Hi,
新年快樂!

想搶到最棒的禮物嗎?
曾經有 Vim 的馬克杯喔!
2010 12/28 晚上 20:00 我們在  #tossug IRC [1]
白象交換禮物
等你喔

報名網址: http://registrano.com/events/tossug-2010-gift-exchange
什麼是白象交換禮物呢?

1. 每人準備一份禮物,價值在新台幣 300 元左右。
2. 主持人會事先聯絡每個參加者索取禮物實體的照片一張和包裝後的照片一張。參加者必須發揮創意,讓其他參加者無法從包裝後的照片猜出禮物是什麼。
3. 在交換禮物開始前 30 分鐘到 5 分鐘之間進入 irc.freenode.org 的 #tossug 頻道報到,未及時報到者主持人得取消其參加資格。
4. 開始交換禮物時,主持人將所有禮物的包裝照片展示在網頁上,讓所有參加者觀看。主持人事先會對每個禮物編個序號。
5. 遊戲分回合進行,由主持人抽籤或以電腦亂數決定各個回合的起手人。
6. 第一回合的起手人從所有禮物中選一個禮物,主持人即將其「拆封」,也就是將禮物的實體照片公佈在網頁上,第一回合結束。
7. 第二回合起手人可以選一個禮物,或搶走第一回合的禮物。

禮物被搶的人有兩個選擇:
A. 再搶另一個人的禮物,但不可以把剛離手的禮物搶回。
B. 選一個還沒拆封的禮物,則本回合在主持人將其拆封後結束。
8. 同一回合最多可以有 N 次選禮物的機會,第 N 個人一定要選一個未拆封的禮物。一般 N = 3,但可以由參加者在開始遊戲之前共同決定。
9. 最後一回合開始前,在參加者同意下,主持人可以先拆封最後一個禮物。
10. 當每個人都有一個禮物時,遊戲結束。每個人事後再將禮物寄送給獲得禮物的人。

想參加的朋友,請在報名後將禮物拆封圖與包裝圖寄給 [email protected],未在活動開始前寄到者視同放棄參加資格。

新年快樂!

Hi,

Did you attend the OSDC.TW conference this year? Did you miss the talk by Thinker, Chihchun and Chao-Lung because of too many parallel sessions?

Maybe you didn't register in time? Or you have listened to their talk, and wanted to learn more about it?

This is your chance! Thinker will come to Tossug next Tuesday (May 4) to deep dive into the GUI system he and friends developed based on SVG + Gecko. Want to know, understand, use or participate in such a cool project? What are you waiting for? Register for the talk at http://registrano.com/events/1854be immediately!

Topic: Conquer SVG + Gecko completely

Abstract:
Talking about GUI, many people think about toolkits like qt/gtk.
However, none of these tools can help in many situations because the
user interface designed by artists and UI designers are far beyond the
capabilities of these toolkits. We'll introduce a different approach in
this talk: a more cohesive environment created for UI designers,
artists and programmers based on SVG technology.

Outline:
 - Introduction to SVG
  - Introduction to XBL
 - Using xulrunner
  - xulrunner applications
  - related development tools
 - Examples

【04/06 TOSSUG 心得分享】jserv: LLVM 力 -- 軟體的價值由編譯器決定

[English below]

我真的懶得寫了,講者是 jserv 耶!大家說說看,還需要我介紹嗎?更何況神級的 jserv 早在四個禮拜!四個禮拜前就把簡介大綱寫完了! m(_._)m

大家就不用看我囉嗦,直接看 jserv 寫的簡介吧!


簡介: 當今資訊建設中,無論硬體架構為何,軟體開發可說清一色為 framework 導向,從 iPhone、Netbook、到大型伺服器交易系統,無不都思考如何更多元、更安全、更有效率地發揮硬體特性。當編譯器技術走入新的層次時,就需要更強大且多元的 Toolkit/framework。去年筆者已在 OSDC.tw 的〈窮得只剩下 Compiler〉探討過資訊技術的典範移轉 (paradigm shift) 與突破限制的可能性,今年則打算透過實務的開發,探討編譯器嶄新的革命。改編女王的話:「請您一定要相信:軟體的價值由編譯器決定,我們當然可以活到老、Coding 到老」。

議程大綱:
- 如火如荼發展的 LLVM
- 動手用 LLVM:不是為了取悅硬體而寫編譯器,而是為自己而寫編譯器
- LLVM 為基礎的自由軟體專案回顧

Hi,

I'm happy to announce that jserv is coming to talk about LLVM next week. He is so famous that I don't need to introduce him anymore. The following is his introduction to his talk, translated by me. Any mistakes are my own.

No matter what the hardware architecture is, it is safe to say that the development of software on top of it is framework oriented nowadays. From iPhone, Netbook to large scale transactional server systems, people all are trying to squeeze the last drop out of the hardware more securely, more efficiently and in more ways. When the compiler technology steps up to a new level, stronger and more diversified toolkits/frameworks are called for. I have given a talk "compiler is all I have" one the paradigm shift of information technology and the possibility of a break through in OSDC.tw last year. I'd like to discuss the brand new revolution of compiler technology via pragmatic development this year. Rephrasing the words of the Queen: "You must believe: the value of software is decided by compilers. We can surely keeping coding until we're old."

Outline:
- LLVM on a soar
- Hands-on LLVM: writing compiler not to please hardware, but for oneself
- An overview of free software projects based on LLVM

【03/02 TOSSUG 心得分享】Juha Lindfors: Introduction to the openremote project

[English below]

你想用 iPhone 或 Android 手機遙控家裡的電器嗎?

感謝 wycc 的介紹,我們很高興邀請到 openremote.org 的 Juha Lindfors [1] 來 Tossug,親自向大家介紹 openremote.org 這個開放源碼專案。

    demo: http://www.youtube.com/user/openremote#p/a/u/0/kOp07U82cRs

    Juha Lindfors 目前熱血在衝居家自動化的開放源碼軟體,在加入 openremote.org 之前,他是 JBoss [2] 的核心開發者,身兼 JBoss 顧問、講者和 JBoss 訓練單位的協理,還行有餘力出了一本 Java Management Extensions 的書 [3]。


    演講摘要:

    打造「智慧住家」(Smart Home)所需的居家自動化技術,目前多半用的是專屬的技術和協定,缺乏互通和替換性。因為廠商想要把顧客鎖在他們自家的產品裡,顧客很難自行客製化或擴充產品的功能,這常常造成裝機成本的上升。

    OpenRemote 是個用 GPL 授權釋出的開放源碼專案,想要打造一個居家自動化的自由開放平台。它是基於 Linux 和 Java runtime 的一個中介軟體,可以在一般 PC 上執行。OpenRemote 社群把好幾種居家自動化的協定和設備整合起來,希望能解放智慧住家的真正潛力,而且讓一般人都負擔得起。

    Juha 將會從基本的居家自動化開始講,並把 OpenRemote 專案的現況介紹給大家。

    Hi,

    We're happy to have Juha Lindfors [1] for the next Tossug experience sharing. He'll speak on "Introduction to the openremote project".

    Juha is working in the home automation field and starting up http://www.openremote.org. Earlier he was involved with JBoss [2] as one of the core server developers, a JBoss consultant, an instructor and a JBoss training director. At some point he also managed to author a book on Java Management Extensions [3].

    Abstract of the talk:

    OpenRemote is an Open Source effort to create an open and free platform for home automation. The smart homes of today are mostly based on proprietary technology and protocols that lack interoperability. This is driving up the cost of installation as vendors attempt to lock their customers into solutions that are difficult to extend and customize.

    OpenRemote is a software stack based on Linux and Java runtime installable on commodity PC hardware and under the GPL license. Our community integrates various home automation protocols and devices under a single, open platform. The goal is to unlock the true potential of smart homes at affordable prices. This talk gives an introduction to home automation and the current state of the OpenRemote project.

【01/19 TOSSUG 心得分享】Scott Tsai 蔡彰人 - QEMU USB Device Emulation Through USB/IP

[English below]

我們很高興邀請到在消費性電子業界打滾多年的 Linux Hacker: Scott Tsai (蔡彰人)[1]

他是 FreedomHEC Taipei 2009 [2] 活動的籌辦人之一,本身也是硬底子的軟體工程師,平時多與國外的開發者直接交流,專長為 Device Drivers, Linux Kernel, ISO 13818, DVB, Set-Top Box, TV,如果有參加過 FreedomHEC Taipei 2009 的話就會知道那兩天之中來了許多國外重量級的 Linux Kernel 開發者,其中一天 Linux 的重量級開發者 Greg KH [3] 介紹了如何寫一個 USB 溫度計的驅動程式,有些與會者甚花了 TWD 1500 買了那隻 USB 溫度計,而 Scott 將在這次的心得分享當中,介紹如何用軟體去模擬那隻硬體的 USB 溫度計。

演講內容:
修改 QEMU 原始碼使其可以模擬 USB device 端,而非 USB host 端的 controller 硬體。例如當我們將手機透過 USB 接到電腦時,電腦是 USB host,手機是 USB device。做完此工作的用處是可以用模擬器,而不必用實際硬體進行 USB device protocol 開發。手機常支援但 Linux kernel 內 USB gadget driver 目前沒有實作的 device class 包括:
* 數位相機用的 media transfer protocol
* Android 自訂的存取 shell 與拷貝檔案用的 adb protocol

演講大綱:
* The QEMU emulator and its target market
* USB host and device support in QEMU
* Previous attempts at extending USB device support in QEMU
* The USB/IP project and protocol
* USB device controller hardware interface
* Connecting it all together
* What it takes to productize this work and merge it upstream

Hi,

We're happy to invite Scott Tsai [1] for the next experience sharing.

Scott is a Linux hacker who has been working in consumer electronics for many years. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to hardware and related software. His expertise is in device drivers, Linux kernel, ISO 13818, DVB, Set-Top box, and TV. He participates in related mailing lists and knows many developers outside Taiwan. He is one of the organizers of the FreedomHEC Taipei 2009 [2] where many Linux kernel developers from abroad attended.

Linux developer Greg KH [3] introduced how to write the device driver for a USB thermometer in FreedomHEC Taipei 2009, and some participants bought the thermometer with TWD 1500. Scott will introduce his work on emulating that USB thermometer with software in QEMU.

Abstract of the talk:

I'll introduce modification of QEMU source codes to emulate USB device instead of controller hardware on the USB host side. In case you are not familiar with USB, the USB host on a computer to cell phone USB connection is the computer, and the USB device is the cell phone. With the emulator equipped with the USB device emulation, you can develop and test your USB device protocol without using hardware. The device classes that cell phones often support but the USB gadget driver of Linux kernel doesn't implement includes:
* the media transfer protocol of digital cameras
* the adb protocol defined by Android for shell access and file copy

Outline:
* The QEMU emulator and its target market
* USB host and device support in QEMU
* Previous attempts at extending USB device support in QEMU
* The USB/IP project and protocol
* USB device controller hardware interface
* Connecting it all together
* What it takes to productize this work and merge it upstream
