One option:

https://github.com/ryepdx/pyethrecover does something very similar to what you're asking for, in the context of remembering an ethereum wallet password. In your case, the password-spec file would probably contain something like:

``` [ ('S','s','5'), ('I','i'), ('M','m'), ('P','p'), ...etc ] ``` See the comments https://github.com/ryepdx/pyethrecover/blob/master/password_... for details.

The overall code is not complex: it should be straightforward to strip out the word generation from the wallet testing and re-purpose it for your needs.

regarding the concept... the part I like about it is that it provides a mechanism for property owners to at least have a "say" in what flies over their property (and when). It's perhaps not a big deal now, but if drone delivery, et. al. become commonplace, I see this as the drone equivalent of a do-not-call list.

For anyone interested in learning more about the Open Assets Protocol, the official specification is here [1]. It's relatively short, and really quite readable.

The reference implementation is in Python [2], but I've been working on a JavaScript implementation [3] that's available via npm [4]. It's mostly complete, but I would love help from anyone interested in getting it over the finish line...

This is definitely one of the cleaner implementations I've seen of this idea, but why not allow for traditional (vertical) scrolling? The swipe method is unnatural on a laptop browser.

This is amazing. Dead simple, programmable access to absolutely piles of NASA Mars imagery. Everything from the first photos Spirit and Opportunity took on the surface to the latest vistas from the Curiosity rover.

XDATA participant here...

I completely agree with your emphasis on the community as one (if not the) defining attribute of what makes open source special. I think, however, that attitudes towards open source in government are definitely starting to shift. Events like the (3rd annual) Open Source Summit [1], and efforts like XDATA contribute greatly to overall awareness of the importance of understanding and embracing open source in government.

As far as supporting established OSS projects, this is definitely a big part of what XDATA is doing. Several of the projects on this list have well-established communities at the Apache Software Foundation (e.g.: OODT, Spark, Shark, Mesos, Tika) and others have strong ties to university research programs (Stanford, University of Washington, USC, UC Berkeley, etc.)

In a sense, what XDATA is doing is helping to connect these communities and funding them to come up with ways to collaboratively leverage their software and skills to solve data-intensive problems.

The last. It basically acts as a proxy: You type in your query, and IxQuick (aka startpage.com) queries Google on your behalf, thereby shielding you from the associated analytics and tracking. It also claims to not store the IP address associated with an individual query.

nice!

Another great take on an HTML5 flocking implementation is Alex Cruikshank's "birds on a line" demo, in which the birds also "land" on wires. I really like how Alex handles 3-dimensionality by adjusting the darkness of the birds so that the further "back" they are, the lighter they appear.
