SCALE 8x - 2010 Southern California Linux Expo - Program Track B http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale8x/taxonomy/term/17/0 en Get Developing - it's easy. http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale8x/presentations/get-developing-its-easy <p>We all know that Linux has some wonderful tools for developing applications. I learnt these tools to become the sole IT support for my business ( a sucessful dental office). I'll tell you what I did, and hopefully inspire you to do the same.</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-presentation-short-abs"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> I started writing an application called &quot;openMolar&quot; in November of 2008. openMolar is an application used in my dental practice. To do this I had to learn Python, Qt4, the bazaar version control system, mysql, GNU gettext, and debian packaging. I also learnt to use the Launchpad facilities for code hosting, bug tracking, translation and a PPA repository for ubuntu . In this talk, I hope to give you a basic synopsis of why I chose these particular tools (because, let&#039;s face it, there are some fine alternatives to each). I do not claim to be anything other than an enthusiastic hobbyist in any of these areas, but I have successfully used them to get my application to a stage which is working well in a demanding real-life situation. So if you are not developing applications yet, or are doing so using different tools, please come along and hear what I hope is an interesting story of &quot;an application from scratch&quot;. p.s. if you are not writing code yet... I will endeavour to change this. If I (a middle-aged dentist) can write working code.. anyone can. </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-presentation-long-abs"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <p>I want to discuss the following items during the talk.</p> <p>1. Having A problem to solve - a demonstration of my application in use.<br /> 2. Choosing a license.<br /> 3. Why Python?<br /> 4. Why PyQt?<br /> 5. Collaborating with others, using launchpad for code hosting and bug tracking.<br /> 6. Packaging the app so that you get feedback. Debian packaging and the use of a PPA.<br /> 7. Translating into other languages - the GNU gettext tools. Porquoi?<br /> 8. the future for the application - can we make money from this?</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-presentation-speaker-id"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Speaker: <a href="/scale8x/speakers/neil-wallace">Neil Wallace</a> </div> </div> </div> <fieldset class="fieldgroup group-presentation-downloads"><legend>Downloads</legend> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-presentation-audio"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <a href="http://audio.socallinuxexpo.org/Saturday/Track%20B/talk%20%235%20(Neil%20Wallace).mp3">Audio</a></div> </div> </div> </fieldset> http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale8x/presentations/get-developing-its-easy#comments Beginner Intermediate Program Track B Fri, 18 Jun 2010 00:00:53 +0000 2305 at http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale8x Ready or Not, IPv6 is Here: Preparing Your Linux Networks for IPv6 http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale8x/presentations/ready-or-not-ipv6-here-preparing-your-linux-networks-ipv6 <p>In this educational session, John Curran, President and CEO of ARIN will discuss how Linux IT professionals can prepare for IPv6, the benefits of adopting now, and the available resources to help communicate the value of IPv6 to their organizations.</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-presentation-short-abs"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> With less than 10% of IPv4 address space remaining, it is extremely urgent that all organizations adopt IPv6 – the next generation of IP technology – before time runs out and the global Internet community is fragmented. Some Linux IT professionals have been slow to adopt IPv6, and have yet to fully understand the benefits and ease of the deployment. With fewer resources on the Web regarding IPv6 and Linux, it is important for attendees to learn why IPv6 is necessary. In this session, John Curran, President and CEO of the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN), will discuss how attendees need to prepare for IPv4 depletion challenges, key considerations for IPv6 adoption, and the benefits of early IPv6 adoption. The session will provide attendees with the information and tools needed to ease their technical and business concerns of adopting IPv6. John will also focus on open-source software implementations of IPv6 and how to make the transition as seamless as possible. He will highlight educational resources available to help Linux IT professionals to better understand and communicate the value of IPv6 to their organizations.

This talk will present firsthand information on the hows and whys of implementing and using color management.</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-presentation-short-abs"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Color Management has long been perceived as a niche area, of interest mainly to professional graphic designers and the like, however it has come to be important to a much wider audience. At the same time it is also becoming more and more accessible to much larger groups of people. What used to be reserved for high-end service bureaus and professional publishers has now come to be usable in areas such as 1 hour prints at a local drugstore, web sharing and emailing of family photos, and output of graphics and photos on home printers. This talk will first focus on color management in general, and many of the different types of end users who can benefit from it. Photographers, digital painters, illustrators, website creators, graphic designers and different home users can all gain in many different ways from adopting at least a bit of a color managed workflow. Aside from the obvious graphics professionals, potential users include anyone who might email a photo from a cell phone to their home computer, or who might edit a website on an OS that might be different from that used by some people viewing it. Also developers themselves can benefit from adding at least minimal color management support to projects they work on. After the general information of color management and who might benefit from it, the focus will then move on to the history and current state of color management in Open Source software. In just the last few years large advancements have been made, with GIMP and Inkscape among those joining the projects supporting color management and a color managed workflow. Tools including Argyll CMS, LProf, xicc and others will be covered. Specific examples and cases will then be drilled down to, with a focus on illustration and SVG. The speaker&#039;s experience in adding color management to Inkscape will be leveraged to show concrete examples for workflows before and after color management. Issues such as printing output, spot colors, CMYK printing, mobile devices, and integration with raster paint programs will be covered. Finally, pending improvements in Open Source software will be highlighted with an eye to inspiring both end users and developers. End users can look forward to the improvements to come, and can help ensure their individual needs will be covered. Developers can see that adding color management to their project is not difficult to start, and can lead to even wider acceptance of their software and of color management itself. </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-presentation-long-abs"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <p>Color Management has long been perceived as a niche area, of interest mainly to professional graphic designers and the like, however it has come to be important to a much wider audience.

Relatively new (about 5 years) to the open source scene is OpenSolaris. OpenSolaris fills a unique gap that is present in the datacenter and general purpose desktop markets that revolve around the lack of innovation. In a world of “me too” features, OpenSolaris brings a fresh approach to the the table on some very old problems. An Operating System basically sits on a CPU and MEM facilitator, rides on storage of some type, has a runtime, and is accessed by users or their applications. - CPU/MEM access layer - File System/Disk/Storage layer - Runtime layer - User Access layer In this paper we will explore the problems OpenSolaris saw in traditional community based operating systems and explain it&#039;s solution for them. </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-presentation-long-abs"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <p>OpenSolaris attacks the four problem areas in an unique manner. Through the remainder of the paper we will examine each of the 4 problems areas declared above. We will look over the historical problems consumers of Operating Systems face and detail how OpenSolaris solves those problems with examples.</p> <p>1.) CPU/MEM access layer</p> <p>Kernel = Solaris Kernel<br /> Virtualization = VirtualBox, Xen, Containers, LDOMs</p> <p>2.)
