Dios es un Dios de orden, según se pone de manifiesto en las obras de la creación y la redención. En consecuencia, el orden es parte esencial de su Iglesia. El orden se logra mediante principios y normas que guían a la Iglesia en sus actividades internas y en el cumplimiento de su misión en el mundo. Para que sea una organización eclesiástica eficiente al servicio del Señor y de la humanidad, precisa de orden, gobierno y disciplina. Las Escrituras afirman que «todo debe hacerse de una manera apropiada y con orden» (1 Cor. 14: 40, NVI).

Open source software is software that can be used for any purpose by anyone without the need to negotiate with the rights holders. Open standards on the other hand are standards created in a process accessible on the same terms by everyone, but potentially with Standard-Essential Patents (SEPs) associated and with fees to even read the standard. While the potential of both “Opens” is strong, in reality there is an underlying conflict between them that is growing in importance as the business of traditionally SEP-centric companies relies more and more on software. This talk will explain the issues, suggest ways to address the conflict and outline work OSI is doing on behalf of the open source community.
This paper provides a short introduction to the Open Source Model. It explains the most important aspects of Open Source Licensing as well as the Innovation Model at the foundation of Open Source.

Search in WordPress - how it works and howto customize itOtto Kekäläinen
WordPress search customization is a topic we at Seravo get asked about on a frequent basis. There are many different ways to customize the search, and customers understandably want to learn the best practices. The search can be customized quite easily with small changes on PHP code level, and by utilizing MariaDB database’s built-in search functionality. You can also choose a more robust way to do this, and build a new ElasticSearch server just for your case.
These slides are from the webinar on January 14th, 2021: https://seravo.com/blog/webinar-search-function-and-how-to-customize-it/

DebConf 2020: What’s New in MariaDB Server 10.5 and Galera 4?Otto Kekäläinen
MariaDB has now reached the 10th major release since the original authors of MySQL started taking the code base in another direction than where MySQL is going under Oracle’s ownership. Today MariaDB has many more features than Oracle MySQL and it is the default MySQL variant in Debian.
This presentation covers what new features landed in MariaDB 10.5 and also touches on how the long existing features have evolved to today, and naturally what is their state and best practices for Debian users. MariaDB has also built-in support for Galera master-master replication and Galera 4 has recently landed in Debian, so it will also be covered.

Improving WordPress Performance with Xdebug and PHP ProfilingOtto Kekäläinen
Presentation given at WordCamp Europe 2017 in Paris 2017-06-16.
Xdebug is a tool for developers to gain insight into how PHP is executed. Using it for profiling is a very effective, fast and precise method to find bottlenecks in your WordPress site. In this talk I explain how to use it with Webgrind, how to find potential optimization targets, show examples of real cases when Xdebug helped fix a performance problem and also explain what Xdebug is not suitable for and what can be used instead. If you are not a developer, you’ll learn what Xdebug is capable of and when to ask a developer to use it.
MariaDB adoption in Linux distributions and development environmentsOtto Kekäläinen
Presentation given at the M|17 MariaDB User Conference 2017
https://m17.mariadb.com/
Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP used to be the most widely used web application stacks. As technology evolves, this is no longer the case. For the M part, MariaDB has replaced MySQL in numerous Linux distributions and development environments, and is becoming the new M in most production environments as well. This talk presents how the landscape looks today, and why and how web developers are migrating to MariaDB around the globe.

how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.

to consider in the future:
Dirty tactics against LibreOffice in public administration, and how to overcome them 12
13. 1) Define the procurement by
functionalities and standards. Do not
request specific products or require certain
brands. This allows any vendor to take
part on free market principles.
Dirty tactics against LibreOffice in public administration, and how to overcome them 13
14. 2) Procure for long enough periods, eg. 4
to 6 years, so that there is enough time to
plan and execute a change of vendor.
Buying new systems from the old vendor
just because there is not time to migrate is
not an acceptable excuse.
Dirty tactics against LibreOffice in public administration, and how to overcome them 14
15. 3) Base price comparison on the entire
life span costs. Specifically include exit
costs that arise at the end of the life span,
when the vendor changes.
Dirty tactics against LibreOffice in public administration, and how to overcome them 15
16. 4) Make sure that the procured system is
modular and adheres to Open Standards,
so that there is always the option to
change the vendor for a module or that
completely new modules can be taken into
use and that they can access the existing
data.
Dirty tactics against LibreOffice in public administration, and how to overcome them 16
17. 5) Ensure unlimited right to modify the
software and have it delivered as source
code, so that there is independence from
single vendors. The original vendor does
not have to waive their copyright.
Dirty tactics against LibreOffice in public administration, and how to overcome them 17
18. 6) By favoring Free Software (also knows
as "open source") all above mentioned
requirements are easy to fulfill.

20. So far:
Hundreds of procurement notices read,
~25 letters sent.
Targeted education,
responses and discussion.
Some have adjusted their on-going
procurement but none one has completely
reissued their notice. Many have promised
to do take this issue into account in their
next procurement.
Dirty tactics against LibreOffice in public administration, and how to overcome them 20
21. Responses:
”We complemented an existing system”
”We know there is no other alternative”
”We are a procurement entity, we don't actually do
the decision, we just procure for reserve”
”We are so locked-in, we do not have alternatives”
”Requirements of service quality – due to e.g. law
– mandate a brand, and availability of support”
”Procurement periods should be max 4 years”
”Law entitles us to deny alternative offers”
”There are many distributors”
All excuses – no legally valid reason.
If lock-in really exists, then procurement should be
done using the direct procurement process.

Publicize illegal cases,
increase media attention and
