Bring the nice culture of Free and Open Source Software to our life
By default, IM feature is not enabled on Zimbra systems after upgrading. You can use these commands to enable it:
su - zimbra
zmprov -l -v mcf zimbraXMPPEnabled TRUE
zmprov -v mc default zimbraFeatureIMEnabled TRUE
zmprov -v mc default zimbraFeatureInstantNotify TRUE
zmcontrol stop
zmcontrol start
Obviously set the COS to the one you use if it’s not the default.
Good luck! 🙂
VAIP. Trên diễn đàn FOSS Việt Nam, ông Đỗ Vũ Quỳnh đang công tác tại Tổ chức hợp tác ĐH Pháp ngữ (AUF) đã công bố “rất vui mừng vì có thể thông báo rằng chúng ta đã cuối cùng dịch ra tiếng Việt tất cả các chuỗi của OpenOffice.org với 100% phần giao diện và 100% phần trợ giúp. Đây là một thành tựu rất quan trọng, vì OpenOffice.org là một chương trình rất phổ biến mà cho phép mọi người đều dùng phần mềm nguồn mở cho các công việc hàng ngày”.
Đó là công sức không mệt mỏi vì cộng đồng của nhóm các thành viên đã giúp dịch tập hợp chuỗi khổng lồ này gồm các anh, chị : Nguyễn Đình Trung, Đỗ Thị Hảo, Ngô Huy Hoàng, Nguyễn Công Ngọc Sơn, Nguyễn Thị Thanh Nhàn, Nguyễn Thùy Trang, Nguyễn Văn Bách, Phan Trọng Khanh. Thành tựu của những người dịch này còn có ý nghĩa hơn vì gần như tất cả họ đã dịch lần đầu tiên trong tập hợp chuỗi này. Và còn lớn hơn nữa vì phần trợ giúp của OpenOffice.org chứa các chuỗi rất phức tạp, có định dạng khó hiểu và còn rất nhiều lỗi trong tiếng Anh.
Ông Nguyễn Chí Công UVBCH Hội Tin học Việt Nam cho biết “Hội Tin học Việt Nam và các báo chí nên đăng ngay tin này, biểu dương và cảm ơn nhóm thực hiện, thậm chí đề cử trao giải đóng góp cho cộng đồng CNTT-TT”. Ngoài ra để chỉnh sửa lỗi dịch và việt hoá có thể sửa dần và cũng cần có một diễn đàn riêng để mọi người góp ý cùng sửa lỗi.
Cũng trên Diễn đàn FOSS Việt Nam, ông Quách Tuấn Ngọc Cục trưởng Cục CNTT Bộ GD&ĐT cho biết sẽ giới thiệu ngay đường link tới tất cả các khoa CNTT và các phòng CNTT của các Sở và các trường THPT.

For a less technical user friendly summary of the important changes in this release, refer to:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/9/ReleaseSummary
This release includes significant new versions of many key components and technologies. The following sections provide a brief overview of major changes from the last release of Fedora.
Fedora includes several different spins, which are variations of Fedora built from a specific set of software packages. Each spin has a combination of software to meet the requirements of a specific kind of end user. In addition to a very small boot.iso image for network installation, users have the following spin choices:
More custom spins are available at http://spins.fedoraproject.org. These Live images can be used on USB media via the livecd-iso-to-disk utility available in the livecd-tools package.
Fedora releases are also available via Jigdo. This distribution method can improve the speed of obtaining the installation ISO images. Instead of waiting for torrent downloads to complete, Jigdo seeks the fastest mirrors it can find via the Fedora Project Mirror Manager infrastructure, and downloads the bits it needs from these mirrors. To optimize seeking these bits, you can tell Jigdo to scan a DVD or CD you already have, and cut down on redundant downloads. This feature becomes particularly useful if you:
netboot.iso image now features a second stage installer partly for this reason.yum has been significantly improved./sbin/init daemon.
The proposed plans for the next release of Fedora are available at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RoadMap.
The OpenOffice.org Community is pleased to announce that the public beta release of OpenOffice.org 3.0 is now available. This beta release is made available to allow a broad user base to test and evaluate the next major version of OpenOffice.org, but is not recommended for production use at this stage.
If you are a regular user of OpenOffice.org, here’s a great opportunity to help us make the next release the best ever.
What’s new in OpenOffice.org 3.0?
The most immediately visible change to OpenOffice.org 3.0 is the new “Start Centre”, new fresh-looking icons, and a new zoom control in the status bar. A closer look shows that 3.0 has a myriad of new features. Notable Calc improvements include a new solver component; support for spreadsheet collaboration through workbook sharing; and an increase to
1024 columns per sheet. Writer has an improved notes feature and displays of multiple pages while editing. There are numerous Chart enhancements, and an improved crop feature in Draw and Impress.
Behind the scenes, OpenOffice.org 3.0 will support the upcoming OpenDocument Format (ODF) 1.2 standard, and is capable of opening files created with MS-Office 2007 or MS-Office 2008 for Mac OS X (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx, etc.). This is in addition to read and write support for the MS-Office binary file formats (.doc, .xls, .ppt, etc.).
OpenOffice.org 3.0 will be the first version to run on Mac OS X without X11, with the look and feel of any other Aqua application. It introduces partial VBA support to this platform. In addition, OpenOffice.org 3.0 integrates well with the Mac OS X accessibility APIs, and thus offers better accessibility support than many other Mac OS X applications.
A more detailed guide to the features can be found at http://marketing.openoffice.org/3.0/featurelistbeta.html
Beta Availability
OpenOffice.org 3 beta is immediately available in US English for MS-Windows, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and OpenSolaris platforms from http://download.openoffice.org/3.0beta. This page also contains details of where to find localized builds and language packs as they become available. For more details, please consult the appropriate native language project – see http://projects.openoffice.org/native-lang.html
Help us gathering bugs in May!
In order to help us release OpenOffice.org 3.0 on schedule in September, users of the beta release are encouraged to report any bugs, issues or errors at http://qa.openoffice.org.
If you would like to test just the new features, there is a list of test cases by component at http://qa.openoffice.org/ooQAReloaded/TestcaseSpecifications/OpenOffice.org_3.0
If you are nervous about reporting bugs through the formal bug reporting system, you can simply email details to the user support mailing lists http://www.openoffice.org/mail_list.html
The developers look forward to receiving your feedback on this beta release of OpenOffice.org!

Linux itself (the kernel) is mostly safe. Until someone find a new ptrace or vmsplice bug of course…
But a desktop OS, whatever it is, will never be really safe IMHO. I would even declare that no computer system as large as an OS could be totally safe. The real difference is what the malware (virus/trojan/worm/…) will be able to do when it will come to your desktop! And here, using GNU/Linux and FLOSS in general make a difference.
First, FLOSS projects often care more about security than closed ones. This is simply because everybody have access to the source code so any security mistake would be pointed out relatively soon. And then there is two cases: either this is a serious project and the bug would be corrected quickly, or this is a project which doesn’t care much about security and most user will simply stop using it => the project will die because of lack of users.
Second, the way a Unix based system is organized, with strong privileges separation *by default*, make it relatively hard to exploit by malwares. Even if one do enter your environment and maybe install itself to be started with your session, because it can not install itself to start with the system without getting first privileges for that, it will have to find a way to escalate privileges up to root to really be able to harm the system.
Just try it! Without a real strong security bug in a program run as “root” (in the kernel, or into a library used by a program run as “root”), it’s just not that easy. Let’s even say it’s quite impossible until one of these bugs has been found. Of course, except bugs, there could be a security hole introduced by a misconfiguration, e.g. some knowledge-less user blindly following some wrong instruction in a forum.
But in this case it’s not a program bug but a user bug. 😉
Last but not least, about data security (lost or corruption of data), let’s remind everybody that the best way is not to use an anti-virus but to make frequent backups and to save a copy in another place (in case the main one would burn, be flooded or whatever) ! It’s the best way to protect your data from just almost everything.

Vậy là iWay của chúng tôi đã được 4 tuổi rồi cơ đấy 🙂
With now over 5 millions downloads under its belt (2.5 million of those in the past six months alone!) the Zend Framework open-source project has shown phenomenal growth. This means a much larger and more vibrant community of developers to hire from, to pore over and vet ZF code contributions, and, in general, to raise the bar for professional PHP development.To that end, we are happy to announce a new case study showcasing the world-famous Indy 500 racetrack: the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) and their standardization on Zend Framework. Read a short summary here or the entire case study to see why IMS chose Zend. Jon Whitcraft, Lead Application Developer at IMS said: “I can’t tell you how important a friendly and growing community is to building a product the open-source way.”
