend or improve on both of them. In order to provoke, rather than close the discussion, I would like to propose a specific question and a tentative answer that could help move the discussion along. In what follows I would like to draw on our experience to invite the Bamboo community to take a look at what Bamboo wants to be at a more abstract level. It converges with efforts invested by several major academic projects, among them our own Visible Past and Thought Ark initiatives at Purdue University. I find this initiative fascinating and extremely productive. Finally, a third group will collect insights on achieving the most important goal stated in the Bamboo planning document, namely “to create shared technology services that will support arts and humanities research.” Source The final idea, at least so far, is to create a services oriented architecture (SOA 1, 2, 3, 4) of information gathering, organization and dissemination.

A second series of workshops will look at services and tools. An initial series, currently underway, looks at the user requirements of the humanities scholar. The planning process intends to be quite open ended and is structured as a series of workshops. The Bamboo initiative is quite broad, its manifesto starting with this statement of purpose:īamboo is an multi-institutional, interdisciplinary, and inter-organizational effort to bring together researchers in arts and humanities, computer and information scientists, librarians, and campus information technologists to collectively tackle the question: How can I enhance arts and humanities research through the development of shared technology services? Source If you try to add this Gameserver to the Steam favorites this port needs to be used here.University of Chicago and UC Berkley have initiated a planning process codenamed Bamboo for developing a platform for digital humanities. Steam is using this port for filling the server list for example. It delivers information like the current player count, the servers name, and some other information. The Query Port delivers some information about the current Gameservers state. For attempting to direct connect this port is usually used to connect. So after connecting to any Gameserver, the traffic is using this port. The Gameserver itself is running on the Game Port. Unless there is no specific port defined on the Web interface they should be the same. In some cases, there is no difference between Game Port and Query Port. Depending on the connection type it appears, that the Query Port is used for connection as well. The Query Port just reports some information about the Gameservers status. The Game Port primary is used to play on the server. If the connection is made within the game itself, the Game Port is used.ĭifference between Game Port and Query Port If Steam is used to connect, often the Steam Query Port needs to be used. In most cases, you can differ between Game Port and (Steam) Query Port. The game server offers several ports to connect to.
