The document discusses the Open IPTV Forum (OIPF) standard for internet-based TV applications. It notes that OIPF aims to establish a global standard to stimulate growth in the IPTV market. The standard incorporates existing technologies and specifications to create open, end-to-end IPTV specifications. It addresses application enablers and definitions to ensure interoperability across platforms and independence from specific devices or middleware. OIPF is already being used in large test deployments in Singapore and Taiwan.

This document provides an overview and instructions for setting up and using an Airliner Wireless Slate. It includes:
- An overview of the hardware components and features of the Airliner Wireless Slate.
- Step-by-step instructions for installing the USB adapter driver, establishing a wireless connection between the slate and computer, and turning on the slate.
- Information on using the slate tools like pointing and customizing the pen, function buttons, underlay, and tool strip.
- Goals and activities for gaining hands-on experience using the slate in educational settings.
Drupal began in 2000 as a small website created by Dries Buytaert and friends to share notes about a wireless network. It later became publicly available as an open source content management system (CMS) written in PHP. Drupal allows users to create and manage website content through nodes, which can be organized and displayed with modules, blocks, themes, views, and taxonomy. It has grown in popularity since its initial release and versions 6, 7, and 8 are used by millions of websites worldwide.
The document discusses different container handling systems including chassis systems, straddle carrier direct systems, yard gantry systems, complex combination systems, and lift truck systems. It notes the advantages and disadvantages of each system, such as chassis systems requiring a large area but providing easy access, while straddle carriers have flexibility but long travel distances. The document concludes by mentioning the time requirements for different equipment were ignored.
This document outlines a one-day workshop on Systematic Inventive Thinking (SIT) that is designed to introduce participants to key aspects of SIT methodology. The workshop will focus on understanding cognitive fixedness, applying SIT tools and principles to reach innovative solutions, and learning how to use SIT approaches in daily work. Participants will engage with theory, case studies, hands-on exercises in small groups using SIT tools like Division and Task Unification. The workshop costs $8,000 and includes program design, facilitation by an SIT expert, and copyright materials, but not travel expenses for the facilitator or venue costs.
Mobile VoIP is expected to evolve from niche to mainstream in 2010 as new services blend a range of IP-based features around mobile voice. These multifunction services will offer low-cost calls as well as additional functionality like one-to-many calling and voice-to-text. Their adoption could drive a fundamental shift in expectations for mobile voice and attract tens of millions of users by the end of 2010. However, mobile VoIP faces challenges from network restrictions and inconsistent quality that may slow its growth in 2010.

OCRFeeder is a document layout analysis and optical character recognition system that I wrote for my Master's Thesis project.
Like it says on its website, given the images it will automatically outline its contents, distinguish between what's graphics and text and perform OCR over the latter. It generates multiple formats being its main one ODT.
I think this is currently the most complete and user friendly OCR application for GNU/Linux out there and, of course, I wrote it to be used mainly with GNOME, featuring a GUI written in PyGTK and respecting, as far as I could, the GNOME User Interface Guidelines.
I would like to present how the application works on the inside, for example the page segmentation algorithm I created for it, etc. I think this would be interest for the GNOME community and general attendants of the GNOME Dev room at FOSDEM.

The document summarizes a study that evaluated the effects of different colored plastic mulches (black, white, red, silver, and blue) with and without spunbonded row covers on the growth and yield of summer squash. The study found that mulch color and year significantly affected soil and air temperatures, with row covers increasing air temperatures. However, increased temperatures did not always result in higher yields. Colored plastic mulches with or without row covers did not increase early fruit yield of squash. The lack of effect on yield was attributed to relatively high average air temperatures that may have masked temperature treatment effects.
We are in an era of chaos. Understanding how to harness the opportunities and bring delight to your consumer will be imperative to your brand's survival.
The document lists various "blank check" offerings conducted by Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP between 2005-2010. It provides details on each offering such as the company name, stock exchange, amount raised, underwriters involved, and date. EG&S acted as legal counsel for the underwriters or issuers on most of the offerings.
The document discusses streams API, which enables asynchronous I/O processing by reading and writing data chunks. It can pipe data between streams and supports automatic transformations. The spec defines ReadableStream, WritableStream, and TransformStream interfaces. It is useful for tasks like loading video segments or sending messages over websockets. The implementation in browsers uses JavaScript builtins tied to WebIDL to define the API in a maintainable and performant way while avoiding memory issues, though it requires care around security.
The document outlines the organization of the Creative Business Cup competition. It is organized by the Danish Ministry of Business and Growth and Center for Cultural and Experience Economy. The competition aims to highlight entrepreneurial talents in creative industries. It consists of both national competitions in participating countries and an international final in Copenhagen. Each country's National Host Organization is responsible for running their national competition and selecting a winner to represent them at the global final.

David Jiang presented InnoSQL, a new branch of MySQL that features a flash cache for the InnoDB storage engine. The flash cache provides higher performance than using an SSD as the durable storage alone. It caches both reads and writes using SSDs and employs techniques like merge writes and sequential writes to optimize for SSD performance. Benchmark results showed the flash cache improved throughput for the TPC-C workload by around 2x compared to using SSDs as the durable storage directly.
This document discusses MySQL high availability. It begins with some questions to consider regarding high availability needs. It then covers key high availability concepts and terms. The main part describes various MySQL high availability solutions, including replication, clustering, heartbeat with replication, DRBD with replication, and shared storage with clustering agents. It concludes by mentioning some additional solutions and resources for MySQL high availability.
This document discusses Oracle's open source policies and strategies around MySQL.
