In this speech, Brad Kuhn, executive director of the Free Software Foundation, talks about his beginnings in the free software movement and gives concrete examples from his experience as being a proprietary software developer as to why free software is a far better way to make and sell software. It should be considered a excellent introduction to Free Software. In the question and answer segment, Mr. Kuhn discusses with the audience far ranging topics that effect the future of the industry such as the SCO vs. IBM Lawsuit, File Formats, and the DMCA. This speech was presented by the Free Software Society, a student organization at the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign dedicated to the promotion of Free Software

What’s in ChakraCore?

ChakraCore is a fully fledged, self-contained JavaScript virtual machine that can be embedded in derivative products and power applications that need scriptability such as NoSQL databases, productivity software, and game engines. ChakraCore can be used to extend the reach of JavaScript on the server with platforms such as Node.js and cloud-based services. It includes everything that is needed to parse, interpret, compile and execute JavaScript code without any dependencies on Microsoft Edge internals.

ChakraCore shares the same set of capabilities that are supported by Chakra in Microsoft Edge, with two key differences. First, it does not expose Chakra’s private bindings to the browser or the Universal Windows Platform, both of which constrain it to a very specific use case. Second, instead of exposing the COM based diagnostic APIs that are currently available in Chakra, ChakraCore will support a new set of modern diagnostic APIs, which will be platform agnostic and could be standardized or made interoperable across different implementations in the long run. As we make progress on these new diagnostics APIs, we plan to make them available in Chakra as well.

Guvernul intentioneaza sa aduca in administratia din Romania capacitatea de inovatie din IT si prin lansarea platformei GovITHub se doreste reunirea unor oameni din domeniu care au curajul sa dea o mana de ajutor in administratie, a declarat joi premierul Dacian Ciolos. Primul ministru a anuntat, la lansarea programului GovITHub, ca Executivul va oferi o bursa lunara de 2.000 de euro, pe o perioada de 6 luni, specialistilor din IT care doresc sa se implice in eficientizarea administratiei publice, unde este nevoie de capacitate inovativa care sa vina din acest domeniu, potrivit News.ro.

În tot ce construim, ne ghidăm după 3 principii de bază : Mobile first, cloud ready, open by default.
Alături de reprezentanți ai administrației, membrii GovITHub vor dezvolta proiecte IT care îmbunătățesc administrația publică si serviciile publice online sau vor concepe noi servicii si platforme pentru cetățeni.
