Wed 10:00 { 13:00 Rasmus Lerdorf (Alexander) PHP Introduction A fast-moving thorough and quite pragmatic introduction to the world of PHP. Topics to be covered include: • Language introduction • Dynamic generation of images, PDF and flash • HTTP and other interesting protocols • PEAR • Sessions • Security Attendees will come out of this tutorial with a good understanding of how to use PHP to solve a broad range of real-world problems. Some experience with HTML and the web in general is assumed. No prior PHP experience is assumed, but the tutorial does not dwell too long on the details of the language itself, choosing instead to focus on how to use the language. This means the tutorial tends to be interesting and useful even for quite experienced PHP developers. Wed 10:00 { 13:00 Malcolm Tredinnick (Murdoch) Using autoconf, automake and friends A fairly common expectation amongst Open Source users is that they can just grab the latest tarball of package X, unpack it and then put on a blindfold and type ./configure && make && make install - and it usually Just Works(tm).

  • Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 32 Bit!

    Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 32 Bit!

    Welcome to Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 32 Bit! What is Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7? Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 is a full replacement for Microsoft©s Windows and Macintosh©s Mac OS for any Intel based PC. Of course we recommend you check the system requirements first to make sure your computer meets our standards. The 64 bit version of Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 works faster than the 32 bit version on a 64 bit PC however the 32 bit version has support for Frets On Fire and a few other 32 bit applications that won©t run on 64 bit. We have worked hard to make sure that you can justify using 64 bit without sacrificing too much compatibility. I would say that Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 64 bit is compatible with 99.9% of all the GNU/Linux applications out there that will work with Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 32 bit. Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 is based on Ubuntu 8.04 but includes KDE 3.5 as the default interface and has the Mac4Lin Gnome interface for Mac users. What is Different Than Windows and Mac? You see with Microsoft©s Windows OS you have to defragment your computer, use an anti-virus, and run chkdsk or a check disk manually or automatically once every 3 months in order to maintain a normal Microsoft Windows environment. With Macintosh©s Mac OS you don©t have to worry about fragmentation but you do have to worry about some viruses and you still should do a check disk on your system every once in a while or whatever is equivalent to that in Microsoft©s Windows OS.

I would rec- ommend this book—nice tips and a lot of fun to be had. Carthik Sharma Creator of the Ubuntu Blog (http://ubuntu.wordpress.com) Wow! There are some great tips here! I have used Ubuntu since April 2005, starting with version 5.04. I found much in this book to inspire me and to teach me, and it answered lingering questions I didn’t know I had. The book is a good resource that I will gladly recommend to both newcomers and veteran users.

  • The GNOME Desktop Environment

    The GNOME Desktop Environment

    The GNOME desktop environment Miguel de Icaza ([email protected]) Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM Elliot Lee ([email protected]) Federico Mena ([email protected]) Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM Tom Tromey ([email protected]) April 27, 1998 Abstract We present an overview of the free GNU Network Object Model Environment (GNOME). GNOME is a suite of X11 GUI applications that provides joy to users and hackers alike. It has been designed for extensibility and automation by using CORBA and scripting languages throughout the code. GNOME is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL and the GNU LGPL and has been developed on the Internet by a loosely-coupled team of programmers. 1 Motivation Free operating systems1 are excellent at providing server-class services, and so are often the ideal choice for a server machine. However, the lack of a consistent user interface and of consumer-targeted applications has prevented free operating systems from reaching the vast majority of users — the desktop users. As such, the benefits of free software have only been enjoyed by the technically savvy computer user community. Most users are still locked into proprietary solutions for their desktop environments. By using GNOME, free operating systems will have a complete, user-friendly desktop which will provide users with powerful and easy-to-use graphical applications. Many people have suggested that the cause for the lack of free user-oriented appli- cations is that these do not provide enough excitement to hackers, as opposed to system- level programming. Since most of the GNOME code had to be written by hackers, we kept them happy: the magic recipe here is to design GNOME around an adrenaline response by trying to use exciting models and ideas in the applications.

    SOFTWARE—PRACTICE AND EXPERIENCE Softw. Pract. Exper. 2010; 00:1–7 Prepared using speauth.cls [Version: 2002/09/23 v2.2] Communicating between the kernel and user-space in Linux using Netlink sockets Pablo Neira Ayuso∗,∗1, Rafael M. Gasca1 and Laurent Lefevre2 1 QUIVIR Research Group, Departament of Computer Languages and Systems, University of Seville, Spain. 2 RESO/LIP team, INRIA, University of Lyon, France. SUMMARY When developing Linux kernel features, it is a good practise to expose the necessary details to user-space to enable extensibility. This allows the development of new features and sophisticated configurations from user-space. Commonly, software developers have to face the task of looking for a good way to communicate between kernel and user-space in Linux. This tutorial introduces you to Netlink sockets, a flexible and extensible messaging system that provides communication between kernel and user-space. In this tutorial, we provide fundamental guidelines for practitioners who wish to develop Netlink-based interfaces. key words: kernel interfaces, netlink, linux 1. INTRODUCTION Portable open-source operating systems like Linux [1] provide a good environment to develop applications for the real-world since they can be used in very different platforms: from very small embedded devices, like smartphones and PDAs, to standalone computers and large scale clusters. Moreover, the availability of the source code also allows its study and modification, this renders Linux useful for both the industry and the academia. The core of Linux, like many modern operating systems, follows a monolithic † design for performance reasons. The main bricks that compose the operating system are implemented ∗Correspondence to: Pablo Neira Ayuso, ETS Ingenieria Informatica, Department of Computer Languages and Systems.

What you now hold in your hands is the first annual report of the GNOME Foundation, at the end of what has been an eventful year for us. Each year brings its challenges and rewards for the members of this global project. This year, many of our biggest challenges are in the legal arena. European countries have been passing laws to conform with the European Union Copyright Directive, and some, including France, have brought into law provisions which we as software developers find it hard to understand, but which appear to make much of what we do illegal. We have found our- selves in the center of patent wars as bigger companies jockey for position with offerings based on our hard work. And we are scratching our heads trying to figure out how to deal with the constraints of DRM and patents in multimedia, while still offering our users access to their media files.
