Instructor-Led Training
I was recently talking with a close friend who works as a systems software developer for a small startup technology company. The architects are planning a transition to Linux servers as their platform, but the company does not want to provide Linux training for their staff. When I asked why, he replied, "It's too expensive." Even though the OS license is free, the documentation is free, and the source code is free, this company was overlooking an important factor: the costs of inadequate training can far exceed the costs of educating staff.
Networked systems in the workplace continue to grow and expand. As an example, the current growth rate of the Internet is a factor of two every eight months. Linux is considered by many to be the most powerful and versatile network operating system to arrive on the scene in recent years. Due to its power and flexibility, its rate of deployment is also growing rapidly. More and more organizations are turning to Linux as a low-cost, reliable and increasingly supported network-computing platform for a variety of business and Internet applications.
As businesses strive to keep up with this fast-paced network development, their employees need to experience a parallel growth in skills for optimum job performance. Unfortunately, it's common for organizations to bring in training providers only after the need becomes evident—almost as an afterthought. This makeshift method of training prevents adequate planning for anticipated time and financial investments. And "reactive" vs. "proactive" training programs are a sure-fire way to knock off any company's competitive edge.
A Linux training solution that is designed to grow along with an organization brings benefits that can permeate operations across the board. Sufficient education ensures that senior administrators are not overwhelmed with on-the-job training, encourages employees to stay on for the long term, reduces the likelihood of emergencies and strengthens employees' ability to deal with a crisis.
Employees who can benefit from Linux training range from NT administrators with little or no Linux command-line experience to experienced UNIX systems administrators with a broad background in heterogeneous environments.
When introducing or expanding the use of Linux into an organization, the phases of deployment must be dovetailed with a training plan. Clearly, the first training phase should be aimed at decision makers and system administrators. Key administrators and IT managers often attend training sessions together, working and learning as a team. The next phase involves a pilot program, with Linux installed in isolated situations. As the Linux system is implemented throughout the organization, the scope of training broadens to include system developers, content and media professionals and other users. Finally, ongoing training is used to refresh knowledge and ramp up employees new to their organization.
Every Linux distribution is based on the GNU (open-source software that functions as UNIX but is not UNIX) tools and shells, and the installed systems are frequently referred to as GNU/Linux platforms. Since the power and flexibility afforded by Linux begins at the command line, the first level of training should begin with the Bourne Again Shell (bash) along with GNU utilities. The second level of training should address installation of a GNU/Linux distribution, including the best techniques for planning and executing the installation. The third training level should instruct students in the configuration and maintenance of freely distributed software services and daemons running under Linux, along with security and lock-down practices.
During the training cycle, system administrators will be unavailable for their regular duties. Larger organizations often arrange for on-site delivery of the courses. On-site training, where education providers bring the "classroom" directly to a company location, can reduce expenses such as travel costs and also reduce employees' training time obligations.
Providing sufficient operations support for available staff is critical to a successful training plan. Whether courses are held on or off site, students must be relieved of work responsibilities (or on-call status). If a student remains in the classroom while attempting to provide ad-hoc hotline support for an operational crisis, it's a lose/lose situation. The student is unable to focus sufficiently on both the training and the crisis support—the value of training is lost, and the quality of support is marginal. Students must mentally and physically detach to immerse themselves in classroom experience to maximize the return on the educational investment.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Get healthy or get tough. Thats the two options facing South Pointes football team.
Friday night there wasnt much they could do about the former, so the Stallions got tough, knocking off Nation Ford 43-14 to stay unbeaten on the season. Strait Herrons team was missing its two biggest stars in quarterback Devin Pearson and defensive tackle Zeek Rodney, but it hardly mattered as junior Davonta Blake stepped in under center and barely missed a beat, while the South Pointe (7-0, 3-0) defense intercepted Nation Ford (5-2, 2-1) six times to stymie the Falcons high-flying offense.
I was worried all week, said Herron, whose team is ranked third in the state behind Byrnes and Goose Creek. Nation Ford can score a lot of points and offensively we were gonna have to control the ball.
They did that thanks to the solid performance from Blake. He completed 20-of-33 passes for 251 yards and three touchdowns, and more importantly, only turned the ball over once. Blake showed good passing ability, especially on a 32-yard touchdown dart to Kyle Brandt in the back of the end zone that put South Pointe ahead 29-7 in the second half.
An insatiable run game eased Blakes night too. Senior C.J. Pendergrass racked up 118 yards and a touchdown on just 12 carries and junior bruiser Josh Brice added 71 yards on 13 touches. The two combined for three rushing scores and more than made up for Pearsons absence.
A playmaker like Devin goes out, you always gotta have other guys step up and we were able to do that, said Pendergrass. We cant get healthier but we can always get tougher. Hit the weight room this week, have other players keep stepping up.
South Pointes offense hardly missed Pearson, and its defense barely missed Rodney, who left the game early with a hyper-extended left elbow. His return for next weeks game against Rock Hill is questionable at best.
Cody Blake and Anthony Johnson had two interceptions each to lead an aggressive Stallions secondary. Dijuan Ussery took a short pass and blazed through South Pointes defensive backfield to tie the score at 7-7. It was an eye-opener for the Stallions secondary, which played almost perfectly the rest of the way.
It was a big wakeup, said Cody Blake, because we couldnt get our hands on him, hes real fast.
Helms six interceptions were more than hed throw all season, as the Falcons got off to a 5-1 start, the best in school history. But Helms and the Nation Ford traveling support might have known it was to be a rough night when Devin Starnes intercepted the junior on the games first play. The Falcons were able to pop the ball out of Starnes grasp and recover in the end zone for a touchback, but it was a play with more than a hint of omen about it.
South Pointe claimed the opening lead with an imposing 11-play drive capped off by Pendergrass 1-yard touchdown run. It took Nation Ford one minute to tie the game. A.K. McCoys kickoff return got the Falcons near midfield and Dalton Helms hit Ussery with a short slant that the speedy senior took 45 yards to the end zone.
South Pointe duly marched back down the field, but Blake threw a pick in the end zone, Brandon Cureton making the defensive play for the Falcons. The Stallions stopped Nation Ford though, stuffing a fake punt attempt before reclaiming the lead. Pendergrass ripped off a 91-yard run, only for the Falcons to hunt him down just shy of the end zone. But Josh Brice pounded in from four yards several snaps later to make it 14-7.
After Blake found Brandt in the end zone to put the Stallions up three scores, McCoy scored a 45-yard touchdown almost identical to Usserys first half strike. That cut the home teams lead to 29-14 and had the Falcons thinking about a comeback. But Blake marched South Pointe right back down the field, eventually finding P.J. Heath with a short pass that the senior took into the end zone to stretch the lead to 35-14, and squeeze any accumulated wind out of the Falcons sails.

Muslims pass on faith to children at higher rates than Christians
14 February 2012
Muslims in England and Wales are practising their faith and passing it on to their children at much higher rates than any other religion, including Christianity, a new Cardiff University study shows.
The study, published on-line in the journal Sociology, says that the proportion of adult Muslims actively practising the faith they were brought up in as children was 77%, compared with 29% of Christians and 65% of other religions.
The study also found that 98% of Muslim children surveyed said they had the religion their parents were brought up in, compared with 62% of Christians and 89% of other religions.
The team analysed data from the Home Office's 2003 Citizenship Survey data, using 13,988 replies from adults and 1,278 from young people aged 11 to 15.
In the study the researchers, from Cardiff's School of Social Sciences and Centre for the Study of Islam in the UK, suggest reasons for the higher rate of transmission of religion. "There is more involvement of Muslim young people in religious organisations," they say. "It is well known that there is considerable supplementary education for Muslim children such as the formal learning of the Qur'an in Arabic.
"The apparently much higher rates of intergenerational transmission in Muslims and members of other non-Christian non-Muslim religions are certainly worthy of further exploration and may in fact pose a challenge to blanket judgements about the decline of British religion.
"These higher rates might suggest support for the theory that for minority ethnic populations, religion can be an important resource in bolstering a sense of cultural distinctiveness."
The research team was Professor Jonathan Scourfield, Dr Sophie Gilliat-Ray, Asma Khan, Dr Sameh Otri, Dr Graham Moore and Dr Chris Taylor. The paper is entitled 'Intergenerational transmission of Islam in England and Wales: evidence from the Citizenship Survey' and Sociology is published by the British Sociological Association.
Professor Scourfield added: "Muslim children tend to lead busy lives, often attending religious education classes outside school three or more times each week on top of any other commitments they have.
"They typically learn to read the Qur'an in Arabic. They also learn a great deal about their faith from parents and other family members. Religion can have an especially important role for minority communities in keeping together the bonds between families from the same ethnic background."

SAN FRANCISCO -- If Dwyane Wade didn't set a modern-day NBA record on Monday for boarding a postgame bus, then he came pretty close.
After normal road games — win or lose — Wade is usually still sitting at his locker room receiving treatment 10 minutes after a game. That's when NBA locker rooms are opened to reporters for postgame interviews.
The time between the end of a game and when doors are opened is known as the "cool-down period." It's when players and coaches calm down enough after games so they don't say anything they might regret.
The Heat's cool-down period went long Monday. When reporters were finally allowed into the locker room, Wade was dressed and ready to leave. On a night Heat coach Erik Spoelstra benched Wade for underperforming, Wade couldn't get out of Salt Lake City's EnergySolutions Arena fast enough.
For obvious reasons, Wade wasn't in a talkative mood. The Heat lost to the Jazz 104-97, and Wade watched the Heat's failed fourth-quarter attempt at a comeback from the bench. Wearing a colorful down jacket, Wade answered questions professionally but with one eye figuratively on the door. He wanted out of there as quickly as possible.
Wade, who had 11 points, four assists and five rebounds through three quarters, said he didn't know why he was benched in the final period.
"Coach makes the calls," Wade said. "I'm just a player."
Earlier this month, Wade was averaging more than 20 points per game and appeared to be fully healed from his offseason knee surgery. His offensive production has dipped since then. He scored 11 points in each of the Heat's past two games.
Wade was 3 of 5 from the field against the Kings, but he had seven assists, a few of which went to Mario Chalmers, who tied the Heat's franchise record with10 three-pointers. Against the Jazz, Wade was 5 of 11 from the field and 0 for 3 from the free-throw line.
Spoelstra also benched Heat forward Chris Bosh for much of the fourth quarter against the Jazz. Bosh finished the game with one rebound, which came late in the second quarter.
He entered the game in the final 40 seconds, but by then it the game was all but lost. The Jazz led 100-93.
"Everybody in our locker room, staff, players, everybody included, has to give more, and that's the bottom line," Spoelstra said. "We have to give more to get us over the hump and get a quality win."
The Heat is 1-3 on its current six-game game trip. Miami has not defeated a team with a winning record since Christmas Day and is 8-9 on the road for the season.
LeBron James, who played 44 minutes against the Jazz, led the team with 32 points. He is 18 points shy of becoming the youngest player in NBA history to reach 20,000 career points.
Although James said his heavy minutes was "tough," his biggest concern after the game was the Heat's lack of energy.
"Low energy against a team like this in their building in front of their amazing crowd — we can't play with low energy," James said.
After the game, Bosh suggested that his low rebounding statistics of late — he's averaging 4.5 boards in his past eight games — is a product of the team's rebounding strategy.
Because of its lack of size, the Heat relies on "team rebounding" to remain competitive on the glass against opponents.
"Well, you know, sometimes I'm in a position where I have to compete with my guys for the rebound," Bosh said. "And sometimes I do get beat. I'm human. You know, I'm a ballplayer."
Bosh added that he's not worried about his rebounding numbers and probably never will be. Although Bosh's rebounding numbers are down, he leads the team in field-goal percentage (.557).
With two of his stars on the bench, Spoelstra played James, Rashard Lewis, Ray Allen, Joel Anthony and Mario Chalmers for the majority of the fourth quarter. James, Lewis, Allen and Chalmers played all 12 minutes of the period.
For Lewis, who had been out of the Heat's regular rotation until this road trip, it was his largest contribution of the season. He played a season-high 27 minutes and scored 13 points.
"It's a tough position to be in," Bosh said. "Even if you do come back, sometimes you run out of gas at the finish line. But I'm proud of our guys that did play. They competed."
Of course, the Heat's locker-room drama on this six-game road trip should be kept in perspective. On Tuesday, an off day for the team in San Francisco, the Heat (24-12) was a half-game ahead of the Knicks for first place in the Eastern Conference.

A Professional Game Run By Amateurs

Arsenal should be embarrassed by the admin error that led to Arsene Wenger naming only six subs against Bayern Munich. But this sort of thing happens all the time in football...
All Articles
According to the stats and our friends at WhoScored, the top five centre-halves in the Premier League thus far this season are Dejan Lovren, Jose Fonte, Curtis Davies, Winston Reid and Sylvain Distin. The sixth name on the list is one John Terry.
Last season it looked like Terry's career was winding down. Already slow, his turning circle had gone from oil tanker to oil rig, and he appeared to be more susceptible to injuries too. Before, he was robust to the point of stupidity, playing on with knocks and strains and tweaks that would have sidelined most other players, but last season he spent over two months out with a knee injury.
Furthermore, in previous years he would have been bundled straight back into the Chelsea team when he could just about stand, but he was a sporadic presence in the first team under Roberto Di Matteo and Rafa Benitez, making just 11 league starts and not playing more than two games in a row after returning to fitness at the end of January. In David Luiz, Gary Cahill and Branislav Ivanovic, Chelsea had enough central defensive cover that they didn't need to rely on their ageing captain, who looked to be on his way out.
However, this season it has all changed. Terry looks like a new player, and hasn't missed a single minute of Premier League football. The only games he didn't start were the UEFA back-slapping exercise at the European Super Cup, the League Cup game at Swindon (when Jose Mourinho picked such a second string that Juan Mata started...) and against Basel in the Champions League. A game which, the astute of you will have noticed, Chelsea lost.
Terry might not be back to his absolute peak, but other than Oscar and Eden Hazard, few have performed better for Chelsea so far this season. And it's not difficult to figure out to whom he attributes his comeback.
"My career is where it is because of this man sitting next to me," he said before Chelsea's Champions League win against Schalke. "I'm very proud to be working with him again."
It's hardly surprising that Mourinho has returned to the players that served him so well in his first spell at Stamford Bridge, and hasn't repeated the divide and conquer approach he tried by alienating Iker Casillas at Real Madrid. Terry and Frank Lampard were devoted to Mourinho from 2004-07, and it seems a similar amount of faith is paying off now.
Consistency of selection seems to be the key. Terry said this week: "I've always been sure of myself ability-wise, but it's impossible when you're in and out of the side to pick up your own form. When I did play I was scoring and playing well. But the manager chose the other two."
"We don't put him under pressure to play five or six consecutive matches," said Mourinho recently. "It's better to play two in a row and get really fit, then be ready physically to cope with the sequence of matches.
"In this moment he is fine. It doesn't mean that he will always be first choice for me, and he knows that, but he also knows that I trust him and I am happy with the way he is performing. The situation for him now is good."
It's not only careful physical planning that has contributed to Terry's return to form. According to Mourinho, it has plenty to do with reclaiming some of the confidence that was lost after spending plenty of last season on the bench.
"He is recovering his self-esteem, recovering the feeling of being an important player for the team which he lost," said Mourinho last week, while suggesting that Terry could return to the national team, which brings us on to another consideration.
An interesting by-product of Terry's good form for Chelsea is how it might impact on England's plans for the World Cup. After Terry's international 'retirement', Phil Jagielka and Terry's clubmate Gary Cahill have established themselves as central-defensive pairing in Roy Hodgson's side. The pair were excellent against Ukraine and solid in the games since, but the chances are that, if this season carries on in a similar vein, Cahill will go to Brazil as England's first choice, but his club's third or fourth choice. Mourinho doesn't seem keen to partner Terry and Cahill in the Chelsea defence (and with good reason, such are their similarities), so if Terry's good form and renewed confidence continues, how many games will Cahill play before next summer?
For Chelsea though, those concerns are secondary. What is important for the moment is that Terry, who looked like he was on his way out, is back.

Thread: Winny released
I say it's more drafting. Had we drafted well in 2007, 8 and 9... we would not have a problem in 2010. Instead we missed on several mid round selections and ended up with a decayed roster. Our signings were perfect and got us.... near playoffs in 2007, playoffs in 2008, NFC champ game in 2009 . Had we drafted correctly... when Phat pat left... we should have had a guy to replace him. We didn't. When sharper left... we should have had a safety to replace him we did not. Griffen... no CB... WR... QB... etc. Our mid round drafting stunk and because of that... our roster decayed.
They DID discuss a lower salary with Winfield prior to cutting him.
Leslie Frazier: Vikings want Antoine Winfield back - NFL.com
The Vikings cut Winfield on Tuesday after the cornerback declined a pay cut.
Yes, they could have approached JA or Williams and worked on their caps to try and get the money to retain him at that price, but would it have been worth it? I don't think so, and nobody else did either. His contract in Seattle is $3 million with $1m guaranteed. I have to think that is similar to what we offered him, given the RFA tender that we gave Jefferson, and he chose to go to Seattle. I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that Seattle is poised for the playoffs this year, whereas we are still building. In fact, I think that was the PRIMARY reason, not any type of salary causality.Zeus wrote:
When are you going to realize that picking out the 20 bad throws this year and ignoring the 300 good ones does not make your point?
Are you saying reducing a DE from making 17 million is not worth it?
Actually they didn't. Informally asking a player... would you take a pay cut is not the league norm. There tends to be a presentation of figures. It has been stated that they never brought numbers to the table for Winny to turn down or not. Teams often ask players if they will take a pay cut.... they almost always decline.... Teams then come back with figures and say take it or be cut. That is the true negotiation. We didnt do that for winny. It's been said over and over... hence the disbelief in why he was cut.
You are making a lot of assumptions about the way negotiations are handled in the NFL. It also hasn't been said over and over - it was said once, and reported over and over. Neither you or I were actually involved in the discussions, so neither of us can really say what happened.
To the Jared Allen comment, exactly what do you propose? You make it sound like it is as easy as calling JA up and telling him you are going to restructure the contract and he happily agrees. You said yourself that players almost always decline. It is one thing to sit on our coaches as say "We should restructure JA's contract", and it is another thing altogether to actually do it.
Plus, in order to restructure a players contract, you almost always have to redo their contract with a large front end signing bonus, which is amortized over the years of the contract (up to five years), and then increasing the salary each year. This especially true when you are talking about a high performing player who has a large amount due to them this year. We would end up paying for the restructure for years to come. Would that really have been worth it to keep Winfield at $7.2million? I don't think it would have been.Zeus wrote:
When are you going to realize that picking out the 20 bad throws this year and ignoring the 300 good ones does not make your point?
Been traveling like a madman...missed that. Appreciate the clarification. It is what it is. Glad they gave him the professional courtesy of at least making an offer.
Oh, and I was not suggesting reworking anyone's contract to pay him $7+MM. I was suggesting doing that to pay him a much lower rate, which, they must have figured out a different way. Regardless, he's gone, I've moved on.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent
As a matter of fact, I do know
It says that Winfield will make 3 million next year and that only 1 million is guaranteed, and it also said that the Vikings offered a similar deal with all of it guaranteed. Think maybe Winfield was just pissed off at the team and that is why he decided to leave?
Nobody will know the true story behind his release. Was he asked to reduce his salary in February? Maybe days before the start of free agency? The only way anyone will know is if Winfield himself comes out and says it. The fact is, whatever the case may be, the Vikings dropped the ball big time on this one. They had since January to start talking with his reps, and they said they cut him right before the start of free agency so that he could catch on with another team out of fairness to him. Yet they begged him to come back as soon as other teams started showing interest in him.
I also believe they didn't have to release him when they did, as they could have signed the guys they did, been over the cap, and asked guys like K-Will and Allen to restructure. If K-Will wouldn't, he would be released, if Allen wouldn't, he would be getting his full contract, its as simple as that. I would rather have Winfield in our weak ass secondary than K-Will on the DL who we at least have guys to take over for him.
This team better get off their asses and get some good help at the CB position, otherwise I am going to laugh my ass off every single time the Vikings get scorched by the very good QB's that we play. Fuck, with this secondary, the QB doesn't even have to be that good to scorch this team. When is this team finally going to get it right?
So lets see, the Seahawks have now had Burleson, Jackson, Rice, Bevell, Farwell, Harvin, and Winfield since the 2010 season, with Burleson obviously gone before Rice got there. That is 7 members of the Vikings that are now/or were Seahawks in the past 4 or so years. What the fuck?
Now will that not tell everyone something if next year they win the fucking SB with Rice, Harvin, Farwell, and Winfield on the team, and Bevell calling the plays when we couldn't win it with all those guys in 2009 and having Favre as our QB, and AD as our RB? All I know is I am sick and fucking tired of every year this team failing. I seriously do not know how much longer I can continue to support a team that just doesn't get it.
<rolls eyes>
With all due respect to Rice, Farwell and Winfield... if the Seahawks win the Super Bowl this year, it won't be because they are on the team. Harvin is the only player that they have gotten from the Vikings who will likely make an impact this year. Winfield may have had a great season last year, but he will be the nickle corner on the Seahawks, behind Sherman and Browner.
And it isn't uncommon to see a handful of players follow a pipeline to another team. There are only 32 teams in the league, so when a team is very active in free agency for three or four years, you are bound to have some common teams.
Finally, if you are so sick and tired of watching the Vikings... don't watch. Of course, when they start winning again, I am sure you will be back to your old bandwagon self. How ironic that you said this in another thread:

Hey, that is passion man. If you are ok with this team NEVER winning a SB, and always saying "There is always next year" then that is on you brother. I have been a diehard fan of this team for the better part of 25 years, my entire rec room is devoted to the Vikings and a shit load of COA autographed memorabilia.
I am just frustrated to no end with this team always failing. I don't watch sports just to have something to do on the weekends, I am passionate about my teams and put a lot of money into them. I have backed them when they sucked, backed them when they have played good, and constantly have to come up with shit to defend them with all my Packer buddies. How much more can I say about a team that has NEVER won the SB? I am not the type of guy to back down from an argument, but I have nothing when it comes to accomplishments from this team. It's getting extremely old if you haven't already figured that out.
So no, that is not the pot calling the kettle black, its a frustrated fan of a team that for whatever reason can't figure out how to win the big one. I never said I hated this team and that I was not going to watch them, so learn how to read before you call me out.

The presidential campaign has gotten so heated over the attacks and counterattacks from the Obama and Romney campaigns that it's easy to forget that larger issues are at stake in November. That's unfortunate because, beneath the froth, there is an important ideological debate to be had about America's future.
The attacks are, I suppose, inevitable. But let's be honest: They're largely untrue or irrelevant. Whatever the paperwork shows, Mitt Romney was not running Bain Capital after February 1999. Even if he had been, outsourcing jobs to lower a company's costs — and ensure its survival — is not sleazy; it's how you run a business efficiently. (Is President Obama suggesting that we put up tariff barriers to prevent outsourcing in the future?) On the other side, Romney's recent claim accusing the president of shoveling government grants to his political supporters was so twisted it earned the Fact Checker's highest score for distortion — "Four Pinocchios."

french dip sauce is watery and from a can, disappointing for such high prices. cheese wasn't even melted. meet was fine, but the whole thing was pretty plain. not acceptable for the sticker price. this seems a midtown, overpriced cliche. and it was very courteous for the mgr to call since I stated I'm allergic to gluten so no bun, but both their chips and fries use gluten oil. they know this has to change, and are working on it. for GF people, potatoes ARE the bread substitute. hurry!

I ordered the over priced 3 cheese mac and it was more like kraft white cheddar mac and cheese and the pineapple upside down cake should have been flipped upside down into the trash. The mac and cheese had some sort of breaded fried red onions which had mold on it....NEVER AGAIN!!!

the on-screen keyboard
We've been working on may improvements to both the code and the user interface in the last few months. These include improving how it works with a hardware keyboard, being able to move it around the screen on a device, better performance, features like caps- and num-lock (by double-tapping the respective buttons).
There is much more we'd like to do with it, however. If you go to Plasma Active's open tasks page you can find a number of tasks open for the keyboard. This includes things like adding arrow keys to it (these are already supported in the code, we just need to enable them, in a nice way, in the tablet layout), adding locale support so people can easily get to their ü's and ç's, providing copy and paste functionality and more.
These are all bite-sized projects and the code is easily accessible in the Plasma Addons repository under applets/plasmaboard. The stand-alone shell is in the Plasma Mobile repository in the virtualkeyboard directory.
If you're looking for an easy way to get involved with Plasma development that will help Desktop, Netbook and Active simultaneously, look no further. This is a really nice little project to get started with, and we're happy to help you get your legs in the code. :)

There is also problem with login manager since kde doesnt work with on-screen keywboards, so it is impossible to login using kdm on tablet pc

I have some idea about merge screen keyboard thing with input method support.
Obviously currently keyboard can generates key event and pass to input method, but the input method will also provides it's own input window. I hope in the future this on-screen will support some future like the keyboard on the android.
Actually KDE already have kimpanel protocol and can use it to communicate with input method. So I think this can be implement easily. (And I have a rewritten dataengine for kimpanel and hope to contribute this to KDE in future.) - 5/9/11 02:49
- Aaron J. Seigo said...
@KAMiKAZOW: no; we evaluated maliit, however the keyboard plasmoid predated maliit being a valid target and even now we're not sure maliit is a long-term solution (even though many parts of it look quite good). we can always switch to it as a technology behind the keyboard later, of course, should that prove to be a valid path.
@alexxy: right now we're not developing for a username/password log-in based system. autologin is what we're assuming for the moment, and in future it wold be nice to see a KDM with a touch based log in syste, not necessarily password based, as that doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense for these kinds of devices.
however .. all THAT said, i would still like to see KDM with virtual keyboard support. the KDM Plasma project may be able to provide just that.
the big issue right now with KDM is that the virtual keyboard container is not started when KDM is, and i have no idea how well it would actually work in practice right now (no window manager, etc). would be interesting for someone to try this out, however, and let us know!
@csslayer: yes, i'd like to see the keyboard directly handle the multibyte input method events when the keyboard is shown. no point in two systems, as you note.
that dataengine you mention sounds interesting; i hope you can post it soon for others to see and try! :) - 5/9/11 09:16

What are the specific points that made you not chose Maliit after evaluating it?
Looking at your priorities, it seems like a good fit:
* KWin virtual keyboard awareness
Works out-of-the box as far as I know.
* Copy/paste of text?
A toolbar can be enabled that provides copy/past buttons on the keyboard. Our experience is that ideally this interaction should be done on toolkit side though.
* Add arrow keys to the tablet layout
* Characters for more locales (e.g. German, French, etc)
Some 20 good layouts for different locales are provided.
* Gtk+ IM plugin to trigger it
Done. http://gitorious.org/meegotouch-inputmethodbridges
* Multi-byte input
Just-works. See above layouts, or some of the layouts created with MesInput.
We also have solved input of composed scripts (CJK for instance)
* Rewrite in QML
There is a QML based plugin available.
* Ensure that line edit does not get obscured by keyboard
This should maybe have been your first priority. Maliit has toolkit integration for this in Qt Components, Meego UX components and Libmeegotouch, and the expertise to help you realize it in your toolkit. http://wiki.meego.com/images/Technical-overview-widget-reloc.pdf
A toolkit independent fallback has also been written: http://wiki.maliit.org/Ideas#Window_relocation - 6/9/11 10:39
- Aaron J. Seigo said...
@Jon Nordby: kwin integration, arrow keys and locale layouts are already supported by the virtual keyboard being used currently in Plasma Active. what is needed is for them to be incorporated into the default layout that is used for the tablet and a way to switch quickly / nicely between localized layouts in the shell the keyboard appears in.
i do like how maliit has that nice swipe gesture for it, as well as the long hold for accented keys.
copy and paste support (and i agree that its best done on the toolkit end, but...), gtk+ IM plugin and multibyte input are indeed bits that maliit currently does nicer.
after reading the linked PDF on making the lineedit visible (thanks for the link :) it strikes me that this is much more about the toolkit, or in this case the QML components, than the keyboard itself. did i just understand the PDF incorrectly?
in any case: i'd be happy to see a maliit based solution that integrates nicely with Plasma Active (and, for that matter, Plasma Desktop) on our target OSes. particularly if it relieves us of development effort and gives us a high quality component.
it was a while since i last tride Maliit, so i grabbed it fresh from git to try it out on my laptop (no packages for openSUSE that i could find) and after running the demo app found that:
* it requires compositing (fine for tablet where we can require that; not so great on the desktop where many run w/out)
* the letter keys didn't actually work (enter and delete keys worked, sending the characters to the target window in the demo app just fine)
* swipe to change layouts didn't work (perhaps i didn't have something configured right there?)
* couldn't figure out how to hide the keyboard without pressing "Hide keyboard" in the demo app
and obviously (though this is a relatively minor issue, as i assume theming is easy enough) it doesn't fit the Plasma look and feel at all.
so it isn't a panacea. it has issues, but it also has benefits.
the last bit of concern is the contributions and code size. mallit is ~51kloc; the plasma keyboard is ~3.2kloc. maliit is obviously designed to be more generic and flexible and so that difference in code weight. however, it also means that if it ends up with us having to maintain that codebase in the future, for whatever reason, it's hefty.
33 people have contributed to maliit, according to git. in the framework there are 7 commits from ixonos, 76 from vincit, 314 from openisumus and 527 from nokia. 3 from intel and 13 from others. the plugins are slightly more stark:
nokia: 997
openismus: 299
vincit: 252
ixonos: 7
others: 1 (3 lines of code to do with ruby)
my concern here is that maliit is evidently a successful commercial opensource project (a positive thing) which has been apparently driven by the needs of the companies around meego (Nokia and Intel primarily it seems?) when both of those companies seem to be taking distancing steps from the platform. this makes me wonder about the future maintenance of maliit, which may be completely an unfounded concern (and please help give me a better foundation for the assessment if there is one! :)
by contrast, plasmaboard has had 16 different contributors from a variety of companies as well as the volunteer contributor community. this isn't a panacea, either, of course, but it's a 3.2kloc asset (pretty small, all told) that we understand pretty well, giving it a good maintenance story.
what i have to weigh is the future risk, current costs and current benefits of all possible paths.
if there is interest on behalf of the maliit project in coordinating with us and working on having maliit The Virtual Keyboard in Plasma Active, i'd love to have that conversation. irc, email, skype, phone, whichever :)
cheers.. - 6/9/11 15:00

No, you understood the PDF correctly. Widget relocation is mostly about the toolkit. But it requires integration with the input method framework, the information about what area the input method covers (and thus needs to be avoided) comes from the framework.
In an environment where windows can be freely moved around (not very common on mobile platforms), you'd have to incorporate something like what is shown in the second link in addition.
* it requires compositing
We had code for supporting for using shaped windows instead, but we dropped it. It could be brought back if there is a good use case for it.
* swipe to change layouts didn't work
The currently built-by-default input method plugin is the QML one, as it does not have any extra dependencies. It does not support this feature or indeed most of the nice things our other keyboard plugin does.
* couldn't figure out how to hide the keyboard without pressing "Hide keyboard" in the demo app
The input method is available when you have an input widget focused, and dismissed when you don't. The other keyboard plugin also allows you to swipe down on the keyboard to dismiss (which will result in focus out in application, maintaining the invariant). The hide button simply steals focus from the input widget.
Maliit for sure is no panacea. There are plenty of issues, especially when you take it outside the environment it was initially developed for. But that people do that is important for our project (and thus my interest here):
We are actively working to make Maliit more than just a successful commercial open source project, we want to make its life and success independent of any single party. This is non-trivial, as I'm sure you understand, but I think we can succeed.
=== More to the point:
I think the potential benefits of Maliit for KDE lies mostly in the framework. The plug-ins we provide are less important seeing as you already have plasmaboard.
The framework is what enables the Gtk+ IM support, the widget relocation for mentioned supported toolkits, support for other input method plugins (commercial or open), et.c.
Therefore what I propose that you consider is to have the plasmaboard be a Maliit input method plugin. You could even make it an optional thing. I'd argue that the risk of trying this is very low, and the cost should not be too prohibitive either.
If you're interested in this, I suggest you get in contact using one of our communication channels listed on maliit.org
We are interested! - 6/9/11 18:08
- Jon Nordby said...
Hey, you did not respond to my last comment about using the plasmaboard as a Maliit plugin.
Maliit is now in Mer (Middleware), and I understand that Plasma Active is also targeting it. To have a good input method story on Mer I think it would be ideal to integrate Plasma and Maliit.
You will find me in #mer and #active, or in the Maliit channels. - 7/11/11 17:31
- Murray said...
Aaron, it looks like Jon is still hoping for a response.
Also, is there any new status on this keyboard? And what should we call this keyboard - does it have a name? - 15/11/11 08:28
- Aaron J. Seigo said...
@Murray: unfortunately i'm overly busy these days and lack the time to start a big forray into Maliit integration.
as for status on the plasma keyboard, yes, there has been a fair amount of progress since this blog posting, mostly in terms of bug fixing and performance improvements (as i covered in another recent blog)
it doesn't particularly have a name, as it isn't the sort of thing that gets a lot of discussion / attention (other than "is there a keyboard? does it work?"). "plasmaboard" is what it shows up as in the widget listings, however .. - 15/11/11 10:42
- Kyle said...
It would be hugely beneficial if the plasma keyboard had a word completion feature. I cannot type so I use an onsreen keyboard (archaic xvkbd) clicking one key at a time.

I'm not quite sure if you will see this post, but your blog post seem to alway come up as a reference in my research.
I trying to have a similar plasma active keyboard working in the desktop environment... ie, pop up when the cursor fall in an input area. It work nicely in active, but I personnaly don't like the "tablet layout"... I'm rather old school.
However, on my brand new asus eeepc t101mt, with touch screen, I really like it to be working.
Considering it is plasma environment, is it possible to bring the active keyboard to the desktop layout?
Thanks for your time.

I uploaded a video showing how time consuming it is to type one character at a time using an onscreen keyboard that lacks word completion.

CES: D-Link joins WiDi wireless display crowd
LAS VEGAS--You've heard of Netgear's new Push2TV HD--now there's competition.
D-Link announced at CES 2011 that it supports Intel's Wireless Display technology, known as WiDi, with a first product called the MainStage.
Like all WiDi-based accessories, the MainStage allows people to instantly display a laptop's (and even some desktops') screen on the big TV.
Supporting the next generation of WiDi, the MainStage is very similar to Netgear's Push2TV HD. According to Daniel Kelly, D-Link associate vice president of marketing, the reason D-Link waited until now to support WiDi is because this technology is … Read more

Expert: 4 people's blood on Afghan spree suspect
JOINT BASE LEWIS-McCHORD, Wash. (AP) — A U.S. Army DNA expert testified Thursday that the soldier suspected of killing 16 Afghan civilians during a nighttime rampage last March had the blood of at least four people on his clothes and guns when he surrendered.
The blood of two males and two females was discovered on Staff Sgt. Robert Bales' pants, shirt, gloves, rifle and other items, said Christine Trapolsi, an examiner at the Army's Criminal Investigation Laboratory.

Hawai'i sunset
