Each "partition" of the program, running on one machine, communicates with the others by means of remote procedure calls and shared data structures. Ada provides facilities to make this communication completely transparent to the programmer. Thanks to it, writing a distributed program is no more complex than writing a monolithic one. Indeed, it is possible to recompile a distributed program to make it either distributed or monolithic with no changes to the program source. There are two Free Software implementations of Annex E for GNAT, the GNU Ada compiler: GLADE and its successor PolyORB, both licensed under terms of the GPL.

The Debian Project is an association of individuals who have made common cause to create a free operating system. The development processes are open to the public and anyone can contribute. The strict Debian Free Software Guidelines are the basis of the Open Source Definition. The resulting operating system consists of tens of thousands of Free Software packages and is renowned for its reliability, thanks to Debian's extensive quality assurance policy. Debian GNU/Linux supports 12 hardware architectures and 4 more are in various stages of development. Debian GNU/Hurd, Debian GNU/NetBSD and Debian GNU/kFreeBSD are works in progress. Several other distributions use Debian as their foundation.

This means that just stopping clocks isn't enough to save enough power to obtain the desired device use times. We need to shut off inactive parts of the ASIC depending on the actual usage. Eg. turn off the camera functionality or the GPU when not in use. We call this dynamic power switching (DPS). This talk will show how TI, Nokia and the community implemented DPS in the linux kernel. We will also discuss other power saving features of OMAP3 and how they are used in the linux kernel.

We will show aspects of the Linux OS running and focus on the OSGi service layer and how Java applications can easily be written to work with custom hardware devices. BUG is an open source hardware and software gadget creation platform. There are no proprietary or closed software components running on the BUG CPU. New devices can be created by snapping a variety of hardware modules (camera, motion sensor, GPS, LCD Touchscreen, WiFi, 3g, etc.) onto a small Linux base computer to make things like GPS enabled motion detectors, alarms, crowdsourced input devices, and wireless weather stations. The hardware schematics for the device are GPL and the computer runs Linux, FOSS Java, and OSGi to enable a dynamic service runtime. An SDK is available that's based on Eclipse and we have a application collaboration website based on Ruby on Rails.

It parses configuration files in their native formats and transforms them into a tree. Configuration changes are made by manipulating this tree and saving it back into native config files. One of the many things that makes Linux configuration management the minefield we all love is the lack of a local configuration API. The main culprit for this situation, that configuration data is generally stored in text files in a wide variety of formats, is both an important part of the Linux culture and valuable when humans need to make configuration changes manually. AUGEAS provides a local configuration API that presents configuration data as a tree. The tree is backed directly by the various config files as they exist today; modifications to the tree correspond directly to changes in the underlying files. AUGEAS takes great care to preserve comments and other formatting details across editing operations. The transformation from files into the tree and back is controlled by a description of the file's format, consisting of regular expressions and instructions on how to map matches into the tree. AUGEAS currently can be used through a command line tool, the C API, and from Ruby, Python, and OCaml. It also comes with descriptions for a good number of common Linux config files that can be edited "out-of-the-box."

The presentation will discuss the new distro constructor being released with OpenSolaris 11.2008 and demonstrate on how to use it. The Distribution Constructor project is building a set of GUI and command-line tools allowing users to build an install image from a package repository. The distribution constructor tools accept input from the user and process a set of repository packages into one or more media images which can be utilized to install an OpenSolaris distribution. The Distribution Constructor package is available in the pkg.opensolaris.org repository as of build 99, its name is SUNWdistro-const. Some basic documentation is available. The OpenSolaris 2008.11 distribution is built using this tool beginning with the build 98 ISO images. A future phase of the project will add the ability to generate an installable distribution using an existing installed system as its input, rather than a set of packages in a repository. This would be either an enhancement to, or replacement for, the existing Flash Installation functionality. Key Requirements and Functionality (2008.11 Release) * A command-line interface to run the construction process * A manifest file format consumed by the constructor * Modifications to the Target Instantiation module built in Dwarf Caiman and Slim Install to create the file system structure needed for building thedistribution * Modifications to the Transfer module to support installing a set of IPS packages * A plug-in interface that the user or other projects can use to perform their image-specific customizations * Checkpointing interfaces which allow a build to be debugged, and restarted * A module for constructing a boot archive usable on installable media * Support for localization of the image produced * An installable package containing the distro constructor PUBLIC CONFIRMED Lecture http://fosdem.org/2009/schedule//2009/schedule/events/caiman_opensolaris_distribution_constructor Ferrer Stefan Schneider PUBLISH 739@FOSDEM2009@pentabarf.org 739 emb_ptxdist Building Embedded Linux Systems with PTXdist English en 2009-02-07 17:00:00 +0000 2009-02-07 18:30:00 +0000 20090207T170000 20090207T183000 1H Building Embedded Linux Systems with PTXdist PTXdist is a "make your own distribution" build system, based on Bash, Kconfig and GNU Make.

Most deployments of Linux systems are very rarely just one or two systems. Once you get past just installing Linux on your home system or your workstation it is time to think about how you are going to manage installing, and if required re-installing, these groups of systems in a repeatable manner. This is where Cobbler and Koan come in. Cobbler is a next generation systems management tool designed to keep a track of not just your systems but the initial system deployment configuration, host networking and even the configuration management. Koan provides the same facilities in the new world of systemvirtualization. During this talk we aim to demonstrate just how easy Cobbler and Koan make keeping track of your Linux deployments and configurations.

Unfortunately, while Objective-C is a fantastic language, the development tools provided by Apple are designed to lock developers into a closed Apple-only environment. GNUstep provides an alternative, free implementation of the OpenStep specification (the core Objective-C libraries), largely compatible with the Apple Mac OS X Cocoa implementation, and a number of tools that allow Objective-C software to be developed and easily distributed across a number of platforms, including GNU/Linux, *BSD, Apple Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.

A number of standards and certification procedures have been defined to assess the reliability of those products. Linux and open-source software (OSS) are attractive components to use in embedded systems. While some reliability information is available from enterprise systems research, certifiability of OSS in a particular industry is a major project risk. In this presentation, we share our experience in the development and certification of Linux-based fire safety systems.

DotProjects is developing a new website for Cultuurnet Vlaanderen. This website allows users to browse all kinds of events happening in Belgium. All event data is not managed in Drupal but is managed in Cultuurnet's own system and access to this data is provided by their REST API. This event data, which is "hosted" on their API is enriched with comments, ratings, YouTube video's, Press releases, ... in Drupal. To make this possible, all events need to exist in Drupal as nodes. For this we developed an offline synchronisation method and a real time synchronisation method where nodes for events are only created as soon as their node page is accessed. For each event the system also tries to look for a YouTube video, Flickr image, Wikipedia entry. This all happens automatically without any user interaction. For this a custom Drupal module was developed (Service Attachments) which allows to automatically look for content on APIs for each node. With a high focus on these two problems, we'll explain the process of implementing this website in Drupal.

Grip can be easily installed using standard Debian-Installer images or debootstrap and allows for easy mixing of Debian and Grip packages. Grip supports seven architectures using the existing Debian ports: arm, armel, i386, amd64 (test architecture), mips, mipsel and powerpc. Version 1.0 is primarily for developers but is roughly equivalent to Debian in terms of usability and maintenance. Emdebian 1.0 Grip includes packages for a typical XFCE desktop installation. Typical Grip installations are between 25 and 40% smaller than the equivalent Debian installation. This talk covers all the essential features of Grip and will (hopefully) include a demo of using the Debian Installer from Lenny to install Emdebian 1.0 Grip on an Acer Aspire1 netbook. == Emdebian 1.0 Crush - a cross-built tiny Debian developer release == Crush is only available for ARM and consists of a limited package set based around the GNOME Palmtop Environment. Crush installation methods are machine-specific (with support from packages in Debian Lenny) and Crush does not include any kernels. Version 1.0 is only for developers and is significantly more difficult to prepare, install and maintain than either Debian or Emdebian Grip but provides a much smaller installation. Basic root filesystems of 24Mb installed, full GPE GUI installations within 75Mb. This talk covers the limitations of Crush, the practical difficulties inherent in cross-building Debian using packages from Lenny and the improvements being implemented into the next release of Debian (Squeeze) that will make it easier to add support for more architectures for Emdebian Crush 2.0 (based on Debian 6.0 "Squeeze").

Freedom, openness and participation have become a pervasive part of digital life. 250 million people use Firefox. Wikipedia reaches people in 260 languages. Whole countries have Linux in their schools. Flickr hosts millions of openly licenses photos. Apache underpins the Internet. We have moved mountains. At the same time, the terrain has shifted. Our digital world has moved into the cloud. And, our window into this world is just as often unhackable phones in our pocket as it is flexible computers on our desktop. Hundreds of millions of people take being digital for granted, and rarely stop to think what it means. The world where free and open source software were born is not the same as the world they have helped to build. It's time to ask: what do freedom, openness and participation look like 10 years from now? How do we promote these values into the future? Building the open web and hackability into the world of mobile is part of the answer. Promoting privacy, portability and user control in the cloud are also critical. But what else? Mark Surman will reflect on these questions and chat with the FOSDEM crowd.

But no games company will replace their entire technology with an open source engine, just to utilise one component. Consequently, the only open source technology generally used in professional games are those that come as individual libraries - like Lua, or ODE. In his talk, Steven covers the reason for why monolithic architectures are no good for games development, how to avoid them, and the alternatives - at both a technical and man management level. He covers the principles behind creating interfaces and loosely-couple modules to ensure flexibility, and how to introduce new modules and platforms into the mix. Distinctions are also made between commonly-confused terms such as "engine", "drivers", "domains", "platforms" and "libraries." Finally, an overview of the practical solutions are given, using the SGX Engine as a example covering audio, graphics, input, and scripting. SGX is a 3D graphics engine, based around of series of null drivers and loosely-coupled modules to facilitate an infinitely upgradable engine. It is primarily suited to games and digital TV backdrops, and runs under Windows and Linux, using OpenGL. It is also one of the few Open Source engines to be used in commercial products.

Debian is known for being developed from its userbase. The individuals mutually trust each other, implemented mechanisms for peer review and have the technical support for authorisation and authentication. This way, the workload to provide the software packages for the compute infrastructure is shouldered by many individuals. Grid computing takes this collaboration further. Here, research groups offer access to their local resources not only to other research groups, but they may even grant the right to admit users to virtual organisations - much like the Debian keyring. The presentation presents an overview on current grid middleware and computational grids established. The Globus grid middleware and its Debian packaging are explained, together with the packages of the Advanced Resource Connector (ARC). Today, the most usecases of the technology are the sharing of the computational resources like plain compute power or storage. With the advent of these packages in the Debian main distribution, the adoption of these packages is expected to become more of a commodity to exchange computational workflows, share the burden to maintain rapidly changing data, or control the limited access to special hardware. The speakers are researchers at the Universities of Copenhagen, Lübeck and Uppsala. With funds from several national and international projects in high-energy physics or grid computing, the three are contributing to the development of the ARC grid middleware - and for the provisioning of its Debian packages.

It is composed of a declarative language for expressing system configuration, a client and server for distributing it, and a library for realizing the configuration. The primary design goal of Puppet is that it have an expressive enough language backed by a powerful enough library that you can write your own server automation applications in just a few lines of code. With Puppet, you can express the configuration of your entire network in one program capable of realizing the configuration. The fact that Puppet has open source combined with how easily it can be extended means that you can add whatever functionality you think is missing and then contribute it back to the main project if you desire.

This is different from the page rendering performance, which is just the time it takes to generate the HTML. Drupal already tackles several issues pretty well. But there's more we can do! You can solve several additional problems today, just by installing extra modules (such as Support file Cache), by configuring Apache (e.g. gzipped output), or by configuring some shell scripts (e.g. to optimize image files). I'll explain you how to apply these solutions. For most Drupal sites, CDN integration and putting JS at the bottom of the page have the biggest impact.

Contrary to early websystems it does not make use of forum-threads (avoiding their many problems), but of tags and links that can also be added to articles by others than the original author. The talk will be on several topics; On LogiLogi.org, a webplatform for philosophers written in Rails and on the LogiLogi Foundation which thinks Web-Applications should be Free Software too, that is Affero GPLed, if Free Software is to have a future on the Brave New Web. That is we should think beyond Stallman's: one should not rely on another’s machine to “do calculations with ones data”. Also by the end of january we will have extracted and released some gems and Rails plugins, one for creating Spam-free forms without captchas (in this way http://nedbatchelder.com/text/stopbots.html) and yet another solution for the rounded corners problem (and scaling and resizing SVG back-ground images in general) using javascript and RMagick. We might at the end shortly demonstrate these too if the audience wishes. LogiLogi is a fully RESTfull Rails-app, which is Free Software.

Marionnet is a virtual network laboratory: it allows users to define, configure and run complex computer networks without any need for physical setup. Only a single, possibly even non-networked GNU/Linux host machine is required to simulate a whole Ethernet network complete with computers, routers, hubs, switches, cables, and more. Support is also provided for integrating the virtual network with the physical host network. As Marionnet is meant to be used also by inexperienced people, it features a very intuitive graphical user interface. Marionnet is written in the mostly functional language OCaml and depends on User Mode Linux and VDE for the simulation part.

MediaWiki was born in 2002, when Wikipedia's editing activity outgrew the concurrency limits of its original wiki engine. The first 6 years of this open-source wiki platform's development were largely devoted to scaling and performance, ensuring that the world's most editable online encyclopedia could keep up with the number of articles, visitors, and changes that come with being an insanely popular user-written site. But the user interface hasn't changed much since 2003; if anything, packing in more features has made many aspects of the wiki harder to use over time. In 2009, MediaWiki developers are turning their eye towards usability and design issues. As with the scaling problems we've tackled before, we have to be able to target anything from a tiny personal or intranet wiki to the massive Wikipedia sites, making a range of different use cases with different needs... It'll be fun!

It works similar to the systems employed by sourceforge.net, mozilla.com or similar large organizations, which face a number of download requests which is too high to be practically handled by a single site. To find a mirror close to the client, the redirector "geolocates" the client by its IP address. If several mirrors are found to be suitable, the redirector load-balances requests to the mirrors based on their capabilities.

Zabbix, Zenoss and Hyperic are probably the most famous ones but other more specialized ones exist. Last year we evaluated these Monitoring solutions and presented our findings at OLS.

The problem: A client has a live site with 1000's of pages, 10's of blocks containing rather static information. There is almost no user interaction except for a few webforms to collect some user information (contact, request for documentation, etc..) While the site is live, the client wish to prepare for the next iteration of the website. The new version will contain altered, new and deleted nodes and blocks. There is a workflow to allow approving all the changes by the end-redaction. While the old site is unaltered they wish to have a live-preview of what the new website will look like. a Solution? Can Drupal handle this out-of-the-box? An initial guess would be to define a some states using the workflow module and handle revisions using the revision_deletion and revision_moderation modules. But that doesn't help when you want to test drive the site as anonymous visitor. How DID we do it? A small set of bash scripts and drupal modules did the trick. We'd be honoured to explain those and be cross-fired with questions!

In essence, the MySQL plugin API provides a generic extension point to the MySQL server. It allows users to load a shared library into the server to extend its functionality. A key feature is that this process is completely dynamic - the server need not be re-compiled and need not be stopped in order to benefit from the functionality of a new plugin. Hence, new functionality can be added without suffering any downtime. This session provides an overview of the plugin architecture. The different plugin types will be described. Then, the process of creating your own plugins will be described. This will be illustrated with code examples.

In order to ensure maximum data safety most of the program is written in Ada with heavy use of Annex E, the Distributed Systems Annex. Software engineers and physicists from several countries use this system for fundamental research. The talk will present the NARVAL architecture in detail with some focus on the multi-tasking dataflow core and the configuration done through Annex E.

But as open source increasingly becomes a foundation for core functionality used both in non-commercial as well as commercial ways the call for more liberal licenses is getting louder. GPL with classpath exception, LGPL, BSD, Apache, Eclipse, and others allow adopters to build upon the open source code in proprietary ways - violating the true spirit of free software but giving developers more freedoms to chose the best approach for their project or product. This session aims to be a free-flowing discussion on the question whether pure GPL without any exceptions is still up to date with the changes occurring the software industry.

The current choice is between Google, Nokia and Intel. Hackable1 intends to close this gap and offers desktop developers a quick start in minutes. No longer "fighting" with scratchbox or Openembedded: mobile development like on your desktop and with similar speed. If you have been developing for the desktop you will feel at home in no time. Hackable1 is based on Debian thus brings the power of 1500 DDs with it. It implements the GNOME Mobile stack and comes with a basic suite of phone applications: a dialer, a SMS and contacts application. Mobile devices are becoming ubiquitous and hackable1 is intended to bridge from desktop development to embedded development. It is an area where Open Source has a chance to be from the start ahead of the closed source competitors. We just need to do it! hackable:1 is a Debian based community distribution for hackable devices implementing the GNOME Mobile stack. Currently it runs on the Neo Freerunner from Openmoko but other devices will be supported soon too. As I have been developing myself on and for mobile platforms for several years now the main goal was to bring mobile development to all open source developers in minutes: mobile devices are the next "revolution" in computing and we should not leave the field to Google and Co. Hackable:1 comes with the full development environment, can be installed in minutes and provides an environment like on your desktop and allows for similar speeds. Bearstech (the french distributor of the openmoko phones) supports the development but a key point is community involvement - no decisions behind closed doors, everything is done in public on IRC and mailing lists.

This is a highly controversial purpose. However, when you start a new project it can be important to know what are the advantages of these two great languages. In this talk, we will present their differences. Java is a well-established and well-known language. In opposite, Ruby is a rising star which is not mastered by everybody yet. When you start to develop a new project you have to make a language choice. It is not always easy to choose between learning an exciting new language or relying on a popular highly-used one. In this talk, I will discuss the pros and cons of Ruby and Java, what are the best trade-offs for your application and what are the performance differences. I will show that it is not that complicated to learn Ruby coming from Java. From a business point of view, I will also explain why a good language choice can help you saving money. Here is a brief talk summary : * Ruby vs. Java syntax * Interpreted or compiled languages * Dynamic typing * Metaprogramation * Language related philosophies * Performance comparison We will also have a quick peek at JRuby, the Ruby interpreter build upon JVM.

Today's software landscape resembles increasingly a tower of Babel: Systems are built using many different languages, combining server-side and client-side languages, scripting and systems programming languages, general and domain specific languages, all glued together with a hefty amount of XML. The advantage of this approach is that each individual language can be tailored to a specific application domain. Its disadvantage is that the necessary amount of cross-language glue can make applications cumbersome to write, deploy, and maintain. An alternative is offered by scalable languages, which can be used for many different applications, ranging from small scripts to very large systems. An important aspect of a scalable language is that it itself is extensible and malleable. It should be possible to define very high-level libraries in it, which act in effect as specialized domain specific languages. The advantages of this approach is that it leads to more regular system designs, gives better static checking, makes applications easier to deploy, and increases their reliability. In this talk I'll describe the design principles of the Scala programming language, which has scalability as its primary design objective. Scala combines lightweight syntax with strong static checking on a Java-compatible platform. It encourages the embedding of domain-specific languages as high-level libraries. I discuss how Scala affects systems design and discuss its suitability for large scale industrial deployment.

This method isn't very flexible, so access rights are either given for larger groups of people or the administrator is tearing out his hair because he is lost in a maze of user, file and directory structures, which make working more than complex, but don't make the system more secure. Enter SELinux, a security infrastructure which is integrated into the kernel and promises to make securing your system more flexible. SELinux is a security framework which is included in the kernel of the Linux operating system. Under SELinux files don't only have the normal access rights or ACLs, but also have a context. You as a user or a program have to be able to use that context to get access - even if normal access rights would allow you to change the file.

This is bad news for citizens and has a devastating effect journalists and bloggers who need to protect their sources, especially whistleblowers. The Small Sister Project created a tool, SmallMail. It adds anonimity to e-mail even when data retention is in effect. So SmallMail delivers e-mail privacy as it was meant to be: you decide what happens with your data. When needed and allowed people can deliver a message totally anonymous. The talk highlights the tools and then deals with the technical details of getting from A to B. Privacy and anonymity are complicated, but the tool is not. We build on the strong foundation laid by the Tor Project. The SmallMail engine is technically interesting, but quite easy to understand. In 15 minutes you can learn how simplicity and free software solve the problems posed by complex systems. The Small Sister Project tries to create a digital environment for all users to have a privacy-friendly system where personal data is properly secured So we try to create: * A toolkit that is very simple to install and acts like a flushot for a computer to add privacy/security * Sufficient information for people to empower themselves to secure systems and are aware of privacy-issues * Software that is the missing glue for what already exists and helps us reach our goals PUBLIC CONFIRMED Lecture http://fosdem.org/2009/schedule//2009/schedule/events/small_sister Ferrer Peter Roozemaal PUBLISH 740@FOSDEM2009@pentabarf.org 740 emb_solar_control Solar Control with 1-wire Open Hardware English en 2009-02-08 10:00:00 +0000 2009-02-08 11:00:00 +0000 20090208T100000 20090208T110000 1H Solar Control with 1-wire Open Hardware Solar hot water systems in particular, and home control in general, provide excellent opportunities for fun geeking. Conventional control is done with various boxes, each of which is very stupid. Everything is proprietary and mostly incompatible with other manufacturers. Wookey decided that a better solution was one smart controller using open technologies, which could do cool stuff like on-line energy logging. He will explain enough about plumbing that the rest of the talk makes sense, then cover the practicalities of the necessary mix of IO: (I2C, 1-wire, digital IO, switching, displays), Software (logging, control scripting, user feedback) and Hardware (Balloonboard+IO). When he's finished you should have enough knowledge to go away and put together your own versatile controller (and solar system), and have an appreciation of the potential of this technology, as well as what work is still needded to make it accessible beyond the world of embedded Linux engineers.

Keith Bergelt will talk about how the open source community is leading the charge in market-based patent reform. Its Linux Defenders program offers the Linux and broader open source community a unique opportunity to harness its collaborative passion, intelligence, and ingenuity to ensure Linux’s natural migration to mobile devices and computing. He will also detail how this landmark program will benefit open source innovation by significantly reducing the number of poor quality patents that might otherwise be used by patent trolls or strategics whose behaviors and business models are antithetical to true innovation and are thus threatened by Linux. The Linux Defenders website is located at http://www.linuxdefenders.org. Co-sponsored by the Software Freedom Law Center and the Linux Foundation, Linux Defenders is a first-of-its-kind program which aims to reduce future intellectual property concerns about meritless patents for the Linux and open source community. The program is designed to accomplish this by soliciting prior art to enable the rejection of poor quality patent applications; soliciting prior art to enable the invalidation of poor quality issued patents; and soliciting high quality inventions that can be prepared as patent applications or defensive publications.

One will learn how to contribute to the project; an overview of the revision control system used will be given. Some remarks on the future of the patch will be made: will it be shipped with Mailman itself? If you have used Mailman, both as a subscriber and as a list admin, and if you know what PGP and S/MIME are, you should definitely attend this talk. he Secure List Server, mailman-pgp-smime, is an effort to add support for encryption and authentication to Mailman, the GNU mailing list software. This enhancement enables groups of people to safely cooperate and communicate using email. The patch includes support for both RFC 2633 (S/MIME) and RFC 2440 (OpenPGP) email messages. Development of the patch is made possible by the NLnet foundation. A post to a secure list will be distributed only if the PGP (or S/MIME) signature on the post is from one of the list members. For sending encrypted email, a list member encrypts to the public key of the list. The post will be decrypted and re-encrypted to the public keys of all list members.

This talk is intended to give open source hackers an update on where Thunderbird is in its runup to the Thunderbird 3 release, what new systems are available for add-on developers, and how to get involved if you want to help fix email. In the first part, David Ascher, one of the drivers of Thunderbird 3, will give an overview of the important changes that have either already landed, or are in various stages of development. These include: * a whole slew of platform-level updates which fall out of the Gecko platform development. * a new SQLite & JavaScript-powered database of all of your emails, which lets you build powerful new ways of reading & processing mail * a set of optimizations that make the day-to-day interactions with Thunderbird much faster, thanks to moving blocking operations to background threads * new views on email, including google-style search results, conversation views, canvas-based visualizations, and more. In the second part Ludovic Hirlimann, QA lead for Thunderbird, will explain how you can involve yourself into fixing email: * Joining the QA effort - where bugs need to be reported, triaged, tests written and run. * Joining our marketing effort and help the rebirth of thunderbird (spreadthunderbird) * Proposing patches and helping the development team. * Translating thunderbird: how to help make Thunderbird rock in your language. * Developing extensions to build the tb ecosystem.

"He who is good with a hammer thinks the world is a nail". While a wiki is a great tool, it is not optimal in many situations. For some things, forums, issue trackers, blogs, etc. are better. That's why there are hundreds of Content Management Systems (CMS) out there. However, many CMS systems are focused on classic publishing, rather than community and collaboration. In TikiWiki, the wiki way is found throughout the application. For example, the wiki syntax works in the forums, and in structured data trackers. Major features of TikiWiki include news articles, forums, newsletters, blogs, a file/image gallery, structured data trackers, translation, polls, calendar, Mobile Tiki (PDA and WAP access), RSS feeds, a category system, a theme control center, and more. When would you need a wiki that is bundled with other features? Find out for yourself in this session what makes TikiWiki unique. TikiWiki CMS/Groupware is a full-featured, tightly integrated, open source, multilingual, all-in-one Wiki-CMS-Groupware, written in PHP and actively developed by a very large international community. Major features include articles, forums, newsletters, blogs, a file/image gallery, a wiki, bug & issue tracker (form generator), a calendar, RSS feeds, a category system, tags, a workflow engine, an advanced user, group and permission system and more.

This talk will look at aspects of the design of the JVM that make it suitable (or not) for non-Java languages, and explains how JSR 292 is designing new abstractions that can help the implementation of all languages. These include the "invokedynamic" instruction, interface injection, and lightweight methods. Ultimately, they might enable non-Java languages to run even faster on the JVM than Java itself.

Upstart is being developed to not only solve this problem but also how it, through integration with D-Bus, DeviceKit and similar frameworks, allows service lifecycles to be tied to hardware and system state.

A web interface to an embedded system provides many benefits, such as remote control without software installation, and comfortable device operation and configuration without the constraints and the cost of an awkward user interface due to limited space on the device itself. At the same time, web interfaces are becoming the preferred choice for application development of various types, driven by rapid advances in web browser technology, (wireless) network availability, and low deployment costs. Wt is an open source web toolkit that brings state-of-the-art cross-browser, AJAX-enabled web application development to C++ programmers who have little or no experience in web technologies. We present some of its features and show how it resembles typical desktop GUI toolkits from a programmer point of view. Because of its high performance, it is popular for large deployments on Internet and intranet servers down to small deployments on embedded systems. We discuss its suitability for embedded systems compared to alternative approaches, and demonstrate some capabilities using a 200MHz ARM device.

Zero is an interpreter-only port of OpenJDK that uses no assembler and therefore can trivially be built on any Linux system. This talk will be about developments since the last FOSDEM. The build system has been improved to the point that building is as simple as "./configure && make"; many new platforms have been tried and tested; and a platform-independent JIT called Shark has been developed that uses the LLVM compiler infrastructure to JIT compile Java methods without introducing system-specific code.
