0:00 - 1:00: >> JIM ZEMLIN: Welcome to LinuxCon Europe, our first event, and the Embedded Linux Conference Europe. I have to apologize. We have had a lot more people come to the event than we expected, so I see a lot of people standing over there. But the good news is that the interest in Linux is bigger than ever and I think that's why so many people have come here today to be a part of this. So I want to thank all of you for for attending. I want to thank also our sponsors who are making the event possible. In particular our platinum sponsors Intel and Qualcom without which we couldn't do this event. Also for the Embedded Linux Conference Europe, I want to thank in particular Sony who is the platinum sponsor of that event.
1:00 - 2:00: I also like so specifically thank the folks from Linux Congress who are our program and content partners this year. The folks from Linux Congress do a really good job helping us has made this event possible. So thanks to all of you from Linux Congress. I have a couple of quick announcements before we start. Tonight we have an evening event at the oldest brewery in the Czech Republic, the New Fleku Brewery. As with all Linux Foundation events, it will be free as in beer. So please come to tonight's event. There will be free food and free beer for everyone. Buses depart at 6:15 and 7 o'clock tonight downstairs. Also we have a mobile app for the event. You can go and download it from the Android marketplace or if you really have to, you can get it from the iTunes appstore. [laughter] It's free and it has a conference guide in that will tell you updates on all the things going on at the event.
2:00 - 3:00: I also have a few news items that I want to share with you today from the Linux Foundation. The first thing I want to announce is a new project that we are kicking off this week here in Europe. It's called the long term support initiative. This is a group of members of the Linux Foundation that decided to get together in the consumer electronics industry and share some of the work that is done on using a long term stable kernel that can help them make products quicker and faster. Most of these folks are doing a lot of engineering work by themselves that they can easily share and the long term support initiative will help them maintain a common kernel that they can use in the marketplace. So check that out. There's going to be some sessions this evening and its a pretty good line of the folks from really some of the biggest names in consumer electronics.
3:00 - 4:00: Also we are announcing today the release of yocto projects 1.1 version. This has really become a cool project very quickly that is now being used by a lot of embedded an consumer product companies to actually build real products for the real marketplace. So as you recall, we announced this last year, but it has really gained attraction recently. And if you have not checked it out yet, you should really go to the yocto booth out here and check out the 1.1 release of the yocto project. Finally, I'd like to welcome a dozen of our newest members from Europe to the Linux Foundation. One thing that I want to point out is, that even though I live in California and Linus Torvalds lives in Portland, Linux and the Linux Foundation are really a global phenomenon. There really is no borders, when it comes to Linux.
4:00 - 5:00: I am really excited to see more organizations and all of you as individuals participating in the Linux Foundation and in the movement that is Linux. So: thank you and welcome to the Linux Foundation. And so with that I thought of what I would talk to all of you today about is - on the 20th anniversary of Linux - what the world would be like if there was no Linux. What kind of a place would it be if 20 years ago, Linus Torvalds never got started with Linux - decided, he had better things to do. I don't want to give you any ideas in this, but - what if Linux had never happened. [blue screen] What kind of world would we [laughter] live - wait a second. [Windows boot screen] Oh - come on, guys. [laughter]
5:00 - 6:00: All right - so. What would it be like if there was no linux in the world? What kind of place would it be? [blue screen] What kind of things would happen? Guys - come on. You got to be kidding me. [Windows boot screen] All right. Well I can start it in about 20 minutes here. [laughter] So - seriously - what would the world be like without Linux? By the way, does anybody know what happens during the reboot, in the windows reboot process? It takes so long. I was wondering - like what was actually going on? Well it turns out that Microsoft actually has patented this process. Here is the patent: Number 15 Million 999. That's what's going on inside. But what would the world look like without Linux? Well, I can tell you. Everything would be in black and white. The world without Linux would be an absolutely terrible place.
6:00 - 7:00: It would be dark and grim. And we would have some terrible consequences without Linux. First of all: Stocks would stop trading. More than 75 per cent - as you just heard - of the global financial trading systems run on Linux. And that number keeps going up every day. Trains would stop running. Air traffic control systems, train control systems - all run on Linux. Special effects would be terrible. Wait, but - to all the Japanese, I'm doing my apologize. [laughter] But - you know - all the Hollywood special effects, movies like Avatar, all the digital effects you see are build on huge Linux clusters. You wouldn't be able to find anything on the internet without Linux. Google runs on Linux.
7:00 - 8:00: It would be even worse than. You wouldn't be able to buy any books! Amazon runs on Linux. And finally you would have no friends. [laughter] Facebook also runs on Linux. You wouldn't be able to fast forward through TV commercials. Almost all modern DVR devices, they run on Linux. And finally: Nuclear submarines might go crazy and the world could come to an end. Nuclear submarines run on Linux. Its a really important role that Linux plays in the world and it would certainly be dark without Linux. And what's interesting is, even though that didn't happen, the world isn't that terrible, many people predicted this dark and evil world.
8:00 - 9:00: So I thought - on the 20th anniversary of Linux - it might be worth looking back on some of the predictions, people made about Linux over many years. Here are a fer. The first one, from Bil Gates. You know; look at this quote. But when you say to people - do you understand the GPL? - than they're pretty stunned when the Pac-Man-like nature at it is described to them. And I thought about this quote. This is from back in 2001. When Bil Gates said, Linux has in the GPL license a Pac-Man-like nature, what was he talking about? Pac-Man? I played a lot of Pac-Man, and I didn't figure it out. Then finally, it dawned on me. This is what he meant. [laughter] He saw a market forecast for Linux.
9:00 - 10:00: So it all made sense to me. But he wasn't the only one. Here is another prediction. Does anybody remember SCO? Anyone? So this guy, the CEO of the SCO group, he said - listen: everyone says we are going out of business - right - but once they have their day in court, when the SCO group has their day in court, people are going to see we are right. And you know - what is funny about that - is, the SCO group actually did have their day in court. They went to court, and they did some things, but unfortunately for SCO, their day in court was a bankruptcy hearing where they filed chapter eleven and basically went out of business. [applause] Yes. All right. (?) for SCOs demise. Yes.
10:00 - 11:00: But - it wasn't just the SCO group or Bill Gates. There is lots of people who criticized. You know - some times it was for legal reasons as with SCO, sometimes it was for business reasons. In this case, Craig Mundie, this is my favorite, this is again back from 2001, he said that - you know - open source, that type of development - you know - maybe it has a role somewhere. But, no one is ever going to use Linux to create a mass market product. Something powerful, something easy to use, something broadly accessible to consumers. Like Linux, open source, you could never do it. You would never be able to use Linux to produce something that would sell thousands and thousands of products to consumers every day. Right? Well, it turns out you can.
11:00 - 12:00: Google is activating 550000 Android devices which use Linux every single day. It is unbelievable, how easy it is to use any Android Linux based device. Or one of the many other devices based on Linux that are out there in the consumer electronic place. Televisions, DVRs, that things. But listen, if it's not usability ans if it's not legal fad - well - Linux will never succeed as a business. This is one of my favorites. This is from a market analyst in the United States. He predicted that this company Red Hat - does anybody here work for Red Hat ? few Red Hat people here - well I mean, look at the company: right? Limited resources, limited engineering talent, you Red Hat guys are not that good. [laughter]
12:00 - 13:00: Serious IP issues. Right? Could never succeed as a business. Well, it turns out Red Hat not only succeeded. Red Hat is going to break a billion dollars in revenue this year. All right. [applause] I tell you, today it's an eight - nine billion dollar company. This is a company that will do a billion dollars in revenue this year solely based on open-source software. That really is impressive and it really shows how wrong predictions about Linux were. But this is my favorite one. This is my favorite one. Steve Ballmer. He just can not be taught. [laughter] It's a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual sense to everything it touches.
13:00 - 14:00:
14:00 - 15:00:
15:00 - 15:45:
15:45 - 16:45: [video Microsoft vs. Linux]
16:45 - 17:00:
17:00 - 18:00:
18:00 - 19:00:
19:00 - 20:00: And the primary reason Linux succeeds - it is is because it represents one enduring quality that's bigger than all of us. In 20 years we have seen everything. Predictions, legal fad, business models - you know - sort of being questioned. But one thing has endured the entire time. One thing lasts forever. And that's Freedom. Freedom is what matters. Freedom is why Linux is so successful. The Freedom to take the source-code, do whatever you want with it, share it with your friends. Those ideas are important. And those ideas have affected all of mankind. And I think, one of the best examples of this idea being on the right side of history can be seen in a video that I'd love to show.
20:00 - 20:20: It came from IBM when they first announced their support for Linux. And I think it's worth looking back 10 years ago and seeing how the same concepts of freedom and openness and learning still exist and endure today. Let's take a look.
20:20 - 21:45: [video IBM Linux Commercial]
21:45 - 22:00: The future is open. And that quality will live with us all forever even beyond our own lives as individuals.
22:00 - 23:00: Because Linux isn't just about the ten thousand lines of code that are added every day. It's not about the ten billion dollar investment that Linux represents. It's not about the five thousand lines of code that are subtracted every day with a nearly three million lines of code that are created every year with Linux. It's bigger than that. It's about a concept of collaborative development. And none of you are smarter than anyone else in the room and that together we are smarter than all of us. And that hasn't just created the worlds greatest collaborative development project which is Linux. It has created more than that. It's created an entire concept of how to innovate. It's started an entire school of thought.
23:00 - 24:00: It's proven that this is a better way to create new products. To create new fields of science and industry. It's gone beyond software into pharmaceuticals and manufacturing and mining and all sorts of other industries. It's created a shamra (?) of literature, of literally hundreds of academic books written on the topic. And that's what really matters, is that all of you - by participating in Linux - are part of something that will last forever. Something that has made the world a better place. Sure, we might flame each other in e-mail wars. Or we might argue over certain things. But I think that we can all agree - on the 20th anniversary of Linux: What we've done here has made the world a better place.
24:00 - 25:00: The world isn't black and white. The world is a far better place, a far more colorful place, thanks to the work of all of you. So, congratulations to you guys on the 20th anniversary of Linux. Happy anniversary to all of you. Thank you. [applause] So we've got that on this 20th anniversary if we weren't bringing up the guys that started that all, and hear directly from the source what's going on in the Linux kernel and Linux kernel development. I'd like to bring on stage our kernel panel.

United sued for alleged fuel scam
Jan. 15, 2013, Chicago, Il. - A transportation agency on Monday filed a lawsuit alleging that United Airlines is falsely claiming to buy huge amounts of jet fuel out of a small, rural Illinois office that
doesn't even have a computer to avoid paying tens of millions of dollars in taxes in Chicago, where the purchases are allegedly being made.
January 15, 2013 By Carey Fredericks
The Regional Transportation Authority alleges United Aviation Fuels Corp., a subsidiary of United Airlines, has operated a "sham'' office in the DeKalb County community of Sycamore since 2001 after reaching an agreement to pay the town more than $300,000 a year — a fraction of what it would have owed in sales taxes in Chicago and Cook County.
"The only reason that United Fuels has an office in Sycamore is to attempt to create a sham tax situs (location) for fuel sales in a lower taxing jurisdiction,'' reads the lawsuit that the RTA said it filed Monday morning.
United officials say they have not seen the lawsuit, but that the Sycamore operation is legal.
"We buy fuel in Sycamore,'' spokeswoman Megan McCarthy said in an email.
The RTA, which contends the office has no computer and is staffed by one person who only works part time, said consultants visited the site on a recent weekday and found it locked with nobody inside. The agency said judging from the few chairs and empty desks seen through a window, there is little, if any, business occurring in the office.
"Whoever is out there is not negotiating hundreds of millions of dollars worth of jet fuel,'' said Jordan Matyas, the RTA's chief of staff. He said any negotiations for fuel — as well as delivery scheduling, accounting, credit approval and administrative decisions — are being done in the Willis Tower in downtown Chicago, where United is headquartered.
The RTA alleges that American Airlines is engaged in a similar "sham'' business out of an office it rents in Sycamore's City Hall. But Matyas said American was not included in the lawsuit because the
airline remains in bankruptcy, and that suing American would require litigating the case both in federal bankruptcy court in New York and in Cook County Circuit Court, where the RTA plans to file its suit against United. He added that the RTA does plan to pursue legal action against American at some point.
The two airlines are spending a staggering amount of money on fuel. Based on sales taxes that were paid in Sycamore, the RTA estimates that in 2012 alone the two airlines spent "approximately $1.2 billion on jet fuel the airlines'' for jets at O'Hare, Matyas said in an email, adding that it is unclear how much of that was later sold to other airlines.
United officials said they have not received a copy of the complaint, but "believe that any such suit would be without merit.''
"In fact, the operation of our fuel subsidiary in Sycamore has been examined by tax authorities in the past and has been determined to comply with all applicable laws,'' McCarthy said in an email.
American spokeswoman Mary Frances Fagan said in an email that the airline does not comment on pending litigation but added: "What American is doing is permitted under Illinois law.''
Sycamore's city manager, Brian Gregory, declined comment.
The RTA said in a prepared statement that "sales tax dodges'' have cost the city of Chicago $133 million in lost sales tax revenue since 2005. They have cost Cook County an additional $60 million and
Metra, Pace and the Chicago Transit Authority another $96 million, according to the RTA, which oversees the three agencies and relies on sales tax revenue for much of its funding.
"CTA, Metra and Pace have had to work with constrained budgets and have needed to raise fares and reduce service because the money's just not there,'' RTA executive director Joe Costello said in the news release. "Now we know why.''
The lawsuit is potentially embarrassing for Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who earlier this year called United's decision to move its corporate headquarters to Chicago "great news for all Chicagoans.''
When told of the lawsuit, Emanuel spokeswoman Sarah Hamilton said: "The City has been supportive of efforts in Springfield to ensure corporations pay their fair share, but we have not seen this specific lawsuit and therefore cannot comment on it.''
According to the RTA, the total sales tax rate in Sycamore is 9.5 per cent, compared to 8 per cent in Chicago. But the RTA contends the airlines are getting an even better deal: The two companies have
entered 25-year agreements that call for Sycamore to "kick back'' most of its share of the sales tax on jet fuel — as much as $14 million a year — in exchange for payments of at least $300,000 a year from each airline.
A document provided by the RTA contends that the agreement with United calls for Sycamore to receive $360,000 to $556,000 between 2003 and 2026.
The lawsuit is part of a larger effort by the RTA to combat similar deals between various communities and companies.
The RTA, the city of Chicago and Cook County in 2011 filed lawsuits against Kankakee and the village of Channahon. They alleged that those communities' tax incentive programs are costing other
government agencies millions of dollars, because they allow companies to avoid paying higher sales taxes by moving purchases through satellite offices in areas where the sales tax rates are lower.
According to the RTA's lawsuit against Kankakee and Channahon, the agency is owed at least $100 million in lost revenue. The communities contend their programs are legal.

Elote - Mexican Corn on the Cob
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Elote, or Mexican corn on the cob, is a treat that I should make more often for my family. While it will never replace the spare glory of corn that's been freshly picked and steamed, this spicy treat, hawked by vendors in Mexico and the desert Southwest, is a real palate pleaser. While elote is usually grilled, it can be steamed or broiled before it is slathered with a mixture of butter, real mayonnaise and lime juice. The final fillip, applied just before serving, is a liberal sprinkling of cotija cheese and cayenne pepper. Cotija is a semi-hard and crumbly cheese that resembles Parmesan. It is used to add some saltiness and texture to the finished ears of corn. The corn is best served piping hot and all the condiments should be applied to it while the kernels are still warm enough to bathe in the butter and mayonnaise as they melt. I must admit to a bit of theme and variation when I make this. Rather than sprinkle the corn with cayenne pepper, which I find very harsh, I add a half teaspoon of mashed chipotle in adobo to the mayonnaise called for in the recipe. It adds gentle fire to the corn and I find it more pleasing to the tongue than cayenne. I also steam the corn when I make this recipe. I've found that's the best way to get consistently moist corn. I hope you'll give this a try. The classic recipe, sans my changes, appears below.
Elote - Mexican Corn on the Cob...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
4 cobs of corn
2 tablespoons of butter
4 tablespoons of mayonnaise
4 lime wedges
1/2 cup of cotija cheese, crumbled
Cayenne to taste
1) About 1 hour before cooking, soak unhusked corn in water.
2) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. When hot, drain corn and cook in husks for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes.
3) Pull husk layers down, leaving them attached to base of the cob, which can act as a handle.
If you like blackened corn, place under broiler for five minutes, I personally find this dries the corn, but this is really a matter of individual preference.
4) While corn is warm, spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each cob. Sprinkle each ear with 2 tablespoons cheese and some cayenne pepper. Squirt lime juice all over cob. Serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings.

My daughter has been making Elote for several months now after watching them in the Mexican market near our home. The sell it in a cup and call it 'corn in a cup'.
The way they do it in the market is boiling the corn, then spread the Goya mayonnaise (distinctly different taste from Bast Foods)all over the cob. Sprinkle with shredded cotija cheese and a lime/paprika seasoning that she picked up at the market. Then cut it off the cob, put it in the cup or bowl and put a glob of squeezable parkey on top, mix it all up and serve.
SOOOOOOOooooo good. I am not supposed to eat corn at all but I really do enjoy this. - June 21, 2011 at 2:03 AM

I am more familiar with this as "corn in a cup" which we got at a Mexican place near our home when we were in Denver. They used parmesan. Once again I have to ask if you will consider using a font that is not tilted. I struggle reading it.

Corn's not quite ready here yet . . . will have to try. I like steaming corn, too. I have tried lime butter and know I would like the added kick of some kind of hot pepper. Thanks for the inspiration. BTW, you also inspired me to make your asparagus pesto. Delightful! (Have to admit, Mr. Rosemary turned up his nose at it.)

I love making Mexican corn. We do it a lot around our house. It's funny, I grew up in Nebraska where if you put anything on the corn, it was butter..a little salt and pepper. Now as I have gotten older I love try adding new flavors to the corn... it's fun!

Mary, your Mexican corn looks great! Here in the midwest, it's just butter and salt, so this is a must try! Sadly, our local corn will be late this year due to all the rain.
- June 21, 2011 at 9:10 AM
Oh thank you - I have a ton of corn in the fridge and didn't have any inspiration - you have just given it to me!

I've seen this often, but I think I'm usually strayed by the mayo that's in it. Think I might have to buck up and give it a go, because I love all of the other flavors that this includes!

I love corn this way but, have never been able to recreate it at home. I love your tips of steaming and the chipotle. What a treat this would be if I could get mine to look and taste like yours.

Mary, Corn on the cob is a true summer treat. Both my wife and I just love fresh sweet corned steamed, slathered in butter with a little salt and peppoer. (We had a cat that loved it too!) In any case, this is a great sounding variation on a simple dish that we love. We will definitely give it a try! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

This looks so good, but I have never heard of the cheese you describe. Where would you find such a thing, Whole Foods? oh, I see corn ice-cream below, that should rate an appearance on Top Chef!

I'm sure my husband would love this Mexican version of corn on the cob, but I'm too whimpy(and I'm even part Mexican:)). Maybe I could just leave off the hot stuff:)

This is actually my favorite way to have corn!!! YUM! Sometimes I take it off of the cob and have it on top of burritos. Lavish? Yes a bit. Over the top? Yup. Delish, ABSOLUTLEY!

Yes,I much prefer to steam the corns too rather than roast so that the corn are still plum and juicy:) I usually slatter on butter and sprinkle pepper powder on the hot corn before serving. Must try this version next time:) Looks good!

No matter how many times I've had it, in however many places (Japan does it too), I have NEVER gotten used to mayonnaise on corn on the cob! Your version with the adobo makes me want to give it one more try, though...!

"I just had some bad luck over the last 12 months, and I'm excited that everything's falling into place and that I get to fight." - Johnny Bedford
UFC bantamweight Johnny Bedford proudly sports the nickname "Brutal." He never knew it was going to describe his 2012 campaign up to this point.
"I think you hit the nail on the head," he chuckles. "It has been a brutal year. I'm one of those guys, my record may only show 30-something fights, but I've got close to 50 fights throughout my career, so I'm one of those guys that stay pretty consistent and pretty regular when it comes to fighting. So not fighting for a whole year is something I'm completely not used to. I just had some bad luck over the last 12 months, and I'm excited that everything's falling into place and that I get to fight."
Finally returning to the Octagon this Friday for his second UFC fight (against Brazil's Marcos Vinicius) a little over 12 months after his debut win over Louis Gaudinot in December of 2011, Bedford (18-10-1) has gone through enough trying times in the past year to test the resolve of anyone, something he didn't expect as soon as the dust settled after his first UFC win.
"I knew that injuries were part of the deal, but it's really funny because I look at some of the guys from the (Ultimate Fighter) season that I was on, and they've got three or four fights already," said Bedford, a TUF 14 competitor who has seen castmates Steven Siler (four UFC fights), Dustin Pague (four), John Albert (four), Marcus Brimage (three), Dennis Bermudez (three), Diego Brandao (three), TJ Dillashaw (three), and John Dodson (three) all get in at least three bouts including the finale. Dodson even earned a flyweight title shot. Bedford, meanwhile, has been on the shelf.
"I was actually scheduled to be the first one to fight after the finale," he said. "I didn't take too much damage (against Gaudinot), it was a pretty one-sided fight, and we asked to get right back on right away. And within two weeks I had already signed my next contract."
That January fight against former WEC bantamweight champion Eddie Wineland was scrapped due to a Wineland injury though. Stepping in for the FOX 2 card in Chicago was Canada's Mitch Gagnon, but he was pulled out of the fight as well. Making the most of the situation, Bedford got his show money from the UFC and enjoyed a few days in the Windy City before blowing up matchmaker Sean Shelby's phone with a request to fight as soon as possible. Shelby obliged, delivering a fight with another Canadian, Nick Denis, on May's UFC on FOX 3 card in New Jersey.
This time, Bedford, who welcomed a daughter to the family in April with his wife ("She's a product of The Ultimate Fighter by the way, and it's a blessing that we have her now," he laughs), was the one forced out of the fight, this time when he injured the MCL in his knee.
"I don't know if it's FOX cards or Canadians, but either way it's bad luck for me," said Bedford, whose injury came out of the blue one Saturday night.
"I did an extra workout just because I was fighting in May and I was a month out," he said of the April mishap. "I missed a few workouts earlier in the week just staying in the hospital (for the birth of his daughter). So I did an extra workout with my Thai boxing instructor, and we weren't working out 10 minutes when he threw a leg kick at probably 30 percent because we were warming up, and my foot stuck to the mat and all I heard was 'pop' and I dropped screaming."
Luckily, the injury didn't affect Bedford's ACL, so no surgery, just rest and rehab, were necessary for him to heal up. But when you've been fighting professionally for over six years and training is part of your lifestyle, you can go a little stir crazy.
"It was a hard thing for me," said the Ohio native and Texas resident. "It was really weird for me to sit out four months and not train at all. I own a gym, so I'm teaching, and I couldn't even train for two months. It was crazy, so for me to even start rolling again or hitting pads and all that stuff that I do to get ready for a fight, my cardio was terrible and you start doubting yourself. Luckily, I was wanting to get a fight in September so I was training as if I was going to fight and I was so hungry and wanting to get back into the cage that we were ready to take a short notice fight if that possibility came up. I was willing to fight anybody."
He didn't get a short notice call. Instead, he was able to get a full training camp in for Saturday's bout in Las Vegas against Vinicius, a member of the first TUF Brazil cast. And if there is any upside to the time off, he's had plenty of opportunity to get better and to get accustomed to some new members of his team, including the guys at Team Takedown and their coach Marc Laimon.
"I feel really good," said the 29-year-old Bedford. "My sparring is obviously not a fight but I'm sparring really hard with really good guys and I do my boxing sparring with nothing but pro boxers, so I don't think anyone in MMA is gonna box like these guys do. I'm also grappling with a different team - I'm with Team Takedown now with Johny Hendricks and all those guys. Marc Laimon is the head coach and I thought I was a pretty good grappler, but then I go out there with Marc and he just breaks things down and blows my mind, so my grappling is improving every day, and I'm just ready to go."
Bedford is also now aware that while getting physically and mentally prepared for a fight and just showing up ready to go and to implement his own gameplan got him to this point in his pro career, as the level of competition rises, he's going to have to break things down a little bit more scientifically moving forward.
"I'm a veteran of the sport and I've had a lot of fights, and I've never really gameplanned before," he admits. "My mentality's always been that I'm gonna go fight my fight and make him fight my fight and I'm gonna come out victorious. Obviously we're getting to a higher level now, I'm in the UFC now and there's a little more science to it, and I'm surrounding myself with better people now. I didn't have Marc Laimon five years ago, so his input has helped me tremendously. So we're finding out things that he (Vinicius) does well and that he does not so well to take advantage of, and my boxing coach is the same way."
And if all goes well at the Hard Rock, he'll be able to pick up where he left off and get moving toward his ultimate goal of winning a world title. It's a journey that lost a precious year, but at the very least, he can take solace in the fact that while he hasn't moved forward, he hasn't moved backward either.
"What I've seen in the last 12 months is that the same guys are floating around the top and it hasn't changed a lot," said Bedford of the bantamweight division. "There are a few newer guys, and I haven't gained anything on that ladder by not fighting, but I haven't fallen either. I think I'm right where I was a year ago, which isn't where I want to be, but I think if I can get another impressive win and put on a show like I did against Gaudinot that they'll give me a fight right after, and I'm hoping to fight three or four times in 2013."
Now all he needs to do is stay away from black cats and not walk under any ladders in the time leading up to Saturday night's opening bell.
He laughs.
"I'm staying away from anything that brings bad luck, that's for sure."

Consult with your furniture store professional about the product to use. Always dust in the direction of the grain with a lightly damp cloth. Moisture should not remain on furniture after dusting. Furniture should be kept in a climate controlled environment. Avoid exposure to heat, chemicals, water and strong sun light to avoid fading and drying out. To prevent scratching, use felt discs under lamps and accessories that are placed on furniture. If you choose to use glass on top of wood, use discs between the glass and wood to allow air circulation. Metal hardware has a protective finish to prevent tarnishing and requires only an occasional dusting. If you wish to polish hardware, consult your furniture retailer for a quality polish. Do not use alcohol, ammonia or other harsh cleaners as they will remove the finish. If your furniture has a stone top, it should be protected from liquids, sunlight and temperature extremes. Use a lightly moistened cloth to clean the surface, or consult your furniture retailer for a recommended marble polish. When in storage, the stone top should be stored flat without heavy objects on it. Use caution when moving to protect the stone from breakage.

Digital Citizenship
Digital citizens belong to the digital society. They use technology to actively engage in and with society. Digital citizenship empowers people to reap the benefits of digital technology in a safe and effective way. Digital citizenship is a right; digital skills enable people to exercise this right.
"Our learners need to be equipped with a wide variety of digital skills to be allowed to be in the driving seat of technological-based innovation."
European Schoolnet's Perspective on the New Skills Agenda for Europe
Safe and responsible use of online technology
The Digital Single Market strategy aims to have every European digital. However, children and young people have particular needs and vulnerabilities. Therefore, governments, civil society and industry have a joint responsibility – together with parents, teachers and peers – to ensure that the internet is a place of opportunities for everyone to access knowledge, to communicate, to develop skills and to improve job perspectives and employability.
At European Schoolnet, we believe that digital and media literacies enable children and young people to become critical thinkers, to actively analyse, evaluate and create media messages, and to act responsibly in an online environment.
In our view, we can all help to make a difference. Below you can find links to a variety of portals and resources to help you keep up-to-date with the latest trends and issues concerning online safety and responsibility and digital literacy.
Online safety and responsibility
- A safer online environment: Better Internet for Kids
- A global day of focus on a safer and better internet: Safer Internet Day
- Certified accreditation for schools: eSafety Label
- Combat bullying through online and offline interactions: ENABLE
- Foster confidence in behaviour changes through serious games: eConfidence
Digital literacy
- Foster critical thinking for digital citizens: Web We Want
- Managing internet and mobile phone use: Family internet management tool
Active and creative digital life
To be active citizens in today's society we all need to be conversant with technology, as our everyday life is intertwined with digital tools. To function in a digital world, we need digital skills. We need them for learning, for work, for interacting with services, for buying and selling online, for entertainment, and for cultural, political and civic participation.
Digital skills cannot be limited to operational, passive use. They involve active creation, critical understanding, and problem-solving through digital means. Education should strive to empower learners to become creators rather than just consumers of technologies.
European Schoolnet supports the enhancement of digital skills of young people in a variety of ways. Below you can find more information concerning our projects and studies in the areas of digital skills, coding and computational thinking.
Digital skills for jobs and life
- Empowering youth for employability: I-LINC
- Bridging the digital skills gap: Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition
Coding and computational thinking
- Promoting teaching and learning coding and programming: European Coding Initiative and DIS-CODE
- Understanding the uptake of computational thinking in formal education: Computhink

Building a hello world application
From Openmoko
Languages: |
English • العربية • Български • Česky • Dansk • Deutsch • Esperanto • Eesti • Español • فارسی • Suomi • Français • עברית • Magyar • Italiano • 한국어 • Nederlands • Norsk (bokmål) • Polski • Português • Română • Русский • Svenska • Slovenčina • Українська • 中文(中国大陆) • 中文(台灣) • Euskara • Català |
Contents |
This guide assumes that you have performed the steps in Building_Openmoko_from_scratch
The commandline program
Store the following more or less standard hello world code in hello.c
#include <stdio.h> int main() { printf ("Hello World\n"); return 0; }
Compiling it the wrong / easy way
Assuming your current working directory is /home/moko, and that you stored the code in /home/moko/hello.c it should now be possible to compile the application using
./build/tmp/cross/arm-linux/bin/gcc -o hello hello.c
Testing it
Assuming you have followed Setting up USB connection and you have a working network connection to either a qemu Neo or a real Neo.
scp hello email@example.com:/tmp/ ssh firstname.lastname@example.com /tmp/hello
This sequence of commands ought to give you a nice Hello World, btw. the default root password is blank, just press return.
GDK the Wrong / Easy Way
Building a GDK application the wrong way is slightly more complex, but is still fun to try. It requires using pkg-config to specify including and linking with the ARM header files and libraries.
Given the following program as main.c:
#include <gtk/gtk.h> gchar *hello = "Howdy"; gchar *world = "World"; GtkWidget *label; gchar *labeltext; void buttoncb(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data) { if (labeltext == hello) { labeltext = world; gtk_label_set_text(GTK_LABEL(label), labeltext); } else if (labeltext == world) gtk_main_quit(); } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { GtkWidget *window; GtkWidget *button; gtk_init(&argc, &argv); window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL); button = gtk_button_new(); labeltext = hello; label = gtk_label_new(labeltext); gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(button), label); g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(button), "clicked", G_CALLBACK(buttoncb), NULL); gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), button); gtk_widget_show_all(window); gtk_main(); return 0; }
You must first point pkg-config to the proper directory:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/username/moko/build/tmp/staging/arm-linux/lib/pkgconfig
And set up an environment variable to make things easier:
export OMDIR=/home/username/moko
The compile/link line is rather long - you will only want to do this once before you decide to create a shell script or make file:
$OMDIR/build/tmp/cross/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/bin/gcc \ -L $OMDIR/build/tmp/staging/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/lib/ \ -Wl, rpath-link, $OMDIR/build/tmp/staging/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/lib/ -Wl, -O1 -g -o hw main.c \ '$OMDIR/build/tmp/staging/i686-linux/bin/pkg-config --cflags --libs openmoko-libs gtk+-2.0'
Then copy and run as in the original hello world command line program above.
Why was it the wrong way?
Openmoko provides a precompiled Toolchain package for that. It also comes with some scripts that make your life much easier. Besides, you don't need OpenEmbedded to build applications. If you do want to customize your complete distribution, then read on how to use bitbake when building stuff. In any way, at least you now know that you can easily cross compile for Openmoko.
The Right Way: Using the gnome build system
Even if I am no expert in this - somebody had to make a start so I'll write down everything I still believe to remember from my 1st 'real' gnome application that used the autotools and all: I have never been able to find a good tutorial for making a "canonical" gnome application - and such a tutorial is urgently needed.
Since I know that many of these things will be missing or even inaccurate in the 1st step - if You find out to make it work better or at all - please document how to do this.
Creating the necessary documentation files and directory structure
First of all go into the directory you want to be the topmost application of yout new application, and create the following files:
AUTHORS | A list of all authors that took part in developing this project |
COPYING | The copyright notice. Favourably the GPL |
INSTALL | This file should contain the information how to build and install this program |
README | This file should contain all important information about the program including what the program was written for. |
NEWS | The name of this file should be self-describing |
TODO | The wishlist of your project |
Changelog | A list of the major changes to your project |
I remember that some of these files were mandatory - it's better create them all
Then create a directory named 'src - and copy the source code of the program there.
The configuration of the autotools
What is to be said to this section is that I included some requirements like gnome-vfs to the requirements not because our application actually needs these packages but because it was very hard to find out how to do so - and I therefore wanted to document how to add them.
If anybody doesn't like this approach - feel free to edit this wiki.
This file is a shell script that calls all autotools in the right order and with the right parameters so they will in the end generate the standard configure script that will detect how to build our program.
#! /bin/sh # # Most if not all of the contents of this file was taken from the openmoko # sample application as it was shipped with the openmoko toolchain on # January 31st, 2008 # srcdir=`dirname $0` test -z "$srcdir" && srcdir=. PKG_NAME="hello" (test -f $srcdir/configure.ac) || { echo -n "**Error**: Directory "\`$srcdir\'" does not look like the" echo " top-level $PKG_NAME directory" exit 1 } which gnome-autogen.sh || { echo "You need to install gnome-common from the GNOME CVS" exit 1 } REQUIRED_AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.7 USE_GNOME2_MACROS=0 REQUIRED_GETTEXT_VERSION=0.10.36 . gnome-autogen.sh
This file tells what the configure script has to do - and which parts of the intelligence delivered with the tools that generate the configure script we need.
I documented every line of which I found out what it actually does. The first line is for to tell the emacs text editor that it has to treat this file as an autoconf file.
# -*- Autoconf -*- # Process this file with autoconf to produce a configure script. # Tell autoconf to check what version of autoconf we need. AC_PREREQ(2.61) # Initialize autoconf and tell it what program we wrote, the version # of our program, and the address bug reports have to be sent to. AC_INIT([audiorec],[0.2],[audiorec.projects.openmoko.org]) # tell autoconf where to put the temporary files it generates AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([build-aux]) # This one is thaken from the "Migrationg to gnome Documentation Build # utilities". No Idea, what it does. AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4]) # give autoconf the name of a file whose existence is a hint that # autoconf has been started from the right directory. AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([src/diskusagemeter.c]) # Tell autoconf where to put the output file that contains all # definitions our C program will need AC_CONFIG_HEADER([src/config.h:src/config.hin]) # Initialize automake, and tell it to tell the C compiler to output as # many warnings as it can AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([-Wall foreign]) # The GNU Gettext version we used for internationalization of our # program... AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.16.1]) # ...Or alternatively the local gnu gettext installation AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external]) # Check for a C compiler AC_PROG_CC # Include all m4 macros that have to do with the language C AC_LANG_C # ??? AC_ISC_POSIX # ??? AC_HEADER_STDC # Checks for programs. AC_PROG_CC # We need the following type definitions from autoconf - or somebody else. AC_TYPE_INT8_T AC_TYPE_INT16_T AC_TYPE_INT32_T # AC_CHECK_LIB(libgnome-2.0, gnome_help_display_uri, [AC_DEFINE(HAVE_LIBGNOME, 1)]) # Prepare building the gnome documentation of this program #GNOME_DOC_INIT # Checks for libraries. dnl Checking for the required libraries. GTK_REQUIRED_VERSION=2.0.0 LIBGNOMEUI_REQUIRED_VERSION=2.0.0 GCONF_REQUIRED_VERSION=2.0.0 GNOMEVFS_REQUIRED_VERSION=2.0.0 ALSA_REQUIRED_VERSION=1.0.0 OGG_REQUIRED_VERSION=1.0.0 VORBIS_REQUIRED_VERSION=1.0.0 VORBISENC_REQUIRED_VERSION=1.0.0 PKG_CHECK_MODULES(DEPEND, gtk+-2.0 >= $GTK_REQUIRED_VERSION gconf-2.0 >= $GCONF_REQUIRED_VERSION gnome-vfs-2.0 >= $GNOMEVFS_REQUIRED_VERSION libgnomeui-2.0 >= $LIBGNOMEUI_REQUIRED_VERSION alsa >= $ALSA_REQUIRED_VERSION ogg >= $OGG_REQUIRED_VERSION vorbis >= $VORBIS_REQUIRED_VERSION vorbisenc >= $VORBISENC_REQUIRED_VERSION) AC_SUBST(DEPEND_CFLAGS) AC_SUBST(DEPEND_LIBS) # Gettext wants to know the path to the top directory and such things... top_builddir=`pwd` AC_SUBST(top_builddir) AC_SUBST(PACKAGE) AC_SUBST(LOCALEDIR) # Checks for the header files we include. AC_HEADER_STDC AC_CHECK_HEADERS([fcntl.h stdlib.h string.h sys/vfs.h]) # Checks for typedefs, structures, and compiler characteristics. AC_C_CONST # Checks for library functions that we really need. AC_FUNC_MALLOC # A list of all configuration files we have to generate AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile src/Makefile src/images/Makefile po/Makefile.in]) #help/Makefile # Tell autoconf to start outputting whatever it has to. AC_OUTPUT
This file is a template top-level-Makefile that will be filled with life by the configure script.
One thing that is added to the standard Makefile is code for automatically generate the _control-file mentioned above on a make dist
# A list of all subdirectories. SUBDIRS = src po # help # Allow automake to interpret m4 macros (needed for interpreting # gettext's makefile.in ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 # Files that aren't source files and still have to be in the tarball EXTRA_DIST = @PACKAGE_NAME@_control # An (currently unused) extension to the "install" target install-data-local: @PACKAGE_NAME@_control: Makefile.am configure.ac echo "Package: @PACKAGE_NAME@">$@ echo "Version: @PACKAGE_VERSION@">>$@ echo "Description: An voice recorder that can stop recording during silence">>$@ echo "Section: openmoko/applications">>$@ echo "Priority: optional">>$@ echo "Maintainer: your_name">>$@ echo "Architecture: armv4t">>$@ echo "Homepage: (The homepage of this project)">>$@ echo "Depends: gtk+ alsa-lib libogg libvorbis gnome-vfs libgnomeui">>$@ echo "Source: \$${SRC}">>$@
This file is a template Makefile that when filled with life by the configure script will compile our code.
The most important step here is to tell which files our program consists of.
AM_CFLAGS = $(DEPEND_CFLAGS) -Wall AM_LDFLAGS = $(DEPEND_LIBS) LDADD = $(LIBINTL) bin_PROGRAMS = hello hello_SOURCES = hello.c
Now the instructions on how to generate a gnome build system for our application should be nearly working. In order to generate a .tar.gz- archieve of the complete project that contains the full build system just type the following two lines:
./autogen.sh make dist
What still has to be done is internationalization: A very fine feature of open-source software is that it is possible to translate them to nearlly all languages - and normally sooner or later somebody will have done this.
The only thing that has to be done so our program can easily be internationalized is the following:
- get a gettext.h file and copy it to your src directory
- add an #include gettext.h to all source files that contain text that can be translated.
- add an _( in front of all strings that might be translated and an ) after the string.
Our source file looks now like this:
#include <stdio.h> #include "gettext.h" int main() { printf (_("Hello World\n")); return 0; }
Building our new package
I never used the offical openmoko toolchain, so no documentation for this for now - even if I don't think there is any magic there. Since the documentation of the MokoMakefile is rather good, I will document this approach - that I actually used - neither.

When Q zaps Picard off to the shuttle, the Captain protests that Q promised he would leave the Enterprise alone from now on, and Q says he has gotten around this by removing Picard from the Enterprise. But that's not what Q promised at all - the wager he had with Picard in Hide and Q was his "keeping out of humanity's path for ever". He shouldn't be able to interact with Picard or any Human in any way.
Q claims that the Borg is "not a he, not a she". Yet later episodes have always shown us male and female drones - the one that captured Picard in "Best of Both Worlds" looked female, and Seven of Nine is about as female as it's possible for a Human to get!
Great Moment :
The first appearance of the Borg cube, a sight which would soon become the most feared in Trek.
Body Count :
One drone seen killed. Eighteen people are in the section the Borg cut out of the Enterprise, and are presumably killed by decompression or assimilated. One would suppose that some thousands of drones were killed in the Enterprise's initial attack on the cube.
Factoid :
The Borg were originally meant to be an insectoid species, but this proved unrealistic on a TV budget. The cube was originally meant to be a sphere, but this was abandoned so as to steer clear of similarities with the Star Wars Death Star - though Borg spheres will eventually appear in "Star Trek : First Contact" and in Voyager. This was also the first of two appearences by Ensign Sonia Gomez.
Picard is visiting engineering when a new young Ensign, Gomez, spills her drink on him. Returning to his quarters to change, Picard emerges in a shuttle deep in space, far from the Enterprise. Angered to find Q aboard after he promised to leave Humanity alone on their last meeting, Picard refuses to talk to him at first but when Q threatens to keep him there for decades if necessary, he agrees to give him a hearing.
On the Enterprise Picard's absence is noted, along with the missing shuttle. This ship conducts a search, only to call it off when both Picard and Q appear in ten forward. Guinan appears to know Q, and he her, though neither one reveals any details. Q makes his pitch to the Captain - he is here to join the crew and explore with them. Picard is somewhat tempted by the prospect of learning about the mysterious Q, but ultimately rejects his request. When Q objects that Humans need his help as they are not ready for what awaits in space, Picard pridefully claims that they are ready to encounter anything. Q responds by throwing the Enterprise over seven thousand light years through space to system J-25 and then vanishes. Knowing that Guinan is from this part of space Picard asks her what might lie here, but she just tells him he should leave the area at once.
Nevertheless, Picard decides to explore a little before setting course for home. In a nearby system they find a formerly inhabited planet, but no sign of cities - just great rips in the ground where they had once been. They realise that the damage is identical to that done to the Federation starbases along the Romulan Neutral Zone a year before, just as sensors register an incoming ship. The vessel is strange in design - a gigantic cube with no apparent crew. A being from the ship beams aboard in the engineering room, inspecting a computer panel and interfering with it. They shoot the cybernetic creature, killing it - but another appears, and this time it is protected by a forcefield which their weapons cannot penetrate. After completing the inspection, the creature beams out and the dead body disintegrates.
Guinan tells Picard that the creatures are known as the Borg. Their whole race are cyborgs, using large numbers of implants. They have a group mind, connecting their brains through subspace to form a single collective consciousness. This is why the sensors don't recognise them onboard the ship, because there are no individual lifesigns. The Borg ship locks a tractor beam on the Enterprise, bringing down the shields, and cuts a section out of the primary hull. Eighteen people are killed in the section, which is taken into the Borg ship. Picard orders Worf to return fire, and the Borg ship is easily disabled.
Picard decides to send an away team to the ship. Riker investigates and finds many Borg aboard, but they are either dormant in support alcoves or simply going about their business, oblivious of the Enterprise personnel since they are not presenting a threat. It seems that the Borg are interested only in the technology they can steal and use, whilst anything else is irrelevant. Exploring further they find a nursery where babies lie in cribs with cybernetic implants already in place. They realise that the Borg are using their collective strength to repair the damage to the ship, and quickly beam back to the Enterprise. Picard orders them to retreat at high warp, but the Borg ship quickly follows. As with the individuals, whilst their first attack was successful the second time their phasers and torpedoes have no effect at all, and the Borg fire weapons designed to bring down their shields. Q appears again, taunting Picard - the Borg are relentless, he says. The Enterprise cannot outrun them or defeat them, and they will never stop until they get what they want. Sooner or later, they will lose. The Borg ship takes out their warp drive and closes rapidly. Picard caves in and begs Q for his help, admitting that this is a threat they cannot win against. With a snap of his fingers Q returns the ship to Federation space and vanishes.
Afterwards, Picard and Guinan discuss the incident. Picard notes that perhaps Q's visit gave their complacency a well deserved shaking. Guinan points out that whilst they might be able to establish some form of relationship with the Borg in time, for now it is hopeless, before adding the chilling warning that for now they truly are relentless, and so will be on their way to the Federation.
A great episode in most respects, this is of course a giant landmark for Star Trek in that it introduced the nastiest and longest running bad guys ever, the Borg.
Most everything is handled well. The mood is lighthearted at first, with Gomez's slapstick routine. She's a great character who really differentiates herself from the average "yes sir" background character by getting a few opinions and attitudes of her own - I love she says "please" and "thank you" to replicators!
Then Q shows up, and this time he's a good deal more gritty, more sinister. He's always been played to high camp before, and whilst his powers obviously make him dangerous, he's never really felt all that dangerous to me because he comes across as a buffoon. This time, he doesn't feel that way. He's serious, threatening, dangerous, and it helps the episode immensely.
Meeting the Borg is great, too. Their ship is unique, with an industrial, menacing look and feel to it. The encounter with the drones is great - the first one is killed and you think "well that was easy", but then the next one arrives with shields and it's "oh...." And the way they act, totally disinterested in the people, as if they were... well, irrelevant.
You get the same thing with the ship. At first, it seems easy to defeat. A few phaser strikes, done. Then, we find that it's repairing itself... and this time, weapons do nothing. Q's summation of the Borg is chilling indeed, as is his obvious glee at what is about to happen. What's especially great is that there's no last minute technobabble, no sudden escape through a wormhole or whatever... Picard simply admits defeat and begs for help.
To cap it all, the ending, with Guinan's warning that even Q's intervention is only a reprieve, that the Borg are still coming... spooky. TNG dropped a few things like this into the mix and never followed up on some of them, but you certainly can't say they didn't capitalise on the Borg!
On to the bad, then. Mostly it centers on Guinan. First off, they arrive there in an area she knows is Borg infested... she is specifically asked what might be around and her only comment is "if I were you I would head back now." Huh?! How about "well there's a massively powerful race of cybernetic psychopaths here, so run like hell!" But noooo, she waits until after they have run into them and Borg have come aboard before giving them any detail. Thanks a lot, Guinan.
Second nit, Worf is a terrible shot. Picard orders him to target the tractor beam, and on a ship that is (at least according to a later episode) two miles wide, his first hit misses it by literally a mile. His second misses it by about half a mile. His third manages to hit the source of the beam itself, knocking it out. Nice one. What's interesting is that if they had fired, oh, maybe ten more shots at that point, there wouldn't have been a whole lot left of that Borg cube. Not really a complaint, as it is in line with the Federation's "minimum force" ethos, but they had already seen what happened with the drones after all, one might suggest that it was foreseeable that it would happen with the ship.
Still and all, a great episode.
