For the first time in the history of Macedonian democracy, citizens have the opportunity to directly compare the political offers of parties participating in the elections with their own views and opinions, through the web-application Glasomer.mk.

The Ping.mk website recently got a completely new look which facilitates access to the recommendations for links still coming from the aggregator running in the background.

The Metamorphosis Foundation launched a new website intended for the higher education, research, and all other institutions planning to establish a digital repository to archive their documents, papers, software, learning resources, multimedia files etc. The “Digital repositories” website is an adaptation of the contents of the info-tool “Digital Repositories” published by JISC infoNet. It is available in Macedonian, and will soon be released in Albanian language as well.

DSpace, the free software for creation and publishing of digital repositories is now available as a virtual machine in OVF (Open Virtualization Format) that can be installed and running in less than 1 hour depending on the configuration of the server it is being installed on.

During the first trainings cycle of the project “Social Media for Democracy”, held from 23 to 26 March, the first four blogs for advocating a particular cause were created.

Ping.mk was recently officially launched. The website is an aggregator of e-contents collected automatically by using RSS feeds from websites or specific thematic parts of them.  Furthermore, it provides an opportunity for adding individual articles, voting on the submitted links, creating thematic groups, commenting, sharing, and for reviewing the best and most interesting of all the content that is submitted and aggregated in a given moment.

On December 23, 2008, most of the submitted projects for the World Summit Award were presented in the premises of the Economic Chamber of Macedonia. The jury had the opportunity to see the short presentations of the representatives and ask questions. For a list of the submitted projects, please visit the WSA Macedonia website.

The recently promoted website of the Digital Archive of the Macedonian Language of the Research Center for Areal Linguistics at the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts (MANU), intended for promotion of rare books and materials related to the Macedonian language in digital form, acquired the Creative Commons Attribution License 2.5 Macedonia.

Within the framework of the FOSIM's Good Governance Project, the website uslugi.gov.mk posted a new survey, enabling the citizens to provide their opinions about this e-service by the Government of Republic of Macedonia.

Several presentations of scientific electronic resources - academic journals and databases available through Electronic Information for Libraries Foundation (eIFL) -will be organised at the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University and St. Clement of Ohrid University on October 23-30, 2006
