  • Introduction to Linux
    Presentation to U3A - Linux Introduction 8 June 2019 – Terry Schuster - [email protected] What is Linux? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux https://www.iotforall.com/linux-operating-system-iot-devices/ In simple terms, Linux is an operating system which was developed to be a home-built version of UNIX, one of the first operating systems which could be run on different brands of mainframe computers with quite different types of hardware. Linux has developed to the extent that it is the leading operating system on servers and other big iron systems such as mainframe computers, and the only OS used on TOP500 supercomputers (since November 2017, having gradually eliminated all competitors). It is used by around 2.3 percent of desktop computers. The Chromebook, which runs the Linux kernel-based Chrome OS, dominates the US K–12 education market. In the mid 2000’s, Linux was quickly seen as a good building block for smartphones, as it provided an out- of-the-box modern, full-featured Operating System with very good device driver support, and that was considered both scalable for the new generation of devices and had the added benefit of being royalty free. It is now becoming very common in IoT devices, such as smart watches/refrigerators, home controllers, etc. etc. BTW, Tux is a penguin character and the official brand character of the Linux kernel. Originally created as an entry to a Linux logo competition, Tux is the most commonly used icon for Linux, although different Linux distributions depict Tux in various styles. The character is used in many other Linux programs and as a general symbol of Linux.

  • KDE Plasma 5
    Arvo Mägi KDE Plasma 5 Tallinn, 2017 1 Sissejuhatus KDE töökeskkonnale pani aluse saksa programmeerija Matthias Ettrich 14.10.1996. 2016. a oktoobris sai populaarne KDE seega 20. aastaseks. Hea ülevaate KDE ajaloost annab artikkel „19 Years of KDE History: Step by Step.” KDE 4.14 ilmumisega oli KDE saavutanud kasutusküpsuse, kuid edasine areng kippus takerduma – vaja oli põhimõttelisi uuendusi. Otsustati võtta kasutusele iseseisvatel moodulitel põhinev KDE 5 arhitektuur – Qt/Frameworks. Kõik KDE rakendusprogrammid, sh Plasma 5 töölaud, kasutavad ainult konkreetse rakenduse jaoks vajalikke mooduleid. Varem kasutati kõigi rakenduste jaoks ühist suurt teeki, mis raskendas muudatuste tegemist ja pidurdas arendustööd. Qt on C++ programmeerimiskeskkond. Pikaajalise toega Qt 5.9 LTS ilmus 31. mail 2017. KDE Frameworks on 70 moodulist koosnev komplekt, mis lihtsustab Qt keskkonnas KDE programmide koostamist. Frameworks veaparandused ja täiendused ilmuvad iga kuu. KDE Plasma 5 töölaud põhineb KDE Frameworksil (KF5). Töölaua veaparandused ilmuvad iga kuu, vajadusel mitu korda kuus, uued versioonid kord kvartalis. Plasma 5.8 LTS, mis on pikaajalise toega (18 kuud), ilmus 4.10.2016, veidi enne KDE 20. aastaseks saamist. Plasma 5.10 ilmus 30.05.2017. Järgmine pikaajalise toega Plasma 5.12 ilmub 2018. a jaanuaris. Plasma 5 töölaud on pälvinud palju kiitvaid hinnanguid ja sobib igapäevaseks tööks. Eeldab kaasaegset, mitme tuumaga protsessori ja piisava mäluga (vähemalt 4 GB) arvutit. SSD kettalt töötab välkkiirelt. Töölaud on keskkond rakendusprogrammide käivitamiseks ja kasutamiseks. KF5-le on üle viidud kõik KDE põhirakendused (failihaldur Dolphin, pildinäitaja Gwenview, konsool Konsole, teksti- redaktor Kate, ekraanitõmmise võtja Spectacle, videoredaktor Kdenlive, plaadikirjutaja K3b jt). Need on KDE Applications koosseisus, mille uued versioonid ilmuvad kolm korda aastas, veaparandused kord kuus.

  • Translate's Localization Guide
    Translate’s Localization Guide Release 0.9.0 Translate Jun 26, 2020 Contents 1 Localisation Guide 1 2 Glossary 191 3 Language Information 195 i ii CHAPTER 1 Localisation Guide The general aim of this document is not to replace other well written works but to draw them together. So for instance the section on projects contains information that should help you get started and point you to the documents that are often hard to find. The section of translation should provide a general enough overview of common mistakes and pitfalls. We have found the localisation community very fragmented and hope that through this document we can bring people together and unify information that is out there but in many many different places. The one section that we feel is unique is the guide to developers – they make assumptions about localisation without fully understanding the implications, we complain but honestly there is not one place that can help give a developer and overview of what is needed from them, we hope that the developer section goes a long way to solving that issue. 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide one reference for localisers. You will find lots of information on localising and packaging on the web but not a single resource that can guide you. Most of the information is also domain specific ie it addresses KDE, Mozilla, etc. We hope that this is more general. This document also goes beyond the technical aspects of localisation which seems to be the domain of other lo- calisation documents.

  • FOSS, 24Th April 2014 Digital Image Management 1. Introduction
    FOSS, 24th April 2014 Digital Image Management Roger Hurley 1. Introduction I currently use three open source photography applications: digiKam for organising my image files; GIMP as a pixel editor; and RawTherapee as a RAW processor. There is a degree of overlap in functionality between these packages but, since this presentation is about organising digital photographs, this document concentrates on the image management capabilities of digiKam. In the old days there were two approaches: The Shoe Box - Put all the photographs into an old shoe box and look at them once a year; The Librarian - Carefully write details on the back of each photograph and file them away in albums; look at them occasionally. Having annotated the photos, they could be sorted by the date they were taken and/or their subject matter, depending on how much work you wanted to do. With the advent of digital photography, we gained the ability to store our images in a logical directory/sub-directory structure, creating virtual albums. These could be organised by date, event, subject matter, etc., or combinations of these, as indicated below: This is all very well, but it doesn©t give us much more than the old Librarian approach. However, digital cameras also save information about the images; this is known as metadata and most of it is saved as an exif file within the image file (.jpg, .tiff, .raw, etc.). An ex if file can contain a great deal of information about the image: make & model of camera; date & time when the image was created; camera settings - aperture, shutter speed, sensitivity (iso), focal length, white balance; flash settings, image resolution, etc.; file size and format; and so on.
