This week we talk about how you can have a working web forum in 10 minutes or less & all open source! Last week we talked about team collaboration software, but what about when you need a wider approach?

In the news we talk about an open source router; Russia dumping Windows, more updates to video editing on Linux, a super special live unboxing & more!

Russia to Ban Windows from Government PCs

Another radical change that German Klimenko wants to achieve is replacing Windows on all government PCs with a Linux-based operating system developed by Russia. Klimenko also stated that there are already 22,000 municipal authorities ready to replace Windows with their own operating system.

Open Source WiFi Router with Open Source Code

Our goal is to let Geek Force Board with all popular open source systems and every one can use free open source codes, including OPENWRT, Android, Ubuntu Snappy to make their own Roboto Multimedia WiFi Router Gateway Board.

3 Mini PCIe Slots
WiFi
BLE
LTE
Quad Cortex A7 1.3Ghz

Geek Force Board is designed for IoT Home Multimedia and Home Automation. With powerful Quad-core ARM Cotex-A7 1.3MHz made by Mediatek MT7623, could reach below applications (including TOR, VPN functions).

We are engaged in WiFi field for long time and would like to go with IoT trend. More and more IoT devices need a powerful gateway to link together and with media content bandwidth need.

With those interfaces, you can contribute your own roboto multimedia router.

Hardware is difficult, and we also would like to provide good Open Source firmwares (OPENWRT, Android, Ubuntu Snappy core) tuned for more people to implement their own systems.

OpenShot 2.0 Beta Now Available

OpenShot 2.0 has a new beta build available for testing.

The update is the third full beta release of the revamped video editor but only the first to made available for public testing.

Among the features, fixes and improvements that are new in OpenShot 2.0.6: –

Smoother animations (zooming, panning, rotation)
Audio improvements
Autosave engine automatically saves your project at set intervals
Automatic project back-up and recovery
Support for importing/exporting Openshot projects across OSes
New Audio preview settings
Prompt when the application needs to “restart” for an option to take effect
Anonymous metric and error reporting enabled by default (can be disabled)
3 Years In The Making: OpenShot 2.0 Finally Hits Beta

It’s the first major release of the non-linear video editing tool in three years, and the first to arrive since the project successfully met its funding goal in the OpenShot Kickstarter campaign held in 2013.

We’ve seen the launch of professional-grade and pseudo-open source Lightworks video editor, huge improvements made to Qt-based Kdenlive, and even user-friendly Pitivi hasn’t been shy in pushing forward.

No one app suits everyone, and for this reason if no other it is great to see OpenShot back.

To install OpenShot 2.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 or later run the following two commands in a new Terminal window

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openshot.developers/libopenshot-daily

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openshot-qt

Android Phone Makers will Switch to Linux

Factory and deliver devices powered by Ubuntu.

The Linux shop has received commitments from Android smartphone and tablet makers to ship devices using its Linux with devices “later this year.”

Chief executive Jane Silber told The Register: “We are talking to them [Android OEM partners] regularly and many will be shipping Ubuntu phones. There’s a lot of interest from these folks in supporting another platform.”

The company announced the Ubuntu variant of BQ’s M10 Aquarius tablet last week. BQ, an Ubuntu partner of two years, also ships M10 on Android. BQ was already selling two handsets running Ubuntu.

Canonical is also partnering with Android partner Meizu, which is shipping the MX4.

Mozilla said last week it’s stopping production of Firefox OS for smartphones, having had enough of trying to play catch up despite having had the muscle of Telefonica to help push it. Firefox OS was a Linux-based operating system that ran HTML5. Firefox OS will now go on “things” – starting with UHD TVs from Panasonic.

She would not say which of Google’s partners, currently making and selling Android phones and tablets, that Canonical has talked to, or which of those will embrace Ubuntu. However, Samsung – the biggest single beneficiary of Android on smartphones since the Galaxy – has made repeated noises about need for an alternative.

To date, Samsung has backed Tizen, which started as LiMo and received Intel’s backing in 2011 when the project was given the Tizen rebrand.

Silber is also dismissive of the suggestion Canonical and Ubuntu haven’t exactly triumphed in their various efforts to flip Mac or Windows loyalists. The goal in 2011 was for 200 million Ubuntu users by the end of that year – but today that figure, according to Canonical, is just 30 million desktops.

“Five years ago people said, why do you need another Linux distro?”

SourceForge Acquisition and Future Plans

Our first order of business was to terminate the “DevShare” program. As of last week, the DevShare program was completely eliminated. The DevShare program delivered installer bundles as part of the download for participating projects. We want to restore our reputation as a trusted home for open source software, and this was a clear first step towards that.

Attic – Deduplicating Archiver

Attic: Deduplicating archiver that can mount your offsite encrypted backups over ssh

Submitted by kleptoz in the LAS Subreddit

Attic is a secure backup program for Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X. Attic is designed for efficient data storage where only new or modified data is stored.
Features

Space efficient storage Variable block size deduplication is used to reduce the number of bytes stored by detecting redundant data. Each file is split into a number of variable length chunks and only chunks that have never been seen before are compressed and added to the repository.

Optional data encryption All data can be protected using 256-bit AES encryption and data integrity and authenticity is verified using HMAC-SHA256. Off-site backups Attic can store data on any remote host accessible over SSH as long as Attic is installed. Backups mountable as filesystems Backup archives are mountable as userspace filesystems for easy backup verification and restores.

GOG.com Now Supports Linux!

So, one of the most popular site feature requests on our community wishlist is granted today: Linux support has officially arrived on GOG.com!

The first 50+ titles we’ve have in store for you come from all the corners of our DRM-Free catalog. Note that we’ve got many classic titles coming officially to Linux for the very first time, thanks to the custom builds prepared by our dedicated team of penguin tamers. That’s over twenty fan-favorite GOG.com classics, like FlatOut&Flatout 2, , Darklands, or Realms of the Haunting we’ve personally ushered one by one into the welcoming embrace of Linux gamers. That’s already quite a nice chunk of our back-catalog, and you can expect more from our dedicated Linux team soon

“OK, but how will Linux support actually work on GOG.com” – you might ask. For both native Linux versions, as well as special builds prepared by our team, GOG.com will provide distro-independent tar.gz archives and support convenient DEB installers for the two most popular Linux distributions: Ubuntu and Mint, in their current and future LTS editions. Helpful and responsive customer support has always been an important part of the GOG.com gaming experience. We wouldn’t have it any other way when it comes to Linux, and starting today our helpdesk offers support for our official Linux releases on Ubuntu and Mint systems.

The world’s most secure OS may have a serious problem

The Tails operating system is one of the most trusted platforms in cryptography, favored by Edward Snowden and booted up more than 11,000 times per day in May. But according to the security firm Exodus Intelligence, the program may not be as secure as many thought. The company says they’ve discovered an undisclosed vulnerability that will let attackers deanonymize Tails computers and even execute code remotely, potentially exposing users to malware attacks. Exodus is currently working with Tails to patch the bug, and expects to hand over a full report on the exploit next week.
