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.

Linux adopts conflict resolution code

The Linux kernel development effort is a very personal process compared to “traditional” ways of developing software. Your code and ideas behind it will be carefully reviewed, often resulting in critique and criticism. The review will almost always require improvements to the code before it can be included in the kernel. Know that this happens because everyone involved wants to see the best possible solution for the overall success of Linux. This development process has been proven to create the most robust operating system kernel ever, and we do not want to do anything to cause the quality of submission and eventual result to ever decrease.

• On the Linux Kernel’s Code of Conflict

• kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git – Linux kernel source tree

Pull “code of conflict” from Greg KH:
“This file tries to set the rational basis for our code reviews, gives
some advice on how to conduct them, and provides an excalation channel
for any kernel developers if they so desire it”

[ Let’s see how this works ]

Chrome OS Switches To “Freon” Graphics Stack To Replace X11

Released this past week was Chrome OS 41 and besides having improved WiFi stability, updates to the guest mode wallpaper, and other changes, some Chrome OS devices have been updated to Google’s new “Freon” graphics stack. _Freon further removes X11 dependencies from Google’s world and will yield performance improvements in the future. Freon isn’t based directly on Wayland nor Mir.

Ubuntu To Make Amazon Product Results \’Opt-In’

But before anyone unpacks the party poppers in jubilation there are caveats to note: **Amazon results are not being removed entirely, **and the change is not going to take effect in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

• The headline is a little bit misleading. What actually is going to happen is that the next iteration of Unity8 will drop the concept of the \”Home scope\” in favour of a \”Scopes scope\”. That way, when you type a search term into the Dash, it\’s not a selection of results from different scopes that will surface, but a selection of scopes from which you choose the one you are interested in. So, yes, in a sense, that makes all scopes (and among them the Amazon scope) opt-in.

• OwnCloud adds $6.3M to its marketing war chest — Launches Enterprise Edition

And now the Lexington, Mass.-based company has $6.3 million in new funding, atop the $4.4 million it logged late last year, to close out its Series A round. The round was led by new backer Devonshire Investors with contributions from General Catalyst Partners, and current angel investors.

The company also released a new version of its software with support for Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) authentication and integration with Jive unified messaging. The latter illustrates ownCloud\’s ability to work with almost any file system, object store or in Jive\’s case — a set of REST APIs. That enables ownCloud to access an authorized user\’s files wherever they reside.

• ownCloud gets another round of $6.3 million funding, releases ownCloud 6 Enterprise Edition | Muktware

What\’s more exciting for clients is that the company has just announced the release of ownCloud 6 Enterprise Edition. ownCloud 6 Enterprise extends ownCloud\’s core integration capabilities in three tiers: storage, security and application integration. The storage tier extends existing out-of-the-box integrations, including a new connection to Jive, the enterprise social collaboration product. The result is enterprise-class file sharing and collaboration capabilities from anywhere, on any device.

• Linux user group – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Linux User Group or Linux Users\’ Group (LUG) or GNU/Linux User Group (GLUG) is a private, generally non-profit or not-for-profit organization that provides support and/or education for Linux users, particularly for inexperienced users. The term commonly refers to local groups that meet in person, but is also used to refer to online support groups that may have members spread over a very wide area and which do not organize, or which are not based around, physical meetings. Many LUGs encompass FreeBSD and other free Unix-based operating systems.
