最佳实践:在IT专业领域之外推广ubuntu的密技

演讲者介绍:

张韡武在04年大学读书期间创办锐业软服软件服务企业,以探索实践中国软件服务。公司服务于企业客户,方案均使用自由软件,目前为德国商会、德外经贸新闻署、德国技术合作公司等德国知名企业提供广受赞誉的软件咨询、培训、实施、研发服务。

张韡武在大学本科时即受命领导他的讲师们组成的研发团队,设计军队装备管理软件。除军队外,他还在政府、外企等不同环境下领导过软件项目,其中有的面向内部需求,有的面向公众服务;即有Web产品,也有桌面实施;即涉及产品研发的创新,又相关服务应用的扎实;丰富的经历为开放的眼界张本:左眼看需求,右眼看实现;左手写材料,右手写程序。业界流行实用和理念牴牾,理想和现实角力,可比庖丁解牛故事里的枝经肯棨,韡武专门攻这解牛之术。

工作之外,张韡武也以个人身份参与一些开源项目,并且办网站以维护网上银行Linux兼容性信息: http://www.linuxbanks.cn 。IT业以外,他对历史和出版两个领域都有研究。

[友邻社区]BLUG May meeting: Directory Indexing for Dentry Lookup and Digital Art with Blender

Coly Li, kernel and file system hacker working on openSUSE at Novell, also a frequent speaker at the BLUG, will introduce the indexed-dirs feature implemented on OCFS2 (Oracle Cluster File System v2). When the
feature is enabled, an indexed-tree might be built for directory entries lookup. Benchmark result shows, the average dentry ookup performance from indexed tree is much faster than from linear directory file.

Next Clone (Irwin Quemener), an innovative architect working in Beijing, will show how he uses Blender to create digital art. Clone was born in France in 1984, has graduated from a French architecture school and forged his own style over the years in domains as wide as 3D, video, design and graphics. Working for both
locally and globally known organizations in Paris and in Beijing, with one year exchange in the Laval University in Québec brought clone to develop specific skills, such as interactive 3D technologies for web or architecture, and free “open source” creation software for professional purposes. Passionate, he always seek new ideas for his productions and consequently, would be glad to be associated to people from different backgrounds to go further in his know-how and imagination limits…

[友邻社区] BLUG April meeting: D Programming Language and Open Document

In April meeting, we will first have Lionello Lunesu, who got inspired by the Smalltalk presentation in Feb , so he decided to present the D Programming Language  and contrast D with C++ and Java/C#, showing that you don’t have to trade the former’s efficiency for the latter’s features. He will also introduce some of D’s unique progamming concepts that are meant to prevent bugs and enhance safety. Under linux, D can be used as a scripting language, completely hiding the fact that your code is being compiled into an executable, so not only programmers but also sysadmins should be interested in D. It’s more similar to a scripting language (Python) but it’s compiled, not interpreted, resulting in very efficient and fast code. The reference compiler is available on all x86 platforms. The source code of the reference compiler is available (although not GPL) for everybody to see and improve. Lionello  is from the Netherlands, he used to work as a software architect for a Dutch software company, creating virtual reality CAD programs.

PeterThe second part of the meeting will be presented by Peter Junge, a long time BLUG member and an expert of open document and OpenOffice.org.  Driving on the momentum of Document Freedom Day on March 31st, he will introduce us the open document standards, especially ODF. If you are interested in Open Documents, you can’t miss it!
