Linux Access in State and Local Government, Part III
K12 Linux may be the mecca of open-source success. As school districts represent a part of state and local government, one has to wonder how their many case studies are practically unknown. As other sectors of state and local governments struggle with budget deficits, political pressure and uncertainty, Linux school projects represent tangible progress and offer empirical evidence of success.
If one wanted to find information about the use of Linux in state government, where would one go? The first thought would be an Internet search engine. Any combination of search terms for state government, though, return a chaotic mess.
If one wants to find information about Linux in schools, a search engine would take you to cyber foundries such as SchoolForge. Once there, you would find the information, tools and materials necessary to forge or make a school and all its parts. If such sites existed for government, we could see more tangible progress and empirical evidence of success for the entire Open Source community.
State and local governments need software applications for numerous tasks, including administration, finance, public works, law enforcement, courts, regulatory compliance, record management, facilities and transportation. The catalog of application requirements might surprise even the most sophisticated consultants. In most government units, facilities exist for services and communication between 1) government and citizens, 2) government and businesses and 3) government and other governments.
To gain perspective on the broad scope and complexity of government processes, you can use the federal Management Agenda Document. Start at section 5.3 in the document's appendix and continue toward the end. From these pages, you can get an idea of the applications required to run at the federal level. Scale each of those down to the state, county and city levels, and the functional requirements still remain large. For example, consider a searchable land deed database at the county level. Add a marriage database and another one for divorces, one for driving infractions, one for birth certificates and another for tax assessments, and you can begin to understand the scope.
Let's change the picture for a moment; imagine a web site for government applications. Instead of building one from scratch, we can put up a LAMP application for each government function that others can download. Suddenly, you have a resource center. If someone needs a 911-call center application, they probably could choose from several.
In the K12Linux domain, if you need an application, you probably would stop at SchoolForge and then click the link to the Seul/Edu Educational Application Index to discover a repository of applications. Here you can find 80 administrative applications that one can download, plus 98 language programs and more. The site contains 612 open-source applications in 23 categories, such as courseware, math and library applications. And that's only one of several K12Linux web sites.
Imagine such a collection of government software somewhere. If we added a news site and resource center, a mailing list and Faq-O-Matic, we would create a community of interest. Linux people already know what community-of-interest web sites accomplish.
If you haven't looked at the K12 web sites, you might have a difficult time visualizing how much Linux has grown. You should want to dig deeply into the sites, as they provide rich content. To begin, the SchoolForge members' page provides an impressive list of people working in the Linux school projects.
Once you've visited this SchoolForge site, you might have a confusing moment when you visit the other Schoolforge site. The URLs are different, but the names have only a slight difference. The second site's full name is Schoolforge News and Journal; notice the lowercase f in this name. The SchoolForge site appears to exist in New York state, and the registrant is Teachers Internet Pages. The Schoolforge site appears to be based in Canada under the name of members.iteachnet.org. The two sites do share content.
One has to wonder if Northwest school districts took ostrich lessons; they must represent the biggest secret in the Linux community. If their successes occurred in New York, Microsoft would be fighting for 5% of the PC desktop share.
In Portland, Oregon Riverdale School began using Linux servers in 1995. In turn, it influenced a number of other Oregon schools to migrate to Linux. I learned of Riverdale whiling leading an article about Linux migration for Centennial Schools, in late 1999.
We discovered that several large districts in Oregon followed Riverdale's example. Those districts include Beaverton Schools, the Multnomah County ESD, Linn-Benton-Lincoln ESD, Lane ESD, Parkrose Schools, Portland Public Schools, Tigard-Tualatin Schools and Umatilla-Morrow ESD. In a recent survey conducted by the North West Regional Educational Laboratory, 79% of the sixty-four educational agencies responding used Linux as a server operating system.
During the Centennial migration, we also learned of a case involving the Multnomah County Education Service District (MESD). MESD provides Internet connectivity for seven school serving 100,000 students in Multnomah County, Oregon. MESD network administrators tested free software in 1998. They installed Linux web proxy servers, realized savings from reduced bandwidth utilization and had a positive ROI within six months. Even with costs of bandwidth dropping since 1998, MESD continues to save $10,000 annually.
MESD also replaced back office services with Linux. The replacement applications included file, print, web, mail and domain name services. The district report savings of $150,000 annually due to reductions in software licenses, maintenance and reduced personnel.
In addition, MESD migrated to an open-source web filtering solution called SquidGuard and added a Linux firewall, for savings of over $15,000 per year. Estimated overall savings run about $2 per student, or $200,000.

This is exactly what I've been advocating in Washington State for the past 4 years. By way of example, I've managed to get my office (WSDOT Bridge and Structures) to open source our in-house bridge engineering software. See http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/eesc/bridge/alternateroute for details.
It seems to me that the open source model is a perfect match for goverment. Why should each city, county, and state re-invent the same wheel?
I think that by making goverment software open source it creates the opportunity to maximize the benefit of the tax dollars invested. If the software is never shared then it can never evolve beyond its original implementation.
Re: Linux Access in State and Local Government, Part III
What you say of not re-inventing the wheel for Governments is already being implemented by the Free Software Consortium with GONEX
GONEX is a fussion and compilation of free software *already* being used by Governments worldwide. This includes desktop and not just server.
More info on:
FSC www.fsc.cc
Re: Linux Access in State and Local Government, Part III
What you say someone do re-inventing the wheel for Governments and forget about your GONEX as it won't apply to USA. I believe some boys want you all to stay over there on your side of the big pond and we stay over here on our side of the big pond. Hey don't you think you already done enough to hurt these bothers and sisters who come on to your rescue every time you make a big mess of everything. They get tired-ire of spending money on all you.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Wakatu Inc plans for two new projects
Relevant offers
Wakatu Incorporation has suffered a near $1 million loss after poor conditions affected its mussel products.
In the organisation's annual report, Wakatu chairman Paul Morgan described the financial result as very disappointing.
The report also reveals Wakatu is looking at two new development projects next year, but is not yet divulging details.
The $959,000 net loss after tax was down from a $3 million profit recorded last year.
The main reason for the negative result was the impact of adverse environmental conditions and poor weather conditions which reduced mussel supply and affected the quality of its mussel products.
"The environmental factors combined with the high value of the New Zealand currency produced an overall disappointing result," Mr Morgan said.
Its food and beverage sector had responded by reducing costs, managing risks by diversifying supply sources and seeking new ways to add value to its products.
Nelson-based Wakatu Inc has more than 3000 owners who are descendants of Ngati Koata, Ngati Rarua, Ngati Tama and Te Atiawa
It operates three sectors - Kono for its food and beverage enterprises, Whenua which includes property and other assets, and Manaaki for its legal, history and educational affairs.
A breakdown of its revenues shows 46 per cent is from seafood, 27 per cent from property, 18 per cent from beverages and 9 per cent from horticulture.
Group revenue for the financial year was $58.2m which was down $5.9m on last year, with mussel sales down $9m from last year.
Operating cash flows were $883,000, boosted by subdivision section sales.
Asset sales netted a further $5.7m in cashflow, with $11.3m investments in new property including marine farming assets, plant and a new winery at Awatere Valley in Marlborough.
Keith Palmer, who retired as chief executive in July but continues to work with the property sector, said in his report that the investments were funded by loan drawdowns totalling $8m over the year and $2.13m was paid in dividends.
Debt levels were $77.3m which was at the top of its self-imposed debt limits.
The property sector continued to grow steadily, he said. It provided a solid return with $19.8m in revenue, up from $18.6m last year.
Its commercial portfolio continued to progress and this year's residential section sales matched last year's high levels, he said.
It was looking at two new subdivisions and two new development projects, he said.
The subdivisions are at Motueka in Grey St, and in Nelson at Champion Rd which is still in the process of getting consents.
Mr Palmer would not give details of the development projects saying they were commercially sensitive.
While Kono had a loss of $5.3m, mainly because of the mussel supply problems, Kono Beverages had a successful year, operating its first winery at full production and producing a net profit of $785,000.
"This is especially pleasing as it reflects 15 years of building the business from an initial virtual wine company to one which now has three vineyards, its own winery and a strong international customer base," said Mr Palmer.
Mr Morgan said its key objectives this financial year would be to continue to position its new subsidiary, Kono NZ LP, to ensure high value growth, while reducing costs and risk, to support the stable growth of the Whenua sector. Another objective was to resolve long-standing legacy matters with the Crown including the Wai 56 claim and the Court of Appeal proceedings against the Attorney General.

Rolex Sydney Hobart Race - Sir Robin Knox-Johnston to take part
by Clipper Ventures on 22 Oct 2013
Sir Robin Knox Johnson, Clipper race founder © Matt Dickens, onEdition
This December the 69th Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race will commence and Sir Robin Knox-Johnston will be taking part on one of his Clipper 68 yachts.
The Clipper Race founder and chairman will navigate in the Australian offshore classic race on one of two Clipper 68 yachts competing and will race against his fleet of 12 brand new Clipper 70 yachts and their amateur crews currently circumnavigating the world.
The race starts on 26 December 2013 from the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia in Sydney.
'It was an irresistible challenge to enter for a second time,' commented Sir Robin. 'I am looking forward to being a navigator on one of our 68s which have completed four global circumnavigations and will form a new training and events base in Sydney to expand our presence in Australia.'
On behalf of the RSHYR, the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia Commodore Howard Piggott said: 'The Club is also pleased to welcome back Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, founder of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race and a competitor in the 2010 race on board Titania of Cowes. His presence will undoubtedly lead to spirited racing in the now 14 strong Clipper Race fleet and certainly add colour to our race.'
There are still places available to race on one of the two Clipper 68s in this classic race for those with some sailing experience. For enquiries, contact Emma Eason. Telephone +44 023 92 526 000/email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Review: Linux Mint 18 (Sarah)
If you were looking to jump the Ubuntu ship completely, then we recommend taking a look at our recent Review of Fedora 24. It's equally as good as Mint 18 and equally worthy of your consideration. Between Linux Mint 18 and Fedora 24, we reckon it's exciting times in the Linux world. With the exception and onset of the boring world of vanilla Ubuntu releases, Linux feels reinvigorated and fresh once again. Jump on board, because it can only get better from here.

With All Of My Love,

I visited the new location on Tuesday to browse the dresses.
I was taken upstairs and shown the dresses, however, the first dress I laid eyes on, I knew I had to have.
I ended up purchasing the dress, and cannot wait to wear it in December.
The new shop is so spacious, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit!

Long, long ago I talked about circles and had wanted to bring up this amazing shape back to focus again. It has been a while, but the circle is as important as ever, and will always be. Why have people, over the years, played around with circles? What is it about a circle that draws people across lands? Probably, the circle was the most important shape known to ancient man and represented the sun. And the sun showed up brightly in the sky, and represented a new beginning, every single day!

Tell Me in PowerPoint 2016 for Windows
Gradient Outlines in PowerPoint 2016
Everyone who uses PowerPoint has faced this situation: you know what you want to do with a slide or a slide object, but you don't know where to find the related option in PowerPoint! PowerPoint 2016 has a new feature called Tell Me that will tell you what you need to do! Tell Me is a text field that you can see in PowerPoint 2016 after the last Tab of the Ribbon.
Learn about the new Tell Me feature in PowerPoint 2016.
PowerPoint 2016 provides plenty of options to format Shape Outlines -- this tutorial explores an attribute that's rarely associated with shape outlines but can provide a surprisingly different look, especially when applied to lines that are thicker in weight. This attribute, Gradient Outlines is not accessible from the Shape Outline gallery in the Ribbon but directly from the Format Shape Task Pane that we will explore later on this page.
Learn how to apply gradients to outlines in PowerPoint 2016.
Many of you have been following our Timelines that are Different series, and it's now time to show you another fantastic timeline that you can use on your PowerPoint slides. The requirement to be featured in this series is not to be just useful and interesting, but the featured timeline also needs to be different and stand apart from usual timeline offerings. Our sixth timeline slide is from infoDiagram, a template site based out of London, UK.
PowerPoint provides two types of shapes: open and close shapes. Shapes, such as rectangles, circles, etc. are closed shapes. Regular line shapes, such as straight lines, curves, scribbles, etc. are open shapes. Arrowheads can be added only to open shapes. That's because an arrow needs a pronounced, visible beginning and end.

DC police launch terror drills on train, bus systems
The emergency drill is part of a broader effort to bolster security in the rail system
Washington Post
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Metro Transit Police officers with dogs and bomb technicians staged a large-scale security operation in one of the system's busiest stations Tuesday morning, part of a broader effort to bolster security in the rail system.
About 50 officers, including Metro's anti-terrorism unit, criminal investigators, special response teams and other squads, moved into Union Station shortly before 7 a.m. to begin the exercise, which was intended to demonstrate heightened vigilance against a potential terrorist attack.
They lined up along the platforms -- some armed with M-4 rifles and Kevlar body armor, others escorted by bomb-sniffing dogs -- and boarded trains to practice searching for explosives or other dangers, startling some rush-hour passengers. Tuesday's operation is a prelude to a series of much larger emergency exercises -- the biggest ever in the Metro system -- that will involve hundreds of officers from across the region responding to simulated explosions and gunmen in scenarios mirroring mass-casualty terrorist attacks on Madrid commuter trains in 2004, the London Underground in 2005 and in Mumbai in 2008, Metro officials said.
