The building, officially known as 650 Elm St., along with its expo center, 1,000 car parking garage and adjacent Radisson Hotel, make up the Center of New Hampshire, the state's largest mixed use development, according to Tom Farrelly with Cushman Wakefield, leasing agents.

By 2011, the insurance company had consolidated its operations on the sixth floor, and decided to sell. "It was a challenging time to sell because there were so many vacancies Adidas Prophere Undefeated Uk
The health insurance company moved in on April 6, 2012, with approximately 50 employees occupying the newly constructed New Hampshire regional office.
The building has only had two owners in its 28 year history the original builder, JPA Management, headquartered in Braintree, Mass., and North American Specialty Insurance, a Swiss company that bought the building from JPA for $8 million in 1992 and occupied the top two floors for years.
at the time," said Farrelly. JPA bought the building back for $8.6 million, just as Harvard Pilgrim Health Care was preparing to occupy the seventh floor.
The dated 1980s look was replaced with a modern, metropolitan design that McDonald said now gives the Center of New Hampshire one of the city's more contemporary interiors. "It's drawing people who are more used to Boston or metropolitan spaces, and want a more urban feel," she said.
"JPA saw what the designers had done for Harvard Pilgrim and said, 'This is the direction we'd like to take with the rest of the spaces,'" Farelly said.
A digitally enhanced and custom colored aerial photograph of Manchester, with the Center of New Hampshire strategically located dead center, covers most of one wall, dominating the hallway that connects the office tower lobby to the expo center.
MANCHESTER The current occupancy rate of 75 percent is the lowest in the history of the Center of New Hampshire office tower, but a $575,000 face lift at the downtown landmark has the owners hoping to attract more tenants in what they see as a warming market for commercial real estate.
Old, dark carpets and block glass were replaced with contemporary bright colors and clear windows to let the light in and expose the views. "A lot of what we did was bring in the Nike Uptempo Camo
In addition to Harvard Pilgrim and NAS, major tenants include TD Ameritrade, Metropolitan Life and Parsons Brinckerhoff, a global engineering Nike Vapormax Plus Photo Blue and construction firm.
The new lobby and common areas were on display for commercial brokers at a reception on March 14, as leasing agents for the seven story office complex touted the results of construction that began in October, including a remodeled atrium, fresh paint and carpeting throughout, new lighting and more windows from which to enjoy the expansive views.
McDonald presided over the creation of contemporary office space that became the template for the rest of the building.
The 45 to 50 real estate agents and local dignitaries who showed up for the March 14 event were impressed, said Farelly, "This has completely transformed how this building is perceived in the market.".
Nearby, a new cafe serves customers who can take their meals to high top tables or lounge areas in the lobby, where white columns rise to the second floor ceiling in an open atrium that features orange, decorative light fixtures suspended on long cables.

The Hidden Most Powerful Survival Muscle
When This Muscle Is Healthy We Are Healthy
The hip joint is reinforced by four ligaments, of which three are extracapsular ev and one intracapsular.The extracapsular ligaments are the iliofemoral, ischiofemoral, and pubofemoral ligaments attached to the bones of t vhe pelvis (the ilium, oev ischium, and pubis respectively). All three strengthen the capsule and prevent an excessive r ioev ange of movement in the joint. Of these, the Y-shaped and twisted iliofemoral ligament is the strongest ligament in the human body.

Calling an Objective-C Method from a C++ Class
Let's say you have the following Objective-C class and you want to access it from C++:
@interface ObjC : NSObject - (int)someObjCMethod:(int)param; @end @implementation ObjC - (int)someObjCMethod:(int)param { NSLog(@"param = %i", param); return param; } @end
You might use the code in CppClass.cpp, shown here, for access:
class CppClass { public: int someMethod(int param); };
But if you do, you'll get a lot of compilation errors like these (from Clang):
… Expected unqualified-id … Unknown type name 'NSString' … Unknown type name 'Protocol'
A solution to the problem is to rename this last file from CppClass.cpp to CppClass.mm. This will turn the C++ class into Objective-C++ and will do exactly what you need. Both GCC and Clang will see the new file correctly and allow the interoperation to work as expected.

my whoosh is coming to get me!
I only suggested using whoosh as an energy changer when there was a row going on....no matter, your use made me smile
Regarding aiming too high.........well, my philosophy is that if you have to make a big jump, and you aim 5 miles, but then only succeed in jumping 4 and 1/2 miles, you can feel proud of the achievement of how far you've made it
If on the other hand, you know you got a big 5 mile jump to make, and you feel somehow incapable and only aim for 800 yds, but make it, when you land you can reward yourself at having made it easy, but you may be standing in kaka, looking 4 and a half miles ahead, and see me
Sorry, but I guess I'm just adventurous, and lay the cards on the table
The idea was to make people aware that there's a big task ahead, but lots of us, so no-one person need carry a burden
Do what you can, when you can.....it'll get done.......after all, it's not going away
So make your jump for yourself, but don't restrain others, as we aren't tethered together, and an aim in the sense of this project can be broken down into many smaller tasks, much more in people's comfort zones and together we can do it, if we have the will
I'm simply trying to give a bit of inspiration to get it started
bugs problems solutions etc can be collected in PLUG2 for now, as said earlier

Beem pointed out that perhaps the first thing you want is a scoping document/charter:
Perhaps get 3 or 4 of the more enthusiastic "members" (given that it isn't officially a "group" yet), and start carving out what you'd like PLUG to be.
I would nominate Aitch and PuppyLuvr as a start for some charter admins. You both have the enthusiasm, and experience with Puppy to guide the process.
It sounds as if WhoDo has volunteered as a Murga admin for the section.
I don't want any real role -- I don't really have the time to take on what I easily see this becoming. I will happily kibbutz on things, however.
I could see PLUG as playing a
huge role
, by simply collecting known solutions (e.g. my query about USB wireless cards). Identifying Puppy software repositories, and perhaps documenting what the software is, what it does, and which versions of Puppy it is known (or designed) to run under.
For example:
OK, I know what some of these are, but let's pick some at random...
What is:
(actually, I know what Deadbeef is...but its name sure doesn't tell you that).
If PLUG created a software index, pointing to these repositories, it would help noobies massively, and even help more experienced users.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I could see this as a lot of book-keeping.
Book-keeping on bugs, suggestions and wish lists would help the Devs.
Book-keeping on software, and hardware solutions/choices would help the users at all levels.
And it won't happen all at once, but the framework could be set up, and for example, users could contribute their knowledge to the software index. The admins could mark these contributions as "contributed" or "confirmed", depending on their level of confidence on the contributed statement. This would spread the work around, and the key librarians would just need to monitor.

a tip
complaining about problems is useless
listing errors that were encountered is helpful (or can be if done correctly )
my point on this is all the problems or things I didn't
like about "puppy" I
first investigated for a fix
*yes that means do something
if a fix wasnt possible to locate I fixed it
if I was unhappy the way something was working
I took the time to make it work the way I wanted it to
if current development models werent what I wanted
I developed the way I wanted it to go
(the point here is do something to find a solution )
some may see this as rebellion
I see this as progress
the dictator model is not or should not even ever imply
being dictator over the entire open source project
PLUG should only organize information to be useful
to all
not control it or guide it to only one version .... that would be just another form of manipulation and control and who needs that
something the way you want it to be
step up to the plate and do something
if you can edit web pages edit web pages
if you can moderate the forum moderate the forum
if you can build tools build tools
if you can test test
if you can do something else not listed do it
if you can only complain don't
@Jeff a side note this post wasnt directed to you but what follows below does
lets not forget about 2.14X
lets not forget anyone ... umm... with over 400,000 views I'm sure somebody has seen it
Jeff just keep doing it

Thanks for posting, however it's a shame you don't seem to have seen or understood my suggestion, here....
....else you'd have noticed I am DOing things
I DID list derivatives in a separate sub-section from 'Official Puppy', so popular derivatives like yours would be high on the list, and it is definitely NOT the intention to forget anyone, or any type of Puppy based setup - please add yours to the derivatives full list, (below)
If you're quick, you'll beat ttuuxxx, and the others
Mind you, it IS good to see someone else trying to motivate folks, even if our methods vary
Who exactly is complaining...?
raffy's post here, seems to have both diverted a few people away from the objective, and attracted a few moaners
I tried to gee up the nominee admins a bit, here, as John M asked for an agreed forum structure, not an alternate hosting site
amigo makes an interesting observation
But it all needs to be seen in context of the following -
Do-ocracy in action
puppyluvr has taken the initiative and set up a website for the 'Puppy Linux Documentation Project'
Announced in its own forum thread, here
Also, see the 'DEVs, who are you...' thread, here
There are 45 DEVs listed so far, but only one joke reply
Also for the DEVs - Kudos
For everyone, including DEVs, Top5s
Derivatives - full list
There is PLUG2 for information about fixes that anyone can add
and another puppyluvr initiative, PUG, when a certain admin was deleting threads in the original PLUG forum section set up by ttuuxxx
If you come across those 3 or 4 more enthusiastic members who didn't leave or get given the heave-ho for upsetting forum mods or admin....please send them along....I could use the extra help
So far the position is that I have made
the only suggestion for a forum structure,
(see above) and asked for people to comment/modify/add to/detract from....
so we can get 3 nominee admins to agree it.
......yet all that's happened so far is people asking for more - from charters, road maps, to mind maps, to anything except anywhere near an agreement that John can implement,
so folks can get on with it..........
Thanks for supporting myself and puppyluvr, and if you spot any other positive posts, I'll gladly add them
I'm still waiting for nominee admin comment on the proposed structure, or an alternate 'vision' for the future growth of the forum that might inspire a few people...
Just DO it!

The creative projects Joe and countless others have worked on were done in free and fairly unrestricted environment. None needed the "dictator model" Joe referred to in order to be creative. I certainly don't conceive of any reason to implement such a thing. Although, I do question why anyone thinks they need such powers.
(For anyone not familiar with this, the request for the PLUG includes the request for extra moderators who will have absolute ownership of the section who will implement absolute rules)
A lot of us think the peer-to-peer relationship is a key reason why open source software is such successful a model. I think some people won't welcome the new model and for good reason.
And lastly, of course the PLUG will extend power to the other sub-forums on this site.

The reason that the moderator structure was proposed for the PLUG was to insure that a rogue moderator could not alter, delete or move posts based of whatever agenda the rogue used, rather than a clear and public set of rules.

Is there any value in collecting data about a test coverage for new releases, maybe with "known issues".
It would require a database with test volunteers, including list of machines/configurations they would be able to test on.

I think it would be valuable. Developers don't have a broad array of hardware to test on, or the time to do all the testing. Test by releasing software and wait for bugs and problems to come back.

Post subject: way to give optimism to puppy
Oh, sorry I belatedly found out that there was this debate.
But I would add that I appreciate that Puppy Linux has continued to exist since 2011, despite the difficulties to continue with the same joy and creativity that took until 2011.
Moreover, regarding the group PLUG there, I think Puppy Linux is not the only free technology organization that has chosen that path.
I see for example that opensourceecology.org is also a very interesting and creative organization, and like puppy, also recognizes its internal operating problem: http://forum.opensourceecology.org/discussion/1004/why-is-ose-so-quiet-lately
Having the ability to recognize the internal problems and also have the ability to explain it publicly, speaks about our strength as an organization and also its human and natural quality, since most of the organizations, especially companies, rely on the secret as a way to defend the rest of the people, because they tend to see others as enemies.
Regarding the future, I recommend the link between free culture organizations, and its worldwide promotion. It is a way to draw, and we should encourage this union through international events such linking people dedicated to hardware and free software.
I leave a nice song:
Original text:
Oh, lamento haberme enterado tardíamente de que existiera este debate.
Pero quisiera agregar que agradezco que Puppy Linux haya seguido existiendo desde 2011, a pesar de las dificultades para continuar con aquella alegría y creatividad que tuvo hasta 2011.
Por otra parte, respecto de que exista el grupo PLUG, creo que Puppy Linux no es la única organización de tecnología libre que ha optado por ese camino.
Veo por ejemplo que opensourceecology.org también es una organización muy interesante y creativa, y al igual que puppy, también reconoce su problema interno de funcionamiento:
El tener la capacidad de reconocer los problemas internos y el tener también la capacidad de explicarlos públicamente, habla de nuestra fortaleza como organización y también de su cualidad humana y natural, ya que la mayoría de las organizaciones, y especialmente las empresas, confían en el secreto como forma de defenderse del resto de las personas, porque tienden a ver a las demás personas como enemigos.
Respecto del futuro, recomiendo la unión entre organizaciones de la cultura libre, y su fomento a nivel mundial. Es un camino a trazar, y deberíamos fomentar esta unión mediante eventos internacionales que unan por ejemplo a las personas dedicadas al harware y software libre.

You know those museums that are really quiet and you can't touch anything? These are definitely not those museums. Take the Boston Children's Museum. It's one-of-a-kind, world-renowned center for enrichment. But the kids don't care about that. They just like that it's as fun as a barrel of monkeys. The Museum of Science has scary dinosaurs, loud electric bursts, and an Imax screen the size of a basketball court, and it's still extremely educational. The Kidspace at Mass MoCA has really mind-blowing art, including some uniquely interactive work. At the Discovery Museums in Acton, kids can bounce a ball three stories high or engineer their own train track. Of course, if your family loves those quiet museums, we have plenty of those too.

Dusty looked back and forth at his handler and the person walking toward the police officer. He waited to see if there was any danger before approaching the person to smell and check to ensure everything was OK.
Dusty's handler, Cortez K9 officer Frank Kobel, told the person to remain still while Dusty conducted his work.
Dusty is the city's Police K9 Officer and has been on the job since 2009. A major part of his job is to protect his handler at all times.
Since Dusty became a member of the police department, Kobel has had to deploy him 195 times, and the K9 has also been a part of 64 arrests.
Local police officers are often accompanied by dogs while on duty, and the K9s have also been trained and sometimes provided to help law enforcement.
The Cortez Police has one police K9, while the Montezuma County Sheriff's Office has two such canines. Other police agencies based in Montezuma County also have K9s to assist them with their work.
Montezuma County Sheriff Dennis Spruell has been a dog trainer and handler for 13 years.
Spruell said when he moved from the city police department to the sheriff's office, K9 Basin, who Spruell trained, came with him as well as the dog's handler,'
The sheriff's office second K9, Viko, was trained in Southern California.
Spruell said the K9s are extremely important and are able to track and even apprehend fleeing suspects.
"They are a fantastic tool, and we absolutely love them," Spruell said.
Several years ago while a member of the Cortez Police Department, Spruell sent Lobo, his K9, into Slaven's Hardware where a burglary had occurred. Lobo was shot and killed.
Kobel said Lobo possibly saved the lives of several officers that day.
K9s are used for locating narcotics, offer protection for the officer and are also used for searches due to their keen sense of smell.
Like almost all police K9s, the Montezuma County police dogs are handled by just one handler. The dog goes home with the officer at the end of the work day because of the powerful bond developed between them.
Dusty was able to be purchased through the Police Dog Foundation, and Kobel said the department wouldn't have the dog otherwise.
Dusty is a 6-year-old German shepherd that was hand selected and picked up in Germany by the California trainers who took him back to the Golden state to undergo police training.
Kobel also went through six weeks of training with Dusty. The training dealt with two phases — drug training and patrol.
When Dusty arrived in the county, Spruell worked with the dog and master, training them both on how to spot possible narcotic usage or possession of the drugs.
The commands Kobel gives to Dusty are not what most residents will understand — The German shepherd only understands German commands.
Kobel admits that he does not know the German language but knows about 20 commands he can give to his dog. Those commands may not be the exact pronunciation, but Dusty seems to understand them.
Some commands include "platz" for lay down, "blieb" for stay and "fass" for take hold of.
The K9 dog handler wants to dispel the notion that Dusty or any other police K9 are vicious animals that are constantly used for taking down suspects.
"We use them for their nose, not their teeth," he said.
Not any dog can be a police K9, in fact very few of them can handle the job.
Most police agencies use purebred German shepherds that must have the right temperament to be trained for police work.
The dogs are tested to determine what type of personalities they have.
Kobel said there are many places trainers visit to find the right fit for the agency and the K9, and added there is no set age where the dog will be retired to the home of their handler.
He expects Dusty to be by his side on the police force for at least four more years.
"If you have a whole litter of dogs, even the ones bred for this work does not necessarily mean they have the (traits needed) to be one," he said.
The dog must also have a good temperament when it comes to relating to people and other family pets. In Kobel's home, there are a few small dogs that Dusty lives and gets along with.
Kobel said when he begins getting dressed for work, Dusty gets excited.
"He knows the difference (between work and play)," he said. "They want to go to work."
He said the dogs know they will be rewarded, and that is key to get them to follow commands.
A police dog usually costs between $9,000 and $12,000 but that does not include the training and other things such as vaccinations.
"These are not your average German shepherds you find in your backyard," he said.
Kobel and Dusty make trips to schools and give demonstrations. Kobel confessed that the students are much more intrigued by his partner than they are by him.
In the elementary schools they give demonstrations and at the middle school, high school and the Southwest Open Charter School when requested Dusty is used to search for illegal drugs.
Kobel had to attend the initial police academy and also must complete a minimum of four hours of training a week to remain a certified K9 handler.
As Dusty sat in the back of the patrol car looking at Kobel and the person he was talking to, the German shepherd police dog was on guard and ready to act if anything were to occur.
The officer explained that the K9 was being very protective of his well being.
"You don't want to touch me," he said. "Touching me is not good."
Kobel also explained the police K9 handlers are commonly called Dad because they are in essence the father of and provider for the dog.
Even the patrol car Kobel uses is designed for a K9. Dusty rides in the back seat and the door reads: "Caution K-9."

HIV infection is diagnosed late in a substantial proportion of patients having an increased risk of clinical progression (AIDS, new AIDS-defining event or death). The currently recommended antiretroviral therapy has suboptimal activity in this setting and potent quadruple-drug therapy has not been sufficiently evaluated. Enfuvirtide may be an appropriate candidate as the fourth antiretroviral agent, regarding its activity, its parenteral administration avoiding gastrointestinal symptoms that often lead to interruption of treatment, the lack of pharmacokinetic interactions and the absence of systemic toxicity.
The aim of this study is to investigate, in a comparative intensification trial, the immunological benefit of adding enfuvirtide for 6 months to a conventional antiretroviral therapy in HIV-1 infected and severely immunosuppressed patients, naïve of any antiretroviral treatment.
We postulate that addition of enfuvirtide to a first-line antiretroviral therapy consisting in emtricitabine/tenofovir combined with either efavirenz or lopinavir/r may improve immunological restoration, measured as the proportion of patients with more than 200 CD4 cells per mm3 after 24 weeks of antiretroviral therapy.
|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections AIDS
|Drug: enfuvirtide Drug: emtricitabine/tenofovir Drug: lopinavir or efavirenz
|Phase 3
The purpose of this randomized, open-label study is to evaluate the immunological efficacy of two first-line strategies of antiretroviral therapy:
- emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate coformulated plus efavirenz (or lopinavir/r) intensified by enfuvirtide during the first 24 weeks of therapy.
- emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate coformulated plus efavirenz (or lopinavir/r)
Patients with lymphocytes T CD4+ cell (CD4)count below 100 per mm3, or CD4 cell count below 200 per mm3 and past history or presence of AIDS defining event and naïve of any antiretroviral therapy will be eligible. This multicenter study will enroll 220 patients (n=110 in each arm). The planned duration of the study is 48 weeks from the enrolment of the last subject.
The primary endpoint will be immunological success defined as CD4 cell count above 200 cells per mm3 after 24 weeks of initial treatment. The durability of this response will be evaluated and patients will be followed for 48 weeks.

Summer Technology Instructor, 3-D Printing
Passionate about working with and having an impact on kids? Believe the world needs innovators? Ready to have a career-defining summer? Especially excited to share your experience with 3-D printing through our Galileo Summer Quest program?
Lead Instructors are the staff most well-placed to bring innovation to life at Galileo. We believe that our approach to learning isn't merely a pedagogy-it is a tool that will help shape the worldview of future innovators. Lead Instructors interact with their curriculum-planning ahead, reflecting daily and viewing improvements as opportunities. Lead Instructors bring to life Galileo's curriculum, thoughtfully created by our year-round curriculum design team. They are our ultimate partner in consistently looking for new ways to bring the Galileo Innovation Approach to our campers.
We value having divergent thinkers who bring various experiences and viewpoints to the table at Galileo. We strongly encourage members of underrepresented groups to apply.
Galileo's mission is to develop innovators who envision and create a better world. We know it's bold. We also know that we can't achieve it without asking staff to be role models of an innovator's mindset-visionary, courageous, collaborative, determined and reflective. It's not always easy. Camp staffers work hard. Very hard. You can expect days in which there's a ton to get done and not a ton of time to do it. But part of what makes our culture great is that no one is too proud to complete any task that needs doing. Our camp staffers bring camp magic to life-for campers, and for themselves.
This isn't your average summer recreation gig. Galileans are expected to take ownership of their own performance and make this place better every day. People with a can-do attitude thrive here and those with a victim mentality don't. We manage to keep this level of performance expectation high in a relaxed environment; we take our work, but not ourselves, seriously.
Being a Galilean means jumping into action to bring camp magic to life. Depending on the day, that could mean donning a tutu for a skit, creating a gorgeous sign that highlights the Galileo Innovation Approach, or playing a board game with two campers to build connection. You've got to know what it means to be a vital part of a team. You've got to want to grow. You've got to like to have fun at work. You have to smile-a lot-and you have to like to laugh. After all, we run summer camps. You get the point.
Position Description SHARED VALUES AND EXPECTATIONS
The camp environment is demanding, requiring intense dedication and work ethic from each staff member. Depending on the time of summer or the specific week or day, the needs of camp and resulting staff hours may vary. We seek and make offers to staff who we believe are capable of thriving in this environment and contributing to camp's success.
The camp day runs, on average, 8-9 hours for Lead Instructors. Lead Instructors typically work 7:45am-4:45pm.
General supervision, ongoing observation and evaluation is provided by your Camp Director.
The physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable people with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

Creating an Open Source Project
Recently, I announced on Twitter that I had started an open source project for a piece of software that I created (more on that later and in future blog posts). My original intent was to offer this software via a commercial license only (closed source), but as time went on I decided to share it as open source. In some ways this means abandoning all hopes of garnering license fees for the use of my software, but in other ways it means the following:
- The building of a community
- Greater exposure
- Lower barrier of entry
- Easier for developers to try the software
- Reduced risk if my little software company goes belly-up

All of these represent benefits to those who use open source software, and it could represent real monetary value to those who create it. This can be in the form of donations, consulting fees, service contracts, partnerships, or high-level employment. Either way, creating an open source project can generate opportunities for everyone involved; more so than if the software sits dormant on a hard drive somewhere. But where do you start?
Open Source Considerations
First, you need to consider the license you wish to use. This is an important choice not only because it dictates how your software can be used, but because it protects you as well. For instance, say you decide you want to "gift" your software to the world, and provide it free from any license terms or cost as public domain. This is very gallant of you, but it may leave you at risk if your software is used in some way that causes harm, or if someone accuses your software of malfunctioning. At the very least, you should enforce a license agreement that limits your liability, such as the MIT license, one of the BSD licenses, or the Apache license.
More restrictive licenses, such as GPL, have terms that make the license viral. This means that the terms of the GPL license apply to the software that derives from or even uses other GPL-licensed software. This is known as a "copyleft" license, and is a not a permissive free license like MIT, BSD, or Apache. Although the spirit of the GPL is to promote free and open software use, it does support commercial redistribution of GPL works under certain conditions. You should read the license for details.
All of these open source licenses, even free permissive licenses, contain language that limits your liability in the event that your software is thought to have caused some harm, in some way. To me, this was a very important fact to learn and remember throughout the open source process. Next, you need to decide where to host your project. Like open source licenses, there are many choices here. Factors that affect your decision include:
- Audience
- Terms and conditions
- Open source license support
- Source repository support
- Language support
- Ease of use
Popular choices include the Google Code Project, SourceForge, GitHub, CodePlex, Gna!, or BitBucket. Some restrict the license terms (i.e., Gna! is GPL only), while others restrict SCM (i.e., GitHub supports Git only — duh), and some are generally platform-specific (i.e., CodePlex by Microsoft for .NET projects). SourceForge and Google Code both block access to US-sanctioned countries (i.e., Iran, N. Korea, and so on), while others such as GNU Savannah do not, in the spirit of open access.
All of the services have restrictions of some sort, such as the amount of free storage, number of committers, provisions for private versus public projects, and so on, all of which you should consider before choosing. I personally opted for Google Code project hosting, as it supported a wide range of licenses, as well as Subversion, Mercurial, and Git repositories. It uses your GMail account ID as the login and email for communications, and since I already have a GMail account, this made the choice easier. Additionally, you can have up to 25 projects associated with each GMail ID, each up to 5GB in size, with very few limitations from there. Check out code.google.com to see if it's right for you. Just to be clear, I have no affiliation with Google or the Google Code Project, in any way whatsoever. I simply chose it because it met my requirements and allowed me to use my GMail ID.
Other considerations include the source code repository (as mentioned above), support for comments and discussion threads (forums), memberships with privileges (i.e., committers versus read-only users), site restrictions (i.e., does the host site claim to own the code in any way?), and the use of other software within your project. For instance, do you require or even include libraries with their own license terms? Do they match your license? Are you allowed to use and distribute them in an open-source project? You may need to contact the library author(s) to be sure.
Finally, make sure you add the appropriate comment header block to each file you post as part of your open source project. It should reference you via a copyright notice, the license terms, and "freedom from liability" clause. For example, I chose GPL v2, and this is the comment block I added to the top of each of my files:
/* * This file is part of * * Copyright 2010-2013 <Your Name or Company Name>. All Rights Reserved. * <Your Web Site Address, If Applicable> * * is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by * the Free Software Foundation, version 2 of the License. * * is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the * GNU General Public License for more details. * * You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License * along with . If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses>. */
Again, this is just a suggestion based on decisions I made. You should do some research and ensure that your file headers match your license terms.
My Project: JetStreamQ
For my open source software, I chose the Google Code Project, with GPL v2 licensing, and the SVN repository since it integrates well with most IDEs. I happen to prefer NetBeans, but it should work well with Eclipse, or any language or environment via other tools such as TortoiseSVN, uberSVN, or VisualSVN. Next, I added some basic documentation, uploaded the source code including the NetBeans project files, as well as a bundle that includes the binary files, license terms, and startup scripts.
You can check out my project at http://code.google.com/p/jet-stream-q. Specifically, the project is a Java Message Service (JMS) implementation (not 100% compliant) that supports enterprise messaging including clustering with no configuration required. It also has no dependencies on other JAR files besides the Oracle JMS API JAR, and is comprised of just one JAR file itself. Simple and easy to use, with no time wasted making it work. These were two very important items on my wish list of the perfect JMS provider, so I built one myself to meet them.
If you've read my articles and blogs here on Dr. Dobb's, you probably know that I have quite a history working with and writing about distributed systems that require enterprise messaging in some form. This software represents my passion and research on the topic. Making it available as open source only furthers my desire to share my learning with as many people as possible. Over the course of the next few blog entries, I'll explore some of the internals of JetStreamQ, and the design decisions made in the course of its development. It consists of multi-threaded, enterprise-grade, mission-critical Java networking code with lots of data structures, all of which should prove interesting reading material. I hope you enjoy it.
Happy coding!
