Kelly Bundy strikes again!

Planet Debian, Planet Ubuntu Comments (2)

Kelly Bundy
No, they are not producing married with children again, and again no, there isn’t that Christina Applegate is involved on weird scandal or something. Is just that i’ve the Kelly Bundy syndrome again. What’s that? Remember the chapter where Kelly went to a knowledge contest and Al teched her to be prepared for the contest? Remember what Bud told his father when he started to tech her? “Every time you teach her something she will forget something else”. Well, being bleeding edge with the technology working in free software that changes every single day and you need to learn new things again every day produces this kind of situation when your brain get’s overloaded with information and you start forgetting things, for example i’ve just been told that i ask the same single question to my boss every day, i just keep forgetting that i asked, is frustrating! Again i need to calm down, take a deep breath and rest, my workaholism is playing on me again (i posted about same issue in the past, in Spanish). I need to aviod this, at least this time has been 1 and a half year without it!

Guadalinex-Edu Beta Announcement

Planet Debian, Planet Ubuntu Comments (1)

Guadalinex-EDU: New educational distribution based in Jaunty

Guadalinex Edu is a new GNU / Linux distribution developed by the Advanced Center for ICT Schools Management (CGA), initially created for use by the educational community of Andalucia, Spain which will be available for teachers and students within the domestic sphere. Guadalinex Edu distribution is equivalent to the future Guadalinex V6 citizen but oriented to the educational sector.

Looking for the highest possible level of stability in the distribution, the CGA will be releasing a beta version of the distribution, installable by anyone who wants it. The aim is to involve the educational community in the stabilization and development of Guadalinex Edu, before its deployment in local schools.

Guadalinex Edu Beta 1 is fully functional, but should not forget that this is a beta version which may contain errors from both: the applications included by the CGA in the distribution, and errors coming from the base distribution where it must be installed (Jaunty Jackalope Ubuntu 9.04), so it is not recommended for use in production computers and, in any case, it is recommend making a backup of important data before installation.

Within an ICT Center, Guadalinex Edu will take advantage of the network infrastructure and servers from the center to offer:

  • a system that allows any member of the center to become remote user of its data in any computer regardless of the dependence location in the center.

  • a system for transmitting multimedia content among computers in a classroom

  • a system of interaction between students and teachers via the computer

For domestic users, Guadalinex Edu is offered as a meta package to be installed on Ubuntu Jaunty and offers tons of applications like:

  • Celestia (space simulator)

  • Kstars (Planetarium)

  • Kgeography (Maps)

  • Parley (Vocabulary)

  • Squeak

  • DRAE Spanish Search tool (Lemurae)

  • GNU Octave

  • Kbruch (fractions)

  • Kig

  • KmPlot

  • KSeg (Geometry)

  • Mathwar (Game of calculus)

  • QtOctave (numerical calculus)

  • Freemind

  • Blender

  • Audacity

  • Festival GUI

  • KTouch (Typing)

  • Kompozer

  • Umbrello

  • K3b

  • Kino

Plus all the benefits of Guadalinex:

  • Spanish translation of many applications

  • Support for electronic ID Card

And Ubuntu:

  • A wide range of media devices support (kernel 2.6.28)

  • Firefox 3

  • OpenOffice 3

  • XOrg 1.6 , etc

Installation instructions for home users are available here(In spanish)

Updates

Planet Ubuntu Comments (5)

It’s has been a long time since i haven’t write a new post, so it’s going to be a bunch of updates of what’s going on and what have i been doing/plan to do:

Work @ Canonical
It’s has been almost 3 months working on Canonical and i need to say that is an awesome company, more than co-workers i feel like i have a lot of friends that share my interests, love the same i do and have passion for their work, a lot of really intelligent and funny people all over the company doing what they love: develop free software.
Also being in the OEM Solutions Group gives me the opportunity of working on an market that is still in development with the bleeding edge of technology reaching a lot of people working with the big companies, i just love to have the opportunity to be in such a nice company doing what i love.

Travels
I’ve been traveling a lot lately, long flights over the weekends meetings with a lot of nice people and having a lot of fun. I was on Latinoware and had an awesome time, meet a lot of ubuntu, gnome and debian people as well as other Free Software enthusiasts, it was a wonderful time in Brazil. Also and for work reason i’ve been visiting Boston a lot where i meet people like mako, ivan, Steve, sj and some others and had an awesome time with them.
Also it was nice to meet with some other canonical friends and make face-to-face work, have some beers and just talk about our plans and what we have been doing.

Jaunty
Jaunty repos are open and the development has started again, i will focus myself on having augeas on the shape we want it to be this summer (i’m a South American, so in a month) writing lenses, testing, and hopefully starting the development of a tool that uses it to manage the system and services, i will look forward to discuss about this at Fosscamp/UDS with the people interested on it.
