How Open Source Projects Survive Poisonous People (And... Google Tech Talks January 25, 2007 ABSTRACT Every open source project runs into people who are selfish, uncooperative, and disrespectful. These people can silently poison the atmosphere of a happy developer community. Come learn how to identify these people and peacefully de-fuse them before they derail your project. Told through a series of (often amusing) real-life anecdotes and experiences. Credits: Speaker:Ben Collins-Sussman, Speaker:Brian Fitzpatrick Tags: subversion open source google tech talks |

CGAL: The Open Source Computational Geometry Algorithms Library Google Tech Talks March, 3 2008 ABSTRACT Introduction Project mission statement, history, internal organization, partners, CGAL in numbers. What's in CGAL A survey on available data structures and algorithms, as well as examples how and by whom they are used. Topics include Triangulations, Voronoi diagrams, Boolean operations on polygons and polyhedra, arrangements of curves and their applications, Mesh generation, Geometry processing, Alpha shapes, Convex hull algorithms, Operations on polygons, Search structures, Interpolation, Shape analysis, fitting, and distances, Kinetic data structures... Generic Programming Paradigm CGAL data structures are C++ template classes and functions, usually taking several template parameters (with default values for ease of use). This gives developers an incredible flexibility to adapt the data structures to their needs, which is important internally for code reuse, and important for end users, as they typically integrate CGAL in already existing applications. Parts of CGAL are also interfaced with languages and software like Python, Java, Scilab, Qt and the Ipe drawing editor. Exact Geometric Computing Paradigm We present how to make geometric algorithms correct, robust, and nevertheless fast, by combining floating point arithmetic with exact arithmetic, and clever filtering mechanisms to switch between these two modes. These mechanisms can be used for geometric predicates, as well as for geometric constructions, which instead of a discrete return value generate new geometric entities. Conclusion and Outlook A wrapup, and a sneak preview on algorithms that might make it into future releases of CGAL. Speaker: Andreas Fabri, PhD, GeometryFactory As member of the initial development team of the CGAL project, Andreas is one of the architects of the CGAL software. For several years he chaired the CGAL Editorial Board. In 2003, Andreas founded the GeometryFactory as spin-off of the CGAL project, offering licenses, service and support to commercial users. Andreas received his PhD in 1994 from the Ecole des Mines de Paris, while working on geometric algorithms for parallel machines at INRIA. Speaker: Sylvain Pion, PhD, INRIA Sophia-Antipolis Sylvain got involved in the CGAL project during his PhD, which he received in 1999 at INRIA. He worked then on providing generic solutions to numerical robustness issues arising in geometric algorithms. Later on he worked on the efficiency of some fundamental geometric algorithms such as 3D Delaunay triangulations. He is now also involved in C++ standardization, and is working on parallel geometric algorithms. He is employed as researcher at INRIA, and is the current chair of the CGAL Editorial Board.

Multi-touch Screens in the Open Source World Google Tech Talks June 9, 2008 ABSTRACT Multi-touch is a new way of human computer interaction, which recognizes multiple simultaneous touch points, as opposed to the standard touchscreen, which recognizes only one touch point at a time. There are many forms of natural input in order to simplify the way people interact with their PC's and devices, however with the introduction of Apple iPhone/iPod Touch, Microsoft Surface and other devices, multi-touch is becoming more and more popular. In this tech talk I will describe what is the history behind multi-touch screens, what kind of multi-touch devices are available and how do they work, focusing mostly on FTIR and DI technique. We will discuss how to receive multi-touch events in our applications using TUIO protocol and how to write multi-touch applications using just a simulator. We will look into available open source projects that can be used to operate multi-touch screens and that are being developed by Natural User Interface Group (NUI Group) community. Speaker: Pawel Solyga Pawel Solyga is a computer science student at Politechnika Wroclawska, Poland. He is a co-founder of Natural User Interface Group (NUI Group), whose main areas of interest are modern user interfaces and in particular mutli-touch sreens. Pawel is also a former Google Summer of Code student. For GSoC 2008, he's working as organization administrator and mentor for the NUI Group. When not contributing to Open Source projects, he's a software engineer at Natural User Interface Europe AB, working on innovative multitouch applications.

Open Source Developers at Google: Amit Singh on MacFuse File systems provide one of the most familiar interfaces end users know. Since implementing a traditional file system is extremely complex and difficult, presenting information seamlessly through files and folders has typically been limited to a small set of select programmers--often kernel hackers who develop at the lowest layers of a system. The MacFUSE mechanism breaks this barrier on Mac OS X by doing all the in-kernel hard work once and for all and leaving to the developer only the file-system-specific logic, which can be implemented as a regular user-space application. MacFUSE, with its simple programmer-visible API (same as the Linux FUSE API) and multiple language bindings, almost trivializes the process of making anything and everything appear seamlessly as a set of files and folders. You can use it to blur the line between the Macintosh Desktop and the Web. In this talk, you will hear the story of MacFUSE from its creator.

Web 2.0 News: Reddit Goes Open Source, Twitturly, TwitLinks http://freelinereport.com/ Twitturly, or Twitt(url)y, is a new website that scans Twitter and looks for links people are talking about the most. It then assembles them onto its home page - making this into a really great news source. Twitt(url)y has got the same community appeal as Digg, but without the need to actually go out and vote on something. Instead, just Twittering about a subject and giving the URL is considered a vote, and the more links, the more it rises. Kind of like how Google uses PageRank in its algorithm. http://freelinereport.com/freeline-6-20-08 If you want the same kind of thing, but only for tech news, you can head on over to Twit Links and get an aggregated set of links built for the latest news in technology. The web design at TwitLinks.com is sparse, but powerful, giving you up to date news the minute it is twittered. http://freelinereport.com/freeline-6-20-08 Then there's SmashingFeeds, a site that mashes up content from Twitter and tons of other places that offer an RSS feed. It's free, and it doesn't even require a login to start using the features. You just point and click and view, wandering around and soaking in all that web 2.0 news. http://freelinereport.com/freeline-6-20-08 Next, if you are a book lover and want the same power of Digg or Delicious for your personal library, check out the social site called LibraryThing. It helps you catalogue almost all of your books for free, and you can carry on conversations with people who have the same books. If you have a lot of books, you can even buy a scanner and have your book automatically picked up via the ISBN number. http://freelinereport.com/freeline-6-20-08 And finally, in other social bookmarking news, Reddit the popular bookmarking site, is opening up their source code, allowing anyone in the community to make changes and fix bugs. What does this mean for the normal Reddit user? More popularity and more tools and widgets for using Reddit online. When Netscape opened its code, it gave birth to the Mozilla foundation and then to FireFox. Let's hope the same great advances happen here. http://freelinereport.com/freeline-6-20-08 Tags: brad-fallon reddit open-source opensource twit-links twitturly twitter twitlinks library-thing smashing-feeds web-2.0 |

Interdisciplinary Studies of Open Source Software (OSS) Projects Google Tech Talks February, 25 2008 ABSTRACT We all love to hate large software systems. They are hard to build, hard to evolve, and don't work very well. Why is this? A lot of reasons, some social, some technical, and some socio-technical. We believe that OSS provides an excellent source of data to test hypotheses about the factors that affect important phenomena/outcomes in software projects. Our group at UC Davis, comprising bio-informaticians, organizational behaviourists, physicists, and software engineers, is using a range of different approaches to the analyze the veritable torrents of data pouring out of open source projects to understand how things work in OSS, and what tools and techniques can help. One important issue is IMMIGRATION: how do new people join projects, and how can we help the difficult intellectual and social challenges they face. We present two results: 1.a) Can we build "recommender" tools that help programmers deal with "information overload" by helping them focus their attention? 1.b) Such tools have always been evaluated with user studies. Can we do something more quantitative? 2) What are the factors influencing immigration of new developers in Open source projects? Joint work with: V. Filkov, A. Swaminathan, G. Hsu, and students C. Bird, Z. Saul, and A. Gourley We gratefully acknowledge support from NSF (Science of Design and Human and Social Dynamics Programs), the IBM Faculty Fellowship Program, and the GrammaTech and SciTools corporations. Speaker: Prem Devanbu Prem Devanbu is Professor of Computer Science at UC Davis, he joined UC Davis after almost 20 years in Industry, including 17 years at AT Bell Labs and its various offshoots. He received his undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering (Medium Current) from IIT Chennai, India, and his M.S., and Ph.D from Rutgers University in Piscataway, NJ.

Diffondiamo il sapere : open source e software liberi. In informatica, open source (termine inglese che significa sorgente aperto) indica un software rilasciato con un tipo di licenza per la quale il codice sorgente è lasciato alla disponibilità di eventuali sviluppatori, in modo che con la collaborazione (in genere libera e spontanea) il prodotto finale possa raggiungere una complessità maggiore di quanto potrebbe ottenere un singolo gruppo di programmazione. L'open source ha ovviamente tratto grande beneficio da internet. Alla filosofia del movimento Open Source si ispira il movimento Open content: in questo caso ad essere liberamente disponibile non è il codice sorgente di un programma ma contenuti editoriali quali testi, immagini, video e musica. In tempi recenti, attualmente, l'Open Source tende ad assumere rilievo filosofico, consistendo in una nuova concezione della vita, aperta e refrattaria ad ogni oscurantismo, che l'Open Source si propone di superare mediante la condivisione della conoscenza. Con il termine software proprietario si indica quel software che ha restrizioni sul suo utilizzo, sulla sua modifica, riproduzione o ridistribuzione, solitamente imposti da un proprietario. Queste restrizioni vengono ottenute tramite mezzi tecnici o legali. Mezzi tecnici: rendere pubblico solo il codice binario del software, trattenendone il codice sorgente. In questi casi la modifica del software risulta molto difficile, ottenibile solo grazie a disassemblatori e ad elevate capacità informatiche. Mezzi legali: licenze, copyright e brevetti. Un software libero è invece un software rilasciato con una licenza che permette a chiunque di utilizzarlo e che ne incoraggia lo studio, le modifiche e la redistribuzione; per le sue caratteristiche, si contrappone al software proprietario. Questo è il futuro, niente più pirateria, tutto alla portata di tutti. Informatevi su internet! Tags: open source software libero informatica futuro |

Open source Publishing Workshops This workshop is a practical escape route for designers and publishers from the trap of commercial publishing software. The course runs on two consecutive Thursdays - the 22nd and 29th November. Please ensure you are available for both before booking your place. What we make is often defined by what tools we can use to make it. This workshop gives designers and publishers a hands-on introduction to the tools and technologies of Open Source publishing. We will look at three key tools: 'The Gimp' (an open source bitmap graphics tool, like Adobe Photoshop), 'Inkscape' (an open source vector illustration tool, like Adobe Illustrator), and Scribus -- an open source layout tool like Quark Express or Adobe InDesign. But besides specific tools, this workshop moves beyond outmoded boundaries in the publishing process between writing, designing, and printing: between the page and the 'Net. Attendees will learn the basics, and have an introduction to the techniques and possibilities of integrating workflows between web, design and print. There will also be an in-depth look at the economics and practicalities of 'Print on Demand' and other aspects of the future of publishing. These workshops will be run by Simon Worthington and Laura Oldenbourg of Mute Magazine and Openmute. Tags: NMX422 free software graphic design new media open source skills training workshop |
