I am definitely a rsync user, and for anyeone whom is not allergic to command line i do not see why searching for another utility … Wrap an well thought rsync command inside a desktop short-cut and here we go! Rsnapshot is also something i liked

ownCloud has come a long way since the last time I gave it a look. What I’ve covered in this post doesn’t touch everything that ownCloud can do — such as its WebDAV support. But if you’re looking for an online storage and syncing app that keeps your files under your control, ownCloud is definitely worth a close look.

This is the first public ownCloud Android app release and it doesn't have to many features yet, but it does have the basics: browse, upload, download and delete files. The application also supports previews for videos and photos but only for those on your device (which you want to upload) and not for those available on the ownCloud server.

Google's really not leaving any stone unturned at IO today -- it's now also announced a brand new Android Open Accessory standard, which promises to effectively be its own version of "Made for iPod." That means that any accessory designed using the API (which could even be something like an exercise bike) will be compatible with any Android phone or tablet -- running at least Android 2.3.4 or 3.1, that is. What's more, Google is also making a reference hardware design dubbed an "ADK" available to developers and, get this, it's based on Arduino.

Typing sudo dmidecode into a terminal will give you a giant list of information about your machine that you can browse through, or you can use the -s flag and a keyword to get a specific piece of information.

Can I also recommend using a creative combination of amateur tools to create a professional-looking screencast? For example, our team used Screenflow to "shoot" and edit small clips, Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.ne... to record and edit the voice-over, Prezi (http://prezi.com/) to record elegant motion captured clips with graphics, a little bit of Powerpoint, Photoshop, etc. for static slides and such, and the result comes out a thousand times better than a straight-up screencast.

Ob Nevernote als Alternative zum offiziellen Evernote-Client gelten kann, ist angesichts der Beschränkungen, vor allem hinsichtlich der Geschwindigkeit und des Fehlens einer Screenshot-Funktion, Geschmackssache. Seine Nützlichkeit hängt letzten Endes davon ab, welche Features von Evernote für den jeweiligen Nutzer zentral sind. Das Projekt befindet sich, der relativ raschen Folge neuer Versionsankündigungen im Forum nach zu schließen, in aktiver Entwicklung und es ist zu hoffen, daß die Geschwindigkeitsprobleme bald der Vergangenheit angehören.

SharePoint 2010 includes a lot that is new and improved on the collaboration side, and the people I speak with at organizations are very keen to get their hands on the new capabilities. As with any technology, features and functions are merely opportunities for doing work in a different way, so IT organizations and departments need to create strong engagement strategies for exploring fitness to task with their business department clients. Once opportunities for improving business activities have been identified, they then need to cultivate various user adoption strategies to ensure that the hoped-for-value translates into delivered-value.

One of the benefits of using open source tools is that you can customize them to be used in ways that help your organization.

If you want to customize an open source tool, it may be simply a matter of handing it off to your IT department or hiring outside help. But what to do after you have a customized version of your software available?

The Open Source Ecosystem
The way that most proponents of open source tools hope you’ll move forward from that point is by sharing the customizations and changes your team has made and making them available for other users of that particular piece of software. Within your organization, there may be some arguments against doing just that. Some are legitimate: stripping out any information that would allow your competitors to learn about how you work from your customized software might be impractical, making it harder to protect your organization’s confidential information. Others may see the changes you made as proprietary, and that offering them for free is a waste of company resources.

Making those customizations available, however, can help you improve upon your chosen tool. The more users and developers are working on a given open source project, the less likely it is that development will stop — making it a useful investment for any organization relying on open source software.

The Core Developer Question
You could simply release your changes and customizations to the community that creates a particular tool, or you could take an active role in developing the tool in question, providing resources and help. There are certainly some benefits in taking a leadership role. You can help guide the development of your software, making it possible to implement key features that you may want. But taking a leadership role does take resources and time that you might otherwise dedicate elsewhere. It’s likely a question that only members of your organization can decide.

Of course, it’s very easy to get involved with most open source projects. The typical open source community can always use a few extra hands or a few extra dollars. If you make it clear that you’re interested in getting involved for the long haul, such communities will always find a way to bring you in and make use of whatever you can provide them with. It’s just a matter of deciding to get involved.

Does your organization actively support the open source projects it uses?

Mit dem Paket Nautilus Terminal wird im Dateibrowser Nautilus ein Terminal integriert. Der große Vorteil ist, dass man sich mit der Shell (default: bash) in dem gleichen Verzeichnis befindet, wie mit dem Dateibrowser selbst. Arbeitet man mit Nautilus in einem Verzeichnis und muss einige Operationen über die Shell erledigen, ist es jetzt nicht mehr notwendig ein zusätzliches Terminal zu öffnen und dort dann in das entsprechende Verzeichnis zu navigieren.

Wireshark is an open source network packet analyzer. Without any special hardware or reconfiguration, it can capture live data going in and out over any of your box's network interfaces: Ethernet, WiFi, PPP, loopback, even USB. Typically it's used as a forensics tool for troubleshooting network problems like congestion, high latency, or protocol errors — but you don't want to wait until your network is in trouble to learn how to use it. This weekend, why not take a look at your network traffic, and learn how to use Wireshark to your advantage?

Der Standard für Geschäftsprozessmodellierung nennt sich hierzulande BPMN oder ausgeschrieben Business Process Model and Notation. Das Modell entstammt nicht aus der Programmierung, sondern wurde dereinst von Stephen A. Whiten erarbeitet und ist heute die grafische Spezifikationssprache in Geschäftsprozessen. Es ist ein recht einfacher Standard, der es erlaubt, Geschäftsprozesse modellartig so abzubilden, dass sie jeder nachvollziehen und mit den nötigen Ressourcen und Werkzeugen umsetzen kann. Ausserdem lassen sich damit Prozesse einfach und klar dokumentieren, um Klarheit zu schaffen.

Proper backups can mean the difference between a data disaster and a minor inconvenience. You don't have to go to your file manager to drag and drop every bit of info you want to protect, though -- there's software to automate the process. Deja Dup and LuckBackup are two apps made just for that purpose -- one for people who want to store the backup data locally, one for those who'd rather save off-site.

This paper provides quantitative data that, in many cases, using open source software / free software (abbreviated as OSS/FS, FLOSS, or FOSS) is a reasonable or even superior approach to using their proprietary competition according to various measures. This paper’s goal is to show that you should consider using OSS/FS when acquiring software. This paper examines market share, reliability, performance, scalability, security, and total cost of ownership. It also has sections on non-quantitative issues, unnecessary fears, OSS/FS on the desktop, usage reports, governments and OSS/FS, other sites providing related information, and ends with some conclusions.

Ubuntu 10.10 Server Edition extends Canonical's CloudInit configuration tool. This lets you set a default locale, set the hostname, generate and set up SSH private keys, and set up mount points on Ubuntu instances during boot-up when running in the cloud.

Linux wird im mobilen (Smartphones mit Android oder WebOS) und semimobilen Bereich (kommende Tablets mit Android, WebOS, kommende Netbooks mit Chrome OS) zunehmend erfolgreich. Diese Bereiche sind die kommenden Wachstumsbereiche im Computermarkt. Teilweise sind sie es bereits heute.

Interessant dabei ist, dass Linux nicht Linux genannt wird und unter verschiedenen Namen im Markt nach vorn marschiert. Deswegen dürften viele diesen Siegeszug übersehen. Gleichzeitig liegt es natürlich an der Open-Source-Herangehensweise, dass Linux hier erfolgreich ist. Google (Android und Chrome OS) und Palm (WebOS; Palm und WebOS gehören jetzt zu HP) stehen auf den Schultern derer, die Linux entwickelt haben und weiter entwickeln. Sie müssen für ihre eigenen Betriebssysteme nicht bei Null anfangen.

OStatic:

As Steven Vaughan-Nichols notes, Hewlett-Packard, the number one PC seller on the planet is trending toward becoming a significant Linux distributor. In acquiring Palm, HP also acquires the Linux-based WebOS, and if HP is smart, it will pursue a very open strategy with WebOS, possibly on mobile phones, and possible on iPad-like tablet devices.

[..]

Google, too, has demonstrated how powerful Linux can be when it’s not branded as Linux. Android is a hugely successful mobile OS, based on Linux. Google’s upcoming Chrome OS is Linux-based and was developed with the help of the Canonical team. Increasingly, Linux is having an impact on desktop and mobile technology users when it isn’t called Linux.

Das Jahr, in dem Linux auf dem Desktop einzieht, mag vielleicht nie kommen. Aber vielleicht ist das auch nicht mehr wichtig, wenn die Bedeutung des Desktops künftig marginalisiertwird.

Linux wird auf den Geräten von morgen eine bedeutende Rolle spielen, wenn auch in unterschiedlichen Gewändern. Die Computerwelt wird gerade umgekrempelt und Linux ist mittendrin.

Was macht eigentlich Microsoft?

For those that use Flckr, it’s always easiest when you have a simple tool that allows quick and painless file uploading. Although logging onto the web site and using the built-in Flickr uploader isn’t difficult, when you have a number of images, or when you upload frequently, this can be a real hassle. So having a stand-alone tool for this purpose is always nice. There are plenty of these tools for the Windows desktop. But what about Linux? You bet there are. There are Flickr uploaders for KDE for GNOME and everything in between.

In this article I am going to introduce you to the GNOME Flickr uploader Postr. It’s simple to install and simple to use.
