Report on Wireless status on Ubuntu 8.10 beta

vinci — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 12:17:45 +0000

This is what bothers me on the new Ubuntu 8.10 beta on my Thinkpad R52:

Now with a Ralink card (RT61) also this connection is resetted all the time. On reconnection every time the card that never worked with WPA (Intel 2200 BG) is used. The bug has expired (I set it to 'new' again) and it was always just commented to update the driver. So nobody at Canonical seems to care if Intel 2200 BG works or not?
Related is the fact that I mentioned above that Network Manager never remebers which card and connection works. So if there is a internal card which cant connect he will ALWAYS use this, even if that has never worked. I reported this months ago and nobody cared., too. What the people working on wireless network do not seem to realize is that not every hardware works with every access point. So remembering what works and what not is so essential! Actually I alwys thoght that was what NM was all about. But it seems they only remember the password/key which has worked and not how it worked. I guess this is trivial feature to add so again I dont understand why this has not been changed. Or why a card that never worked is even displayed and takes 80% of all entries, while the working card always switches its position (upper or lower end of the other card) - I would guess it would be important to display the most used and working connections at the top - also depending on the location. Come on guys, NM is not that new any more. So please fix those minor issues - I dont see any sense in listing 30 wireless networks in my range that I never use and will never use. What exactly am i supposed to do with them? This is only a distraction.

So my situation now is that not only the internal card is still not working but now the external PCMCIA card is resetted every five minutes or so. Which makes Ubuntu quite unusable for me - and its already Beta time. I had thought ipw2200 drivers would become really much better with newer kernel > 2.6.26, but 2.6.27 I still have the same bugs. So everybody having same type of hardware should stay back from Ubuntu till I can report that things are working.

Here is an example log. As you see wlan0 (rt61) comes up and then eth2 (ipw2200) interferes:

OPEN SOURCE as ALTERNATIVE

purcidduzzu — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 10:00:40 +0000

Chi di noi non si è mai chiesto se sia sensato continuare ad utilizzare software pirata? Penso che prima o poi vi sarà capitato, ma non vi avete pensato piu' di tanto in quanto "o ti mangi questa minestra...o ti mangi questa minestra".

Eppure, da tempo, anche se in sordina, stanno nascendo nuove "minestre", addirittura alcune piu' saporite della "solita minestra"!

Sordina...ah, il male di queste nuove minestre, in effetti, andare a pescare un alternativo e VALIDO software che sia open source non è sempre semplice (a meno che tu lettore non sei un pinguino e quindi hai scelto a priori di essere open).

Avete proprio ragione, nessuno pubblicizza, voi non conoscete! Qualche anima pia ha ben pensato di venire incontro a molti di voi.

OPEN SOURCE as ALTERNATIVE

A differenza di molti altri siti in cui vi viene presentata "staticamente" una lista, qui avrete la possibilità, con un semplice "search", di interrogarlo direttamente su un software commerciale: lui vi risponderà con l'alternativa OPEN.

Periodicamente, inoltre, presenta una lista dei TOP 10 software open che vengono ritenuti i migliori del momento.

personalmente giudico questo sito molto interessante, un aiuto non solo per chi approda al mondo dell'open, ma anche per chi come me predilige software open e free (Stallman docet). Sono sempre aperto a nuove alternative.

My adventures with CMS

Hezy — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 01:40:18 +0000

I decided to build a site. Not just a blog, but a complete site. I opened an account at a hosting provider, and started to play with different web CMS programs, to see which one is best for my plan. The site I plan to build is for physics education (this is what I know), so it it is important to have good rendering of mathematical formula, preferably using Tex. Another demand: the site is going to be in Hebrew. It doesn't sound like a big deal, but the fact that Hebrew is written from right to left means that the CMS must have good RTL support. Fortunately many of the well known CMS do. I almost forgot another important demand: it must be a free (as in freedom) software. That is just the only way I work. I will probably need a forum for the site as well, but this can be handled by a separate program. So here are some of my impressions:

Wordpress - I know it well and it's easy to use, but it's structure is optimized for a linear blog. Not ideal for what I was planing.

Moodle - a CMS specially built for Educational sites, so you would think it's the best for my needs. However, after playing with it for some time I found it to be an oddball. The settings were very different from what I'm used to with other programs, and I seemed to get lost too easily with the all the possibilities. I think I need to visit this again in the future, but right now I decided to pass.

Joomla - my feeling was that it was trying to be user friendly to the point that I didn't have good control on what's going on. Visually It looks very nice, but I think I didn't understand the basic idea.

Druple - I really liked it imidiatly. It's almost as elegant as wordpress (or at least as an older version of it), but much more versatile. I'd like to return to it in the future, but right now it seems a little more than I need.

DukuWiki - I found it really nice and simple to use, but I had some trouble with installing Tex support. I believe it has a relatively small user base, and the development is not as active as some of the other CMS. In any case, I found It is a good option.

MediaWiki - Great, I realy liked it. I expected it to be more complicated than DukoWiki, but in fact it is very simple to install and use. Since I have some experience with Wikipedia, once I had it installed things flow easily.

Conclusion: My choise is MediaWiki for the main part of the site, but I add Wordpress as a side blogging platform, and I think I'll use phpBB for the forum. Now I'm working on the CSS to give them all a similar look. I'll write about it in the next post.

Linux and marketing: a rant

Joe — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 23:27:31 +0000

I had a similar rant to this in my drafts section. Then I wrote a new one because the old one went a little off message. Here it is.

It's kinda one of the basic bits of knowledge you'd pick up on any course on business you'd care to mention; sell your product well. Don't skimp on advertising or proper branding, because it'll pay dividends. Nobody wants to buy an orange-flavoured canned drink called Shittysmellyshitjuice, they'd rather buy one called Orangina or Fanta or Sunkist or whatever. Shittysmellyshitjuice could be the most fantastic orange soda you'll ever drink, but with a crappy name like that it'll be lucky to obtain even a minute market share.

Open source software and Linux advocates don't like businessmen, or marketers, because they get in the way of technical quality, or so they've heard on Slashdot. Leaving aside the obvious truth that right now the main barrier to technical quality in the FOSS community is in fact the FOSS community, this revulsion towards marketers comes part and parcel of the boiled-down approach adopted by many - "the software matters, all else is frippery".

Sadly, going back to my shitty orange juice analogy, frippery is what users care about. If you don't brand your project properly, all you'll attract are the FOSSies who don't care about image. They would do well to remember that a good, solid brand can do a lot to paper over many otherwise gaping cracks in many a company's surface.

Take a look at Apple. Apple is what Microsoft would be like had the latter developed a fetish for control over its platform that their present day counterpart would shit themselves over. They've had numerous instances of manufacturing defects and some fairly questionable policies regarding the aforementioned lock in. The average Joe can forgive them this though since they present themselves so well, and make an effort to appear friendly - not just through corporate image, but through how they interact with their users, developers and customers right down to UI design. Apple does branding to the same extent as RMS does zealotry and ESR does guns.

Specifically, look at iTunes. iTunes itself is a great name; it sums up what the application does in an instant; it plays tunes. Great. Its icon is a big blue musical note suspended over a CD - even better, because that communicates precisely what it's for. TextEdit is another good example - clear name, clear icon (a pen and paper). iCal - clear name, icon of a calendar. Mail - OK, well, that's just unfair. The point is that each of these applications is named such that a user can understand exactly what they're about without even needing to open it, and with icons well chosen enough that the user might not even need to see the name to know what the application does. That's good branding - not a strategy specific to Apple or OS X, I hasten to add, it's just common sense.

Now look at some of the big-name Linux/FOSS apps. Start big. GNOME is a desktop environment. GNOME's icon is a foot. If you asked the typical Windows user what an app named iTunes with an icon of a CD does, they'd most likely hazard a guess that it plays music. Ask them what something called GNOME with an icon of a foot does and they'll ask you what the fuck you're talking about. Bad branding; GNOME's name and icon doesn't correspond in the slightest with what it does. GNOME fails.

Let's try again, this time with FOSS stalwart GIMP. GIMP is a terrible name on so many levels. First of all, it has an acronym within an acronym for a name, not to mention it's actually a recursive acronym within an acronym, which is esoteric to the point of madness. Secondly, it doesn't bear any relation to what the GIMP does - someone seeing "GIMP" in a menu is unlikely to think "Ah, that must be where I airbrush my face out from homemade porn before I upload it to LimeWire," they just won't know what it is. Last but not least, people think of "gimp" as being an offensive name for a cripple. Which it is. Stupid, stupid branding.

This is conclusion one of this rant, which I'll admit is a little bit too good natured for that title at present; in-jokey, obscure or technical names = bad branding. FOSS is littered with examples of this; Kopete, Amarok, Pidgin, Ekiga, GNOME, GIMP. Most of these words mean nothing to people, and the ones that do have a meaning to your everyday user will most likely provoke a negative response. An in-jokey name is fine when you're making something low level or aimed at a specific audience, but for general audiences, it'd be best to choose a name that actually symbolises what your product is all about. Good examples of this in Linuxland are Rhythmbox and OpenOffice.org - both names that communicate everything an inquisitive user needs to know before opening the application.

Moving away from the branding aspect, let's move into marketing territory. FOSSies are shit scared of marketing and marketers, for the simple inescapable reason that people would rather pay money for something sold well than take something for free that was largely made and advocated by a bunch of pricks. And when you want prickishness, you want freetards.

First of all, many attempts to sell Linux or OSS are made on the basis that it's "free" - not as in beer, which does tend to sway some minds, but as in speech. They fail to realise, sadly, that "software freedom" is not a priority for most people; they really couldn't care about their "freedom" to fork their instant messenger if they can't resize a text box so long as they can get their work done. They're not as emotionally invested in their computers as the average freetard, and promoting Linux to them on that basis makes it seem like what it is - an esoteric, closet OS for nerds. The same goes for DRM and such topics, which really turn the average Joe off; they simply don't care, and for those that do care switching their entire OS is probably a bridge too far.

Secondly, lots of sales pitches for Linux are not founded upon showing off Linux's supposed strengths and what it can do, but often upon Windows' weaknesses. The former would be positive, and give people a reason to switch; the latter is negative, and makes out that Linux isn't better than the competition, only not as bad. This is often accompanied by the flinging of insults at said competition, which in the eyes of the average person definitely doesn't help - smearing Windows won't make anyone switch to Linux, it'll just put a Windows user on the defensive, saying things like "Well, I've never had any problems etc etc etc." If nothing else, counterproductive.

Thirdly, there's too much fragmentation. While "choice" is a lovely mantra, it's a stupid mantra. Some choice is fine; the choice between Windows, Linux and OS X is a simple choice that people can research. But, there are numerous Linux distros; Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva and PCLinuxOS being the main ones, along with a far larger number of far smaller distros, and again, the average user doesn't care. They've been told about this "Linux" thing but don't want to have to pick from so many choices, since it makes no sense to them. Having a choice makes sense if it's reasonably possible for the average user of your product to make an informed choice; you can pick which supermarket you shop at based on service, quality, price, whatever, but the differences between the different distros are often deeply esoteric and confusing for someone uninitiated in the differences between Debian-based, Red Hat-based, Ubuntu-based etc.

So that's conclusion two: lots of attempts to get people interested in Linux fall flat because they are either not given an adequate reason to choose it (or one they can relate to), given too many equally incomprehensible choices to choose from or both.

Oh, and there's another conclusion: they could also try not making Linux suck fucking shit. That might also work.

AnyRemote - Controlando seu PC pelo Celular

Fábio Emilio Costa — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:39:43 +0000

Olá!

Fale a verdade, você já se pegou em situações onde um bom controle remoto para o computador seria uma ótima idéia, como em uma apresentação, ou quando você está usando seu PC para ouvir música e está lavando louça e quer ouvir uma música em especial qualquer (bem, no meu caso foi Get Over, da trilha sonora do anime Hikaru no Go... :P). De qualquer modo, é um momento onde tudo o que você quer é controlar seu PC sem ter que chegar perto do seu teclado ou mouse.
Pois bem, para apresentações existem alguns controles remotos que conseguem "substituir" um mouse, mas são caros.
Pois bem: tem um celular com suporte a bluetooth e J2ME? Usa Linux? Então sem problemas!
Existe um software chamado AnyRemote que transforma um celular Bluetooth em controle remoto por meio de um cliente J2ME que deve ser enviado para o celular. É importante que a JVM J2ME do celular suporte Bluetooth por meio de JSR (Java Specification Request) 82. No meu caso, o teste foi feito com um celular Nokia 6085 e funcionou perfeitamente. No site do AnyRemote existe uma lista dos celulares suportados.
OK, então mão na massa.
Primeiro, tenha certeza de ter as dependências do mesmo instalado: você precisará de pacotes de bluettoth (libbluez, obex e libbluetooth), além de python e PyKDE (python e python-kde) ou Gtk Python. Se você já fez alguma operação Bluetooth com o seu celular em Linux, provavelmente terá tudo o que é necessário. Caso contrário, existem muitos tutorias na Internet sobre como configurar corretamente seu dongle (chaveiro USB) de Bluetooth no Linux.
Embora a maior parte das distribuições contem com o AnyRemote nos repositórios, vamos fazer a instalação a partir dos pacotes oferecidos no site do AnyRemote, pois eles são mais atualizados com arquivos para controle de aplicações e afins. No site do AnyRemote, clique em Download e baixe os seguintes pacotes (obviamente, no formato compatível com sua distribuição - no meu caso, como Debianista, os arquivos são .deb):

Cliente em Linha de Comando:

anyremote_4.9-2_i386.deb - Pacote Principal;

anyremote-data_4.9-2_i386.deb - Pacote de dados do AnyRemote (contem os arquivos .cfg que controlam as aplicações, portanto deve ser baixado);
anyremote-doc_4.9-2_i386.deb - (opcional) documentação do AnyRemote;

Cliente Gráfico - aqui utilizaremos o kAnyRemote para o KDE. Existe também o gAnyRemote para o GNOME, mas não comentaremos ele aqui:

kanyremote_5.3-2_all.deb

Cliente J2ME - ele pode ser baixado também via WAP, mas o próprio kAnyRemote ao detectar o celular permite que o cliente J2ME seja enviado para o celular via Bluetooth:

anyremote-j2me-client_4.9-2_all.deb - Infelizmente, esse foi o pacote mais atual com o cliente J2ME, ainda que não seja o mais atual como um todo;

Baixado tudo isso e instalado as dependências, conecte seu dongle Bluetooth. Caso necessário, faça todas as configurações exigidas para a comunicação entre seu celular e o computador via Bluetooth. É fundamental que todos esses recursos estejam corretamente configurados antes da instalação, pois o AnyRemote (e o kAnyRemote) utiliza-se da estrutura Bluetooth do Linux. Em distribuições mais atuais, tudo resume-se a espetar o dongle que ele é auto-identificado. Instale os arquivos baixados conforme a sua distribuição. Ligue o seu Celular e ative a função Bluetooth do mesmo.
Abra então o kAnyRemote. Ele irá jogar na System Tray (Bandeja do Sistema) um pequeno ícone o identificando. Clique com o botão direito em cima dele e você terá um menu como o exibido ao lado. Clique em Start e você irá ativar o serviço do AnyRemote. PS: perceba que também deve ter na System Tray um ícone com o símbolo do Bluetooth, que indica que tem um adaptador Bluetooth conectado e reconhecido. Ele não precisa estar azul nesse momento, pois não há operações nele.
Agora, vamos trabalhar o AnyRemote. Dê dois cliques no ícone do kAnyRemote ou então clique com o botão direito do mouse e escolha Restore. Você irá receber uma janela igual à do lado (clique para ampliar). Essa é a janela principal do kAnyRemote, por onde você configura quais programas podem ou não serem controlados pelo AnyRemote. Existem várias opções para configurar aqui: iremos mexer apenas nos clientes cujo modo for Server (servidor). O outro modo, AT, é um modo que utiliza comandos AT (de modem) via WiFi ou infravermelho para controlar o computador, mas não falaremos dele aqui. O Modo Server é o modo que utiliza Bluetooth (e em alguns dispositivos, infravermelho). Existe ainda o Bemused, sobre o qual também não falaremos.
Ele é dividido em três Estados: Disponível (o programa a ser controlado está instalado, mas o agente do AnyRemote não está ativo para ele), Gerenciado (o agente está ativo) e Não-Disponível (o programa a ser controlado não está instalado). No caso, temos vários agentes Disponíveis, mas apenas um Gerenciado, que é o All_in_1, que funciona como "controle remoto universal". Sugiro que deixe apenas esse em Gerenciado. Para desativar os demais, selecione qualquer um que esteja como Gerenciado e clique em "Parar".

Tudo OK, é hora de enviarmos o cliente J2ME ao celular. Clique em Setup | Devices. Ele irá abrir uma janela que irá investigar todos os seus dispositivos Bluetooth. Espere um pouco e ele deve mostrar o seu dispositivo. No meu caso, é o "Nokia Fábio" ao lado. Selecione-o e clique duas vezes.
Agora, já indicamos ao AnyRemote que esse dispositivo pode acessar o computador, mas ainda ele não o fará pois não tem o cliente J2ME instalado. Para fazer o deploy desse cliente, você também pode, caso a solução do envio automatizado não funcio, enviar o arquivo normalmente por OBEX File Transfer do Linux ou então por download do mesmo via WAP (lembrando que você precisará enviar dois arquivos, um .JAR e um .JAD). Mas vamos ao envio automatizado.

Ao clicar duas vezes, você receberá uma janela para fazer os ajustes das configurações para aquele celular. Primeiro, clique em Ping para verificar se está tudo OK e a comunicação é efetiva. O Celular pode perguntar se deseja aceitar comunicação e ou pareamento do mesmo com o computador. Confirme e, caso necessário, forneça a senha de pareamento (normalmente o computador pede para definir uma. Apenas escolha uma senha que você considere adequada e confirme a mesma senha no celular). Tudo OK, basta clicar em "Enviar Java". Confirme o alerta que seu Celular deverá dar para o envio do arquivo. Tudo OK, clique em OK para sair. Uma configuração avançada é fazer com que uma determinada configuração do AnyRemote seja carregada de imediato no Celular uma vez que ele conecte-se ao AnyRemote. Para isso, clique em "Escolher" e escolha o arquivo .cfg correspondente.
Tudo bem... Agora é a hora da verdade: abra seu celular e vá ao menu de Aplicações do mesmo. Lá deverá estar listado o AnyRemote. Escolha-o. Pode ser que o celular pergunte se você deseja a aplicação usar recursos de conectividade. Permita, pois é justamente o acesso ao Bluetooth. Tudo correndo bem, o cliente irá automaticamente identificar uma conexão, à qual você irá se ligar. Você entrará no menu do All_in_1 (imaginando que ele esteja ativo). Escolha o programa que você deseja controlar. Em alguns casos na tela irá parecer com a imagem ao lado. Nesse caso, cada um dos símbolos representa a tecla do teclado do celular que deve ser pressionada para fazer a função ser ativada. Por exemplo, para suprimir o som na tecla ao lado, digite 2. Para fechar o programa, tecle 8 e para parar a música tecle 0. Em outros casos irá aparecer outros layouts. Nesses casos, utilize as teclas direcionais do celular para mover até a opção desejada e aperte o botão central do celular (o que normalmente fica dentro do direcional) para executar a opção.

Para terminar, existe formas de configurar o comportamento tanto do AnyRemote quanto do kAnyRemote. Vá em Setup | Preferences. Você receberá uma janela como a da imagem ao lado (clique para ampliar). Existe uma série de ajustes que você pode configurar, mas os mais interessantes são o Auto-Startup (para fazer com que o kAnyRemote seja carregado ao iniciar o KDE/GNOME) e as opções de Show in List, que filtram quais configurações devem ser apresentadas pelo kAnyRemote. Sugiro que se desmarque as configurações de Modo AT (uma vez que não as usaremos) e que marque-se a opção Custom Made, que indica que configurações não relacionadas a Aplicativos também devam ser apresentadas. Entre tais configurações consta a All_in_1 que citamos aqui.
Na realidade, existe muito mais para se falar sobre o AnyRemote, pois ele é poderoso o bastante para, em conjunto com as aplicações Linux que possuam algum tipo de chamada distribuída (como o DCOP do KDE ou mesmo disparos por linha de comando), ser customizada para controle remoto de praticamente qualquer aplicação. Basta apenas estudar a documentação disponível no site do AnyRemote.
Em tempo: para o pessoal que desejar saber mais sobre o AnyRemote, em especial sobre o uso do gAnyRemote, veja esse artigo do Blog do Venilton.

Acesso Livre…

Hoje em dia, o movimento que visa o acesso livre vai de vento-em-popa e já praticamente dispensa apresentações; principalmente no Brasil, onde a CAPES já até desenvolveu o famoso Portal de Acesso Livre.

Porém, o que muitos não sabem é a história de como tudo isso começou, em meados de 1991, quando Paul Ginsparg (sim, aquele já conhecido pelos férmions de Ginsparg-Wilson) deu início aos arXivs.

A entrevista abaixo é uma das poucas que o Ginsparg já deu, e é excelente, recheadas de 'causos':

The global-village pioneers.

É importantíssimo também lembrar que sem o TeX, dado de presente e mão beijada para o mundo todo pelo Don Knuth, nada disso teria sido possível — o TeX é uma das primeiras linguagens de markup.

Outro ingrediente importante foi a criação da WWW por Tim Berners-Lee. Como o próprio Ginsparg conta na entrevista, TBL o contactou pessoalmente… e assim os arXivs foram levados dum servidor de FTP para um de WWW… e assim surgiu o primeiro, :!: , servidor da web no mundo!

N.B.: o servidor da HET Brown foi um dos primeiros também (se não me engano, foi o terceiro), logo em seguida dos arXivs: foi um dos meus predecessores (chamado Stephen Hahn) que o instalou, na sala de número 625 no prédio chamado Barus & Holley, e até pouco tempo atrás (quando eu atualizei e reconfigurei tudo pra rodar via Apache 2.0.63), tudo rodava naquele mesmo servidor original (um verdadeiro rinoceronte :smile: )! Enquanto isso, no Brasil, o DFMA teve uma das primeiras páginas da USP, assim como o Ciências Moleculares, que certamente foi a primeira página sobre um curso de bacharelado da USP (quiçá do Brasil — ainda me lembro do dia em que instalei o primeiro servidor HTTP no servidor do CM, ainda chamado lnx00, e começamos a brincar com HTML)! Foi nessa mesma época que nasceu o Projeto Sócrates, do qual tive a sorte de participar (mas essa é outra estória).

Bom, essa é a história do Acesso Livre, não só no mundo, mas no Brasil também… que, como vcs vêm, tem tido uma participação bem sólida nisso tudo. :smile:

Ripartono le attività a Opera (MI)

liberamente08 — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 09:56:20 +0000

Dopo un periodo di silenzio e di meritata vacanza, l'Opera Linux Group riparte con una serie di appuntamenti aperti al territorio e una buona quantità di idee e progetti da portare avanti in preparazione dell'evento di aprile 2009.

Di seguito il verbale dell'ultima riunione

1) Partecipazione al LINUX DAY
il 25/26 ottobre parteciperemo a Cinisello al linux day. Non avendo ancora pronti i materiali rispetto al progetto "acessibylinux" (VEDI SOTTO PER CAPIRE DI COSA SI PARLA), cercheremo di mantenere viva la rete creata con liberamente (www.liberamente08.tk). Inoltre abbiamo proposto alla rete la possibilità di fare una linux night il 25 sera alla ciclofficina della stecca, idea che sembra essere piaciuta.

La serata sarà di puro divertimento (dopo una giornata di smanettamento ci vuole...), la ciclofficina è un posto accogliente (forse un pò intasato dalle bici) e che ben si presta a iniziative di questo genere, chiaramente è possibile sviluppare ulteriori contenuti ricordando però che ad oggi siamo pochi e che molta manodopera dovrà essere utilizzata per il bar e per la chiusura di fine serata.

2) GRUPPO LINUX OPERA
abbiamo deciso di promuovere e allargare il nostro gruppo. Sono fissate e seguenti date:
- 7 ottobre
- 21 ottobre
- 18 novembre
- 16 dicembre
alla riunione del 7 ottobre abbiamo invitato ufficialmente l'assessore all'innovazione tecnologica Corrado Anelli (che dopo liberamente 08 si era dimostrato interessato all'argomento)
Le riunioni si terranno all'internet cafè della biblioteca di Opera dalle ore 21,15 in via Gramsci 21.
Durante queste riunioni, oltre a definire obiettivi e strategiedi lavoro del gruppo faremo la manutenzione dei pc del bar.
Si è inoltre pensato di caratterizzare ogni incontro in modo formativo per il gruppo, dedicando parte della serata all'approfondimento dei software di uso più comune.
per proporci ad un pubblico più giovane c'è anche in cantiere un torneo di giochi in rete.

3) ACCESSIBYLINUX
per ora ci stiamo formando sull'argomento, creando una rete di soggetti competenti.
Oltre alla presentazione del gruppo, sarà argomento principale della prossima riunione.
"accessibylinux" è un progetto pensato per rendere accessibile l'utilizzo dei pc a tutti quei soggetti che, per vari impedimenti, non riescono o non possono farne uso (vedi stranieri, persone diversamente abili,...). Un progetto di abbattimento del digital divide.

Ci vediamo al POP Bar di via Gramsci a Opera!

A Whole New Dimension

aaronatzil — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 23:33:42 +0000

New technologies are produced almost daily, but every now and then, something amazing is created. When I say that something is amazing, I mean that it is incredibly useful, incredibly new and unique, or both. Recently, a company called ExitReality potentially reshaped the way people can use the Internet. That statement is especially appropriate, since ExitReality is in the process of putting the Internet in 3D format, literally giving it a new shape. ExitReality has launched the public beta version of their dimension-shifting software. For those who do not remember, if something is in its beta version, that means the software is being tested by the public. There are other notable features about the software. For instance, it has been used to convert approximately 40 billion web sites to 3D, it allows programmers to create 3D sites as well as convert 2D sites, and its 100% free, meaning that it can be used by any web designer. This is what a converted site looks like. As you can see, the 3D design looks very much like a video game, since it places an avatar right in the center of the computer screen. This is a very interesting idea, but unfortunately, the software is mostly for show, since the websites converted by the software still operate in the same way. However, there is hope that in the future, this software could allow programmers to create a whole new type of website, one that cannot be presented in 2D. If that happens, this software could become truly amazing not only because it is unique, but also because it is incredibly useful.

Free software solutions... from the sun!

fredericknoronha — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 12:45:34 +0000

Júnior Mulinari is the current president of Solis. Used Bablefish to translate their home-page. Interesting... you can understand quite a bit in that way.

Some of the products they have listed include:

Solutions for the Educational Management

Fred - Manager of Web Contents

Gnuteca - System of Management of Quantity, Loan and Contribution for Libraries

Sagu - Open System of Unified Management

Solutions for Corporatives

Right on top, along with the logo of a set of colourful colour-pencils, they have a "set of Solis solutions meant for universities, including for academic management ... that follows the life of the student from the time of admission through to tests and until graduation" (free translation).

A quote: "Solis reflects ability and innovation generated by human capital, in its services. This is its larger heritage."

Contacts for Solis: SOLIS - Cooperativa de Soluções Livres, Av. Sete de Setembro, 184 - Sala 401, Bairro Moinhos - 95900-000 - Lajeado (RS), Fone: +55 51 3714-6653 comercial@solis.coop.br

Some background, courtesy Cesar Brod: Univates is the acronym for University of the Taquari River Valley Area. Today it is the brand name for the University Centre in the same Taquari River Valley. Solis means "the Sun", in Latin, but is also an acronym for SOftware LIvre Soluções - Free Software Solutions. Solis works in a pretty strict co-op, associative sense.

Messaggi rassicuranti

Trusted Internet

Pandu — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 01:54:02 +0000

Internet has become a part of our daily life, but the fact is there are many people that still cautious in using the Internet. Don’t think that they are a group of old people that don’t even know how to use a cellular phone, some of them are experienced users in using the Internet. Why there are a group of experienced people but still cautious in using the Internet? Well, of course the simple answer to that is they have already have awareness about trust around the Internet. Trust has become an important issue in the Internet. Maybe you already see how many website use authentication only to get in, or using SSL only to make sure that the site is secure. But still, there are still various security issues regarding trust on the Internet. You maybe already heard about phishing, CSRF, XSS, even forged security applications (such as fake anti spyware/malware application), and many other techniques to compromise security and trust on the Internet. Because of that, people nowadays not easily trust something online (especially when it comes to online business or online transaction).
As far as I know, Comodo has a great vision towards trusted Internet. They can give you many great tools that were developed towards trusted Internet. They had visions when someday people don’t need to be worry to use Internet. People don’t need to buy expensive security applications to be installed on their computer only to surf the Internet. I guess this idea of trusted Internet is possible to achieve, and I also glad if someday I don’t have to be worried when using Internet. As a person related with IT, I support this idea. One more thing, if you want to try some of the tools and software created by Comodo, look into their website and you can find various free software for your computer. Me myself already download the Comodo BoClean and Comodo Firewall Pro, and I hope you can try their other free products also.

Mini-review: Bibus, an open source bibliographic managment tool

wilkox — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 05:19:00 +0000

After converting from Ubuntu linux about a year ago, I found that there were only two tasks that required me to boot into my Windows installation: syncing my iPod touch with iTunes, and writing documents that required heavy scientific referencing with EndNote. The first task may very soon have a viable linux alternative with the imminent release of PwnPlayer. When I recently set to work on a lengthy literature review, I decided to go and find a viable alternative for referencing too. After testing a few options, I came across Bibus. It's not perfect, but it does competently replace all the functions of EndNote - and, of course, it's totally free and open source.

Bibus performs all the basic referencing functions: it imports citations from files or manual input, stores and organises them in a simple database, inserts in-text citations into OpenOffice documents (MS Word is apparently also supported), and updates a formatted reference list at the end of the document. It was exceptionally stable, with not a single crash, and installation, database creation and integration into OpenOffice was streamlined and easy. There were a number of little usability hitches, however, which still require some polishing:

Importing from Google Scholar, where I get the majority of my references, is not very streamlined. I found the best way was to open an 'Import text window' in Bibus, and set my Scholar preferences to offer a text-only BibTeX citation for each reference in the search results. I then had to copy and paste the citation into the inport window and hit 'import' and drag it from the import buffer into the reference list proper. The need for this buffer was not obvious and it felt like a totally unnessecarilay extra step.
Inserting the reference into OpenOffice was also a little awkward. EndNote adds a toolbar which lets you insert an in-text citation from inside a MS Word window. Bibus makes you mark the spot in the OpenOffice document, change windows into Bibus and insert, then go back to OpenOffice to make sure it inserted correctly. This is a minor niggle, but can get tedious when you are inserting multiple citations for the same reference.
The way Bibus imported the BibTeX data was a little haphazard, with it occasionally keeping curly brackets "{", the BibTeX field delimiters, in the text of the reference itself. I couldn't tell if this was an error on Bibus or Google Scholar's side, but either way it meant I had to manually go though at the end and remove a number of stray curly braces from my references section.
Formatting of the references was inconsistant, even when I repetedly applied a single ruleset to the entire list. Again, this could have been a problem on Scholar's side.

Free Culture Conference 2008: Berkeley, CA

Katherine — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 18:56:52 +0000

Next Saturday, UC Berkeley's International House will host the "Free Culture Conference 2008," a gathering to discuss many controversial issues regarding copyright infringement and technology ownership.

Free Culture should be a pretty interesting talk; speakers include professors from UC Berkeley and Stanford in the departments of law, information, and medicine; representatives from the Stanford Fair Use Project and Google; and John Lilly, the CEO of Mozilla. Throughout the day, there will be local DJs and games, and the night will end, I believe, with a party at Blake's on Telegraph.

"[Free Culture 2008 is] a conference for, and about, free culture, technology, copyright, remixing, and free software."

Free Culture 2008

Here are the details of the conference content, as posted on Free Culture Conference 2008's website:

نرم افزار ها - قسمت اول : نرم افزار رایت

masoudccna — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 12:06:25 +0000

همیشه مطالبی را می خونیم در رابطه با اینکه باید از نرم افزار های رایگان به جای نرم افزار های پولی و Trial استفاده کنیم و از این جور حرف ها .
و دلیل آن هم این است که نرم افزار های رایگان محدودیت ایجاد نمی کنند و اغلب حجم کمتری نسبت به نرم افزار های معروف دارند و ....

اما در این مطلب من می خواهم یکم ساز مخالف بزنم ، چون عقیده دارم که باید از نرم افزار های معروف استفاده کنیم . امروز قصد دارم در این رابطه حرف بزنم و به معرفی نرم افزار ها بپردازم و نظر خودم را در این رابطه بگم .
خوب برای امروز میریم به سراغ نرم افزار رایت : همونطور که می دونید نرم افزار های رایت هر روز داره افزایش پیدا میکنه و هر شرکت سعی می کنه به نوعی نرم افزار رایت ارائه بده ، از شرکت های تولید کننده برنامه های رایت تا مولتی مدیا و ....

Nero
شاید وقتی اسم رایت را بشنوید ذهن شما گزینه Nero را Find کند . این نرم افزار معروف ترین نرم افزار رایت می باشد و البته بسیار عظیم شده است و نرم افزار های تکمیلی زیادی را به خودش اضافه کرده . شاید برخی کاربران و منتقدان این شرکت ، این نرم افزار را به خاطر "حجم بالا فایل نصبی" "حجم اشغالی زیاد در ویندوز" "سرعت لود پایین" "داشتن نرم افزار های اضافی" و "Free نبودن" مورد هجوم خود قرار دهند ولی به نظر من این نرم افزار بهترین نرم افزار مدیریت رایت می باشد البته به دلایل زیر :
کامل بودن نرم افزار
داشتن ابزار گوناگون
حق انتخاب به کاربر برای استفاده (این را در پایین توضیح می دم)
و ...

پایین نوشت : در نرم افزار نرو شما می نوانید رایت خود را به سه صورت انجام دهید :
-Nero Burning Rom : این اولین صورت رایت هست که کار با اون فوق العاده راحته و البته شما میتونید به صورت Drag & Drop فایل ها را انتخاب کنید و محیط اون از نسخه های قدیمی تا همین نسخه آخر تغییر چندانی نکرده .
- Nero Express : این طریقه رایت فکر کنم از نسخه 5 یا 6 به نرو افزوده شد و البته با طبقه بندی کردن انواع رایت و ساده کرده کردن محیط رایت کار را برای کاربران راحت کرده است .
- Nero StartSmart : این هم جذاب ترین طریقه رایت که از نسخه های های 6 شروع شد و در نسخه های بعدی کامل شد و در نسخه 8.5 به طور کلی تغییر کرده و ظاهری فوق العاده پیدا کرده .

البته در مورد منتقدان باید بگم که :
اولا حجم بالای نرم افزار به دلیل قدمت بالای شرکت در این رابطه هست
ثانیا این نرم افزار برای کاربران با سیستم پایین اصلا توصیه نمیشه
ثالثا نرم افزار اضافی به منظور داشتن یک سری ابزار کامل برای کاربر می باشد و در صورتی که آن ها را نمی خواهید ، می توانید از بصب آنها در مراحل نصب جلوگیری کنید .
و در پایان این که free نیست شاید به این دلیله که در این ضمینه بهترین خدمات را ارائه میده.
آخرین نسخه موجود این نرم افزار ( ورژن 9.0.9.4b با حجم 370 مگابایت ) را مینونید دریافت کنید .

Ashampoo
هرگاه نخوام Nero را نصب کنم این نرم افزار را نصب می کنم که البته کار با اون راحته و قابلیت های بالایی هم داره .
چون می خوام پست خیلی طولانی نباشه برا همین از توضیحات دوست خودم محمدرضا می تونید استفاده کنید البته نسخه 8.02 آن را با حجم 31.6 مگابایت را هم میتونید دانلود کنید .

نرم افزار های BlindWrite و BurnAware Professional و Complex Evolution و DeepBurner و Express Burn Plus و GetData Burn My Files و ... نیز وجود دارند که البته به پای دو نرم افزار معرفی شده نمی رسند .

نرمافزارهای Windows Media Player و JetAudio و ... هم قسمتی را برای رایت سی دی های MultiMedia قرار داده اند که البته به نظر من خیلی کاربرد ندارد .

در پایان هم می خوام طریقه رایت با خود ویندوز را بگم :
شما در این روش کافیه فایل های خود را در درایو Writer خود کپی کنید و سپس گزینه Write these files to CD را انتخاب کنید و به راحتی رایت کنید .

Borrar palabras añadidas al diccionario de Firefox

horuhe — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 10:11:13 +0000

La utilidad de corrección ortográfica que nos brindan las extensiones de Firefox sin duda son una de las extensiones favoritas por mi. Cuando escribimos muchas veces con prisa o sin prestar real atención ha si esta bien escrito estos diccionarios nos ofrecen una ayuda visual muy útil que nos ayuda a evitar errores ortográficos.

Además, en caso de no estar utilizando nuestra lengua materna siempre resulta de ayuda saber si lo que estas escribiendo esta correctamente escrito.

Esta extensión además permite incluir palabras al diccionario para enriquecerlo y adoptarlo a nuestro entorno y su jerga pero esto, en ocasiones, puede llevar a incluir palabras no deseadas a nuestro diccionario personalizado.

Para quitar palabras añadidas a nuestro diccionario nada más sencillo en GNU/Linux como en otros sistemas operativos, pero solo me centraré en GNU/Linux (en los otros es parecido).

Debemos ir a $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/ y ahí tendrán una carpetas con un nombre tal que ebt3w3oa.default (no se si es en todos igual, pero da igual). Una vez dentro existe un archivo llamado persdict.dat (personal dictionary) donde están almacenadas todas las palabras que hemos añadido a nuestro diccionario.

Solo queda acceder y borrar aquella entradas no deseadas.
