  • The Gnome Desktop Comes to Hp-Ux
    GNOME on HP-UX Stormy Peters Hewlett-Packard Company 970-898-7277 [email protected] THE GNOME DESKTOP COMES TO HP-UX by Stormy Peters, Jim Leth, and Aaron Weber At the Linux World Expo in San Jose last August, a consortium of companies, including Hewlett-Packard, inaugurated the GNOME Foundation to further the goals of the GNOME project. An organization of open-source software developers, the GNOME project is the major force behind the GNOME desktop: a powerful, open-source desktop environment with an intuitive user interface, a component-based architecture, and an outstanding set of applications for both developers and users. The GNOME Foundation will provide resources to coordinate releases, determine future project directions, and promote GNOME through communication and press releases. At the same conference in San Jose, Hewlett-Packard also announced that GNOME would become the default HP-UX desktop environment. This will enhance the user experience on HP-UX, providing a full feature set and access to new applications, and also will allow commonality of desktops across different vendors' implementations of UNIX and Linux. HP will provide transition tools for migrating users from CDE to GNOME, and support for GNOME will be available from HP. Those users who wish to remain with CDE will continue to be supported. Hewlett-Packard, working with Ximian, Inc. (formerly known as Helix Code), will be providing the GNOME desktop on HP-UX. Ximian is an open-source desktop company that currently employs many of the original and current developers of GNOME, including Miguel de Icaza. They have developed and contributed applications such as Evolution and Red Carpet to GNOME.

Zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Wirtschaftswis- senschaften (Dr. rer. pol.) von der Fakultät für Wirtschaftswissenschaften des Karlsruher Instituts für Technologie (KIT) genehmigte Dissertation von Dipl.-Inform. Max Völkel. Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 14. Juli 2010 Referent: Prof. Dr. Rudi Studer Koreferent: Prof. Dr. Klaus Tochtermann Prüfer: Prof. Dr. Gerhard Satzger Vorsitzende der Prüfungskommission: Prof. Dr. Christine Harbring Abstract Following the ideas of Vannevar Bush (1945) and Douglas Engelbart (1963), this thesis explores how computers can help humans to be more intelligent. More precisely, the idea is to reduce limitations of cognitive processes with the help of knowledge cues, which are external reminders about previously experienced internal knowledge. A knowledge cue is any kind of symbol, pattern or artefact, created with the intent to be used by its creator, to re- evoke a previously experienced mental state, when used. The main processes in creating, managing and using knowledge cues are analysed. Based on the resulting knowledge cue life-cycle, an economic analysis of costs and benefits in Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) processes is performed.
