Inaugural Address of Harry S. Truman
Mr. Vice President, Mr. Chief Justice, and fellow citizens, I accept with humility the honor which the American people have conferred upon me. I accept it with a deep resolve to do all that I can for the welfare of this Nation and for the peace of the world.
In performing the duties of my office, I need the help and prayers of every one of you. I ask for your encouragement and your support. The tasks we face are difficult, and we can accomplish them only if we work together.
Each period of our national history has had its special challenges. Those that confront us now are as momentous as any in the past. Today marks the beginning not only of a new administration, but of a period that will be eventful, perhaps decisive, for us and for the world.
It may be our lot to experience, and in large measure to bring about, a major turning point in the long history of the human race. The first half of this century has been marked by unprecedented and brutal attacks on the rights of man, and by the two most frightful wars in history. The supreme need of our time is for men to learn to live together in peace and harmony.
The peoples of the earth face the future with grave uncertainty, composed almost equally of great hopes and great fears. In this time of doubt, they look to the United States as never before for good will, strength, and wise leadership.
It is fitting, therefore, that we take this occasion to proclaim to the world the essential principles of the faith by which we live, and to declare our aims to all peoples.
The American people stand firm in the faith which has inspired this Nation from the beginning. We believe that all men have a right to equal justice under law and equal opportunity to share in the common good. We believe that all men have the right to freedom of thought and expression. We believe that all men are created equal because they are created in the image of God.
From this faith we will not be moved.
The American people desire, and are determined to work for, a world in which all nations and all peoples are free to govern themselves as they see fit, and to achieve a decent and satisfying life. Above all else, our people desire, and are determined to work for, peace on earth--a just and lasting peace--based on genuine agreement freely arrived at by equals.
In the pursuit of these aims, the United States and other like- minded nations find themselves directly opposed by a regime with contrary aims and a totally different concept of life.
That regime adheres to a false philosophy which purports to offer freedom, security, and greater opportunity to mankind. Misled by this philosophy, many peoples have sacrificed their liberties only to learn to their sorrow that deceit and mockery, poverty and tyranny, are their reward.
That false philosophy is communism.
Communism is based on the belief that man is so weak and inadequate that he is unable to govern himself, and therefore requires the rule of strong masters.
Democracy is based on the conviction that man has the moral and intellectual capacity, as well as the inalienable right, to govern himself with reason and justice.
Communism subjects the individual to arrest without lawful cause, punishment without trial, and forced labor as the chattel of the state. It decrees what information he shall receive, what art he shall produce, what leaders he shall follow, and what thoughts he shall think.
Democracy maintains that government is established for the benefit of the individual, and is charged with the responsibility of protecting the rights of the individual and his freedom in the exercise of his abilities.
Communism maintains that social wrongs can be corrected only by violence.
Democracy has proved that social justice can be achieved through peaceful change.
Communism holds that the world is so deeply divided into opposing classes that war is inevitable.
Democracy holds that free nations can settle differences justly and maintain lasting peace.
These differences between communism and democracy do not concern the United States alone. People everywhere are coming to realize that what is involved is material well-being, human dignity, and the right to believe in and worship God.
I state these differences, not to draw issues of belief as such, but because the actions resulting from the Communist philosophy are a threat to the efforts of free nations to bring about world recovery and lasting peace.
Since the end of hostilities, the United States has invested its substance and its energy in a great constructive effort to restore peace, stability, and freedom to the world.
We have sought no territory and we have imposed our will on none. We have asked for no privileges we would not extend to others.
We have constantly and vigorously supported the United Nations and related agencies as a means of applying democratic principles to international relations. We have consistently advocated and relied upon peaceful settlement of disputes among nations.
We have made every effort to secure agreement on effective international control of our most powerful weapon, and we have worked steadily for the limitation and control of all armaments.
We have encouraged, by precept and example, the expansion of world trade on a sound and fair basis.
Almost a year ago, in company with 16 free nations of Europe, we launched the greatest cooperative economic program in history. The purpose of that unprecedented effort is to invigorate and strengthen democracy in Europe, so that the free people of that continent can resume their rightful place in the forefront of civilization and can contribute once more to the security and welfare of the world.
Our efforts have brought new hope to all mankind. We have beaten back despair and defeatism. We have saved a number of countries from losing their liberty. Hundreds of millions of people all over the world now agree with us, that we need not have war--that we can have peace.
The initiative is ours.
We are moving on with other nations to build an even stronger structure of international order and justice. We shall have as our partners countries which, no longer solely concerned with the problem of national survival, are now working to improve the standards of living of all their people. We are ready to undertake new projects to strengthen the free world.
In the coming years, our program for peace and freedom will emphasize four major courses of action.
First, we will continue to give unfaltering support to the United Nations and related agencies, and we will continue to search for ways to strengthen their authority and increase their effectiveness. We believe that the United Nations will be strengthened by the new nations which are being formed in lands now advancing toward self-government under democratic principles.
Second, we will continue our programs for world economic recovery.
This means, first of all, that we must keep our full weight behind the European recovery program. We are confident of the success of this major venture in world recovery. We believe that our partners in this effort will achieve the status of self-supporting nations once again.
In addition, we must carry out our plans for reducing the barriers to world trade and increasing its volume. Economic recovery and peace itself depend on increased world trade.
Third, we will strengthen freedom-loving nations against the dangers of aggression.
We are now working out with a number of countries a joint agreement designed to strengthen the security of the North Atlantic area. Such an agreement would take the form of a collective defense arrangement within the terms of the United Nations Charter.
We have already established such a defense pact for the Western Hemisphere by the treaty of Rio de Janeiro.
The primary purpose of these agreements is to provide unmistakable proof of the joint determination of the free countries to resist armed attack from any quarter. Each country participating in these arrangements must contribute all it can to the common defense.
If we can make it sufficiently clear, in advance, that any armed attack affecting our national security would be met with overwhelming force, the armed attack might never occur.
I hope soon to send to the Senate a treaty respecting the North Atlantic security plan.
In addition, we will provide military advice and equipment to free nations which will cooperate with us in the maintenance of peace and security.
Fourth, we must embark on a bold new program for making the benefits of our scientific advances and industrial progress available for the improvement and growth of underdeveloped areas.
More than half the people of the world are living in conditions approaching misery. Their food is inadequate. They are victims of disease. Their economic life is primitive and stagnant. Their poverty is a handicap and a threat both to them and to more prosperous areas.
For the first time in history, humanity possesses the knowledge and the skill to relieve the suffering of these people.
The United States is pre-eminent among nations in the development of industrial and scientific techniques. The material resources which we can afford to use for the assistance of other peoples are limited. But our imponderable resources in technical knowledge are constantly growing and are inexhaustible.
I believe that we should make available to peace-loving peoples the benefits of our store of technical knowledge in order to help them realize their aspirations for a better life. And, in cooperation with other nations, we should foster capital investment in areas needing development.
Our aim should be to help the free peoples of the world, through their own efforts, to produce more food, more clothing, more materials for housing, and more mechanical power to lighten their burdens.
We invite other countries to pool their technological resources in this undertaking. Their contributions will be warmly welcomed. This should be a cooperative enterprise in which all nations work together through the United Nations and its specialized agencies wherever practicable. It must be a worldwide effort for the achievement of peace, plenty, and freedom.
With the cooperation of business, private capital, agriculture, and labor in this country, this program can greatly increase the industrial activity in other nations and can raise substantially their standards of living.
Such new economic developments must be devised and controlled to benefit the peoples of the areas in which they are established. Guarantees to the investor must be balanced by guarantees in the interest of the people whose resources and whose labor go into these developments.
The old imperialism--exploitation for foreign profit--has no place in our plans. What we envisage is a program of development based on the concepts of democratic fair-dealing.
All countries, including our own, will greatly benefit from a constructive program for the better use of the world's human and natural resources. Experience shows that our commerce with other countries expands as they progress industrially and economically.
Greater production is the key to prosperity and peace. And the key to greater production is a wider and more vigorous application of modern scientific and technical knowledge.
Only by helping the least fortunate of its members to help themselves can the human family achieve the decent, satisfying life that is the right of all people.
Democracy alone can supply the vitalizing force to stir the peoples of the world into triumphant action, not only against their human oppressors, but also against their ancient enemies-- hunger, misery, and despair.
On the basis of these four major courses of action we hope to help create the conditions that will lead eventually to personal freedom and happiness for all mankind.
If we are to be successful in carrying out these policies, it is clear that we must have continued prosperity in this country and we must keep ourselves strong.
Slowly but surely we are weaving a world fabric of international security and growing prosperity.
We are aided by all who wish to live in freedom from fear--even by those who live today in fear under their own governments.
We are aided by all who want relief from the lies of propaganda-- who desire truth and sincerity.
We are aided by all who desire self-government and a voice in deciding their own affairs.
We are aided by all who long for economic security--for the security and abundance that men in free societies can enjoy.
We are aided by all who desire freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom to live their own lives for useful ends.
Our allies are the millions who hunger and thirst after righteousness.
In due time, as our stability becomes manifest, as more and more nations come to know the benefits of democracy and to participate in growing abundance, I believe that those countries which now oppose us will abandon their delusions and join with the free nations of the world in a just settlement of international differences.
Events have brought our American democracy to new influence and new responsibilities. They will test our courage, our devotion to duty, and our concept of liberty.
But I say to all men, what we have achieved in liberty, we will surpass in greater liberty.
Steadfast in our faith in the Almighty, we will advance toward a world where man's freedom is secure.
To that end we will devote our strength, our resources, and our firmness of resolve. With God's help, the future of mankind will be assured in a world of justice, harmony, and peace.

Idea list for GSoC 2013
Collaboration projects with MATE project
GTK3 support
Status: Proposed - Draft
Summary of idea: GTK+ (GIMP Toolkit) is the cross-platform widget toolkit used in MATE to create graphical user interfaces. GTK3, released in 2011, and in Fedora since F14, brings a lot of improvements. Add GTK3 support to MATE, keeping the traditional desktop metaphor, is one of the goals of the MATE Desktop project.
Knowledge prerequisite: C, GTK.
Skill level: Medium
Contacts: Stefano Karapetsas
Mentor(s): Stefano Karapetsas, stevezesch2 [AT] gmail [DOT] com
Notes: -
Wayland support in marco window manager
Status: Proposed - Draft
Summary of idea: Wayland is a next generation display server protocol with the aim to replace the old X server. With Wayland, the window managers will become display servers and compositors at same time, using the Wayland library. Wayland is already available in Fedora, and KDE and GNOME already are moving in this direction, so this could be a great improvement for both MATE and Fedora.
Knowledge prerequisite: C, X11.
Skill level: High

Collaboration projects with Geeklog project
Please note that only one of the following Geeklog projects will be accepted under the Fedora umbrella!
Geeklog: Install Script Refinements
Status: Proposed
Summary of idea: The install script is one of the very first things a new Geeklog user encounters. Therefore, it is important that it is easy to use, supports the user in installing, updating and migrating a Geeklog site while being robust and providing helpful hints and error messages.
The current install script was originally implemented as a GSoC project in 2007 and further improved upon in GSoC 2008. We are still pretty happy with it, but there's always room for improvement. And this is what this GSoC project is about - we are looking for an evolution, not a revolution.
Knowledge prerequisite: PHP, MySQL (possibly also PostgreSQL and MS SQL), basic webserver knowledge
Skill level: Low - Medium
Contacts: Dirk Haun
Mentor(s): Dirk Haun
Geeklog: Crowdsourcing Translations
Status: Proposed
Summary of idea: Geeklog has been translated into over 30 languages, but many of those translations haven't been updated in a while. The current way of editing a PHP file is just too awkward, error prone, and not very intuitive (since you can't see the context in which a text string is used).
We're looking for a way to make translating Geeklog easier, especially for people who do not have a knowledge of PHP. Also, for new translations, the sheer amount of text to translate can be discouraging. The idea is to address both of these problems by crowdsourcing.
Knowledge prerequisite: PHP, SQL, JavaScript
Skill level: Medium - High
Contacts: Dirk Haun
Mentor(s): Dirk Haun
Geeklog: Provide PHP Session Handling
Status: Proposed
Summary of idea: Geeklog currently uses custom session management to maintain users session information. The custom session implementation is antique and needs to be upgraded to a fully supported session management system such as the one provided by PHP Sessions. The implementation needs to be secure and should cache user data between page loads of a session.
Given Geeklog's focus on security, this implementation must be hardened against the usual attacks.
Knowledge prerequisite: PHP, PHP / Web Security
Skill level: Medium - High
Contacts: Dirk Haun
Mentor(s): Dirk Haun
Applications for desktop end users
These are coding projects that benefit end users of the Linux desktop.
Integrate Proxy Settings and Network Connections(Locations)
Status: Proposed
Summary of idea: The system should use an appropriate networking profile (e.g. Proxy settings) for each network connection.
Gnome 2 had a concept of network locations in its Network Proxy configuration window. However, user should selected the appropriate location whenever he moves between networks. This idea is about providing an integration between NetworkManager and Desktop environments so that a user can create network profiles for each network location(connection) providing appropriate settings like proxy settings which is the main proposed setting here. NetworkManager can have a "Network Location" concept: for wireless networks, usually the name of the network (ESSID) is usually enough. For wired connections, DHCP servers can and usually do provide network's domain name, which can be used as the name of the location. It is nice if a user can associate each network location with a network settings profile which will be used whenever the user is connected to that network automatically. So, when you connect to a network, a corresponding network settings profile is activated automatically.
Knowledge prerequisite:
Skill level:
Contacts: Hedayat Vatankhah
Notes: There is an entry with some description in NetworkManager TODO which should be considered for the implementation
Web hosting control panel
Status: Proposed - Draft
Summary of idea: develop a free alternative of cpanel / plesk control panels, 100% compatible with fedora, and redhat enterprise Linux. written in python.
the control panel will be able to create domains and automatically setup apache, postfix, dovecot, mysql, postgresql bind etc…
Knowledge prerequisite: apache, postfix, dovecot, mysql, postgresql, proftpd, bind
Skill level: Medium
Contacts: itamarjp [AT] fedoraproject [DOT] org, kaustubh [DOT] karkare [AT] gmail [DOT] com
Assemble a toolchain for recording screencasts easily
Status: Proposed - Draft - Need a mentor
Summary of idea: Creating screencasts on Fedora and post-processing them for upload should be easy and fool proof.
The Fedora Videos project has been launched to bring together a collection of screencasts that help people learn how to use Fedora. There's only one major hurdle, though. Capturing really good screencasts on Fedora, post-processing them to include an intro and outro and other effects, and finally exporting them to an open format is challenging. There are lots of different tools, but each one only gets you part of the way there and you have to be the glue to make it all work. And then there are the bugs.
The goal of this project is to assemble a toolchain (a recommended collection of software available in the Fedora repositories) and write a comprehensive tutorial for how to create an professional-looking screencast. That may included chasing down & fixing bugs in the existing tools, discovering new tools and getting them packaged and learning about techniques in the environment around the computer, such as how to select & setup a microphone or how to draft a good speaking script. One possible task in the project is to add sound recording support to the Gnome 3 desktop recorder. Currently, the desktop recorder only grabs the video of the screen.
The student will get support and advice from the Fedora Videos team since they are trying to learn how to create these screencasts.
Knowledge prerequisite: gstreamer, video and sound editing, blender
Skill level: Medium
Contacts: Fedora Videos Team

Improve Fedora's Tablet User Experience
Status: Proposed - Draft
Summary of idea: Improving Fedora's Tablet User Experience.
The window managers/desktop environments officially supported by Fedora do not match the expectations of people with low power touch devices.
Fedora features new technology to reduce system load and - requirements, the user interface has not seen too much love.
Currently available interfaces for users are:
Too Ressource Consuming
Too Overloaded or
Too Feature Poor
Not Customizable With Reasonable Effort
The E17 Desktop Shell, developed as part of the Enlightenment Project, is a perfect match. It provides a rich interface, whilst consuming very little ressources. The Enlightenment Foundation Libraries, on which E17 is built upon, were chosen as Foundation Block of Tizen, the MeeGo successor backed by Samsung and Intel. If things work out, E17 will be the first "real" Desktop Shell for Wayland.
Though it already provides special behaviour for touchscreen devices through certain modules, there's still room for improvement.
The overall goal of this project would be to improve the user experience of people who want to use Fedora on low power devices such as tablets.
The student will get support and advice from the Enlightenment Project developers.
Knowledge prerequisite: C, X11, Wayland, Enlightenment Foundation Libraries
Skill level: Medium to High
Contacts: Michael Bouchaud (yoz [at] efl [dot] so), Leif Middelschulte (leif [dot] middelschulte [at] student [dot] kit [dot] edu)
Mentor(s): Michael Bouchaud (yoz [at] efl [dot] so)
Notes: If this idea gets realized, a proper tablet spin can be created, that honors the spirit of Fedora.
Applications for programmers
Implement a binding translator for GlusterFS
Status: Proposed - Draft
Summary of idea: In transporting data across networks, programmers need GlusterFS language bindings to be able to create apps in their language of choice. A language binding translator would greatly increase the number of programmers who would be able to more easily extend GlusterFS. It's also a fun project for someone wanting to get some experience with multi-threaded architecture and design in the context of distributed systems and data.
Knowledge prerequisite: C, Python, embedded Python
Skill level: Medium to High
Contacts: johnmark [AT]redhat [DOT] com , abperiasamy [AT] gmail [DOT] com
Mentor(s): Anand Avati - Mentor, AB Periasamy - Co-mentor, John Mark Walker - Co-mentor
Notes: -
Implement a Cassandra/NoSQL Connector or Translator for GlusterFS
Status: Proposed - Draft
Summary of idea: In general, there is a need for the ability to store and access NoSQL data on general purpose distributed filesystems. Currently, there are a host of single-purpose methods for storing and retrieving NoSQL data, which are difficult to access from legacy applications. Creating a NoSQL translator for GlusterFS would help mitigate this problem and give developers more options for storing and accessing "big data" in a way that is accessible via a variety of standard toolkits and protocols.
Knowledge prerequisite: C, GlusterFS internals
Skill level: High
Contacts: johnmark [AT]redhat [DOT] com , abperiasamy [AT] gmail [DOT] com

Embedded Cli tool for most popular DBMS
Status: Proposed - Students' Idea - Need a mentor
Summary of idea: Today, many developers are working with different DBMS. I propose to develop a common command line interface for most popular databases. For example: MySQL, Oracle Database, PostgreSQL.
Knowledge prerequisite: Java, JDBC, MySQL, Oracle Database, PostgreSQL.
Skill level: Medium
Contacts: Alexandr Egorov 0x0j023 [AT] gmail [DOT] com
Linux kernel project
Implement nfs/fscache writeback cache (Dropped)
Status: Dropped — This is a GSoC 2012 idea and is being working on by Hongyi Jia although he didn't get the GSoC slot (http://www.jiayi.net/works/nfsfscache-writeback-cache/). So, I'm not going to mentor the idea this year and if anyone is really interested in it, feel free to contact me and I'll be happy to answer questions:-)
Summary of idea: Currently, the flashcache/bcache only works for local filesystems. For network filesystems, nfs only supports write through cache based on fscache/cachefiles. With wider adoption of SSD on nfs client side, it would be great for nfs to support writeback cache to speed up write intensive clients. This project would implement a writeback mechanism for nfs, which need to make necessary changes to kernel nfs, fscache and cachefiles modules, and take care of nfs close-to-open semantics.
Knowledge prerequisite: C, Linux kernel, nfs
Skill level: High

Mentor(s): Peng Tao - Mentor
Infrastructure for Fedora contributors and users
Design Hub: FLOSS Collaboration for FLOSS Designers
Status: Proposed - Draft
Summary of idea: Free software designers don't have a great set of tools to work with to collaborate with each other and with the community on their design work. With this project, we'd like to make progress towards fixing that. We have some disparate ideas / tools that we'd like to be integrated:
Sparkleshare - a git-backed, Dropbox like system that will automatically check in and push files in project directly to a shared git repo
Design Hub - an idea and a ruby on rails prototype of a web front end that could potentially serve as a front end to git repos with design assets and serve as well as a front end to magic mockup mockups in said repos
Inkscape is our preferred design tool of choice; it would be great if it had some GUI integration with Magic Mockup, Sparkleshare, and Design Hub
Knowledge prerequisite: Ruby on Rails, web development, some UI design chops Skill level: Intermediate Contacts: edirsh at redhat dot com
Mentor(s): Emily Dirsh
Notes: We can provide a development platform for the web UI at openshift.redhat.com. Also, note this project doesn't just benefit Fedora designers, but it benefits all FLOSS designers.
Implement a unit test framework for fedpkg and rpkg
Status: Proposed
Summary of idea: Unit tests are good. Testing is good. fedpkg and it's backend rpkg is a growing code base, gaining more and more contributors. It lacks a unit test framework which would be very beneficial to the code base for making sure contributions don't break the code in subtle ways.
Knowledge prerequisite:
Skill level:
Notes: This project is in python.
Package GitLab in Fedora/EPEL
Status: Proposed
Summary of idea: To package GitLab for Fedora and EPEL (if possible).
Git has fundamentally improved the way that developers share code. The barrier to sharing code has virtually been eliminated. We are also seeing the emergence of a new dynamic called "Social Coding". There's no better example of this than Github.
Creating an environment to foster social coding, and a low barrier to sharing code, requires more than just git, though. A lot of what makes Github successful with git is the web-based front end.
Fortunately, there is an open source application named Gitlab that provides much of the interactive functionality and usability that is found at Github. The goal of this project is to bring that experience to fedorahosted.org by setting up Gitlab.
This project will require working with ruby packaging sig to get the necessary gems packaged and available in Fedora (and if possible EPEL as well).
Knowledge prerequisite: Ruby, git, packaging
Skill level: Medium
Contacts: Dan Allen (general), Vít Ondruch (packaging)
Mentor(s): Ranjib Dey (tentative), Dmitriy Zaporozhets (dzaporozhets), Ariejan de Vroom (ariejan)
Notes: This idea is definitely something the Fedora project is interested in pursuing. The work in this project will be carried on after the project, and is an opportunity for a longer-term involvement in Fedora.
A demo of Gitlab can be found here: http://demo.gitlabhq.com
Dorrie: A web-interface for building Fedora spins/remixes

Knowledge Prerequisite: Python, Fedora Packaging
Skill Level: Low - Medium
Contacts: Stephen Gallagher
Mentor(s): Stephen Gallagher (Backup)
Financial IS for Fedora project
Status: Proposed
Summary of idea: There is a need of an information system where it can be used with in the project to track and analyse the finacial activities. It may be a customiztion of a open source solution or a solution from scratch.
Skill Level: Medium
Mentor : Charindu Thiwanka - Technical
Co-Mentor(s): Buddhike Kurera - Functional
Notes: knowledge in PHP is required. MVC design pattern
Event management system for Fedora
Status: Proposed
Summary of idea: Fedora contributors organize lot of events. We need a system to manage them. This sounds like a project management utility. You can either build from scratch or customize an available free software. This can be used to small event and as well as large event like FUDcons. The main advantage to use such system is to organize tasks and manage the cost. If you are interested contact me with a proposal.
Skill Level: Medium
Contacts: Buddhike Kurera
Mentor(s): Buddhike Kurera)
Notes: knowledge in PHP is required. MVC design pattern, creativity
Darkserver improvement
Status: Proposed
Summary of idea: Darkserver now only supports primary koji instance of Fedora. We need support
other secondary architectures and distributions. Different workers should use different job queues and they all should work independently. The current admin commands also need proper upgrade to handle different resources to import from. The code also needs to be rebased so that it becomes more test friendly.
Knowledge prerequisite: Python, Django
Skill level: high

Implement a battery of unit tests for SSSD
Status: Proposed
Summary of idea: The purpose of this project is to develop a suite of unit tests for the SSSD. The unit tests would leverage mock objects to be able to exercise code that is otherwise only ever reachable when the SSSD is connected to the network. Contributing the set of unit tests to the SSSD would greatly improve its stability long-term and would help raise confidence when pushing new SSSD versions into Fedora or other distributions.
Knowledge prerequisite: C programming
Skill level: intermediate to high

Mentor(s): Jakub Hrozek
Improving Fedora packaging
AUR Clone for Fedora
Status: Proposed - Students' Idea - Need a mentor
Summary of idea: The idea is to make an AUR clone for Fedora where users can submit buildfiles, which need to be hosted. These set of files can compile packages on the user side, and installed locally.
The benefit of this method is:
No need to host the entire packages (saving space on servers hosting the RPMs)
Make changes to the buildfile, and not compile the package
Can pull sources from any version control system/stored tarballs to make a very upto-date package. (See blog entry for an example)
Contacts: Anuj More
Notes: Need mentor. Need advice on feasibility of the software and issues that can arise. Also, read the extensive blog post on my blog.
Analogy: This is a lot like "having your own library" vs "getting a book from a bookstore". If you refer a book often, you'd keep it in your library. This would occupy space and consume resources. Otherwise, you'd just pull out a separate paper with instructions about the bookstore to find the book, and fetch the book from the store. Though the first method is hassle-free, it is not possible to have all the books in the world with you.
Maven FOSS Repository Extension
Status: Proposed
Summary of idea: With the inception of Maven we have a means to standardize the building of Java projects. However it has also resulted in the usage of a very wide dependency set by these Java projects. This makes it very hard to integrate those projects on a single platform (be it Fedora or JBoss Application Server (or the combination)).
In essence during packaging all these dependencies must be lined up to form a single consistent component set. Thus each project will only have those components available which are actually available on the target platform. This is very hard to enforce using standard Maven setup.
For Fedora I'm envisioning a Maven extension that makes sure only sanctioned components are used during the build (without putting a burden on the packager). This will allow developers who are not on Fedora to also build with this extension and thus verify (and fix) issues which are the result of "Fedora packaging".
A prototype can be viewed at Maven FOSS Repository Extension.

Educational Application for Fedora Robotics Suite
Status: Proposed
Summary of Idea: Create an educational app introducing software from Fedora Robotics Suite
The Fedora Robotics SIG is creating a Robotics Suite consisting of many packages useful in robotics. We want to develop a demonstration application introducing new users step by step to core packages like Fawkes and Player/Stage. It would feature multiple game-like levels with increasing complexity. The general task would be to instruct the robot to fulfill a specific task in a simulation environment.
Knowledge prerequisite: Developing this requires a strong background in C++, a background in robotics is preferred but not necessary. You should be able to familiarize yourself with new software quickly. User visible parts will require GUI programming using Gtkmm.

Improving the RHQ-PyAgent to interface with OpenLMI
Status: Proposed
Summary of idea: Improve the current RHQ-PyAgent written in Python that interfaces RHQ with OpenLMI to pick up metrics that are provided by OpenLMI from Fedora or RHEL systems. The agent is talking to the RHQ server via the REST api and push metrics to RHQ etc. This agent does/will not implement the full functionality of the RHQ java agent. The previous work is already pretty good, but it is cumbersome to add new OpenLMI-enabled servers and the types of the data model. The work of this year should concentrate on automating that process - perhaps after providing a range of IP addresses to query for servers. Similar for resource types, the agent would talk to the server to see what types are available and then check with the OpenLMI provider if this supports the same.
While RHQ is written in Java, this project does not require any Java knowledge.
Knowledge prerequisite: Python, Linux system administration, principles of REST
Skill level: Medium to High
Contacts: Heiko Rupp
Mentor(s): Heiko Rupp
Notes: RHQ wiki is at http://jboss.org/rhq, Previous years work: http://rhqagent.blogspot.com
Applications for Testers
Fedora Gooey Karma
Status: Proposed
Summary of idea: Fedora Easy Karma is a CLI application to help testers apply karma to installed updates and while it's great at doing so, it doesn't display much other information on what an update is supposed to fix or what can be done to test a particular update. A GUI tool that pulls in more information on packages under test would help in the testing process and hopefully help encourage less techical users to start testing packages.
Knowledge prerequisite: GUI tool kit (Qt or GTK), python
Skill level: intermediate
Contacts: Josef Skladanka (jskladan), Tim Flink (tflink)
Mentor(s): Josef Skladanka (jskladan), Tim Flink (tflink)
Notes: A longer description and some rough mockups can be found here
Blocker Tracking Application
Status: Proposed
Summary of idea: The blockerbugs web application is used by QA to track bugs which are currently blocking release, proposed as blocking release or could be pulled into the release past a code freeze. While the app itself already exists, there are many features which we would like to see implemented including (but not limited to):
Creating a RESTful API
Tracking contents of TC/RC spins
migrating css to zurb foundation 4
search functionality
improve the update sync process
implement CI tools (make-ish file that runs pylint, tests etc.)
integrate email (on error, on proposal, other thoughts …)
integrate fedbus (blocker X proposed, accepted, rejected)
fix the admin interface so that it actually works
Knowledge prerequisite: Some python experience is required, the app is written with Flask so some experiehce with that would be helpful
Skill level: Intermediate
Contacts: Tim Flink (tflink)
Mentor(s): Tim Flink (tflink)
Image Building Project
The image building project started last year as a gsoc project and while the progress was good, it isn't quite to the point where we need it to be for everyday usage. The emphasis would be on getting local image building to work before more work on distributing image building tasks got started.
Possible project components:
side repository management
better integration with bodhi and working based on updates instead of just package envrs
tree replication
integration with blockerbugs app
deltaiso creation
zsync for downloads
integration with koji's new livecd scratch builds
Knowledge prerequisite: Some python experience is required, familiarity with Fedora's ISO build tools would be preferred
Skill level: Intermediate to advanced

Chandler's Diabetes Story
How much do you know about diabetes? You might know that it's a condition that happens when a person's body can't control the amount of sugar (or glucose) in the blood. You also might know that people with diabetes have to pay attention to what they eat and get shots to help them stay healthy. But what's it like to live with diabetes every day? Just ask Chandler!
Chandler is 11 years old now, but he found out he had diabetes a few days after his fourth birthday. He's been living with diabetes for more than half his life already!
But diabetes doesn't stop him from doing all the things he likes. Even though he has to get shots and be aware of what he eats, he's still a very active guy. He loves to play baseball, skateboard, ride his bike, play video games, read, fish, swim, and collect Yu-Gi-Oh cards and baseball cards. He also likes watching all kinds of sports.
Some kids may have heard about diabetes but have never met someone with it. So we asked Chandler: "What do kids who don't have diabetes need to know about it?" He said kids need to know that "you can't catch it and it isn't contagious." He also said that kids should learn about diabetes "so you can help a diabetic person if they're in trouble."
Finding Out About Diabetes
So how did Chandler find out he had diabetes? It all started right before his 4-year checkup. His mom and dad noticed that he was drinking a whole lot and always having to go to the bathroom. He would wake up very thirsty and have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
At the checkup, his mom told Chandler's doctor about what was going on. The doctor asked Chandler to do a urine (pee) test. When the results came back, the doctor told Chandler that he needed to go to the hospital because he probably had diabetes.
At the hospital, the doctors did some tests and then told Chandler he had type 1 diabetes. When someone has type 1 diabetes, it means his or her body has stopped making enough insulin. Insulin is needed to help glucose get from the blood into the cells. So, since glucose can't get into the cells on its own, the amount of glucose in the blood (also called blood sugar) can get very high and cause health problems.
To fix this, a person with type 1 diabetes like Chandler has to get insulin through shots or an insulin pump. Chandler and other people with type 1 diabetes also have to test their blood sugar levels several times a day.
Chandler says, "I get my blood checked and a needle (an insulin shot) at breakfast, lunch, and dinner and whenever I want a snack and before I go to bed."
Chandler has already received more than 5,000 insulin shots since he was first diagnosed. Even though he gets all those shots, he's still not really used to them. Sometimes his mom and dad have to convince him to get poked with a needle. It's definitely not fun, but Chandler knows he has to get his shots to stay healthy.
Chandler's Day
Besides testing his blood sugar level and getting shots, a regular day for Chandler is a lot like every other kid's. The only big difference is that he always has to pay close attention to his diabetes. That means he always has to be prepared. He says, "When I'm not at school, I have to make sure I always have my diabetes bag with me and tell someone if I feel low." (Sometimes blood sugar levels can drop down too low in people with diabetes. If someone with diabetes starts to feel low, they might have a lot of different symptoms, including getting a headache or feeling drowsy, weak, dizzy, or shaky.)
A diabetes bag usually has everything someone with diabetes might need in case of an emergency. It's normally packed with insulin and needles, a blood glucose meter and test strips, and something sugary to eat in case blood sugar levels drop really low. Chandler takes his diabetes bag along when he's away from his parents or school, like over at a friend's house or on a field trip.
At school, Chandler does his classwork just like everyone else, but when it's lunchtime he goes to the school nurse's office to get his blood sugar tested. When it's time to eat, the cafeteria staff helps him pick out the best lunch choice. Then, after he's finished eating, he goes back to the school nurse's office for his insulin shot.
Everyone thinks the school nurse is really cool. There are about five kids at Chandler's school who have diabetes, and the school nurse helps all of them pay attention to their blood sugar and gives them their insulin shots. She has even set up a club called "Sugar Busters" where they all get to hang out with each other after school one day a week!
Teaching Others
Not only does Chandler get to hang out with other kids with diabetes at school, he's been going to camps sponsored by the American Diabetes Association since he was 4. The camps are held twice a year for kids with diabetes and their families, and they're a great chance for kids and families to hang out with each other. Chandler says, "They're a lot of fun! Especially because I can skate and swim, and also because I make new friends."
Chandler and his family do a lot to help find a cure and teach people about diabetes. They take part in most of the walks sponsored by the American Diabetes Association and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). Chandler says, "Me and my family raise money for the diabetes walks every year and we were the top fundraising family for our team for the JDRF walk in September (2005)." Chandler and his family even got a Golden Sneaker Award for raising so much money for diabetes awareness.
And if that's not enough, Chandler has also helped collect donations from friends and family, and has raised money by selling diabetes bracelets!
Living With Diabetes
Like Chandler, people with diabetes have to be more careful about their health and pay much more attention to what they're eating than most people. They also have to check their blood sugar levels a lot and get insulin shots. It's a lot of responsibility and the needles sure aren't fun, but Chandler still has a good time like every other kid.
If you ask Chandler what advice he has to give to other kids with diabetes, he says, "Don't be afraid to try new things. You can still have fun and do things you want to do. You just get used to it."

Pump Action
The pump-action firearm is fast and smooth. It allows the shooter to re-cock the firearm without taking his or her eye off the target. The pump action also is referred to as "slide action" or "trombone action."
- To open the action, slide the forestock to the rear, which extracts the cartridge or shotshell from the chamber and ejects it. Sliding the forestock toward the muzzle closes the action and readies another cartridge or shell for loading. A pump-action firearm will open only after it's fired or if a release lever is pressed and the forestock is pulled to the rear.
- To make sure it's unloaded, open the action, and check both the chamber and the magazine for cartridges or shotshells.

Hi .
Sorry for my English and for my question but Ive very big problem!!
This is my first question in this forum, but Ive a very big problem. Im writing a code for Borland C 3.1 that has a function with the following prototype:
The function take in input the 2 byte and wrote, in output, to a char pointed by ptr pointer a string:Code:Void Retrun_string (int byte1, int byte2, char *ptr)
Code:Char *other_string[25];
My problem is that in this fuction there are lots of string allocation (more than 64K), all string vector are of the type:
Code:const char *string[] = { string1, string2, stringN, }
Ive lots of this vector because I need to make lots of correspondence between the two bytes and the string. And I use this way for making an easier:
The problem is that I must work in a windows 98 space with a Borland c 3.1 (1991). I found on the web that with this kind of workspace there is lots of memory problem because this compiler (that works in MSdos emulation on win98) doesnt allowed more than 64k of memory. When I run my program Ive a runtime error in the memory that every times changed and is not periodic but very random. Sometimes my program run without problems, some times all the system crashed, like a MATRIX screensaver. I note that I wrote (random) in lots of parts of memory system for example so0metimes I wrote in the keyboard memory, or in the video memory or in the system memory. If Im lucky the system tell me that Im trying to access to a reserve and critical part of the memory.Code:Strcpy (ptr, string[n]);
I cant use an extern file for downloading on runtime the needed string. If I run the program with out my fuction (all the fuction commented) Ive not problems, nothing. If I run with the entire string vector commented Ive not running problem. I think the problem are the strings!
When I run my executable file on a winxp workstation Ive fewer problems but I must work on 98 systems . I tried to working with out a pointer in my fuction, but Ive the same problems. I tried changing with this other fuction:
I found on te web lots of people with memory troubles in Borland C, very similar to mine. Lots of people migrate to Borland 5 or made a file where put all the string, but I cant!Code:Static char string2[25]; Retrun_string (int byte1, int byte2) { . Strcpy (string2, string[n]); }

Princeton University alumnus Jeff Bezos, the founder and chief executive officer of Amazon.com, and alumna MacKenzie Bezos, are donating $15 million to the University to create a center in the Princeton Neuroscience Institute. The gift will establish the Bezos Center for Neural Circuit Dynamics, which will be led by institute co-director David Tank.
Jeff Bezos was an electrical engineering and computer science major at the University who graduated from Princeton with highest honors and Phi Beta Kappa in 1986. MacKenzie Bezos was an English major who graduated with highest honors in 1992 and a certificate in creative writing.
"Professor Tank and his colleagues are on an epic quest to unravel one of humankind's greatest challenges — understanding the brain," said Jeff Bezos. "New tools and techniques are making possible discoveries that would have been unthinkable just two decades ago. We can hope for advancements that lead to understanding deep behaviors, more effective learning methods for young children, and cures for neurological diseases. MacKenzie and I are delighted and excited to support Princeton in their focus on fundamental neuroscience."
Princeton President Shirley M. Tilghman expressed her thanks for the gift, noting that the Bezos Center for Neural Circuit Dynamics will bring the University's strengths to bear on a frontier of scientific knowledge that has far-reaching implications for the understanding of behavior and the treatment of neurological disorders.
"I am deeply grateful to Jeff and MacKenzie for so generously supporting this critical initiative," Tilghman said. "The Princeton Neuroscience Institute is grappling with some of the most fascinating questions in the scientific world today, and the Bezos Center will significantly advance our understanding of how the brain works by taking full advantage of Princeton's strong tradition of multidisciplinary collaboration, its pre-eminence in quantitative and theoretical sciences, and its leadership in developing scientific instrumentation."
At the Bezos Center, researchers will be looking for patterns of activity that reveal, for example, how decisions are made or memories are recalled. At the microscopic scale, the brain consists of vast networks of neurons that are wired together with synaptic connections to form neural circuits. Each neuron can have electrical and chemical activity different from that of its neighbors. As neurons become silent or active, the pattern of activity shifts. These changing patterns are called neural circuit dynamics.
The key to understanding how the brain works is to determine how the neural circuits across these networks represent and process information relevant to behavior. In the new center, measurement of neural circuit dynamics will be combined with complementary measurement of how the neurons are wired together with synaptic connections. The measurement of neural connectivity, and the mining of that data for knowledge about the brain, is an emerging field of research known as "connectomics."
"Advances in technology for measuring and manipulating the activity in neurons are revolutionizing our ability to examine how neural circuits operate in the brain," said Tank, the Henry L. Hillman Professor in Molecular Biology. "In parallel, new methods for 'connectomics' are capable of determining the wiring diagram of neural circuits. The new Bezos Center will focus on using these new technologies together to probe basic mechanisms of brain function such as sensory perception, memory and decision-making."
Tank also is co-director with Jonathan Cohen, the Eugene Higgins Professor of Psychology, of the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, established in 2005. The institute already has made significant contributions to the field by building on Princeton's achievements in quantitative and computational approaches, brain-imaging studies and microscopy. It has attracted a top-ranked group of faculty, and established an undergraduate certificate program and a Ph.D. program that are drawing students from around the world.
Work within the Bezos Center for Neural Circuit Dynamics will involve collaboration with the Princeton Institute for Computational Science and Engineering, a consortium of scientists and engineers who use high-end computing in their research. In addition, Princeton's theoretical and computational neuroscientists, who excel in producing mathematical descriptions of brain operations, will work side by side with experimentalists, who will test theories of brain function.
The home of the Bezos Center will be within a new complex under construction on the south edge of Princeton's campus near the Icahn Laboratory that will house the Princeton Neuroscience Institute and the Department of Psychology. The facility is expected to open in the summer of 2013.
Because of his pioneering work, Jeff Bezos was selected to speak at Princeton's 2010 Baccalaureate ceremony. He attended the service with his wife, MacKenzie, and spoke to the audience about making choices in life. "Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice," Jeff said.
"When you are 80 years old, and in a quiet moment of reflection narrating for only yourself the most personal version of your life story," he said, "the telling that will be most compact and meaningful will be the series of choices you have made."

Americans are spending increasing amounts of time hanging around virtual worlds in the forms of cartoon-like avatars that change appearances according to users' wills, fly through floating cities in the clouds and teleport instantly to glowing crystal canyons and starlit desert landscapes.
Simply fun and games divorced from reality, right?
Not necessarily so, say two social psychologists from Northwestern University who conducted the first experimental field studies in the virtual world.
They found that avatars in these elaborate fantasylands responded to social cues to help one another — and revealed racial biases – in the same ways that people do in the real world.
"Is It a Game? Evidence for Social Influence in the Virtual World" was published online in the journal Social Influence; the study's co-investigators are Northwestern's Paul W. Eastwick, a doctoral student in psychology, and Wendi L. Gardner, associate professor of psychology and member of Northwestern's Center for Technology and Social Behavior.
In both of the classic social psychology experiments used for the study, one avatar tried to influence another to fulfill a request.
The way the door-in-the-face (DITF) experiment works: the experimenter (in this case an avatar) first makes an unreasonably large request to which the responder is expected to say no, followed by a more moderate request.
As expected, the avatars — similar to people who participated in the same experiment in the real world — were more likely to comply with the moderate request when it was preceded by the large request than when the moderate request was presented alone. They exhibited a psychological tendency to reciprocate the requester's "concession": the change from a relatively unreasonable request to a more moderate request.
The experiment's moderate request: "Would you teleport to Duda Beach with me and let me take a screenshot of you?" In the DITF condition, that request was preceded by a request of the avatar to have screenshots taken in 50 different locations — requiring about two hours of teleporting and traveling.
In one of the most striking findings, the effect of the DITF technique was significantly reduced when the requesting avatar was dark-toned. The white avatars in the DITF experiment received about a 20 percent increase in compliance with the moderate request; the increase for the dark-toned avatars was 8 percent.
"For decades, research has shown that the outcome of that reciprocity-inducing technique is affected by how the requester is perceived, whether a person — or in this case an avatar — is deemed worthy of impressing," said Gardner.
The finding is consistent with studies in the real world as well as the few in the virtual world that clearly demonstrate that physical characteristics, such as race, gender and physical attractiveness, affect judgment of others.
The study was conducted in There.com, a relatively unstructured online virtual world that brands itself as an online getaway where users can hang out with friends and explore an immense and unusual landscape.
Even in the surreal environment, users, who were unaware that they were part of a psychological study, succumbed to very down-to-earth effects of social influence.
"You would think when you're wandering around this fantasyland, operating outside of the normal laws of time, space and gravity and meeting all types of strange characters, that you might behave differently," Eastwick said. "But people exhibited the same type of behavior — and the same type of racial bias — that they show in the real world all the time."
Numerous studies done in the real world show that people are more uncomfortable with minorities and are less likely to help them.
The study also employed a foot-in-the-door (FITD) technique to boost compliance to the moderate request to be teleported to Duda Beach to participate in a screenshot. Opposite of the door-in-the-face technique, an avatar was first asked to comply with a small request (Can I take a screenshot of you?) followed by the moderate request. The psychology behind this technique is that a person who does a small favor for a stranger is likely to see himself or herself as being helpful and be more likely to fulfill the following larger request. In this case, the skin tone of the requesting avatar didn't matter, because the elicited psychological effect is related to how a person views herself, and not others.
In at least one sense, worries may be inflated about virtual world users spending too many hours alone at their computers, cut off from reality.
"This study suggests that interactions among strangers within the virtual world are very similar to interactions between strangers in the real world," Eastwick said.
The study suggests that users in online virtual environments routinely extend their social selves to inhabit their online avatars.
"People are increasing the amount of social interaction that takes place online, whether through participation in virtual worlds or other online communities or even just social networks like Facebook or Twitter," Gardner said. "And all these environments present potentially fertile testing grounds for new psychological theories."

Discover the black sheep in your family tree with these fascinating legal, criminal and institutional records.

The crime records often include details of the victims as well as the criminals, and occasionally police photographs of your wayward relatives.
This category contains records of your less fortunate Canadian ancestors. There are extracts from sheriff's records in Ontario as well as the history of a psychiatric hospital in Ontario. In addition, you may be able to discover your British or Irish ancestors who got on the wrong side of the law in prison records, or who were victims of poverty or mental illness in asylum and workhouse registers. The Crime, Prisons & Punishment record set may reveal not only your ancestors who committed the crime, but also those who were victims of crime. In addition, you may find out if your ancestors went bankrupt in the Bankrupt Directory 1820 – 1843.
The main records you'll come across in our Institutions & Organisations category concern legal and criminal proceedings. These records usually contain excellent detail, making them extremely valuable when you research your family history.
With much stricter laws in the past compared to today, many of your Irish ancestors would have spent time in prison, sometimes for the most minor crimes. Drunkards, thieves and murderers feature heavily in The Irish Prison Registers 1790-1924. These records contain vivid detail about prisoners that you won't find in other records, making them equally as enthralling as they are shocking.
The Irish Petty Session Court Registers are an excellent window into small-town life in nineteenth century Ireland. These courts dealt with civil cases and the records contain everything from trespassing to cross-dressing. The Petty Sessions records often fill an important gap in your family history, for a time when other Irish records do not exist.
Included in this record collection are more than 1.3 million workhouse registers, prison records, asylum registers, and quarter sessions, and the Bankrupt Directory 1820 – 1843. Until 1869, insolvent debtors could face prison terms, and this directory reveals the names of those bankrupt individuals whose names were published in The London Gazette. The Crimes, Prisons & Punishment collection contains over 500,000 records of criminals who passed through the justice system in England and Wales from 1770 to 1934, both as criminals and as victims of crime. The justice system was much harsher in Britain in the past, with severe penalties for minor acts like stealing apples. The types of crimes people were locked up for can also tell us a lot about society at the time; for example, a woman was sentenced for "unlawfully concealing the birth of her infant child". These records often include black and white photographs of your ancestors who committed crimes.
Our Institutions & Organisations section contains over 660,000 records from Australia and New Zealand. Included in this category are police gazettes, Supreme Court records, parliamentary papers and jury rolls, as well as quarantine admission registers, old age pension lists and hospital admission records. Police Gazettes are a valuable resource for your family history research, and despite what many people mistakenly presume, they do not only contain criminals! Victims of a wide variety of crimes (such as theft, embezzlement and even wife desertion) are also included; as well as missing persons (including children), inquests, and people reported dead for whom no relative could be found.
Like other police gazettes, the South Australian Police Gazette 1880 contains a wealth of useful information including promotions, demotions, discharges, resignations and deaths relating to the police force. There are often physical details on persons (missing, wanted or released), with everything from basic details to descriptions of clothing worn - a great way to form a more realistic picture of your ancestors! Information is also given on housebreak-ins, robberies, arson, murders, deserted seamen, warrants issued, prisoners discharged, missing friends, lost and found items and more.

We'll take the headache out of choosing the right surveillance system for your business.
Choosing from the vast amount of surveillance systems available on the market today can be overwhelming to anyone. There's different brands, sizes, and resolutions, along with a lot of options to choose from like motion and light detection.
You want to make sure that when choosing a digital surveillance option that you're not wasting money by purchasing unnecessary equipment, while at the same time, not inhibiting your ability to gain the security you are after. As with many of your technology needs, InTegriLogic can assist you with this. We've had enough experience in the industry to properly filter through the do's and don'ts, while still keeping future expansion in mind.
Technology at Its Best
Don't risk your organization's security with antiquated technology.
While CCTV cameras were good when they first came out, they are now a thing of the past. They are notorious for their poor quality, especially the farther away the camera is from the object they are capturing. It was fortunate to get a decent face shot, if ever you needed it, because the resolution in video capture was so shoddy.
With today's advancements in digital photography, blurriness is a thing of the past. Some high-resolution cameras are able to see the text on a receipt from 30 feet away, if not better. With a Digital Surveillance solution from InTegriLogic, you'll never have to worry about not being able to "see" the scene clearly. It will be as if you were there, watching it happen.
Control Over Your Security
Gain complete control over your surveillance and be able to access it from anywhere.
How would you like to eliminate the need to purchase and store your video tapes on a continual basis? Digital cameras and digital video recorders (DVR) take tapes right out of the equation. The digital cameras are constantly on and broadcasting to the DVR. The DVR sends its recordings over your secure network to your server where the files are then stored.
With built in analytics, your DVR can be programmed to only record when certain events are triggered, such as when an alarm goes off, motion is detected, specific times, etc. This allows you the complete control over the image, and thus, the file size. You can also log into the system and access live footage remotely on your mobile device. InTegriLogic will be sure to go over all the options and consult with you on best practices for your business.
For more information about our security camera solution, or how InTegriLogic can present you with options to keep your business safe, call us today a (520) 545-0691.
