HPR Coverage at FOSDEM 2014 The following are a series of interviews recorded at FOSDEM 2014. FOSDEM is a free event that offers open source communities a place to meet, share ideas and collaborate. For more information see the website https://fosdem.org/2014/, where you can watch a recording of the many talks http://video.fosdem.org/2014/ Jeremy Allison ~ the SAMBA project For some reason my Zoom H2 failed to record this interview. Based on past experience I'm more inclined to blame the operator than the device so the audio is taken from the backup recording device, a Sansa Clip. As we say at HPR, any recording is better than no recording so any strange audio artefacts are a result of that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoom_H2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SanDisk_Sansa#Sansa_Clip From wikipedia: Jeremy Allison is a computer programmer known for his contributions to the free software community, notably to Samba, a re-implementation of SMB/CIFS networking protocol, released under the GNU General Public License. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Allison http://www.samba.org/~jra/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDP-11 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acorn_Atom http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/6502_Assembly Linus Torvalds interviewed by Jeremy Allison: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05pgVwzAZ6k http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinclair_QL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_Environment_Manager http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_68020 http://www.sun3arc.org/text/general.phtml http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Microsystems http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Compiler_Collection http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Windows http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_United_States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vantive http://www.samba.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba_(software) http://www.cs.rit.edu/~hpb/Man/_Man_SunOS_4.1.3_html/html4/pcfs.4s.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Tridgell http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_nt http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gpl

A quick introduction to timelapse video and some of the tools used in linux to help create them. cd to dir that holds the images Create a directory called resize and run "mogrify -path resize -resize 1920x1080! *.JPG" If you need to Deflicker your images place the script in your resize directory and run "./timelapse-deflicker.pl -v" This will create a dir called deflickered If you use mencoder to create your video you need to use ls and make a text file with the files listed in sequential order "ls -1tr | grep -v files.txt > files.txt" then "mencoder -nosound -noskip -oac copy -ovc copy -o outputfile.avi -mf fps=25 'mf://@files.txt' if you use ffmpeg something like this should get you out of trouble, though your files need to be named in sequential order starting with img(number 1 2 etc).jpg "ffmpeg -f image2 -i img%d.jpg -vcodec libx264 outputfile.mp4" Youtube links Milkyway http://youtu.be/VeGM7iEBUT0 Construction http://youtu.be/-9iCGD6Ielw Deflicker script http://tinyurl.com/p7ffof7

Why I built an Account Free Google tablet. Including links of what was done. Some basic criteria. No accounts created for downloading, installing or configuring except for mail accounts. No rooting. No pirated apps. Something that can be easy for a user to do including installing and updating apps. One ad supported app installed, but hope to find an alternative. http://james.toebesacademy.com/Account_Free_Android_Device.html
