1 like•505 views
The document discusses the GNU GPL (General Public License) and free/open source software licensing. It provides definitions of a software license and different types of licenses. The GNU GPL was created by Richard Stallman for the GNU project to provide four essential software freedoms: the freedom to run software, redistribute it, modify it, and redistribute modified versions. The GPL ensures that any software or works using it also grant users these four freedoms. Popular free/open source software like Linux, LibreOffice, and DSpace use the GPL to remain freely accessible and modifiable by users.

Icm Lecture
The document discusses the history and development of open licensing and copyright. It covers early copyright laws from the 1700s, the creation of various open licenses like the GPL and Creative Commons licenses in the late 20th century, and debates around balancing open sharing of content with author rights and commercial interests. Key events discussed include the establishment of copyright, the free software movement launched by Richard Stallman, and the growth of Creative Commons which now has over 100 million works licensed under its schemes.
FOSS & Society
The document discusses the history of how software was sold and distributed from the early 19th century to present day. It outlines key events like IBM beginning to charge separately for software in 1969 and Richard Stallman's launch of the GNU project in 1984 to create a free Unix-like operating system. Stallman believed software users should have four essential freedoms: to use, study, share, and modify software. This philosophy led to the creation of the GNU General Public License to ensure any versions or modifications of GNU software remained free to use. While open source software has similar goals, the document notes it allows some licenses considered too restrictive by free software advocates.
Open Source: A New Software Paradigm
We often miss out on the details of how open source and free software became prevalent as they are today. These slides used in a seminar session attempts to provide an overview of the history and development of free software and open source philosophy.
Also, open source licenses tend to be complex. See the factors that inevitably make them complex.

WP_Open-Source_Best_pratice_web
The document discusses open source software licenses and intellectual property protection when using open source software. It summarizes key open source licenses like GPL, LGPL, and MPL and how they affect proprietary software development. The document also describes how ACCESS Linux Platform is designed to allow both open source and proprietary software while protecting intellectual property through license isolation and the use of MPL for its application framework.
Open Source and Freeware
The document discusses open source and freeware software. It notes that Richard Stallman founded the free software movement in 1983 and created the GNU Project. Most open source software is protected by the GNU General Public License (GPL) which allows users to use and modify source code. Popular open source applications include Linux and Apache. The document also defines shareware as software available on a trial basis and freeware as free software that users cannot modify.
Open Source Community Structures
Open source community structures can take many forms, from a benevolent dictator model like Linux led by Linus Torvalds, to a committee-based model like Apache. Communication within these communities typically occurs through mailing lists, IRC, conferences, and code sprints. Contributions are often managed through pull requests and code reviews, and contributors may be asked to sign a contributor license agreement assigning copyright.

LIS Game Changer Trends and Profession Motivation by Muhammad Shafiq Rana
Makerspaces, digital scholarship centers, and flexible design are trends transforming libraries. Makerspaces allow patrons to create with tools like 3D printers. Digital scholarship centers provide resources for research using technologies like data visualization. Libraries are adopting flexible, modular furniture and bright colors to create welcoming community spaces. Collection assessment also focuses more on continuous review in response to curricular needs rather than one-time projects.
Library Publishing Through OJS by Dr. Muhammad Sajid Mirza
Library publishing through Open Journal System (OJS) allows libraries to partner with universities in publishing open access journals. OJS is open source journal management software that handles the entire publishing process, from submissions to publication. It is widely used, with over 8,000 journals currently using OJS in many different languages. Libraries can use OJS to partner with university presses and conduct their own journal publishing.
Information Literacy Instruction: A tool for promotion by Dr. Haroon Idrees
Information literacy instruction has transformed from purely personality-centered library services to a focus on technical services like bibliography, library orientation, and information literacy instruction. Information literacy instruction covers recognizing information needs, finding and evaluating sources, accessing and extracting information, using information ethically, and presenting it legally. The document argues that information literacy instruction can help promote libraries according to the third party theory.
Impact of IT on library Services with Best Practices by Muhammad Farooq
This document discusses the impact of information technology on library services and best practices. It covers how IT has fundamentally changed library operations from traditional to digital. Key impacts include moving from print to digital resources, card catalogs to online catalogs, and standalone libraries to information networks. The role of librarians has also evolved from selectors and organizers to facilitators, educators, and information filters. The document outlines some best practices Riphah University Library has implemented, such as developing a research repository, discovery system, query management system, and learning guides to support users. Metrics are provided showing growth in the library's services and resources from 2010 to 2016.

It provides examples of several national-level open access repositories and notes that while many Indian journals are hybrid, no Indian journal charges authors fees for publishing papers. It also summarizes statistics on the growth of open access repositories globally and in India.
Building strategic vision for librarians by M. Shafiq Rana
The document discusses building strategic vision for libraries. It defines strategic vision as perceiving where a library wants to be in the future and how it will achieve that goal. It explains that strategic vision can help libraries survive changing times by guiding decisions and satisfying users' and staff needs. The document provides qualities of a good strategic vision, including being achievable, motivating to staff, and reflecting future realities. It argues that strategic vision can reduce constraints, develop skills, and allow libraries to excel by meeting future challenges.
Building strategic vision for invisible librarians by Qaisara Riaz
This study examined the status of female librarians in Pakistan and investigated whether they experience invisibility in the workplace. A survey of 37 female librarians found that the majority had good educational backgrounds but were dissatisfied in previous jobs due to issues like discrimination, lack of recognition, and gender harassment. Most felt their work was undervalued compared to male colleagues. The study identified problems like fewer opportunities for female librarians and pressure to work under male supervision. Recommendations included educating all librarians on equality, protecting victims, and implementing laws favoring female workers to build a more supportive environment.

Microservice Teams - How the cloud changes the way we work
A lot of technical challenges and complexity come with building a cloud-native and distributed architecture. The way we develop backend software has fundamentally changed in the last ten years. Managing a microservices architecture demands a lot of us to ensure observability and operational resiliency. But did you also change the way you run your development teams?
Sven will talk about Atlassian’s journey from a monolith to a multi-tenanted architecture and how it affected the way the engineering teams work. You will learn how we shifted to service ownership, moved to more autonomous teams (and its challenges), and established platform and enablement teams.

Need for Speed: Removing speed bumps from your Symfony projects ⚡️
No one wants their application to drag like a car stuck in the slow lane! Yet it’s all too common to encounter bumpy, pothole-filled solutions that slow the speed of any application. Symfony apps are not an exception.
In this talk, I will take you for a spin around the performance racetrack. We’ll explore common pitfalls - those hidden potholes on your application that can cause unexpected slowdowns. Learn how to spot these performance bumps early, and more importantly, how to navigate around them to keep your application running at top speed.
We will focus in particular on tuning your engine at the application level, making the right adjustments to ensure that your system responds like a well-oiled, high-performance race car.
Measures in SQL (SIGMOD 2024, Santiago, Chile)
SQL has attained widespread adoption, but Business Intelligence tools still use their own higher level languages based upon a multidimensional paradigm. Composable calculations are what is missing from SQL, and we propose a new kind of column, called a measure, that attaches a calculation to a table. Like regular tables, tables with measures are composable and closed when used in queries.
SQL-with-measures has the power, conciseness and reusability of multidimensional languages but retains SQL semantics. Measure invocations can be expanded in place to simple, clear SQL.
To define the evaluation semantics for measures, we introduce context-sensitive expressions (a way to evaluate multidimensional expressions that is consistent with existing SQL semantics), a concept called evaluation context, and several operations for setting and modifying the evaluation context.
