The second annual Open Source Bridge , held in Portland, Oregon, was a blast. I presented a talk on Foundations, Non-Profits, and Open Source and I participated in...
After installing several PPAs (Wine, PoL) and opening several files with other apps (Like changing from Totem to VLC) I discovered that the Open With option had 2 problems:
Many items on the list are duplicated (As seen on the image for "A Wine Program")
Sometimes the app I want to use to open is not shown there (For example, Virtualbox or VLC)
So how can I edit this list to clean the duplicates and add missing apps from the list.
<b>VoIP Planet:</b> "The Ubuntu Linux distribution isn't the only open source project with a long-term-support release on the horizon. The Asterisk open source VoIP PBX (define) project is moving ahead with its own long-term support (LTS) plans with its 1.8 release."
I use the Ctrl+Alt+T shortcut to open a terminal, but I cannot see how I can get it maximized. When I start it manually, I can simply do a gnome-terminal --maximize, but that does not apply for the shortcut. Even a changing of the .desktop files did not change anything.
Any way to let the shortcut open a maximized terminal window?
I use regular Gnome 2 on Ubuntu 11.04 with no compositing effects.

Le nouveau codec vidéo open-source fait son apparition dans une version développeur du navigateur
Jusqu'ici tout le monde était d'accord (sauf Apple) au sujet du WebM, le nouveau codec open-source issu du VP8 de Google. Mais une question de licence (lire par ailleurs) avait posé quelques problèmes pour le début de son implémentation dans les navigateurs.
Ces problèmes sont aujourd'hui et réglés et Mozilla tient p...
Linux and open source rule the wireless hotspot world, and Eric Geier has rounded up five excellent, feature-packed open source wireless hotspots for us.
<b>LWN.net:</b> "Konstatin Dmitriev's Morevna Project is to 2-D animation what the Blender Foundation's Open movie projects have been for 3-D. The goal is to produce a production-quality, full-length animated feature, using only open source software, and license the source content and final product under free, re-use-friendly terms."
<b>WEBM Project:</b> "Though video is also now core to the web experience, there is unfortunately no open and free video format that is on par with the leading commercial choices. To that end, we are excited to introduce WebM, a broadly-backed community effort to develop a world-class media format for the open web."
<b>InfoWorld:</b> "Source code availability is a central factor in establishing trust in the open source community, as knowledge that the source is available can often allay fears about the future of a particular open source project or product. And yet, this trust can often be overstated."
Thanks to hundreds of our customers and more specifically to our directory friends that came to Oracle Open World and meet with us at:
One of our two OUD booth:
Next Generation Directory in the Middleware demo-ground
Optimized Solution for Oracle Unified Directory in the Hardware demo-ground
Our well attended session on Next Generation Directory: Oracle Unified Directory
One of our other gathering evens
Was always a good opportunity to discuss your directory usages, expansion plan, expected evolutions and enhancements.
Big thanks for making Oracle Open World 2012 a big event!
<b>The Register:</b> "Google is "very confident" that the newly open-sourced VP8 video codec will stand up to the sort of patent attack Steve Jobs warned of when he defended Apple's decision to shun VP8's predecessor, the open-source Ogg Theora."
I'm trying to open xterm on my remote server (Ubuntu Server 10.04) with ssh:
ssh -X name@machine xterm
but the error returned is:
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0.0`
I googled and tried everything I found.
Still getting this error. The DISPLAY-variable should be set automatically, right?
Part of sshd_config:
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
PrintMotd no
PrintLastLog yes
TCPKeepAlive yes
Any advice?

In this article we're reviewing open source PHP-based ecommerce solutions. PHP is chosen as there are many such ecommerce solutions available and they are cheap to customize. By using an open source solution you don't have to reinvent the wheel and build everything from scratch and all these solutions can be customized to give your online store a unique look.
<b>Opensource.com:</b> "Plaintiffs attempted to exploit this inexperience by arguing that open source software involved behavior that was, if not downright illegal, at least ethically dubious. They promoted the fallacy that open source distributors unfairly take the property of others and thereby unfairly profit."
<b>Database Journal:</b> "One of the key elements that helps to enable open source software applications to gain broader enterprise usage is the availability of commercial support options. In the case of the open source MongoDB NoSQL database, that commercial support is now coming from project backer 10gen."
<b>The H Open: </b>"Ingres have made Ingres VectorWise generally available to download for free evaluation or commercially licence and say that an open source release for the accelerated database technology should be expected by the end of the year."
The two hardware giants detail how their new mobile effort relies on the wider open source community -- but don't expect an entirely open source final product.

<b>Network World: </b>"Talend is an open source data integration company that is a poster child for successful open source business models. In just a few short years they have risen to be one of the up and coming stars in a 13b dollar market."
<b>Open Enterprise:</b> "It seems every day we hear about hideous cost overruns on public sector projects in the UK. What makes it even more frustrating is that open source, a real no-brainer for many applications, is rarely given the chance to prove itself here."
<b>The Register: </b>"Apple Safari's new "make web go away" button is based on an open source project distributed under the Apache 2 license. And that's news to the open sourcers."
An argument I often hear to justify open space office layout is that, being open, it contributes to team work and more collaboration between people.
Does it really contributes to team work, compared to private offices? Is there hard data that might support this?
Edit: I'm interested in that topic in a programmer's context, a bit like the study made in PeopleWare, which focuses on software development.
<b>Webopedia: </b>"Open source tools are viable alternatives to popular closed-source applications and some open source tools offers features or performance benefits that surpass their commercial counterparts."
