He has been working with Linux-based systems, applications in GNOME, and Qt platforms. The projects he has worked on range from the development of constrained devices and desktop applications, to high traffic server systems and applications. He worked for his own startup company during the dotcom era before moving to Finland to work for Nokia/MeeGo. Now he's back in Indonesia, regaining his entrepreneurship by establishing a new startup company that focuses on Node.js and Linux-based projects. In his free time, he serves as an executive director for BlankOn, one of the biggest open source projects in Indonesia. In the past, he has published a couple of books on Linux in the Indonesian language. This book would have been impossible to write without the great and continuous support from my family: Rini, Alif, and Abil. About the Reviewers Dhi Aurrahman is a Project Manager at Labtek Indie, where he leads the development of custom-tailored interactive applications for various installations and platforms. Prior to this, he worked on various projects based on real-time computer vision systems with Samsung Electronics in South Korea. He has proven skills in C++ programming; application development using Qt for various platforms, including desktop and mobile; and JavaScript programming. Dhi has done his B.Sc in Computational Physics from Bandung Institute of Technology, Indonesia, and his M.Eng in Computer Engineering, focused on computer vision and machine learning, from Chonnam National University, South Korea. Joaquim Rocha is a Portuguese software developer with an M.Sc. degree in Computer Science. He has over six years of experience in developing graphical user interfaces and has been involved in a number of Free Software projects. He is also a member of the GNOME Foundation and is the author of the most complete OCR application, OCRFeeder, which was developed for the GNOME desktop. As part of his work for the Free Software consultancy Igalia, Joaquim has created the world's first Free Software skeleton-tracking library, completely written with GNOME technologies. www.PacktPub.com Support files, eBooks, discount offers and more You might want to visit www.PacktPub.com for support files and downloads related to your book.

  • Free Email Software Download Best Free Email Client 2021
    free email software download Best Free Email Client 2021. This article is all about best free email clients and how they can help you be more productive. We also talk about Clean Email, an easy-to-use email cleaner compatible with virtually all major email services. But before we go over the best email clients for 2021, we believe that we should first explain what advantages email clients have over web-based interfaces of various email services. Clean Email. Take control of your mailbox. What Is an Email Client and Why Should I Use One? If you’re like most people, you probably check your email at least once every day. And if you’re someone whose work involves communication with customers, clients, and coworkers, the chances are that you deal with emails all the time. Even though we spend so much time writing, forwarding, and managing emails, we hardly ever pause for a moment and think about how we could improve our emailing experience. We use clunky web interfaces that are not meant for professional use, we accept outdated applications as if alternatives didn’t exist, and we settle for the default email apps on our mobile devices even though app stores are full of excellent third-party email apps. Broadly speaking, an email client is a computer program used to access and manage a user’s email. But when we use the term email client in this article, we only mean those email clients that can be installed on a desktop computer or a mobile device—not web-based email clients that are hosted remotely and are accessible only from a web browser.

Eng. @ SUSE since 2018, working on Xen, KVM, QEMU, mostly about performance related stuff ● Daily activities ⇒ how and what for I use my workstation ○ Read and send emails (Evolution, git-send-email, stg mail, ...) ○ Write, build & test code (Xen, KVM, Libvirt, QEMU) ○ Work with the Open Build Service (OBS) ○ Browse Web ○ Test OSes in VMs ○ Meetings / Video calls / Online conferences ○ Chat, work and personal ○ Some 3D Printing ○ Occasionally play games ○ Occasional video-editing ○ Maybe scan / print some document 2 ● Can all of the above be done with an immutable OS ? Immutable OS: What ? Either: ● An OS that you cannot modify Or, at least: ● An OS that you will have an hard time modifying What do you mean “modify” ? ● E.g., installing packages ● ⇒ An OS on which you cannot install packages ● ⇒ An OS on which you will have an hard time installing packages 3 Immutable OS: What ? Seriously? 4 Immutable OS: Why ? Because it will stay clean and hard to break ● Does this sound familiar? ○ Let’s install foo, and it’s dependency, libfoobar_1 ○ Let’s install bar (depends from libfoobar_1, we have it already) ○ Actually, let’s add an external repo.
