Tomahawk 0.7 Released - A Ultimate Social Music Player for Linux. Tomahawk is a ultimate, open source and next-generation cross platform social music player that allows you to access music stored on your hard-drive (as any self-respecting music player does), but it also taps a wide variety of music sources such as SoundCloud, Spotify, Youtube and other music subscription services to organize everything at one place.
This fundamentally turns the entire internet into one music library. From there, you can share your playlists, search for media on a variety of services at once. Tomahawk also connects you with the other computers and friends on the network to share, view and stream your music libraries/radio stations via Google Chat, Jabber and Twitter. Open source communities meet their users needs. Image by opensource.com I have told the story of how FinTP, the first open source application for processing financial transactions, was born.
Here, I would like to present a deeper view on how the community is being built, its structure and governance and why I think people should join such communities. I myself am a founding member of two communities, the first being built together with my friends after our first bachelor party, from a desire to preserve our spirit of joy and good vibes. The second one is the open source community around FinTP, called FINkers United. Glances - An Advanced Real Time System Monitoring Tool for Linux. Earlier, we’ve written about many Linux System Monitor Tools that can be used to monitor performance of Linux systems, but we think that, most users prefer the default one that comes with every Linux distributions (top command).
The top command is real time task manager in Linux and the most frequently used system monitoring tool in GNU/Linux distributions to find the performance related bottlenecks in system which help us to take corrective actions.

The relentless commercialization of traditional holidays, not just the December variety but all of them now, means that what was ostensibly an occasion for celebrating your particular flavour of $deity, pagan ritual or just an opportunity to reconnect with your wider family, has been co-opted to the worship of the most pernicious of all cults, consumerism.
Concomitant with this is the increasing corporatisation of the Internet; the deliberate and seemingly ineluctable effort by a relatively small number of global interests to turn most of the Internet into something more like cable television. SIDUS—the Solution for Extreme Deduplication of an Operating System. SIDUS (Single-Instance Distributing Universal System) was developed at Centre Blaise Pascal (Ecole normale supérieure de Lyon, Lyon, France), where one administrator alone is in charge of 180 stations.
Emmanuel Quemener started SIDUS in February 2010, and he significantly cut his workload for administering this park of stations. SIDUS is now in use at the supercomputing centre PSMN (Pôle Scientifique de Modélisation Numérique) of the Ecole normale supérieure de Lyon. SnapRAID.

Dec 23, 2013 GMT Bruce Byfield Many technical writers believe that all they need are writing skills.
Consequently, my contracts usually began with a period of proving to developers that I could handle the technical details as well. Facedetect: Free face detection software. Marco Fioretti shows you how to download and get started with facedetect, free face detection and recognition software.
Automatic, face detection and recognition software is very cool technology. However, it can also be a Big Brother-style surveillance nightmare if turned on CCTV cameras 24/7 or a recurring annoyance whenever someone on Facebook tags you in photographs you didn't even know existed. Such momentous issues are outside the scope of this column, of course. I have other reasons to talk about face detection here. Open Source Search Engine. OpenSearchServer is a powerful, enterprise-class, search engine program.
Using its web user interface, the crawlers (web, file, database, …) and its REST/RESTFul API you will be able to integrate quickly and easily advanced full-text search capabilities in your application. OpenSearchServer runs on Windows and Linux/Unix/BSD. Search functions. InfiniSQL. Tent — All your data in one place. Mutter (software) OpenGL games run with a performance hit when using a compositing window manager; in June 2010, Phoronix evaluated this as similar for Mutter[6] and Compiz.[7]

Presto: Interacting with petabytes of data at Facebook. Using DSH (Distributed Shell) to Run Linux Commands Across Multiple Machines. Systems Administrators know all too well the importance of being able to monitor and administer numerous machines in a short time, and preferably, with as little running around as possible. Whether it is a small cloud environment, or an enormous server cluster, the ability to centrally manage computers is essential.
Your Cloud, Your Data, Your Way! Peer-to-peer. A peer-to-peer (P2P) network in which interconnected nodes ("peers") share resources amongst each other without the use of a centralized administrative system Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing or networking is a distributed application architecture that partitions tasks or work loads between peers. Peers are equally privileged, equipotent participants in the application. They are said to form a peer-to-peer network of nodes. Peers make a portion of their resources, such as processing power, disk storage or network bandwidth, directly available to other network participants, without the need for central coordination by servers or stable hosts.[1] Peers are both suppliers and consumers of resources, in contrast to the traditional client-server model in which the consumption and supply of resources is divided.
