Vorrei ringraziare i partecipanti, Dada Spa (che gentilmente ci ha ospitati presso i suoi uffici) e i monger che hanno presentato i loro lighting talk. Potete trovare tutto il materiale a questo indirizzo: E ora, beh... mi piacerebbe ripetere la cosa :) Chi ha partecipato semplicemente come ascoltatore si sar? reso conto della natura disinvolta e informale di questi eventi: perch? quindi non pensare di proporre un talk al prossimo technical meeting ? Un'idea per la data potrebbe essere Dicembre, all'inizio del mese. Se qualcuno, come spero, vuole cimentarsi, mi faccia sapere, o scriva in lista: accumulate un po' di idee, potremo pensare concretamente a tempi e modalit? del secondo meeting. ciao, S.

We have already introduced some further features and improvements on it but still need some work to be done. Due to other commitments we want to subcontract this job to an experienced and well versed Perl programmer acquainted with this type of projects (PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IF YOU PERSONALLY DO NOT FULFILL THIS REQUIREMNT). You may see the originally software at www.mewsoft.com and our development at http://www.printeverywhere.com/auction_dev/cgi/auction.cgi? After finishing this phase and going online we need to keep the development and maintenance of this system on steady bases and it is our intention to keep working with same partner we choose for this job. 1) Implement a ?My Messages? (?My Folders?), similar a eBay where to administrate the incoming and out going messages from users and administration 2) Extend the existing one level administration to a three tier level with lowered control and access privileges for additional administrators. 3) When submitting and item for selling, to have the possibility to suggest a new category at any path level. The administrators can view and act upon suggested categories. 4) When registering the user should have to possibility to set up the calendar format (dd.mm.yyyy) or (mm.dd.yyyy) and time zone he wants to be displayed at the Site 5) Integrate the existing Advertisers Accounts and Billing System so that we can generate automatically invoices for their campaigns. (paying per Klick or per exposure) 6) Finish the already started ?Cross Promotion? chargeable function. When a user sees an item from a seller some other items should be displayed at the end of the items page (eBay similar). 7) Implement Windows / Excel Bulk Lister which enables the user to list items to the system without having to visit the site. 8) PayPal integrated end of auction checkout: Buyers and sellers with a PayPal account can seamlessly conclude the sales of items with the end of auction combined PayPal checkout. 9) Improve the existing internal messaging system with a better outlook and adding some extra information about other ongoing auctions, extending this to items I am watching and current auctions status. 10) Finish the already started shop feature. ( eBay Like) 11) We have introduced some new functions and features to the original current version from Mewsoft, and there are still some bugs which has to be fixed or functions to be Improved, complete or tuned-up. Besides this there are a couple of software updates from Mewsoft which has to be added to the running version. If you are interested in doing the job, please quote us a lump-sum for this package.

Agile Retrospectives Project retrospectives help teams examine what went right and what went wrong on a project. But traditionally, retrospectives (also known as "post-mortems") are only help at the end of the project--too late to help. You need agile retrospectives that are iterative and incremental. You need to accurately find and fix problems to help the team today. Now Esther and Diana show you the tools, tricks and tips you need to fix the problems you face on a software development project on an on-going basis. You'll see how to architect retrospectives in general, how to design them specifically for your team and organization, how to run them effectively, how to make the needed changes and how to scale these techniques up. You'll learn how to deal with problems, and implement solutions effectively throughout the project--not just at the end. With regular tune-ups, your team will hum like a precise, world-class orchestra.

La manifestazione ha lo scopo di promuovere l'uso e la conoscenza del sistema operativo "GNU/Linux" e dei programmi distribuiti con licenza libera. Gli interventi previsti riflettono quelle che sono le competenze sviluppate dalla comunit? locale alla quale fa riferimento il Firenze Linux User Group attraverso l'utilizzo di GNU/Linux e di software libero (SL) in ambiti quali: l'uso personale nella produzione di contenuti, nei canali distributivi, nello sviluppo dei nuovi sistemi di fruizione dei contenuti di internet. Nella giornata si terr? anche una "install fest" durante la quale gli utenti potranno installare varie distribuzioni GNU/Linux e programmi software libero, disponibili, nonch? scambiarsi consigli ed idee. La manifestazione inizier? alle ore 9.00 presso STAZ - Stazione di Confine Via Attavante 5 - Firenze (http://www.stazionediconfine.it) L'accesso ? libero e gratuito. Il programma della manifestazione: http://firenze.linux.it/linuxday Per maggiori informazioni: linuxday at firenze.linux.it comunicazione at firenze.linux.it ___________________________________________________________________ Programma Linux Day 2006 9-9:15 Presentazione della giornata e del F.L.U.G da parte di Leandro Noferini #SALA [A] 1? 9:15-9:45 Intervento semi serio: Linux non funziona di Mattia Brunetti Dibattito presentato da una valletta in minigonna ( Comunicazioni ) dove verranno esposte le delusioni del neofita alle prese con il desktop GNU/Linux rispetto alle aspettative del software libero. Applicativi non degni della controparte proprietaria, totale assenza di altri e l'inusabilit? di tanti per la loro instabilit? o il loro incompleto sviluppo. Dal fondo della sala un figurante stimoler? il confronto con agli altri spettatori. 2? 9:45-10:30 Come si costruisce un laboratorio di informatica libera a cura del Lilik. Il Lilik esiste ormai nella facolt? di Ingegneria da 5 anni, ed ? un buon esempio di cosa pu? produrre il software libero. Vorremmo condividere la nostra esperienza tecnica ma non solo per chi domani volesse ripetere la nostra iniziativa in altre facolt?. Come si rimediano le macchine, come si organizzano iniziative, come si cerca di autofinanziarsi e come si mantiene un buon livello di funzionalit? in una piccola rete con materiale "di scarto". 3? 10:30-11:15 SW libero per il disegno di circuiti elettrici e circuiti stampati di Lapo In pratica come usare i programmi del pacchetto gEDA (in particolare il gschem per disegnare gli schemi) e lo gnuPCB per i circuiti stampati, oltre alle utilita` di contorno. 4? 11:15-12 "Linux at Brain... un anno dopo" di Iacopo Spalletti + Playnet Risultato di un anno di lavoro del progetto: risultati e linee di sviluppo futuro, dai test di compatibilit? hardware alla formazione dei tecnici Essedi / Brain Technology ???????????????? 12-14 Pausa pranzo equa e solidale solo su prenotazione ( da definire e confermare ) ???????????????? 5? 14-14:45 "Sicurezza, fiducia e Trusted Computing" di Daniele Masini L'esigenza di una maggiore sicurezza ? sempre pi? sentita in campo informatico, specialmente per il fatto che i sistemi sono ormai praticamente sempre pi? connessi ad Internet e quindi sottoposti a possibili attacchi che possono arrivare da ogni dove. Il Trusted Computing viene proposto come soluzione definitiva alla sicurezza dei sistemi, ma dalla specifiche sembra che tale tecnologia vada contro al legittimo proprietario del sistema. E' veramente ci? di cui c'? bisogno? 6? 15:30-16:15 "Geografia libera: dove siamo?" di Paolo Cavallini Nel settore dell'informazione libera, la geografia riveste un ruolo molto particolare: i dati hanno origine dal territorio, quindi sono in qualche modo nostri di partenza, e sono raccolti ed elaborati con risorse pubbliche, quindi diventano doppiamente nostri; ci? non ostante, molte amministrazioni non li distribuiscono in forma libera, e le prospettive per il prossimo futuro sono anche peggiori. Il software libero per la gestione dell'informazione geografica ? in molti settori superiore a quello proprietario, e ciononostante la PA fa molta fatica ad adottarlo. Il software proprietario ? molto costoso, e le risorse impiegate per l'acquisto delle licenze da parte di una singola amministrazione di medie dimensioni sono paragonabili ai costi di sviluppo e manutenzione di tutto il software necessario. Nell'intervento discuter? le ragioni di questi curiosi fenomeni, e le strategie possibili per risolverli. 7? 16:15-17 Come e perche' scrivere un manuale di programmazione per Linux di Simone Piccardi Come nasce l'idea, perche' scegliere una licenza libera, come si e` sviluppata l'opera e come si e` diffusa. #SALA [B] 1? 10-11 "Social Networking" di Giu del Plug Filosofia open source legata al mondo della connettivit? wireless e di quello che e' riuscita a creare Fon attraverso la sua rete di Ap installati in tutto il mondo. 2? 11- 12 Scrivere applicazioni event-driven multitasking in Perl" di Stefano Rodighiero POE ? un framework Perl libero per lo sviluppo di programmi a eventi, in multitasking cooperativo. La sua versatilit?, e la disponibilit? su CPAN di moduli gi? pronti, lo rendono utile in un vasto genere di contesti: applicazioni GUI, applicazioni client/server, networking. Grazie alla facilit? con cui pu? comunicare con altri programmi in esecuzione, inoltre, pu? rivelarsi uno strumento molto utile per l'amministratore di sistema. L'intervento si propone di spiegare la struttura e il campo di applicazione di POE, fornendo esempi pratici e descrivendo un progetto completo. ???????????????? 12-14 Pausa pranzo equa e solidale solo su prenotazione ( da definire e confermare ) ???????????????? 3? 14-15 Strumenti free di pen-testing per reti wireless a cura del Lilik Una sessione di spippolo e spiegazione su come i recenti protocolli wireless si siano rivelati insicuri e su come GNU/Linux abbia dimostrato di essere la piattaforma pi? versatile per produrre test si sicurezza su reti wireless. 4? 15-16 "Sviluppare applicativi di rete con Python e Twisted" di Christopher Gabriel L'intervento illustra la semplicita' attraverso la quale e' possibile sviluppare servizi e client di rete utilizzando Python e la libreria Twisted, che offre un framework asincrono di base con supporto per i principali protocolli di rete. ############################################################################# -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFMzNJIsKqkiZ2KZARAuTVAKC9fw+ocYtdOGWNJRa2a/e+p45ovACeOVPq EEeFjv8qU2CwsdOQrDMjwlI= =1Qoa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ flug mailing list flug at firenze.linux.it https://lists.firenze.linux.it/mailman/listinfo/flug
