Linux package managers

This comes under Package Management System
Fedora uses RPM (RPM Package Manager)
yum (Yellow dog Updater, Modified) on Fedora Core installs rpm
example:
yum install vsftpd
installs the ftp server daemon

Debian uses apt (Advanced Packaging Tool) against .deb packages.
Example
apt-get install mozilla

License Browse/Edit/Selector

We got lots of Licenses in open and closed source projects. We now have version numbers and also multiple licenses...
Example
Clickwrap License
Licence-free software
Shrink Wrap EULA
Creative Commons
Open Source
Apache
Mozilla
BSD

I want to know what is different - so that I can adopt. Basically I want to slice and dices these License words and categorize them You can also view this as a stock market where you want to slice and dice the information you receive and make a determination on what you want to do with your money against the companies you are interested in.

Open source LiveCD generator

Linux Distributions and LiveCDs are very powerful useful way to reach the end users/consumers.

Major Players in Distros
Fedora Core
Debian

LiveCD
Knoppix based on Debian

It would be nice if we can have a kiosk where you can go and ask for an assortment of open source programs and they cut a cd for free or minimal charge.

For example here are the combinations I would be interested
1. Have a really really light system - just kernel
2. Have a system for developer (tool chains, IDE)
3. Server config
4. Video Editing
5. Music editing (lilyPond)
6. Engineering application
7. Games
8. Routers

Basically, as a customer, I want to walk up to the booth, click (touch screen would be cool) select all (while the size bar shows me where I am - say burn... Go over to the counter - pay and get the CD/DVD with what ever professional label/disk jacket.
Give a mechanism to select from different tree type categories.
Give option to select individual components by name
Give option to select a specific older version - if that's what the user wants
Give option to read about the package as needed
Can we compare this with today's Wallgreen's print your photos from memory chip?
Give option to get some contents like Images, Music, Movie, Text, Docs...
Provide not just GPL - allow other licenses
May be we can loop commercial non-open software to giving their software like this as well - what the heck - they want money - don't they?

LilyPond - for Music notation

GNU LilyPond is a free software program for engraving sheet music. It uses a simple ASCII notation for music, which is then compiled into PDF (via PostScript) or into SVG. LilyPond can also automatically generate MIDI files from music specified in the LilyPond format.

https://github.com/0xfe/vexflow is another open source - on Javascript

Linux on Palm Z22 - not much luck so far

I bought a Palm Z22 device from Fry's for 2 primary reasons.

1. Use it as low cost PIM
2. Try out Embedded Linux, if possible

Reason why Palm Z22
1. It is inexpensive - $99 (+tax)
2. It is light weight
3. I had Plam IIIx for more than 4 years and it generally serves the PIM part well
4. Size fits into my pant pocket

I realized couple of new things while investigating to install Linux and was wondering if you want to help me in completing this part.
1. Palm Z22 is new device (Oct 15, 2005) - not much details in open source community yet
2. Pure Open Source Linux is not commonly/widely available - in a easily canned form (like what you get for PC)
3. Many sites Linux point me to Palm III series, Tungsten or Palm Live not to any of the Zire

This makes me to venture into giving it a shot my self - instead of having to wait for it to be already available in binary format. Would you be interested in helping in your spare time (as hobby)?

JTAG is normally used to flash the ROM in embedded systems. Jtag tools are dongle like stuff connected to parallel port of PC that basically serially sends the bios. The first thing to be loaded is the bios. One example is blob. Blob, the boot loader. Bios inturn loads the Kernel. Example Kernal Image is 'zImage'.
jFalsh (alt) is a software that uses PC Parallel port for jtag communication with embedded systems.

Blob - one of the version from UK site is ftp://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/pub/armlinux/people/xscale/lubbock/blob/
busybox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable.

skyeye http://gro.clinux.org/projects/skyeye/ project seems to emulate/simulate ARM. Also give a way to use uClinux. Cygwin version requires TCL & X Windows to run.

ARM Tool Chain - cross compiler for Cygwin: http://www.gnuarm.com/

Eclipse IDE

Eclipse IDE seems to have taken the same or simillar approch the Turbo C and Microsoft Visual Studio has taken. Like make the IDE and rig up the compiles and other tools behind it (Reuse code and user experiance - hence user loyalty).

Eclipse comes with integrated Java development in it. Tried C/C++ Development Tools download - yet to get it to work on my Cygwin (gcc) version. I would like to get my arm cross comiler on it so that I get a ARM IDE through open source.

resume tip

I notice that you have higher marks in 12th & MS as compared to 10th & BCA. One suggestion might be to remove the mark from every where - or - just keep 12th and MS degree in your resume with their marks - remove 10th & BCA.

Do you want to move Java from Internet Applications to Languages line? If you really meant the java used in web pages, may be you might want to put JavaScript instead.

Consider expanding your projects - reducing or realigning in single line the items like: address on top, hallmarks, hobbies.

I am afraid you are giving too much of personal information. If possible remove every thing - except the languages known - that you an move it up.

Try to keep it just one page resume.

You normally don't have to declare and sign at the bottom - in the IT industry.

Consider rearranging the top name and address some thing like a letter head.

Comparison shopping

Taking On The Comparison Shopping Gorillas
Tom Taulli, 09.28.05, 12:00 PM ET

LOS ANGELES - Online comparison shopping has undergone several waves of consolidation. The first wave was from 1998 to 2001, when such companies as Junglee, C2B, Liquid Market, Cadabra and MySimon sold out.

In the past year, we've seen another wave, with targets such as PriceRunner, LowerMyBills.com, Kelkoo, Shopzilla, Shopping.com. Because of this, big gorillas--like Yahoo! (nasdaq: YHOO - news - people ) and eBay (nasdaq: EBAY - news - people )--are now in the shopping comparison game.

Too late for new entrants? Definitely not. Actually, there are next-gen comparison shopping sites hitting the Net.

One example is MyRatePlan.com, which focuses primarily on comparison shopping for cell phones. Before starting the business, Allan Keiter did pricing work for UPS (nyse: UPS - news - people ), Continental Airlines (nyse: CAL - news - people ), and BellSouth Cellular (which is now part of Cingular). "During my time at Continental," said Keiter, "the Web came into vogue as a way to compare airfares, purchase travel and, from the airline's perspective, take distribution costs out of the system. Then, while at BellSouth, it dawned on me that buying wireless wasn't really fundamentally different from buying an airfare, because it would eventually become a commodity mostly shopped on price, and therefore the industry would follow the same general distribution path."

He tried to convince BellSouth Cellular to go online--but was rebuffed. Getting weary of big company bureaucracy, Keiter developed his own system, using more than 100 calculations on cellular rate plans.

No doubt, Keiter realizes the competition in comparison shopping is fierce and that, to thrive, he needs a compelling value proposition. What sets him apart? "Our site attempts to build comparisons around the way people shop for a service. This is different from other shopping comparison sites, which uses a set shopping platform that is applied across everything from can openers to laptops to women's dresses," he says.

With wireless, there are two components: a product (the phone) and service (the rate plan). Simply put, this just does not really fit the model of most shopping comparison sites. "Our site is set up so that people can start with either of these components and create a customized solution unique to their usage or needs," said Keiter. "As a result, we have a fairly unique niche that the other shopping sites really don't compete directly with."

Another online comparison shopping site, FatLens, also believes it has its own unique edge. Basically, the company initially targeted a category that was not part of shopping comparison; that is, event tickets. "This is a very difficult category," said Siva Kumar, the co-founder of FatLens. "For instance, inventory and prices change frequently. We thought that if we could build something that would be effective for event tickets, we could use our technology for other complex categories."

Unlike a typical shopping comparison site--which gets its content from merchants-- FatLens has another approach: it uses technology to crawl and spider the Web to index e-tailers. Think of it as Google (nasdaq: GOOG - news - people ) meets comparison shopping.

Example: Suppose you search for "Motorola (nyse: MOT - news - people ) Bluetooth Headset." Well, you will not get listings from other manufacturers. What's more, the results are ordered by the Consumer Merchant Preference (CMP) ranking, which prioritizes results using consumers' aggregate purchasing and search preferences (this is similar to how PageRank works with the Google search engine). This means that the first results shown are exactly what all other consumers found as the most important for that specific search in that category.

The FatLens search engine interface is optimized for shopping search. The site's Wish List feature enables shoppers to save product search results. Users can then come back at a later time to look at items of interest, or easily compare multiple items from different searches. And, just like other search engines, FatLens does not include extraneous capabilities such as merchant grading systems, user reviews or feature comparisons.

Another interesting player in the space is Smarter.com. Some of the cool features include: online coupons and cash-back rewards. In fact, there is an SMS (Short Messaging Service) service that will automatically send you alerts on your cell phone.

Keep in mind that Smarter.com raised no outside capital. To build its operations, the company set up operations--with 120 employees--in China. "We get more scale for our dollar by going overseas," said Harry Tsao, the co-founder of Smarter.com. "It also means we have more money to put into marketing."

Tsao estimates that the U.S. market for comparison shopping is roughly $500 million, which is only about 10% of the paid search marketplace. Furthermore, he thinks global markets are highly underserved. "We believe there is a lot of room for growth internationally and here in the U.S.," said Tsao. "I also believe innovation will continue, but will be driven by newer players. Years ago, when C/Net bought MySimon.com, what innovation did we see come after that?"

open source web design

http://www.oswd.org/
Recently we registered a domain and posted 'under construction' page. Shopped around for some one who can quickly create few web pages to spread the word. I got quote from 2 sources and they were much more than $250 with couple of hours investment from me. I have basic understanding of HTML and I was wondering why we got to invest more that kind of money for the web design that is a living document - meaning will change multiple times in a year.

On a weekend we typed "web design open source" on a search engine. Clicked the first result. Picked up a design and we were able to quickly make a imageless set of web pages. All in less than 3 ours of my time. Now, I wonder if my >$250 would have to me better web site. Images take long time to load any way and I got many folks who would load the web page from lower bandwidth locations.

Wondering if open source has taken away $250 of my business from some company/individual. What would happen if this proliferation grows where every thing is open source - no one nothing gets paid. How would any one make money - would we get back to community funding as it used to happen many thousands of years.

meeting 8/20

Meeting with Vijay, Murugesh, Hari and Senthil Kumar.

What’s a typical salary for CEG fresh graduate. The range I heard was 2 lakhs-4 lakhs. Hari mentioned that there was a news stating some one in 3rd sem CEG being picked up by Microsoft for 6 lakhs. This has come in news with photos.

Why is the large amount of money earned by s/w professional not going to the poor people - including farmer? What does people do with large ‘discretionary income’ by software professionals. They invest in expensive cars, cinemas, change cell phones often, make travel/vacation.

The top 5 s/w companies in India: TCS, Wipro, InfoSys, Satyam & HCL. These companies employ roughly 80% of the total s/w professionals in India. Assume each at 40K employees – we have less than 250K employees in S/w.

Big names are going for low tech work. Like ensure the cannon printer is printing fine.

When the attrition is far less – say 6%, the company has to pay the annual increments with no extra cost to client. This puts the pressure on companies to get creative and move folks around so that they can still survive. Upper management folks are tracking charts like how many people are in the team, what’s the average salary, average time in the project – and are being constantly challenged to improve these numbers – to meet the profitability needs.

TCS lay off 1000 people and this seems to have triggered issue. They were let go on performance basis. It is too difficult to explain performance in 6 months.

The reliving order is still present in India.

The normal time taken to hire a new person is 4-6 weeks. 12 weeks is not unheard off. It is normal to give 4 weeks notice to current employer in India.

ISO9000 is not too important differentiating factor – as smaller companies don’t demand such restrictions on smaller vendors. Usually the jobs are done through smart people and the process don’t add significant value.

Linux is used heavily in the org. We wish to contribute to open source. However the open source network is highly intimidating. We fear that we might make a mistake in our check in and this could bite us back. The open source code in most cases is very well written – so we got to make equally strict coding to be accepted in the inner circle. Also, the folks in open source are having long memory – so any mistake might be difficult to recover soon. The idea might be to pick up a not so popular software or a narrow market software and make contributions – instead of say, Linux core.

Our parents were more harsh on us than we are with our kids. One potential reason – our parents 40 years back were mostly trying to make the ends meet in basic form. Today the basic needs of food and shelter are all met very easily and the problem/drive are for esteem needs.
How about the idea of releasing a whole bunch of code that’s written and is laying in a corner – not being used. This has to be tested, commented and documented before offering to open source.
BPO translators are paid 2-4K a month. This raises to 10K if you can talk over the phone like an US person.
