Examples of the Forum in the following topics:
-
- Trajan's Forum was the last of the imperial fora to be built in the city.
- The forum's main entrance was accessed from the south, near to the Forum of Augustus as well as the Forum of Caesar (which Trajan also renovated).
- The Forum of Augustus might have been the model for the Forum of Trajan, even though the latter was much larger.
- The markets follow the shape of the Trajan's forum.
- Trajan built the forum and markets around the same time from 106 to 113 CE.
-
- Discussion forums in which participants post and respond to messages are the bread and butter of project communications.
- Because of this nearly-completed unification between email lists and web-based forums, I will use the terms message forum and mailing list more or less interchangeably.
- They refer to any kind of message-based forum where posts are linked together in threads (topics), people can subscribe, archives of past messages can be browsed, and the forum can be interacted with via email or via a web browser.
- If a user is exposed to any channel besides a project's web pages, it is most likely to be one of the project's message forums.
- But before she experiences the forum itself, she will experience the process of finding the right forums.
-
- Provide the addresses of mailing lists, chat rooms, IRC channels (in Technical Infrastructure), and any other forums where others involved with the software can be reached.
- In the long run, probably only a fraction users will use the forums anyway, but the others will be comforted to know that they could if they ever needed to.
- In the early stages of a project, there's no need to have separate user and developer forums.
- As this chapter is only about getting a project started, it's enough merely to say that these communications forums need to exist.
- Later, in the section called "Handling Growth" in Communications, we'll examine where and how to set up such forums, the ways in which they might need moderation or other management, and how to separate user forums from developer forums, when the time comes, without creating an unbridgeable gulf.

- Located at the mouth of the Tiber on the Tyrrhenian Sea, Ostia was the main port city of Rome.
- The city is typical of a Roman city, including a large central forum, bath houses , temples, a theatre, barracks for firemen, and apartment buildings.
- The two central streets of the city, the cardo and decumanius ran north-south and east-west through the city, intersecting at the forum–the center of the city's civic and religious activities.
- Common features throughout the Empire include the Capitolium, the temple dedicated to Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva, in the forum at the center of the city .
- Across from the Capitolium in the forum stands a temple dedicated to Augustus and Roma.
-
- There will be no explosion when forums reach the breaking point.
- As more and more people make this highly rational choice, the forum's activity will seem to stay at a manageable level.
- It's just that the benefit/cost ratio of using those high-population forums goes down, so naturally those with the experience to do so start to look elsewhere for answers first.
- Recognizing when particular parts of a forum are not suffering unbounded growth, even if the forum as a whole is, and separating those parts off into new, more specialized forums (i.e., don't let the good be dragged down by the bad).
- You create the new list (or IRC channel, or whatever it is to be), and then you spend whatever time is necessary gently nagging and reminding people to use the new forums appropriately.
-
- It stands over the triumphal route before it enters the Republican Forum.
- This forms a dialogue with the Arch of Titus at the top, overlooking the Forum and the Arch of Septimius Severus, which, in turn, stands at the other end of the Forum before the Via Sacra heads uphill to the Capitolium.
- When Constantine and Maxentius clashed at the Milvian Bridge, Maxentius was in the middle of building a grand basilica, eventually renamed the Basilica Nova, near the Roman Forum.
- Parts of ancient Rome, especially the Republican Forum, returned once again to the cow pastures that they originally were at the time of the city's founding, as floods from the Tiber washed them over in debris and sediment.
- From there the Mese passed on and through the Forum Tauri and then the Forum Bovis, and finally up the Seventh Hill (or Xerolophus) and through to the Golden Gate in the Constantinian Wall.
-
- The more prosperous eastern half of the empire continued to thrive, mainly due to its connection to important trade routes and became known as the Byzantine Empire, while the western half of the empire fell apart.
- Parts of ancient Rome, especially the Republican Forum, returned once again to the cow pastures that they originally were at the time of the city's founding, as floods from the Tiber washed them over in debris and sediment .
- A view of the Roman Forum by Italian engraver, Giambattista Piranesi.
- This shows what the forum looked like-- an empty cow filed-- during his own time in the mid 18th century CE.
- Assess the effects of the division of the Roman Empire after Constantinople was formed.
-
- Primarily a centralized, one-way conduit of information from the project out to the public.
- The web site may also serve as an administrative interface for other project tools.
- Usually the most active communications forum in the project, and the "medium of record. "
- Enables everyone to watch what's happening to the code.
- See the section called "Canned Hosting" later in this chapter for a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of canned hosting.
-
- All together, the group covers the topic in its entirety.
- Public forum debate can be compared to a nationally-televised debate, such as 'Crossfire' in which the debaters argue a topic.
- The debate in a public forum is conducted by teams of two people alternating speeches for their side, either affirming or negating their topic.
- Successful public forum debaters must make persuasive and logical arguments in a manner that is accessible to a wide variety of audiences.
- Public forum debate also focuses on not only logical, but research based arguments.
-
- There are two kinds of forums for making announcements: generic forums that display a constant stream of new project announcements, and topic-specific forums where your project would be appropriate news.
- (Some projects also successfully climb the word-of-mouth / upvote tree to the point where they are featured on the front page of news.ycombinator.com, one of the subreddit forums related to reddit.com/r/technology, or some similarly popular public page.
- The topic-specific forums are probably where you'll get the most interest.
- Think about mailing lists or web forums where an announcement of your project would be on-topic and of interest — you might already be a member of some of them — and post there.
- Be careful to make exactly one post per forum, and to direct people to your project's own discussion areas for follow-up discussion (when posting by email, you can do this by setting the Reply-to header).
