The LCA 2015 team is honoured to announce our first Keynote speaker - Professor Eben Moglen, Executive Director of the Software Freedom Law Center and professor of Law and Legal History at Columbia University Law School.
Professor Moglen's presentation is scheduled for 09:00 am Tuesday, 13 January 2015
Professor Moglen has represented many of the world's leading free software developers. He earned his PhD in History and his law degree at Yale University during what he sometimes calls his "long, dark period" in New Haven.
After law school he clerked for Judge Edward Weinfeld of the United States District Court in New York City and for Justice Thurgood Marshall of the United States Supreme Court. He has taught at Columbia Law School since 1987 and has held visiting appointments at Harvard University, Tel Aviv University and the University of Virginia.
In 2003 he was given the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Pioneer Award for efforts on behalf of freedom in the electronic society.
We are especially grateful to Michael Davies for his efforts in bringing Professor Moglen to LCA 2015 in Auckland for us - thank you Michael!

Call for Presentations for Clouds, Containers, and Orchestration Miniconf
Submitted on 2014-11-03 06:11
"Software defined everything," DevOps, and cloud are driving open source further and faster than we might have imagined possible just a decade ago. Most recently, Docker containers and orchestration have opened up all kinds of new opportunities to develop, deploy, and manage software from the developer's desktop well into production.
Call for Presentations
The miniconf will focus on the open source tools and best practices for working with cloud tools, containers, and orchestration software (e.g., Kubernetes, Apache Mesos, and others). We want the leading developers working on those tools, as well as users who are deploying them in real production environments to share their knowledge and show where tools will be going in 2015.
We welcome talks on container security, creating complex applications in the cloud, working with open source Platforms-as-a-Service, container orchestration, packaging applications in containers, single-purpose operating systems, and presentations on the state and future of these applications from their developers.
Presentations should be useful to practitioners, and technical in nature. Talks should not be promotional in nature.
Format for Presentations
As we only have one day, presentation slots will be shorter than many speakers may be used to. Most talks will be 20 minutes, with the possibility for one or two longer slots for exceptionally interesting and involved topics.
Please indicate which type of presentation you're seeking:
- 20 minute full presentation.
- 10 minute "case study" or "state of project" presentation.
- 40 minute double-length presentation.
Submitting Talks
Please see the Submission Template and submit your proposal to miniconf [at] dissociatedpress.net. Please include [LCA15 CFP] and talk title in your subject line. (For example: [LCA15 CFP] Whiz-Bang Container Wrangling with Docker and Acme Widgets.)
Note: In order to present at the miniconf, you must be registered for the main Linux.conf.au conference, and presenting at the miniconf does not entitle speakers to registration at the main conference, or any travel sponsorship.
Important Dates

- 2014-11-20 Early submissions confirmation
- 2014-11-25 Deadline for all submissions
- 2014-12-1 Confirmation for submissions

Code of Conduct
The Clouds, Containers, and Orchestration Miniconf follows the Linux.conf.au Code of Conduct and values statement. Please do read the full Code of Conduct and Values Statement, but the bottom line is that Linux.conf.au is meant to be an event for a diverse community. Anyone – regardless of age, race, gender identity or expression, background, disability, appearance, sexuality, walk of life, or religion – should be able to attend, learn from and be inspired by other people in the Free and Open Source community.

My friend has gotten sexually assaulted online via AIM by this boy from our school. He has sent her graphic IMs, videos, etc. Once he asked her for a picture and she gave him one since she was scared.
Now that I know the story I am trying to convince her to report him to someone but she won't listen. She's told her parents about a few of the less sexual IMs but they don't know about the video when he undressed and well...
Girls at our school have gotten expelled for doing such things and so have guys. Is there any way to report this boy without getting my friend expelled?
It must be really tough for you to not be able to tell everything since you fear that your friend will get kicked out. I'm sorry that your friend has to suffer like this. But, it's now up to you to protect your friend from this boy who has harassed her. This is a really tough sitch, but you can def help your pal out.
Please tell a trusted teacher,and/or your parents the whole story. This may be tough but the boy who harassed your friend MUST be punished for what he did. Your friend will not get expelled if she didn't say or show anything sexual online. If anything, the boy who harassed her will get expelled.
When your friend tells her story, make sure she tells the whole truth. Also, get a trusted teacher or your parents to help you talk to your friend's parents about what really happend. She may be upsetbut in the end, she will be thankful that you helped her.
Online harrasment is against the law and your friend has a legal right to report this. A few years back, a young girl named Megan Mier was harassed on MySpace and was ridiculed. She later committed suicide because of this harrasment. Since you care about your friend, wouldn't you want her to be safe from people who want to hurt her online?
Since your pal is going through so much, suggest that she should talk to a trusted teacher, counselor and even open up to her parents. When she's able to talk out her fears and frustrations, she will be able to deal with this situation better. I wish you and your friend a lot of luck. I hope that your friend and you will pull through this horrible ordeal.

Howells unveils revolving tower
Glenn Howells Architects has submitted these proposals for the world's first revolving residential tower for planning.The Time Residences, in Dubai, will rely on solar power to turn the cylindrical structure, which is being billed as a new 'kinetic icon'. It will make a full 360-degree turn in seven days.The £40 million project will require £20 million extra for the rotational technology.According to the practice, the 'strong tower form' will be 'anchored by a 20m-high horizontal podium and crowned by an elegant crescent'.The 30-storey development will house 200 apartments, from one-bed flats to triplex penthouses with double-height spaces, internal infinity pools and state-of-the-art private cinemas.There are also plans for an outdoor pool and a 'moon lounge'.The practice's managing director Glenn Howells said: 'The [development] is an eco-friendly sustainable design, using solar power to revolve the cylindrical form and recycling water to irrigate the landscaped gardens.'Our designs for the unique segment-shaped apartments maximise external awareness and provide panoramic views for residents.'Construction of the tower is expected to begin in June with completion due in early 2009.by Richard Waite

Long-time InfoComm CEO and executive director Randal Lemke is stepping down at the end of 2012 after leading our growing association for the past 12-plus years.
We accomplished many things under Lemke's watch, most notably setting the standard for certification of A/V professionals with the creation of the Certified Technology Specialist (CTS). What was originally a mere online test became a highly regulated testing and education system that was followed up with higher levels of certification.
A few of our industry associations attempted to bring standards in education to life, but InfoComm was able to succeed.
Lemke had many other accomplishments. The growth of the industry alone has been tremendous. The annual InfoComm show and the expansion overseas partnering with Integrated Systems Europe (ISE). Lemke's contributions will be felt for years.
Like all things, Lemke's tenure must come to an end. After several months and plenty of candidates, David Labuskes is next up to sit in the big chair. I have never met Labuskes, but based on his resume, I'm certain he was a great choice.

Labuskes Makes Sense as InfoComm Executive Director

Lemke's Pre-Retirement InfoComm Bucket List
Lemke on Accomplishments, Retirement
Lemke to Retire as InfoComm Chief
But the task at hand is nothing short of daunting. Here's a look at some challenges Labuskes faces.
While InfoComm has been pretty outspoken about its success (profit) as an association, its continued contribution to the growth and success of the companies it serves is going to become more difficult. With external forces continuing to muddy the line between CIs, IT VARs, telecom providers, security integrators and a plethora of others, this industry needs to change more rapidly and more drastically than it has if it seeks to thrive in the new economy.
This means more focus on education that translates to convergence - a term the industry has spoken about for more than a decade but has seen slow progression.
Most CIs are way behind on networks. This can most obviously be seen by the limited access that customers give them when integrating network-enabled devices.
While basic and even slightly higher level courses are taught within the industry, the bar has been placed pretty low for true knowledge migration into the center of the communication world.

Gunman opts not to rob West Side market
The incident happened just after 8 p.m. at Jon O's Market, 600 Front St.
Police said the man pointed a gun at the 37-year-old clerk and demanded three packs of Newport cigarettes and all the cash in the till.
The clerk motioned towards the back and told the robber there was another employee in the store. The robber immediately fled the store, running in a southerly direction.
The gunman is described as a thin white man, about 19 years old, 5-foot-5 to 5-foot-6, and weighing 140 pounds. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, a black winter hat, black gloves, dark pants and had a yellow bandanna, with red designs on it, covering his face.
Employees believe he was in the store a couple of hours earlier asking about store hours.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call police at 668-8711. Anonymous tips for cash rewards may be made through Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040 or online at manchestercrimeline.org .

November 29, 2014
An accident Thursday in west Alabama killed a Choctaw County employee and critically injured another.
It happened around 10 a.m. on County Road 32 in Yantley. Officials say three employees were preparing to patch a pothole when an elderly motorist struck the back of their dump truck, pinning them underneath.
"Devastated! Devastated!" said District 2 county commissioner, C.D. Ruffin in reaction to the tragedy.
According to Commissioner Ruffin, the job would likely have taken only ten minutes to complete. The crew had been there about five minutes when the crash happened.
"It was just a horrible, horrible accident that happened," said Choctaw County Sheriff James Lovette.
Lovette said the Alabama Highway Patrol is handling the investigation, and as of Friday morning, no charges had been filed.
The worker who died is identified as 63-year-old Jerry Hudson. After working more than 20 years for the county, he retired three years ago and Commissioner Ruffin says he went on to work part-time with the county to help.
One of the workers sustained non-life threatening injuries. The other was critically hurt and is being treated for multiple injuries, including two broken legs.
The driver of the vehicle received minor injuries.
"We're going to have to look at this closely and make sure that we make every necessary step to keep our folks safe," Ruffin said.
Funeral arrangements for Hudson were not immediately available.

An apparatus is provided for continuously processing metal ribbon from ribbon spools of fixed capacity to form spools of processed ribbon. At a dispensing or wind-out reel a continuous metal ribbon is formed by alternately emptying spools from two different positions, joining the ribbon from alternately emptied spools, and replacing each empty spool with a full one while the other spool is being emptied. The continuous metal ribbon is provided to a processing station and, from there, is delivered to a collecting or wind-up reel where a pair of spools are alternately filled with processed ribbon and a full spool is replaced with an empty one while the other spool is being filled. A festoon tower provides a pair of elongated paths of independently variable travel length for ribbon moving, respectively, between the dispensing reel and processing station and between the processing station and collecting reel. This tower provides a continuous movement of ribbon to and from the processing station. One tower path normally stores a predetermined amount of the continuous ribbon and releases the stored ribbon to the processing station during transferring and spool-changing operations at the dispensing reel, thereby providing a supply of ribbon to the processing station during these operations. The other tower path stores ribbon from the processing station only during the transferring and spool-changing operation at the collecting reel and releases the stored ribbon to the collecting reel thereafter, thereby guaranteeing a continuous withdrawal of ribbon from the processing station during these operations.
1. Apparatus for automatically joining the beginning of a first spool of metal ribbon to the end of a second spool of metal ribbon which is being unwound and fed to a processing device without halting the passage of ribbon through said processing device, which apparatus comprises:
means for holding said first and second spools in rotatable relationship to one another;
at least one wind-up spool for receiving ribbon which has unwound from said second spool, and passed through said processing device;
means for clamping, severing and joining the beginning end of said first spool of ribbon to the severed end of said second spool of ribbon; and
a storage apparatus comprising:
a frame;
a first row of aligned freely rotatable rollers mounted in a fixed position on said frame, and a second row of aligned freely rotatable rollers mounted in a fixed position on said frame opposite said first row of rollers,
a first carriage having a first movable row of rotatable rollers mounted in alignment thereon, said first carriage being mounted between said first and second rows of fixed rollers for displacement relative thereto,
a second carriage having a second movable row of rotatable rollers mounted in alignment thereon, said second carriage being mounted between said first and second rows of fixed rollers for displacement relative thereto,
said ribbon from said second spool alternately passing over rollers of said second fixed row and said second movable row en route to said processing device and alternately passing over rollers of said first fixed row and said first movable row en route from said processing device to said wind-up spool,
said second movable row of rollers being spaced by a predetermined distance from said second fixed row of rollers when said second row is rotating and feeding ribbon through said processing stage, and
operating means for moving said movable rows of rollers, said second movable row of rollers being moved away from said second fixed row of rollers to create an elongated storage path between said movable and fixed rollers for said ribbon and allowing said processing device to operate on ribbon from said second reel while said wind-up reel is changed.
2. A system according to claim 1 wherein said first and second carriages are provided with separate driving means to effect displacement thereof.
3. A system according to claim 1 further including a wind-off reel for receiving said first and second spools, a wind-up reel for receiving said at least one wind-up spool, said wind-off and wind-up reels being mounted in alignment on a shelf structure defining a magazine for a plurality of spools, and a spool transport device adapted for movement along a path at least a portion of which extends between said reels, said transport device being capable of carrying spools between said reels and said magazine.
4.

5. A system according to claim 4 wherein said first and second carriages are provided with separate driving means to effect displacement thereof.
6. A system according to claim 4 wherein said containing means are spools, said dispensing and collecting means being multiple reels each including a plurality of spools and being mounted in alignment on a shelf structure defining a magazine for a plurality of spools, and a spool transport device adapted for movement along a path at least a portion of which extends between said reels, said transport device being capable of carrying spools between said reels and said magazine.
The invention relates to equipment for processing material in sheet form, especially metal ribbon, and particularly concerns such equipment which includes a dispensing or wind-off reel, a treating zone, a collecting or wind-up reel and a festoon or sling-tower connected in series either before or after the processing zone.
In equipment for treating paper or the like, for example rotary presses and coating machines, it is possible to change spools of material on the fly and thereby to avoid interrupting the process. However, the properties of other flat materials, especially metal ribbon, do not permit a run-down spool on conventional reels to be replaced by a new spool at the speed that the sheet or web has in the processing station of the equipment. Nor is it possible, with such materials, to remove the fully wound-up spool at the end of the equipment and immediately to commence winding-up onto a new spool the sheet or web coming out of the processing zone.
In order to avoid an interruption to the operation, it is well known in the art that a so-called sling tower may be provided at the beginning and at the end of such processing equipment. The sling tower is designed to take up a variable length of material in sheet form and thereby acts as buffer for a certain time. Typically, the capacity of the sling tower must be sufficiently great, so as to bridge the normal duration of an exchange of spools.
The known sling towers are space-consuming, which, since they are required in pairs, becomes disturbingly noticeable, especially when a rather compact construction of the processing equipment is aimed for.
For storing and exchanging spools of material, high-shelf systems have recently been successful. In such systems, large amounts of material can be accommodated on a minimum of floor surface and, preferably by using computer-controlled elevators, these systems enable spools to be transported in and out. It is necessary, however, that the spools in the delivery or receiving stations lie approximately in a vertical plane next to or over one another. At the same time, the shortest possible paths between wind-up and wind-off stations are to be provided, in order to reduce investment costs and access times. For this reason, processing equipment in which the two sling towers are next to one another, are unsatisfactory.
The invention accomplishes the object of providing processing equipment of the type mentioned above, which has a reduced space requirement and in which the wind-up and wind-off stations lie in a vertical plane in close proximity. By these means, the transport processes required for exchanging spools can be kept to a minimum. In particular, it is possible to wind off the ribbons from the high-shelf storage, and, after passing them through the processing equipment, to wind them up again in the high-shelf storage, without having to transport the coils of the material within the production area.
The inventive equipment is characterized by the fact that the sling tower has two rows of stationary guide rollers at opposite ends of a frame construction and two sling carriages, which can travel from one end to the other. Each carriage has a second series of rollers associated with the first series of rollers, whereby the rollers can alernatively be looped by the ribbon of material.
Further advantages and characteristics of the invention will be evident from the following description and the accompanying claims.
In the following, the invention is explained and represented by way of example by means of the drawing, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic side elevation of the inventive equipment;
FIG. 2 is a side view on an enlarged scale, of the double wind-off reel of the equipment of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a section, taken through the double wind-off reel of FIG. 2, showing it in detail as seen from above;
FIG. 4 is a schematic side elevation, on an enlarged scale, of the sling tower;
FIG. 5 is a side view, on an enlarged scale, of the double wind-up reel of the equipment of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 6 is a section, on an enlarged scale, taken through the double wind-up reel of FIG. 2, showing it in detail as seen from above.
FIG. 1 is considered first. This illustrates the construction and the method of operation of the inventive equipment.
A shelf elevator 1 transports a full spool 12 from a high-shelf magazine 2 to a first of two wind-off positions of a double wind-off reel 3 in the magazine, and places it on prism supports (not shown) which are fastened to the wall of the magazine. Two reel cones grip the spool and lift it out of the prism supports. By means of an auxiliary drive, the marked start of the spool ribbon is turned into a fixed position, so that a conventional drawing-in device (not shown) can pick up the start of the ribbon. After the steel tape around the spool has been cut, the drawing-in device transports the start of the ribbon and the steel tape to a driver 4. The steel tape is removed manually and the start of the ribbon is conveyed to cropping shears 5 by means of a driver and an auxiliary drive on the reel. The start of the ribbon is cropped here and conveyed to a jointing device 9. These procedures, which may be described as ribbon preparation, are carried out while the ribbon of the second wind-off position of the reel is running over a sling tower 6 (which must fulfill a double function), through processing equipment 7, and again over the previously mentioned sling tower 6 to the double wind-up reel 8.
On changing ribbons, the lower sling carriage 34 in sling tower 6 is lowered and delivers a stored supply of ribbon to the processing machine 7. In the meantime, the wind-off reel 3 stops and the jointing device 9 connects the previously prepared start of the ribbon with the end of the ribbon that has run off. After the start of the ribbon has been joined to the end of the run off ribbon, the ribbon of the first wind-off position of reel 3 is wound off and the empty winding spool is transported by the shelf elevator 1 from the second winding position into the high-shelf magazine 2. The shelf elevator 1 can now deposit a fresh full spool into the winding-off position, which has become vacant.
After the ribbon with the joint has passed through the equipment and has arrived at the double wind-up reel 8, the exchange of ribbon commences at the wind-up reel 8. This exchange of ribbons is operative through associated electrical or mechanical control apparatus to initiate the downward movement of upper sling carriage 37 in the sling tower 6 thus storing in the sling tower rollers the supply of ribbon coming from the processing machine 7 and from the wind-off reel 3. While the above-mentioned equipment can continue to run with undiminished speed, wind-up reel 8 stops. The ribbon is divided crosswise and the new start of the ribbon is wound onto the second wind-up position of the double wind-up reel 8 by means of driver 10 and belt looper 11. After ribbon exchange has been effected, upper sling carriage 37 again drives to its upper position and delivers the stored supply of ribbon to the winding-up device 8. Shortly before the ribbon exchange, lower sling carriage 34 drives to the wind-off reel 3, also in its upper position, and so stores a supply of ribbon for the next ribbon exchange.
A shelf elevator 1 in the meantime transports the finished wound spool from the wind-up position in reel 8 into the high-shelf magazine 2 and brings an empty wind-up spool to the position in the wind-up reel 8, which has become vacant, where it is gripped by means of the reel cones.
The above-mentioned double wind-off reel is shown in greater detail in FIGS. 2 and 3.
FIG. 2 is a front view and FIG. 3 a top view section through the reel. The side stands 21 (FIG. 2), which take up the gripping cones 22 (FIG. 3) and their guides 23 (FIG. 3) are a part of the support wall in the high-shelf magazine. A linear motor, a vacuum or magnetic beam with built-in nipple shears 24 (FIG. 2), cuts the tape around the spool and transports the start of the ribbon to the driver 25 (FIG. 2). The driver conveys the start of the ribbon into the ribbon-preparation station 26 (FIG. 2), which consists of a clamping beam, an adhesive-tape dispenser and cropping shears. The cropped end of the ribbon is passed over a scrap sewer 27 (FIG. 2) into a container. The start of the ribbon, which has been prepared for jointing with the end of the ribbon that is running down, is transported by driver 25 to the gluing press 28 (FIG. 2). The gluing press consists of a clamping beam, a pressing beam and cropping shears. The cropping shears cut through the end of the ribbon that is running down, whereby the clamping beam previously holds fast the end of the ribbon and the start of the ribbon press 28 (FIG. 2) is joined to the end of the ribbon. The spools that are running down are braked by a direct-current generator 29 (FIG. 3) which can be selectively switched from one wind-off position to the other. For purpose of repair, slidable bulkhead wall 30 (FIG. 3) closes off the reel space from the high-shelf magazine.
FIG. 4 shows the details of the sling tower, which is a significant component of the inventive equipment.
Sling towers (sometimes referred to as festooner arrangements) or ribbon stores are used today wherever ribbon processing machines must run continuously, even during ribbon exchange.
Contrary to conventional construction, the sling tower, shown in FIG. 4 has two sling carriage instead of one and is therefore particularly suitable for assembly in processing equipment constructed in tiers.
The sling tower consists of a frame construction 31, and a row of stationary guide rollers 32 which are connected via the ribbon material with the rollers 33 of the lower sling carriage 34. In the upper portion of the sling tower, a number of statinary guide rollers 35 are connected via the material ribbon with rollers 36 of the upper sling carriage 37.
The ribbon, coming from the wind-off reel, runs into the sling tower, passes through the sling tower, whereby the guide rollers 32 and 33 are alternately looped, and leaves the tower at the last guide roller 32, whereupon the ribbon-processing operation follows.
As the ribbon is being exchanged at the wind-off reel, the sling carriage 34 with guide rollers 33 moves downwards and transfers the stored supply of ribbon to the subsequent ribbon-processing equipment. The rise and fall of the sling carriage is effected by a chain drive 38, which is driven by a conventional direct-current motor (not shown), whereby the transport of ribbon material at a constant rate is controlled by a guide roller 35 that is fashioned as a traction dynamometer roller.
During a subsequent exchange of ribbon at the winding-up reel or during an inspection of the ribbon, upper sling carriage 37 with guide rollers 36 moves downward and stores ribbon coming from the ribbon processing equipment. After the exchange of ribbon at the wind-up reel has been concluded or the inspection has been carried out, sling carriage 37 again drives to the starting position and transfers the supply of ribbon, so stored, to the wind-up reel. Sling carriage 37 is transported over a separate chain drive with direct-current drive, for which one guide roller 35 is fashioned as a traction dynamometer roller. Shortly before the next ribbon exchange takes place at the wind-off reel tower sling carriage 34 drives back to its starting position and stores a supply of ribbon for the next ribbon exchange.
FIGS. 5 and 6 show details of the double wind-up reel of the inventive equipment.
FIG. 5 represents the front view and FIG. 6 a top view section through the reel. The side stands 41 (FIG. 5), which take up the gripping cones 42 (FIG. 6) and their guides 43 (FIG. 6), are a part of the support wall in the high-shelf magazine. The reel is driven by a direct-current motor 44 (FIG. 6), which can be connected selectively to one or the other of the wind-up spindles. A ribbon-exchange carriage 45 (FIG. 5) belongs to the wind-up reel. This carriage can drive hydraulically from one wind-up position to the other and is guided by guide rails (FIG. 5) on the side stand. Two sets of drivers 47 (FIG. 5), one pair of cropping shears 48 and a belt looper 49, are mounted in the ribbon exchange carriage. The cropping shears and the belt looper are hydraulically activated, the drive rollers are driven by a conventional three-phase geared motor. During normal winding operation, the drive rollers 47 serve as guide rollers. During ribbon exchange, the ribbon exchange carriage 45 drives into position, the drive rollers 47 which are equipped with a flyback suppressor (not shown) clamp the ribbon and the cropping shears 48 cut off the end of the ribbon. The cut off end of the ribbon is wound onto the spool that has already been wound up and glued to the spool by means of back-up roller 50 (FIG. 5) with adhesive-tape dispenser.
The belt looper 49 swings out and loops around the empty wind-up casing. The drive rollers 47 then push the start of the ribbon over the trap-door lock 51 towards the belt looper 49. After the wind-up casing has been lopoped with a few windings of ribbon material, the belt looper opens up and swings out of the area of winding. The drive rollers 47 open up and the ribbon exchange-carriage 45 drives into its waiting position between the two winding positions.
Although a specific embodiment of the invention has been disclosed for illustrative purposes, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that many additions, modifications and substitutions are possible without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as defined in the accompanying claims.

Together, the four boys find ways to cheat the system and indulge themselves without getting caught. Somehow they all manage to lose weight despite their candy bar binges and stolen cheese sandwiches from the camp kitchen.The real trouble starts when Ned realizes he wants to lose weight, but it's not going to be easy with Grandma always cooking up her delicious, fattening meals and confections. But when there's a will, there's a way.May have been the inspiration for the 1995 film Heavyweights.
