OpenOffice.org Performance Analysis - to improve responsiveness for older PCOsdev
A client with 1x,000 users has gradually migrated to OpenOffice.org for a few years. They found many complaints about the speed of OpenOffice.org compare to MS Office. This kind of complaint are familiar to us but the magnitude of the problems, e.g. open-file time in minutes seems rather strange. So we investigated the problems to find the kind and cause of them to reach a conclusion that could be use to improve the situation in our client case.
We found that the problem depends solely on hardware, notably RAM, vs. file size. Our client happen to have old IT infrastructure with a lot of old PC, e.g. Pentium with 256M RAM. Add enough RAM (>512M) and OpenOffice.org will run fine for files of average sizes. Add more (e.g. >1024M) to open larger files.
Here is the presentation of our finding.
- Nattudurai Palanichamy has over 10 years of experience as an Oracle Apps DBA consultant. He has experience implementing, supporting, and upgrading Oracle E-Business Suite R12, Oracle Databases 10g and 11g, Hyperion, and OBIA applications.
- Some of his key responsibilities include managing Oracle EBS R12.1.3 for BankMuscat, upgrading HRMS modules and international payroll configurations, and implementing custom modules integrated with EBS.
- He has experience on various projects for BankMuscat including Oracle EBS upgrades, data migration from Windows to Linux, implementing Hyperion and OBIA systems, and supporting Oracle Applications 11i environments.
The document outlines a 7-step process for migrating an organization from proprietary office software like Microsoft Office to open source OpenOffice. The steps include standardizing document formats and applications, assessing user needs, deploying OpenOffice, and providing training. It acknowledges challenges like document conversion issues, differences in capabilities, integration with enterprise apps, and managing organizational change. However, it argues migration is possible with comprehensive change management, good planning, continuous communication, support, and managing it as an "organization change" requiring buy-in from both leadership and users. Several Thai companies that successfully migrated large user bases to OpenOffice are cited as examples.
A lot of the discussions around serverless has been about the benefits it brings to the table with regards to DevOps - more infrastructure automation, scalability and resilience out-of-the-box. Developers love it because they can offload even more undifferentiated heavy-lifting to their cloud vendors, and they can focus their energy on building the things their users want. Businesses benefit hugely too because they have happier developers who can deliver value faster!
But the true power of the serverless paradigm, for the business, is the pay-per-invocation model. It allows them to finally understand the cost of user transactions, and calculate the return on investment of features. And if you embrace this superpower then it can even open the door to an entirely new business model built around pay-per-transaction and give your business the competitive advantage over your rivals.
OpenERP is a leading open source suite of business applications that is easy, modular, and affordable. It includes over 1,000 modules across key areas like CRM, human resources, point-of-sale, logistics, accounting, manufacturing, and more. As an open source product, it has a strong and active community contributing new modules at a rate of 50 per month. Companies use OpenERP due to its fully customizable nature without requiring heavy development, and its total cost of ownership is significantly lower than proprietary alternatives like SAP or Microsoft Dynamics.

Technologie als Motor, nicht als Mühlstein it für start-upsChristoph Raethke
This document discusses strategies for technology, applications, and infrastructure for startups. It recommends:
1. Mapping business needs to IT strategy to define capabilities and resource requirements.
2. Defining application requirements and ownership models, prioritizing buying existing products over custom development.
3. Choosing proven, mainstream platforms that can scale with the business over personal preferences or "hobby skills".
4. Designing infrastructure for growth with room for expansion rather than current needs alone. Outsourcing and cloud services are preferable where possible.
NuRelm provides open source software and services to help businesses build websites and online presences. The presentation covered many popular open source applications for desktop, server, development and collaboration/CRM/training/commerce uses. Applications discussed included Firefox, OpenOffice, Apache, WordPress and Moodle, among others. Criteria for evaluating applications included features, community, costs, reliability, primary supporters and license compatibility.
OpenOffice is a free and open-source office suite that provides an alternative to proprietary office software with several advantages: it has no licensing costs; uses the open document format standard for accessibility; benefits from a large community that rapidly fixes bugs; and is easy to use, upgrade, and distribute without restrictions. The document encourages downloading and using OpenOffice to experience these benefits firsthand.
This document provides information about cloud computing and Drupal cloud hosting providers. It discusses traditional hosting limitations like high costs, difficulty maintaining servers, and downtime issues. Cloud computing evolved to address these through virtualization, pay-as-you-go models, and automatic scaling. The document then compares top Drupal cloud providers Acquia, Pantheon, and Platform.sh based on their base cloud provider, uptime SLAs, pricing, support offerings, development environments, and other features. It concludes that while each provider has pros and cons, budget and client requirements should determine the best choice for a given project.

The e-commerce is one of the main points of modern software. The e-commerce sector is growing about 15% annually, which is why it deserves special attention from software engineers. Speaking of e-commerce and open source at once is not easy. For many years we have identified the concept with pain and despair, so we must work urgently to change the way we understand it should be. What are the important points to consider? Where do we find the line between architecture and pragmatism? Are we walking in the right direction? How can Symfony help in this?

The document discusses open source solutions for e-governance in India. It outlines the benefits of open source software such as lower costs, customizability, and independence from proprietary vendors. Open source is well-suited for e-governance in India due to its ability to support localization to many languages and its more secure and economical alternatives to proprietary software that are important for government systems that handle citizen data and services. However, adoption of open source faces hurdles such as a lack of policy and skills development.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
