The Worldwide Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathons generated considerable interest and engagement, but there's more work to be done!
The Second Worldwide Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathon is scheduled for the weekend of Nov. 8. Our official page is here but this wiki is for coordinating projects.
We are also using #aaronswhack on irc.oftc.net and can be reached on the list email@example.com

"We were part of an inchoate, ad-hoc community of collaborators who helped each other learn how to code. No, not how to write code ‒ how to write code for the purpose of changing the world." - Zooko, on memories of Aaron (full post here)
Structure of the event (condensed from meeting notes):
- In advance at each location, (at least) one presenter is chosen to "pitch" what they consider a vital project. This project should be eminently hackable -- the presenter or another volunteer who knows the project well should be prepared to help interested parties get involved, at many skill levels.
- The event starts like a hybrid (un-)conference, with introductions and short presentations. The pre-announced presenter(s) do these presentations, and during the introductions people can offer or request talks, which are added as time permits on the spot. Total presentation time should be ~1.5-2hrs. Presentations are recorded and immediately posted online (or streamed), for remote participants or people at other hackathons to see.
- Then there's open time to work.
- Finally, at the end of the event, there are 1.5-2hrs of demonstrations of results. Anyone can sign up on the site with info about project status to get a demo slot. Demos are also recorded and posted online, cross-referenced with individuals and projects.
Proposed Dates
- Set up a event webpage - Done (Sept.)
- Recruit hacklabs (as hosts) and activists (as PMs) - Ongoing (Sept./Oct.)
- Get signal-boosting web coverage - Ongoing (Sept./Oct.)
- Run events - Nov. 8 weekend
Projects to Work on
- tor2web and jot2tor (virgil, SF)(oliver, BOS) : Tor2web makes it possible for internet users to view content from Tor hidden services. It's online in a (mostly) functioning form at http://tor2web.org . Jot2tor is an extension of this allowing users to use Aaron's jottit.com framework to easily create pages hosted on hidden services. Naturally, pages created via jot2tor are accessible from tor2web. Aaron and I actually worked on both of these projects until his death.
- OliverDay (Cambridge)
More information about what help we need is at: https://tor.jottit.com
- Fork the Law (Christie (talk), SF) Fork the Law has spent the last few months working out what ordinary people need to know in order to effect legislative change. We're now working on condensing this down to a set of technical design requirements. We'd like to dig into turning the requirements into code, integrating existing open source applications and other services wherever possible. The repository for the development effort is https://github.com/fork-the-law/hancock.
- Free Law Project - non-profit providing free access to primary legal materials, developing legal research tools, and supporting academic research on legal corpora. Creators of CourtListener and Juriscraper. Easiest project for new contributor would be to extend juriscraper to cover another state court website not yet covered. See code on bitbucket.org.
- Free Law Machine is a virtual machine containing all dev tools and code one needs to get started.
- See also the "Free the Law" project @ HLS
- PeerLibrary is a new open source project and a service providing collaborative reading, sharing and storing. Users can upload publications they want to read (currently in PDF format), read them in the browser in real-time with others, highlight, annotate and organize their own or collaborative library. PeerLibrary provides a search engine to search over all uploaded open access publications. Additionally, it aims to collaboratively aggregate the open layer of knowledge on top of this publications through public annotations and references user will add to publications. In this way publications would not just be available to read, but accessible to the general public as well. Currently, it is aiming at scientific community and scientific publications, but could be deployed for any other field (a StackExchange-like family is envisioned).
Personal archive
- Archiving Aaron's writings (psawaya, SF). I think it'd be helpful to produce an archive of Aaron's writings, as the formatting on his blog isn't well-organized or good for reading on mobile devices. Some projects might include producing ePub and MOBI versions, organizing and tagging his writing, making it searchable, and perhaps even making it annotatable. It may be possible to build off of this project. I recall not finding a Creative Commons declaration on Aaron's blog, though this project certainly seems to be in alignment with his ideals. Yan suggested talking about it with Noah Swartz.
- JoshL, SJ (Cambridge), JamesGrimm
- Abelson Report TL;DR (Cambridge). Distillation and restating the Report to the President, such that more people can join in the conversations around the issues specific to MIT. Ongoing project page
- Getting projects their own articles on Wikipedia
- James (Cambridge)
Legal Fixes
- Repeal the CFAA: SJ, Andy (Cambridge). The CFAA is broken; noone but prosecutors like it. Building a constructive, normative replacement, and strategies for getting support at all levels: executive, policy, law, prosecution, activists, cyberwar. Cooperating with Aaron's Law and EFF work; but also tackling.
- Most discussions of "CFAA reform" have been incremental, in a framework of discussing what changes to current law are possible and would help fix recent problems; as opposed to describing why CFAA is broken and what proportionate and moral laws in that space wold look like.
- We're trying to describe what effective policy would look like, starting from scratch. Policy, Legal, Social, Tech/Security, and Prosecutorial norms which make sense.
- Project details and analysis
- Prosecutorial Overreach/Underreach: The DOJ turns a blind eye to war criminals and Wall St crooks yet throws the book at activists like Aaron. I've registered 14 domains that are variations of the three main prosecutors in Aaron's trail (i.e. carmenortiz.org, stephenheymann.org, etc.) The names Carmen Ortiz and Stephen Heymann are already synonymous with abuse of power. Let's cement that while drawing attention to other activists/whistleblowers who are being prosecuted for non-crimes. While we're at it, let's give prosecutors something useful to do by highlighting well documented but unprosecuted crimes (I'm looking at you John Yoo/Jamie Dimon/James Clapper).
- Restore the Fourth placeholder. We'll know more closer to the date about which of our projects would benefit the most from this. Options include the various encrpytion/meshnet/other coding aspects, blog posts and other content development, or drafting policy documents and researching for coalition-building.
Privacy and other software tools
- Mailpile (brennan, Berlin): https://github.com/pagekite/mailpile
- Indie Box: Set up our own web applications on cheap Linux devices (like the Raspberry Pi) in our own homes: http://indieboxproject.org/
- Client-side encryption (Daniel, SF): a library for creating web apps that encrypt user data before sending it to the server. This is an attempt at keeping the convenience of cloud storage while retaining data privacy.
- SecureDrop (yan/micah/garrett?/james?, SF): a platform for whistleblowers to transfer documents to newspapers directly. See https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop.
- Our ongoing documentation / q&a site is https://securedrop.hackpad.com. You can also find us on oftc #securedrop-dev.
- SecureDrop (samthetechie, Berlin) https://pressfreedomfoundation.org/securedrop + https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop.
- Is there a place for people to publish already?
- Transparency Toolkit (shidash, ?): Unfortunately Shidash is unavailable, but maybe someone else could do it?
- Overview Project (Ian, SF): an open-source tool to help journalists (or anyone!) find stories in large sets of documents, by automatically sorting them according to topic and providing a fast visualization and reading interface. It's a way to quickly make sense of huge leaks, FOIA responses, and document dumps using a combination of clever algorithms and human intuition. Remember, transparency is meaningless if nobody's watching. Homepage: http://overview.ap.org/ Source: https://github.com/overview
Activism tools
- Taskforce (Sina, SF): https://taskforce.is are a group of developer volunteers working on a range of different activism tools and campaigns, aiming to improve the tools available to citizens and organizations advocating for better technology policy.
- Two projects we'd love to collaborate on are:
- An SMS campaigning tool - Similar to MobileCommons, but open source. We have funding from Twilio that will enable this to exist as a "warning broadcast system" for people interested in tech advocacy. How it should work: The system would allow a user to sign up (either via SMS or via a web form) to receive SMS updates about tech advocacy projects. When a user signs up they immediately receive a text confirming their signup, and they can opt out any time. Admins can send messages to all subscribers via an admin interface.
- Crowdsourced anti-apathy platform - There's quite a bit of apathy with regards to surveillance in both the tech community and in the general public. We've been brainstorming to try and figure out how we can effectively convince people that it matters. Our best proposal thus far is to create a system to crowdsource the most convincing content, videos, photos and articles from around the web. Users would then be able to upvote the things that they found the most convincing.

For the latest updates to Global Public Square, including show information and Fareed's Take, visit the new GPS site on CNN.com.
Agreed @chrissy. He is a classy guy and much enlightened. @ Blue Saffron should be a role model for all.
Yup me too. @Blue Saffron is my hero too.
Barstool Palin is my hero. I wish I could appear on DWTS and dance like her.
Sarah Palin, though no longer viable in a national race, may deserve more sympathy than scorn. Her incoherence, though not new, has worsened, and she shows signs of someone desperate for relevance. As to the Iowa speech, though her teleprompter apparently froze, a technological glitch can't be blamed for "This is to forego a conclusion."
Couric: I was curious what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world?
Palin: I've read most of them, again, with a great appreciation for the press for the media.
Couric: Like, what specifically? I'm curious.
Palin: Um, all of 'em. Any of 'em that, uh, have been in front of me over all these years. I have a…
Couric: Can you name any of them?
Palin: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news, too. Alaska isn't a foreign country where it is kinda suggested it seems like "Wow! How can you keep in touch with the rest of Washington, D.C., may be thinking and doing when you live up there in Alaska?" Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America.
Blue Saffron's real name is Red Dingleberry.
: a little world; especially : the human race or human nature seen as an epitome of the world or the universe
: a community or other unity that is an epitome of a larger unity
Alaska is not even close to being a microcosm of the USA where there are no Eskimos or giant pipleines sinking into the ground from permafrost thawing, a dozen egss costing $4, and citizens receiving oil revenue dividends yearly.
Sarah Palin is a very ignorant woman and uses the Bush-effect to garner votes. (being as stupid as the avg. citizen)
Alaska has mosquitos that attack and kill large animals. Does Chicago? No. All Chicago has is gang bangers. Their are few gang bangers in Alaska. And most of them are just lousy oil freighter captains.
GPS blogs are a microcosm of U.S. Not Alaska. Omg old women are dumb.
Alaska is a microcosm if the United States, you bloody retard.
In your hurry to prove me wrong at any cost, you just appear stupider than before.
You are so pathetically stupid, you embarrass yourself.
Please Mr. Blue Saffron come bless us with your wisdom.
Puhleese @Blue Saffron.... Give us your brilliance. This is truly me and it is only 7:14pm.
Oh, do shut up, faux banasy. Nobody cares if Blue Adam shows up for a thoughtful analysis about nothing shows up or not.
Brilliance, my foot.
Mr. Blue Saffron is the best guy that ever came on this forum. Bright as the sun. Ivy Leaguer.
Fake banasy eats caca.
Blue Saffron eats caca too. Lol
AIDS virus are a microcosm.
Alaska is like Arkansas but before Clinton.
Oh do me Blue Saffron.
I am the AIDS virus. Death to everyone!!
Colorado was made better under Clinton.
Oh do me Blue Saffron.
Oh do me hippodonnapus.
Oh do me Cuchumber.
Oh do me Uncke Joe.
Oh do me Bill Clinton.
Bless me with you snake Father.
Oh do me chri$$y.
Oh do me Martina Naviratova's dil.do.
I'm an old drilled. LOL
There was an old man from Colorado Springs who was drilled so many time his rectum fell out. LOL
I'm boring myself. Toodles

The release of Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal last month was a big deal, since Ubuntu has for some time now been regarded as the "friendliest" Linux distribution. It is certainly the most well-publicized in the consumer space. Its Debian-based roots give it access to a thriving and well-maintained set of package repositories. Its breadth of supported hardware and easy (well, usually easy) installer means it works just about anywhere. Canonical has put a tremendous amount of effort (both in programming and branding!) into making Ubuntu a powerful and full-featured desktop operating system.
However, many of Canonical's choices have rankled the broader Linux community, particularly its decision to go with Unity as the main graphical shell over a traditional Linux shell like GNOME. It has also included Amazon.com-powered store listings in search results, leading to comical awfulness like this:
Canonical shows no intention of changing course, so alternatives to Ubuntu are becoming increasingly popular. The most mature at this point is Linux Mint, which is based on Ubuntu, keeping its parent's flexibility and compatibility while taking a more traditional direction with its interface choices. The Mint developers have just released their latest version, Linux Mint 14, codenamed "Nadia," and it has a lot of nice things going for it.
Spin cycle
Like Ubuntu, Mint also features semiannual releases, usually about a month after Ubuntu. Since Mint uses Ubuntu as its core, the same long-term support rules apply; the previous release, Maya, was based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and will be supported with security and package updates until April 2017. Nadia will only be supported until April 2014, but newer versions of the operating system will be available prior to that.
The same rule of thumb applies to Mint as to Ubuntu: if you want to put it on critical systems or if you simply don't want to be bothered with distro updates, you should go with an LTS release.
Judging by the cover
Linux Mint comes with a choice of two graphical shells, neither of which are Unity. The graphical shell that gets top billing is MATE, a fork of the stalwart GNOME 2 shell. MATE supports all of GNOME 2's major features and is targeted at being a clean and simple interface with maximum compatibility.
The other main shell option is Cinnamon, which unlike MATE relies heavily on 3D acceleration to be flashier and a bit more modern. Cinnamon is forked from GNOME 3 instead of GNOME 2, and so its development pace is faster and its list of features is more in flux than MATE.
There are also community editions of Mint available, featuring both KDE and XFCE desktop environments, if those are more to your liking.
New stuff
The new release of Linux Mint features new versions of both the MATE and Cinnamon desktops; the update list for Cinnamon is particularly long, with improvements made to the shell's file browser, notification applet, workspace management area, and lots of other places. The system's display manager, MDM, has also been updated, incorporating new theming abilities along with better user switching and support for user pictures at logon.
Version 14 also includes significant changes to the operating system's update system, Software Manager, in the form of its own apt client with full debconf support and built-in root elevation, both broadening the scope of packages that can be installed and also freeing the user from having to enter his or her password for every install.
In addition to the graphical and shell changes, Linux Mint 14 includes all of the upstream software changes made to Ubuntu 12.10, including the 3.5 Linux kernel, Python 3, gcc 4.7.2, and LibreOffice 3.6.
Can it serve?
There is no separate server version of Linux Mint, because Mint is primarily intended as a desktop operating system with different graphical underpinnings from Ubuntu. Ubuntu Server is free from all of the graphical woes that haunt its desktop counterpart, so if you need a headless Linux server to do server-y things with, Ubuntu is still a good candidate (along with its parent, Debian, or any other Linux distro with a server variant).
A viable alternative
Mint shows that desktop-friendly Linux comes in flavors other than Canonical's Ubuntu, though the fact that Mint uses Ubuntu as its base means that Mint's continued availability is tied to Ubuntu's success. The maintainers could always switch to another base (Ubuntu itself is based on Debian Linux), but Mint gains much of its power and flexibility through Canonical's polishing of the underlying components.
However, if you're fed up with Unity and disagree philosophically with Canonical's design choices, Mint is an excellent way to keep Ubuntu's compatibility while abandoning its UI. We had no problem installing both the MATE and Cinnamon flavors and spending some preliminary time with them—both work and act like a good desktop operating system should, with polished design elements and automatic hardware detection.
We'll keep Linux Mint on our review radar. If you are interested in a further deep dive, please comment below.

Bruins can finish off Rangers in Game 4 tonight
The Boston Bruins are on the brink of the Eastern Conference finals, and they got there on the backs of their suddenly offensive defensemen and a potent fourth line of forwards.
They have outclassed the New York Rangers all over the ice in surging to a 3-0 lead in a series that could be over tonight.
If the Bruins start firing on all cylinders, the Rangers will have little hope of even forcing a Game 5, let alone entertaining thoughts of matching the greatest comeback in sports.
The Bruins could afford to relax Wednesday, and many of them did, as the team held an optional practice at Madison Square Garden — the site of Boston's 2-1 comeback win a night earlier that pushed the Rangers within one loss of elimination.
New York also got back on the ice at its suburban practice rink, and it was clear the sting of Tuesday night's disheartening defeat lingered.
The Rangers are just over one week removed from back-to-back shutouts by Henrik Lundqvist in Games 6 and 7 against the Washington Capitals in the first round, but those good times now feel a whole lot longer ago.
Any kind of comeback now starts with Game 4 in New York. Three teams have recovered from an 0-3 hole to win an NHL series.
"We're not looking at odds or anything like that," Rangers captain Ryan Callahan said. "We're looking at one game at home, and we'll try to bring this thing back to Boston. That's the only way we can look at it, to try to win one game in our building."
The Bruins want to cut this short and not give the Rangers any reason to believe. New York trailed Washington, 2-0, in the opening round and then 3-2 before advancing.
There is history hanging over Boston, including a blown 3-0 lead to Philadelphia in a series loss in 2010 and a squandered 3-1 edge in this year's first round to Toronto before the Bruins rallied to win Game 7.
"You learn from the past, but you live in the moment. You don't live in the past," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "I like where our team is right now. We're certainly not looking at it the way other people will look at it — trying to find reasons to give New York some hope, saying 'These guys have done this, these guys have had trouble doing this.'
"We're certainly not even going there."
Rangers forwards Darroll Powe and Arron Asham were on that Philadelphia team that stunned the Bruins with an epic comeback in 2010.
While several players said Wednesday they believe this series can still be won, the mantra was the same as it has been all season — following the words of coach John Tortorella that the focus must be completely on the next game.
"Obviously, we can't win four games (tonight). We have to focus on just the task at hand, which is coming out strong on our first shift," said Powe, who is currently sidelined by injury. "We go shift by shift, we just chip away. You've got to try to win every shift. That's how we're going to get back in the series."
The Rangers had been 3-0 at home in the playoffs and had won nine straight at Madison Square Garden, dating to the regular season.
Tuesday's loss was their first in regulation in which they led going into the third period since February 2010.
A fluke goal with 3:31 remaining by fourth-liner Daniel Paille, who put in a puck Lundqvist never saw, made the disappointment that much greater. Boston defenseman Johnny Boychuk scored his fourth goal of the postseason earlier in the third with a shot that might have clipped forward Shawn Thornton — Paille's bruising linemate along with Gregory Campbell.
That was enough to give the Bruins their second one-goal win of the series.
Paille had a goal and assist in Game 3 for his first points of the series. Thornton assisted on both goals, to get himself on the score sheet for the first time against the Rangers, and Campbell had an assist on the winner to go along with a goal he scored in Game 2.
"Hopefully it keeps going," Thornton said of the production from the line that was put together during the 2010-11 season. "We're trying to get back out there so we've got to give it everything we have. I have said it a million times, I am very fortunate to play with those two guys. They are extremely good hockey players, and they would probably be on better lines than the fourth line on other teams."
The Rangers would be happy to get offense from anywhere. After busting out in a 5-0 win in Game 7 against the Capitals, New York has been held to five total goals in three games against goalie Tuukka Rask and the rest of the Bruins.
New York seemed to lack the required energy and urgency to take advantage in Game 4. The Rangers have also failed to capitalize on an injured Boston defense that is using three rookies with success.
"I like our team," Rangers coach John Tortorella said. "We've got good people. We need to have more people playing more minutes, consistently. We'll be ready to play. I hope we get to another level of desperation. That's not just running around all over the place, it's about winning those battles at key times."
While injured Bruins defensemen Dennis Seidenberg and Wade Redden continue to practice and move closer to returning, the Rangers are dealing with the loss of defenseman Anton Stralman, who got hurt when he was checked hard Tuesday night by Milan Lucic and left the game in the second period.
His status for Game 4 is questionable at best. If he sits out, the Rangers could turn to Roman Hamrlik or Matt Gilroy. Marc Staal doesn't appear ready to play because of an eye injury.
"To a defense that I think is lacking a little depth right now, it hurts us," Tortorella said of Stralman's injury. "We're down 0-3. There's no sense of feeling pressure. Players that get to play ... grab a hold of it and let it happen."

Thanks to our dear friend Lauren Gibaldi for another great guest post.
The role of librarian has expanded from simply helping people find books. But still – a good majority of patrons visit the library for just that – books. While it's impossible to know every single novel out there, I think it's smart to know what's popular, what's up-and-coming, and what many people may be asking about. (Of course, this goes a bit beyond library school, and more so into the job category, but it's never to early to start paying attention to literature, right?)
So which books should you get familiar with?
- Award-winners
- Similarly, ones getting a ton of buzz
- New York Times best sellers
- Any Oprah pick (Okay, her book club is about to end, but brush up on her previous picks.)
- Ones being turned into films or TV shows
- Anything that will be released by a big name
- Celebrity books
How to learn about these titles
- Keep up with awards once they're announced. (i.e. Pulitzer, Man-Booker…) There's the Caldecott Medal for children's books, and YALSA has a ton of awards for young adult books.
- Check out book columns from the New York Times, NY Magazine, New Yorker, and more. A good time to do this would be towards the end of the year, when everyone is creating a "best of" list. Also, keep up with prominent book blogs. (While Freedom by Jonathan Franzen was the BIG award-winner of last year, Room by Emma Donoghue was immensely popular.)
- While it doesn't change dramatically each week, the list, which is featured on the newspaper's website, is good to browse every now and then. (For fiction, a lot of books will overlap with the previous few categories. For non-fiction, any presidential memoir will be on the list easily).
- Oprah has her list of winners on her website. She's the only person I've ever known to have Faulkner sell out in a bookstore.
- After True Blood came out, tons of people flocked for the Sookie Stackhouse series. If a show or movie is getting a ton of buzz, look to see if it has a literary counterpart.
- Keep up with publishing company blogs. They're not shy about showcasing their new releases. Some even have specific library-related blogs.
- Did you know half of the cast of Jersey Shore has book deals? And they (for some reason) sell? Yeah, know about them.
I actually love keeping up with books, so for me, this is an fun task. By just monitoring a few blogs, it's easy to know what's hot within the publishing world. It really helps, especially when someone comes in asking for "that book that's going to be a movie with the girl from Glee in it."*

Malaysia Cragging Gets on the Map
Shrouded in Asian mystery and knifed in two by the South China Sea, with one part attached to Borneo and the other connected to Thailand, Malaysia is as difficult as chopsticks for the Westerner to grasp.
Yet Malaysia is a tropical paradise with rock galore. Four hours south of Thailand's climbing mecca of Krabi, in Malaysia's northernmost state of Perlis, limestone is so ubiquitous it is said to flavor the water, imparting a unique zest to the local cuisine.
Earlier this year the Swiss climbers David Lama and Reini Scherer, with help from Cédric Lachat, Christina Schmid, Anna Stöhr, Katharina Saurwein and Juliane Wurm, toured the region and sent 91 routes up to 5.14d in nine days. Their development of two virtually untouched sectors is arguably the most prolific first-ascent spree the sport has ever known. Racing ahead of them, and organized by Patrick Audrey of Camp 5, Asia's largest climbing gym, the local climbers Zam, Akmal and Man hacked paths through dense jungle, brushed prospective lines and installed the bulk of 1,000 bolts in the limestone cliffs.
Equally remarkable, the climbers were feted by the Raja of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin, who presented them with a rope, invited them to the palace for dinner, and, with Her Majesty by his side, bravely tied in and tackled a few new routes himself. The Raja was so stoked on climbing, which he sees as a potential source of tourist revenue, he even lent his private helicopter for photo shoots. So much for access problems.
The team found rock similar to that of Arco, Italy, and Germany's Frankenjura, and in vast supply. Crag heights vary, with 200 meters being the extreme. The regions' karst topography is pocked with caves, large and small. Some shelter ancient temples and are off limits to climbing, while others are home to monkey gangs who reportedly can pull up to 6c. Slick carved steps and centuries-old ladders in varying stages of disrepair adorn some of the crags. The climbers used these as handy access points; the locals scale them to harvest the nests of cave swifts. Dissolved in water, the gelatinous nests are the main ingredient in the delicacy bird-nest soup, one of the most expensive dishes consumed by man—a single kilo of nest can fetch $1,000 or more.
In the old tin-mining city of Ipoh, the climbers wandered through a water-park with artificial waves, palms, a sandy beach, a thermal spring and tiger enclosure to arrive at 100-meterplus cliffs packed with possibilities. The area was so stunning, Scherer says, "It's incredible that climbing is allowed here."
Two areas have been developed: The Bukit Keteri crag near the town of Padang Besar, and the Lost World of Tambun, next to the water park in the city of Ipoh. The Lost World has 40 routes from 4b to 9a.
At Butkit Keteri, 52 routes from 4a to 8c+ went in, with the first established by the Raja himself, and with room for at least 100 more. A cave cuts completely through the mountain, making steep and spectacular routes. Due to this birarre feature, the crag offers routes at two levels: From the ground are mainly vertical and easier lines. From the second level, you find the steepest climbs out of the various eyes and holes of the cave. A large cavern leads through the mountain to a terrace on its north side, where the shady Robot Wall offers slightly overhanging technical lines.
Fly to the capitol city of Kuala Lumpur. Drive north on the North-South Highway to Ipoh. The climbing is in town adjacent to the water park.
To get to Butkit Keteri, also drive north from Kuyala Lumpur and exit at Changlun to Kangar in the far north. From Kangar, take Road 7 toward Padang Besar. After seven kilometers turn right at Beseri at a large T-junction with a traffic light. Head toward Mata Ayer. Shortly after crossing the railroad tracks you reach another T-junction. Head toward Padang Besar. The crag is on the right, in a field opposite a mosque. Park and walk to the crag.
Alternately, you can catch a train in Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh and to the lake of Tasik Melati, which is within walking distance of the crag.
The temperature is near constant throughout the year, with highs in the low 90s and lows in the upper 60s. Avoid the rainy seasons of April through May, and October through November.
Ipoh and Butkit Keteri are tourist destinations with numerous hotels, from flea-bag dives for $6/night all the way up to luxury accommodations.
Malaysia is a Muslim country (no beer or booze!). Avoid the end of Ramadan (dates are 9/1 through 9/30 in 2008), as the hotels max out then.

Iron Man – Movie Review
Iron Man has been released in India at the same time as the rest of the world. Great huh. Well, that's what the Hollywood biggies do when it comes to action films…they expect them to do well in markets such as India. The movie has made an impact in just one weekend in theatres across U.S and Canada and there is no reason to think that the producers will be disappointed with India.
The movie (directed by Jon Favreau) is a cinematic adaptation of Marvel Comic's superhero and is just what we wanted to take us away from the now stale (and boring) masked heroes flying around.
This one seems is for real. Iron Man's super heroism is not in his genes like in the case of Superman or Spiderman. He builds it. Reminds one of another superhero – "The Mask" although the mask has magical powers. The armoured suit that Iron Man dons has no magical powers…it is an engineering feat, a machine that needs to be powered.
Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is the "billionaire industrialist" and "genius inventor" who builds such a suit machine. It all starts when he is on a trip to Afghanistan to test the weapons made by his company. He is kidnapped and imprisoned in a cave but genius that he is, he manages to escape by building a hi-tech armoured suit powered by a gizmo which gives superhuman strength and does strange things like fly. One is not sure how exactly Tony builds the thingmajig though..but then this isn't SF. It's adventure.
The beginning seems a bit slow specially if one expects to find a flying superhero in action from the start. The first half is more about Tony the inventor and Tony the person. I think the director builds up well to the scenes where Tony finally emerges in his superhero suit…to want to save the world.
Enemies lurk everywhere…from the United States Air force and the Security Agencies who want to know what exactly he is up to, people in his own company who want to stop him on his "self-destructive" path and the goons in Afghanistan. It does seem as if the whole world is against him…but then he has Pepper (Gwyneth Paltrow) his executive assistant. Beautiful and efficient she is someone he seems to be secretly in love with but his philandering ways leave no room for any romance…I think this has been saved for the sequel which is sure to be out.
The acting is superb all round. Robert Downey is brilliant as the unpredictable, emotional genius. Paltrow is good too although I didn't like the way she looked. Too thin.
The movie is technologically brilliant and even though we are now used to Hollywood finesse, one is impressed. And why not, considering that Iron Man cost $135 million to make.
I think there was some censoring of scenes in India. A bedroom scene just whizzes by and one isn't even sure what happened! And there are other scenes which must have been cut. The movie is 126 minutes long but our experience at the PVR multiplex was that the movie started around six p.m (or six ten?) and by eight p.m. we were all trooping out of the theatre, after the credits were over. If one takes about 10 minutes for the interval, then at least 15 minutes of the film have been chopped. A pity.
If you love action movies this isn't one that you can miss. It's the best.

South Carolina's Lattimore entering NFL draft
COLUMBIA, S.C. - Injured South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore is finished with college football. How long it takes the Gamecocks junior to make his NFL debut is anyone's guess.
Lattimore announced Wednesday he was giving up his final season to enter the NFL draft. He was considered a can't-miss, first-round talent after his first two seasons. However, a horrifying right knee injury in October has dropped his draft stock and it is unclear when Lattimore might return to action.
Lattimore dislocated his knee and damaged three of four ligaments when he was tackled against Tennessee. Doctors say surgery on his knee was successful and Lattimore easily walked into his first gathering with media since the injury.
He came into this season off ligament surgery to his left knee, an injury that cost him the final six games of the 2011 season.
Despite his injuries, Lattimore said, "I wouldn't change a thing."
He and Dr. Jeffrey Guy said it would take 12-to-15 months to recover, meaning it is unlikely Lattimore would play anywhere during the 2013 season. Guy, among the team that operated on Lattimore, said Lattimore's prognosis for full recovery was good.
Lattimore finished his career as the Gamecocks' all-time leader with 41 overall touchdowns and 38 rushing scores in 29 games.
Still, even draft experts are puzzled about Lattimore's prospects next April.
"I just put wild card next to his name," ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said on a media conference call Tuesday.
Lattimore had told Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier before a student rally of support in October that the player hoped to return to the field for the Gamecocks. About a month ago, Lattimore talked with his family and decided entering the NFL draft was the better choice.
Lattimore said he received encouraging support from two NFL stars who successfully came back from knee surgery - running backs Frank Gore and Willis McGahee - but declined to go into details about the conversations. Lattimore remained composed as he thanked Spurrier, teammates and university officials.
"This has easily been the best three years of my life," he said.
Lattimore rushed for 662 yards and 11 touchdowns this season, both team highs.
He had been South Carolina's primary offensive force the past three seasons, starting from the time he stepped on campus as a freshman in 2010. He gained 1,197 yards and 17 touchdowns to help the Gamecocks to a Southeastern Conference Eastern Division title that fall.
Lattimore was on his way to eclipsing those marks when he was hurt in an October game at Mississippi State. Following surgery, Lattimore plunged himself into rehab and returned in time for summer workouts with his teammates.
He showed few effects from that injury this season. Lattimore had three games with at least 100 yards rushing and appeared headed for a fourth against the Vols when he was hurt again.
His left leg flopped to the turf and Lattimore struggled to contain his emotions in a silent Williams-Brice Stadium. Players from both teams surrounded him as doctors and trainers worked on the knee, praying and offering best wishes.
Two days later, South Carolina held a rally on campus to celebrate Lattimore's 21st birthday and wish him well in his recovery. Lattimore did not attend, but Spurrier told the crowd he gotten a message from the running back to tell them, "I'll be back."
On Nov. 10 against Arkansas, the school unveiled Lattimore's name and touchdown record on the facing of one of the stadium's spiral ramps. Lattimore had a taped message to fans on the stadium's large video board, saying he felt fine and was "working to get back to football."
Lattimore ends his college career as South Carolina's sixth-leading rushed with 2,677 yards and had 11 games with 100 yards or more. He also finishes with 74 catches for 767 yards and three touchdown catches.

InDesign can do everything from serving as your primary word processor to importing text from other programs to automatically applying specialized formatting. In InDesign, text is placed inside text frames or it flows along type paths, both of which can be any size or shape. Text frames and type paths can be linked (or threaded) to each other to flow text through a document.
When it comes to formatting text, you have a variety of options for applying character and paragraph formats, including styles for automated formatting. InDesign also provides expert options for setting tabs and creating bulleted and numbered lists. For word processing, InDesign provides a story editor, spell check features, and search-and-replace functions.
In this chapter you'll learn how to create text frames and type paths, and then how to add, format, and edit text.
#17 Creating Text Frames
Most of the text you see in an InDesign layout—headlines, articles, figure captions, ad copy—is contained by invisible, rectangular text frames. You can, however, draw text frames of any shape, and you can use the master text frame you specify in the New Document dialog box.
Drawing Text Frames
To create a rectangular text frame, select the Type tool on the toolbox. Click and drag to draw a text frame. Use the rulers and values in the Control palette to judge the size and placement of the text frame ( Figure 17a ).
Figure 17a While dragging with the Type tool to create a rectangular text frame, you can use the rulers and Control palette to judge its size and placement.
To create a round or variable-shape text frame, use any of the drawing tools to create a frame (see #49 for more information). Then, simply click it with the Type tool to enter text ( Figure 17b ). You can also click any frame using the Selection tool or Direct Selection tool and choose Object > Content > Text to convert it to a text frame.
Figure 17b To place text in a round text frame, draw an elliptical graphics frame with the Ellipse Frame toolEllipse Frame tool, click it with the Type tool, and then start typing.
Using the Master Text Frame
If you're importing long blocks of text onto pages—for a book chapter or annual report, for example—you don't have to draw a text frame on each page. You can automatically place a text frame on each document page by checking Master Text Frame in the New Document dialog box (File > New > Document). The values in the Columns and Margins areas control the number of columns in the master text frame, the amount of space between columns, and the placement on the page ( Figure 17c ).
Figure 17c Checking Master Text Frame in the New Document dialog box automatically places a text frame on document pages according to the values in the Columns and Margins areas.
To enter text in the master text frame on document pages, select the Type tool and Command+Shift-click (Mac OS) or Ctrl+Shift-click (Windows) on the text frame.

These white boxes show the moves base DPS after STAB but before factoring in battle specific factors like the Pokemon's Attack, Defense and defending Pokemon's type.
These pink text boxes show the Damage per Energy (DPE) for charge moves. In many cases, this is more important than the DPS for a charge move. See this discussion on why DPE is so important for charge moves.
These bars have a maximum equal to the maximum observed for each stat across all Pokemon so as to provide a comparison of the Pokemon's stats to the most extreme case for each stat. E.g. the Attack stat for each Pokemon is compared to maximum of 426 for Mewtwo Mega Y.
For all Pokemon yet to be released in Pokemon Go, the Pokedex can still show their stats using the formulas identified to convert main series stats to Pokemon Go stats:
Too see how these stats can be used to your advantage in battle, check out the ベスト攻撃者 and ベストディフェンダー tools.
If you like Poke Assistant and the free services it provides, the best thing you can do to give back is to recommend it:

It is not necessary for you to take your car to the shop to have it fixed because it has a dent. A paintless dent removal technician can help! Our mobile PDR technicians can remove any dents on your vehicle on site, providing convenience and efficiency.
Paintless dent removal can be used to remove hail damage. In addition to preserving your car's original bodywork, this process also saves you time and money. So you can save yourself the trouble of repainting or going through detailed work!
Dents can occur in a matter of seconds, but their severity or cost may not be apparent. An estimate for paintless dent removal should be free and completed as quickly as possible in order to provide an accurate quote.
Some paintless dent removal (PDR) shops also offer auto-related services, such as auto body work and collision repair.
Some paintless dent removal shops also offer painting services and corrections. In PDR, the shop polishes areas that have been repaired (door dings, hail damage) or where ceramic coatings have been applied.
To achieve a smoother finish, a paintless dent removal shop may offer scratch removal services. For this service, if it is not already available at their location, it sometimes has to be turned to an expert.
Several paintless dent removal shops offer full detail services. Detailing services include hand washing, vacuuming, steaming, leather and fabric treatment, scratch and swirl removal, and waxing.
A paintless dent removal shop may also specialize in ceramic coating, scratch removal, and paint repair. Ceramic coatings protect your car's paint from UV rays, chemical stains, and keep the exterior clean.
Some PDR shops also tint windows in addition to paintless dent removal. A tinted window can help keep your car cool when the weather gets hot in the summer. The process usually takes about two hours.
The process of repairing dents can be done quickly and at a fraction of the price of a traditional body shop. Almost all paintless dent removal companies will cover your deductible, so your auto hail repair will be easy and free.
The paintless dent removal process can be used to remove dents, hail, and minor surface panel damage without painting or replacing the panels. Paintless Dent Repair preserves a car's original paint finish and can be performed by technicians who are knowledgeable about this technique. The process of PDR uses special tools to remove imperfections from panels damaged by hail or dents. Paintless dent removal is usually faster than traditional auto body shops, but the degree of damage must be considered.
Consider paintless dent removal if you want to save money without having to pay for paint or labor.
The cost of paintless dent removal will depend on the severity and location of the dent. A door ding typically costs between $100 and $250, depending on its size. For larger dents, the price may be as high as $500.
Using paintless dent removal, hail damage and dents can be removed. Our technicians are skilled in paintless dent removal. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.

Why Model When You Can Just Program?
Ed Merks, Eclipse Modeling PMC Lead and itemis
As a software developer, programming is as natural as speaking and listening. Java code rolls from your fingertips accelerated by Eclipse's excellent tools. In contrast, modeling is an arcane art focused on strange rituals: rendering diagrams that never scale no matter the monitor size or navigating a maze of menus and dialogs that never yield a comprehensible overview. It's not surprising that there is a strong aversion to modeling: it simply goes against the grain. In this presentation we'll learn that nothing could be further from the truth. Programming and modeling are one and the same.
What makes an application a "good" application
Christian Campo, compeople AG
There are many aspects of software quality a developer applies when creating "good" software. Examples are maintainability, security, and reliability. However, it is not immediately clear to everyone using the software that these aspects are paramount to "good" software design. Especially end-users tend to judge software by intangible qualities, such as whether they "feel comfortable" using the software.
In this talk we will present the "other side" of software development - usability. What are the aspects that make your software more usable? What should I consider when designing my software? When done right, and considered early on in the software development lifecycle, usability can make your software even better. I will be discussing software usability and its relevance to software engineering. Touching on different topics, answering such questions as: how to structure information, how to visually communicate effectively, how to best support a user's workflow, and how to make design decisions. This talk should give you a basic understanding of the skills involved in creating more usable software. By doing this, it should supplement your skill-set or at least broaden your horizon.
Gaining traceability in the world of fragmented Agile ALM stacks
Benjamin Muskalla, Tasktop
Over the past decade, many ALM stacks have shifted from vertically integrated silos to tangled and disconnected systems reminiscent of the London tube map. Layer upon layer of legacy, piecemeal Agile deployments and new open source tools have brought traceability to a halt, forcing us into overloaded email inboxes and manual process for tracking delivery in large-scale and regulated environments. The path forward is to either standardize the entire ALM stack, or to embrace heterogeneity. Either way, the ALM architecture must be untangled and the legacy connected for the modernization to happen.
For inspiration, we can look to how ALM strategies have formed bottom-up in the very heterogeneous jungle of open source projects. Open source ALM combines distributed teams, heterogeneous stacks, resource constraints, massive amounts of stakeholder input, and an overload of cross-project dependencies. Despite these challenges, the velocity of many popular open source projects is measurably higher than that of their enterprise counterparts, and what's even more interesting is that some of the most successful projects provide end-to-end traceability for their constituents. In this talk, we will examine the key lessons learned from the latest developments in open source ALM, and examine how to apply the practices, ALM architecture patterns and strategies for embracing heterogeneity in order to help pave a path for your Agile and ALM modernization efforts.
Usage of ECore+OCL for business modeling in the connection with Excel-based model representation and validation in the Life Insurance business domain
Ilia Louganski, Credit Suisse Trust
In 2012, Credit Suisse Trust (CST) faced significant challenges as it wanted to adapt its life insurance platform to rapidly changing business needs. A backlog of change requests was piling up; turn-around times were increasing and time-to-market for new products had become unacceptable. It became clear that the platform had reached a point of complexity where it could no longer be managed using the IT processes and methodologies in place.
CST management quickly realized what was happening and saw the lack of consistency and clarity of the business requirements as the main root cause of the situation. The tooling put in place to capture and track the requirements used Excel® as deployment vehicle, a tool that was commonly used by the team members. However, the structure of the Excel sheet was designed and managed with Business Object Models developed with the open source XOCL framework, which integrates mainstream ECore and OCL. Such models were also validated by using automatically generated tabular editors.
The presentation will show how the approach helped to systematically work through a large number of requirements and how the business gained control over the situation, thanks to an ECore+OCL based approach in combination with an Excel based methodology for representation and validation.
Experiences from Using EJBs in an Eclipse RCP Application
Markus Hediger (SIX Payment Services) & Philippe Marschall (Netcetera)
Three-layer architectures using EJBs are fairly common in applications in the financial sector. However there does not yet exist a standard for accessing remote EJBs from OSGi applications (RFP 152 has just been published). We have been using remote EJBs in an Eclipse RCP application for several years. We'd like to present our approach, its pros and cons and how it rates on an "OSGi-cleanness" scale. We believe it is generic enough to be applicable to any application server. In addition we will show how we have set up the developers' Eclipse workbenches to increase productivity.
Interface Management in a Large Enterprise
Robert Blust, UBS
Enterprise Architecture decomposes IT systems into subsystems and defines rules and principles for their communication. To keep the realization conformant to these rules and principles can be a challenge. To handle this challenge, UBS launched the Integration Architecture initiative. It aims to provide a usable, end-to-end process and tooling along with the necessary standards and methods to identify, specify, design, and govern interfaces between parts of the IT System.
A first, already realized step was to visualize the current state by capturing the actual communication patterns of subsystems by analyzing their static source code and producing EMF-based graphs. This allows identifying, for instance, non conformant interaction patterns.
The current step is to realize an appropriate tool chain for the specification, implementation and management of interfaces, which supports
- Platform independent definition of data types and interfaces in local project scope
- Complete specification of interfaces, their operations, policies (SLA), visibility, etc
- Conformance to the architectural rules and principles
- Automatic generation of artifacts like XML-Schema and WSDL files
- A central repository for interface portfolio management (e.g. usage of interfaces)
- Merging the interface models from the local projects back into the central repository
- The governance process with corresponding ownership model and role based reviews
Modularization of large projects using Eclipse and OSGi
Marc Hoffman, Swiss Railway
Many productive applications have been built with a large and monolithic code base - and this is not an issue of the past. When such applications need to be extended or application variants should created we often wish for a modular structure in retrospect. This leads to the question commonly asked in this situation: Is it at all feasible to modularize a large productive application with acceptable costs and risk?
The Swiss railway (SBB) chose to do just that with its Rail Control System (RCS) project. The goal was to ensure its long term maintainability and - at the same time - keep the capability to incorporate future. This talk presents a practicable way to modularize large monolithic projects step-by-step and describes some of the benefits realized in the RCS project.
Model Driven Tool Chain for a Large Swiss Bank
Mario Lovisi (Credit Suisse) and Serano Colameo (itemis Schweiz) Talk in German
To manage a complex multi-tier service architecture, Credit Suisse implemented a framework and a model-driven, domain-specific solution.
In the first part of the presentation we will show the concept of a service architecture called «Multi Channel Platform – MCP». This architecture provides a framework to implement and reuse business logic in a SOA infrastructure.
The second part of the presentation shows how we realized a model-driven tool chain based on Eclipse Xtext and Xtend 2, called «Model Driven Generator – MDGEN». The tooling allows to model service layers with a domain specific language (DSL) and to generate most of the artifacts needed for the implementation.
Lessons learned by replace a bank-wide core application with an Eclipse RCP Client and a JEE backend
Nikolaos Kaintantzis, Zuhlke Engineering
Starting in 2008 we created a repository / data warehouse storing statistical data and meta data. An Eclipse RCP client is being used to provide an interface for expert users such as data administrators and programmers to manage and explore data, meta data and structure definitions, authorizations, and to develop and run scripts based on a Groovy DSL to automate processes. After a successful roll-out in 2010, we are working on the 3rd release.
Creating and maintaining this application taught us many lessons we want to share. You will see the benefits of and the challenges in using Eclipse RCP when building a big and important application.
Topics covered by this session: - The businesses first impression after the first sprints - Finding suitable perspectives - Limits of trees and tables - Integrating Groovy - Continuous integration with Eclipse and Maven - UX considerations and Eclipse RCP - Help system and documentation
Business Capability Modeling and EMF Recapitulation and Developments on Business and Tooling side
Christian Meier (UBS), Peter Brunner (NTT Data) & Philipp Kutter (Montages)
Slides: First Part, UBS [1] Second Part, Montages [2]
At Eclipse Banking Day 2008 in NYC the speakers presented how they used ECore to elaborate a metamodel for the Business Capability Modeling activities at UBS.
A summary is given. The evolution of the capability modeling in the financial services business and the new possibilities offered by the evolution of the Eclipse technologies are shown as well.
On the business side, the BIAN SOA initiative has managed to create a common understanding of the atomic capabilities and some specific value chains, while the grouping in to more abstract capabilities remains with the single organization. The metamodel of capability modeling is adapted correspondingly, allowing recording groupings, orderings and prioritization of existing capabilities coming from BIAN, rather than inventing new ones. Interestingly the BIAN approach is based on a metamodel for services, which is based itself on the ISO20022 metamodel for messages and common process understanding in the respective businesses, which as well has been reused in XBRL, the standard for financial reporting. This allowed reusing metamodel created by one of the speaker as expert in the TC68/WG4/5 groups defining modeling methodology for ISO20022.
On the tooling side, a number of used frameworks have made progress. Most notably, the new version 3.0 of GMF now makes it easy to generate a graphical value chain editor, while back in 2008, this was considered a no-go.
Managing Eclipse Workplaces in the Enterprise
Dietmar Stoll, itemis Schweiz
Starting enterprise projects with Eclipse usually involves defining an Eclipse distribution to be used by the developers. It typically includes a set of project specific features, update sites, target platform definitions, preferences and more. Developers are supposed to follow set-up procedures, for instance connecting to a specific source code repository and importing project sets and preferences. This manual kind of Eclipse workplace provisioning is known to be inconsistent and error-prone, and is especially hard to implement when teams are large and distributed. Automated and centrally managed provisioning of Eclipse distributions (including Eclipse workspace provisioning) can help to make sure that all developers get equipped with the same workplace setup and that updates or changes get rolled out simultaneously and consistently over all workplaces which significantly speeds up project setup time, reduces support overhead, and decreases maintenance effort. This talk presents an Eclipse workplace provisioning solution that has been successfully implemented for an automotive customer with internationally distributed development teams and sites.
Model-driven development in the context of technical SOA
Michael Rauch & Christoph Gutmann, Swiss Mobiliar
Experience report about how Eclipse Modeling technology is successfully applied to establish forward engineering in the domain of technical SOA. Modeling and code generation help us to drive standardization, increase quality and portability, reduce development effort and gain insight into dependencies. Besides giving an overview of the current solution and the underlying technologies, also lessons learned concerning process and organization are shared. Datatypes, Services, Components and Wirings are modeled in a DSL (Xtext). This model spans project boundaries and contains all technical SOA participants of the company. The model is stored in a central repository. Multiple artifacts are generated based on the model, among them are WSDL, Service Endpoint- and Client-Implementations for multiple target platforms, a service catalog and multiple reports. Finally generated artifacts are pushed to their respective repositories (SOA repository, Maven repository).
One Vision – One Platform; Eclipse as a platform for GUI integration
Remo Loetscher, Swiss PostFinance Talk in German
PostFinance provides its employees with a modular workspace for everyday work based on the Eclipse (Rich Client) platform. The different requirements and business workflows of each section are subdivided into individual modules known as "domain-specific plug-ins". The Eclipse environment is used as an integration and application platform for business software artefacts generated locally. An extended RCP platform allows cooperation and integration of different domain-specific plug-ins from a technical point of view. A dedicated GUI team is responsible for organisational aspects.
The Eclipse RCP platform has been extended in areas in which it did not cover specific technical requirements. In the same way, the Eclipse UI style guides and technical guidelines have been extended in order to assist smooth interaction between the development, release cycle and integration of different domain-specific plug-ins. The main focus of this internal development is the stated objective of deviating as little as possible from the Eclipse standard.
The talk will highlight the reasons for choosing the Eclipse platform and discuss the first steps with Eclipse RCP. It will also describe the difficulties and challenges that arise from having a technical variety of in-house frameworks and section-specific RCP developments and investigate how to overcome non-technical obstacles such as different requirements or expectations of GUIs. It will also give an overview of the current status of Eclipse RCP platform use at PostFinance. Finally, the talk will outline solutions currently under consideration with regard to internal developments for the immediate future.
Modernizing a large Counter Application during ongoing operation
Dieter Funk (Swiss Post) & Paolo Bazzi (BSI) Talk in German
Outdated applications are a risk. How can we replace a large existing application without endangering the ongoing operation? As for any application handling over 150 million customer interactions each year, a proper approach to this challenge is obviously a top priority.
In this two part talk we presents the incremental approach chosen by Swiss Post to migrate its Centura based SCHAPO cashier application to the Eclipse RCP technology involving BSI as a technology partner. The incremental setup delivered two decisive advantages: minimization of risk and optimal cost control. Furthermore, the step-by-step migration of existing components allowed the parallel implementation of new business requirements. Depending on the volume of the new requirements more or less legacy code was refactored and replaced in each delivery.
In the second part of the talk we explain the target architecture and the Eclipse technology involved. We also elaborate on the move towards an open service-oriented architecture that enables the integration of external service providers into the cashier application such as Ticket Corner, prepaid cards or insurance companies.
Finally, we offer some of the lessons learn in this multi-year migration project.
Generating Web Serices with Xtext based DSL
Frank Baier & Matthias Cullman, Basler Versicherung AG Talk in German
Are you WSDL-First or Java-First? We are Baloise-Service-Model-first!
Xtext provides a powerful framework to create DSLs. We used these capabilities to create the Baloise Service Modelling Language, which allows us to describe services in a concise and truely platform independent manner. The Java-Like DSL has a smooth learning curve for developers and generation of many custom web service artifacts ensures productivity and quality.
We are amazed by the power of Xtext and DSL - since the introduction in our development community more projects have been initiated. We will present background on the decisions that lead us to Xtext and of course the Baloise Service Modelling Language.
Requirements Engineering, Management and Traceability with Eclipse
Jens Trompeter, itemis
Within the scope of requirements engineering, key quality advantages emerge when formal models are created with suitable software tools , e.g. in terms of accuracy, consistency, search options and the traceability of changes. This tool does not necessarily have to be a heavyweight, complicated and expensive standard tool.
With the Eclipse tool YAKINDU Requirements, you describe your requirements with the help of formal models. For this purpose, different specification languages, including an editor, are at one's disposal for the various elements of your requirements specification. From the consistent modeling information, YAKINDU Requirements generates requirement specifications and other documents at the touch of a button.
Thereby, the specification language for requirements, use cases, business objects, etc. are based on the Eclipse technology Xtext - a framework for the development of domain-specific languages (DSLs).
With Xtext, one's own DSLs can be created in a short space of time: On the basis of the simple EBNF-grammar of the framework, components such as parsers, meta-models and even mature and fully functional Eclipse-editors are derived automatically. For example, it is possible to complement one's own DSLs for the modeling of finance products, business rules, etc.
This talk will show how you describe your requirements with the Eclipse tool YAKINDU Requirements and the help of formal models based on Eclipse Xtext.
Model-based UI Transformation to Eclipse Scout
Volkert Barr (Raiffeisen) & Stephan Leicht (BSI)
For the context of modernizing Raiffeisen's DIALBA system, a large core banking application, we present the approach selected to re-architecture and transform this historically grown system into a modern target architecture involving Java/Eclipse technology.
In a first step using IBM's ACT4 transformation engine the legacy application is parsed from the complete source artifacts into ACT4's model inventory. Definition of layers and system components follow after a dependency analysis on the ACT4 model inventory. All elements of the system are then assigned to their location within the technical and functional target architecture. Finally, the source code for the transformed application is generated per layer and component according to this target architecture.
For the specific case of the Client/UI Layer a formal declarative definition for each module will first be generated by ACT4. A purpose built generator will then produce a modularized Client/UI Application based on the Eclipse Scout framework. The resulting application is then to be executed by an Eclipse Virgo Server. In addition to presenting an overview of the chosen migration path, the presentation will highlight additional aspects of the transformation process and the target architecture that might be of interest to the audience.

I expected my mood my elevate with the thermometer, but it hasn't. I'm stuck in the doldrums and my head isn't properly screwed on. It has been thus for an annoyingly long time–my energy keeps ebbing, and all I want to do is crawl under the bed and ignore the world.
I don't often write about feeling blue. That's a difficult state of mind to pin down with words; it almost always comes out as whining.
I hate whining, and have extremely limited patience with those who indulge.
It'd make me feel better to write about where I'm seeking comfort. Anybody care to guess?
It's a Baby Surprise Jacket. The yarn is Rowan Felted Tweed, bought in Amsterdam a couple of years ago. Unlike the first jacket, this one's not going to Mongolia. I know the baby who will (I hope) wear it, although we have not yet been formally introduced.
Since I began it, this project and I have been inseparable. It's giving me exactly what my brain craves right now: a clear path with a definite ending. Cast on, knit, cast off, fold, sew. No room for uncertainty.
My life right now is a great tottering pile of uncertainty. I was coasting along in a dull little rut when suddenly things started to splinter. Possibilities have arisen involving my life, my work, and my romantic entanglements. All are distantly promising, but the promise could evaporate at any moment. And there's only so much I can do about it.
I hate, hate, hate that.
These are two things Buddhism has taught me, and that I believe:
- All things are impermanent and change is constant.
- Suffering arises from the desire to hang on to things that are impermanent or control that which cannot be controlled.
All the people reading this who know me well just had a laughing fit.
If I can't control the big things, dammit, I'll try to control the little ones. Give me two needles and yarn, and I can make one stitch after another until the thing I want is in my grasp. I'm going to knit this jacket, and keep on knitting, until the other stuff I want either shows up or doesn't. It gives me the illusion of control. And I know it's just an illusion, but sometimes illusion is enough.
