大家好！

** 歡迎轉寄 **

摘要：

美國國防部和電子前鋒基金會（Electronic Frontier Foundation）有什麼相似之處？這兩個單位都資助了 Tor 計劃 ( http://torproject.org ) 的開發。Tor 是個用自由軟體打造的網路，能讓全球各地網民匿名安全上網。2300 位志願者為至少五十萬 Tor 線上使用者轉接流量，這些人包含想避免身份遭盜竊的一般市民、及那些想要私下窺探競爭對手網站的企業、全世界的部落客和行動主義者、在中東地區想要連上家鄉伺服器的士兵和醫護人員不用害怕受到人身攻擊。

我將介紹 Tor 的架構，並說明使用者使用它的原因，以及它所提供的安全性，然後我們將開放討論關於開放研究的問題、更廣泛的社會影響、圍繞在中國的審查跟規避的問題、還有其它聽眾想要討論的議題。

講者簡介:

Roger Dingledine 是 Tor 計劃主持人，Tor 是一個美國非盈利計劃，主要為多家組織作匿名技術的研發，像是美國之聲（Voice of America）、美國海軍、電子前鋒基金會（Electronic Frontier Foundation）。Roger 除了 Tor 計劃外，他也組織匿名系統學術研討會，在許多不同的行業和駭客研討中演說，並且為國內外的執法單位做匿名系統的教學。

Abstract:

What do the United States Department of Defense and the Electronic Frontier Foundation have in common? They have both funded the development of Tor ( http://torproject.org ), a free-software anonymizing network that helps people around the world use the Internet in safety. Tor's 2300 volunteer relays carry traffic for perhaps half a million concurrent users including ordinary citizens who want protection from identity theft and prying corporations, corporations who want to look at a competitor's website in private, bloggers and activists around the world, and soldiers and aid workers in the Middle East who need to contact their home servers without fear of physical harm.

I'll give an overview of the Tor architecture, and talk about who uses it and why, and what security it provides. Then we can open it up for discussion about open research questions, wider social implications, censorship and circumvention questions around China, and other topics the audience wants to consider.

Bio:

Roger Dingledine is project leader for The Tor Project, a US non-profit working on anonymity research and development for such diverse organizations as Voice of America, the U.S. Navy, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. In addition to all the hats he wears for Tor, Roger organizes academic conferences on anonymity, speaks at a wide variety of industry and hacker conferences, and also does tutorials on anonymity for national and foreign law enforcement.

不曉得你是否曾經有這種疑惑，為什麼程式開發這麼困難?

打從寫下第一行程式開始就是一連串錯誤的開始，縱使是一個很有經驗的老手，還是會不斷的為各種小錯所苦。這個問題不斷的困擾著我，促使我開始追尋是否存在更好的開發方式、開發工具、開發流程，甚至是更好的語言。

這次想跟大家分享的就是我在這條路上探尋的一些心得和發現，內容可能會牽涉到有關開發工具的演進、語言特性、一些開發上面較煩人的問題討論 (比如變數命名，文件...etc)、開發工具類型比較、視覺化開發工具 (人機) 與 web 化開發工具等等。

因為是針對開發問題的開放式探尋，所以牽涉到的議題比較廣也比較雜 (發散)，借此機會拋磚引玉，希望同樣對此問題有興趣的人一起來共襄盛舉。

Hi,

*** Please feel free to circulate. ***

Did you ever wonder why it’s so difficult to develop programs? Writing the first lines of code right from the start is a series of errors. Even very experienced veterans continue to suffer a variety of small mistakes. This problem has plagued me and led me to pursue the development of better development tools, development processes, or even better languages.

I would like to share my road of exploring some of the ideas and my discoveries. I’ll talk about the following topics in this talk: the evolution of development tools, language features, a number of development issues discussed above, some annoyances (such as variable naming, documentation, etc), comparison of different types of development tools, visual development tools (human machine interface) and web development tools.

It will be an exploration. The issues involved are broad and diverse to intrigue the audience for further discussions.

[English below]

您參加了今年的 OSDC.TW 嗎？是否因為平行議程太多而錯過了 Thinker、Chihchun、黃昭龍的演講？或是沒報到名？還是很有興趣、想要更進一步了解？

您的機會來了！Thinker 將在 5/4 下週二到 Tossug 深入介紹他和幾位朋友開發的 SVG + Gecko 的 GUI 系統，想認識、了解、使用或參與這麼有意思的專案嗎？那還不快上報名網頁 http://registrano.com/events/1854be
報名！

題目: SVG + Gecko 完全攻略

摘要: 說到 GUI，很多人都想到 qt/gtk 等 toolkit 。然而，在很多情況裡，這些工具都幫不上忙。原因是，美工和 UI
designer 能想出來的介面，遠遠超過這些 toolkit 所能提供的。本次的分享，將提供另一種途徑。以 SVG 為基礎，為 UI
deisgners 、 artists 和 programmers 創造更和協的環境。

內容:
- SVG 介紹
- XBL 介紹
- 使用 xulrunner
- xulrunner 應用程式
- 相關開發工具
- 範例

Hi,

Did
you attend the OSDC.TW conference this year? Did you miss the talk by
Thinker, Chihchun and Chao-Lung because of too many parallel sessions?

Maybe you didn't register in time? Or you have listened to their talk, and wanted to learn more about it?

This
is your chance! Thinker will come to Tossug next Tuesday (May 4) to
deep dive into the GUI system he and friends developed based on SVG +
Gecko. Want to know, understand, use or participate in such a cool
project? What are you waiting for? Register for the talk at http://registrano.com/events/1854be immediately!

Topic: Conquer SVG + Gecko completely

Abstract:
Talking about GUI, many people think about toolkits like qt/gtk.
However, none of these tools can help in many situations because the
user interface designed by artists and UI designers are far beyond the
capabilities of these toolkits. We'll introduce a different approach in
this talk: a more cohesive environment created for UI designers,
artists and programmers based on SVG technology.

Outline:
- Introduction to SVG
- Introduction to XBL
- Using xulrunner
- xulrunner applications
- related development tools
- Examples

【04/06 TOSSUG 心得分享】jserv: LLVM 力 -- 軟體的價值由編譯器決定

FourDollars — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 15:01:19 +0800

[English below]

我真的懶得寫了，講者是 jserv 耶！大家說說看，還需要我介紹嗎？更何況神級的 jserv 早在四個禮拜！四個禮拜前就把簡介大綱寫完了！ m(_._)m

大家就不用看我囉嗦，直接看 jserv 寫的簡介吧！

簡介: 當今資訊建設中，無論硬體架構為何，軟體開發可說清一色為 framework 導向，從 iPhone、Netbook、到大型伺服器交易系統，無不都思考如何更多元、更安全、更有效率地發揮硬體特性。當編譯器技術走入新的層次時，就需要更強大且多元的 Toolkit/framework。去年筆者已在 OSDC.tw 的〈窮得只剩下 Compiler〉探討過資訊技術的典範移轉 (paradigm shift) 與突破限制的可能性，今年則打算透過實務的開發，探討編譯器嶄新的革命。改編女王的話：「請您一定要相信：軟體的價值由編譯器決定，我們當然可以活到老、Coding 到老」。

議程大綱：

- 如火如荼發展的 LLVM

- 動手用 LLVM：不是為了取悅硬體而寫編譯器，而是為自己而寫編譯器

- LLVM 為基礎的自由軟體專案回顧

Hi,

I'm happy to announce that jserv is coming to talk about LLVM next week. He is so famous that I don't need to introduce him anymore. The following is his introduction to his talk, translated by me. Any mistakes are my own.

No matter what the hardware architecture is, it is safe to say that the development of software on top of it is framework oriented nowadays. From iPhone, Netbook to large scale transactional server systems, people all are trying to squeeze the last drop out of the hardware more securely, more efficiently and in more ways. When the compiler technology steps up to a new level, stronger and more diversified toolkits/frameworks are called for. I have given a talk "compiler is all I have" one the paradigm shift of information technology and the possibility of a break through in OSDC.tw last year. I'd like to discuss the brand new revolution of compiler technology via pragmatic development this year. Rephrasing the words of the Queen: "You must believe: the value of software is decided by compilers. We can surely keeping coding until we're old."

Outline:

- LLVM on a soar

- Hands-on LLVM: writing compiler not to please hardware, but for oneself

- An overview of free software projects based on LLVM

以下是我翻譯的演講大綱。

node.js [1] 是個架在 Google V8 Javascript 引擎之上的事件驅動式的輸入輸出模組（evented
I/O）[2]。V8 是最快的 Javascript 虛擬機之一，node.js 用最佳的方法利用了 V8。

講者將會介紹 node.js 和實作 Comet 型態 [3] 的 chat 的實例。

[1] node.js: http://nodejs.org/
[2] evented I/O: 用 event 和 callback 而不用 multi-thread 實作 server
的方式，twisted 是知名的一個這樣實作出來的 web server。
[3] comet: 一種讓 web server 可以把資料 push 到瀏覽器的做法，見
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_(programming)

Hi,

I'm happy to invite Mr. Amir Salihefendic, the Lead Developer of
Plurk, to talk about an open source software that he has been playing
with, the evented I/O javascript package node.js. You definitely
should check it out if you like the idea of using the same language to

以下是講者提供的簡介和大綱。

Try自由軟體怎麼可以沒有中文呢? 這正是Tryneeds-Chinese 中文化平台最單純的成立動
機。

當我們開始接觸自由軟體，相信最直覺的就是希望軟體打開來時能看到正體中文介面，而
一直以來我們都是期待或以為總有一些社群朋友在幫大家做中文化，確實，真的就是有一
群默默奉獻的社群朋友，才有今天正體中文的成就。

如果您和我們一樣支持自由軟體，我們除了感謝這些社群朋友的貢獻，是不是也應該以具
體行動支持他們，並且讓自己也成為社群的一份子，也許您真的曾經有這樣的想法，但卻
不知從何參與起，相信Tryneeds會是一個很好的開始。

我們建立Tryneeds中文化共筆平台的目的，就是希望所有人都可以很輕易的成為中文化社
群的一份子，參與自由軟體的共創與共享，共同建置及維護自由軟體的中文化。

Tryneeds目前已完成初步的平台建置，並已開放測試使用，同時我們也正在匯整各位的寶
貴意見，若是您跟我們一樣關心自由軟體中文化的發展，歡迎您的參與和指教，若您有興
趣進一步參與開發群組的討論，歡迎您與我們聯絡，聯絡信箱為：tryneeds@gmail.com

此外, 教育類自由軟體與自由教材也是我們努力的目標之一. 從找尋適當的軟體與教材,
進行中文化, 到編寫使用手冊. 以 Gchemutils (Gchempaint) 為例, 這是 Gnome 下的化
學軟體,包括週期表, 立體分子看圖, 平面繪圖等功能,
適用於高中生大學生及研究生. 跟上游連絡取得同意後放到 Tryneeds 上由團隊成員進行
翻譯, 完成後提交給原作者. 2009 年 3 月份所釋出的新版中, 原作者已經將我們的中文
化檔案放到套件裏, 就這樣, 大家分工合作, 讓更多人可以使用正體中文化的化學軟體.
而 PhET 是非常受到學校老師歡迎的自由授權的教材, 目前我們正在逐漸的進行中文化,
希望可以提供學生, 家長, 老師, 及教授們方便學習與教學的環境.

大綱：

(1) Tryneeds計劃緣起與相關計劃
(相關計劃包含WeStart選單,Wekey-wiki教學資源共筆)
(2) Tryneeds中文化共筆平台簡介
(平台建置構想、建置技術、功能特色與未來發展)
(3) 另一個不容忽視的中文化議題－自由教材中文化
(如PhET http://phet.colorado.edu)

.................................................................

Hi,

I'm happy to invite Eric, Frank, and OneDollar to talk about the tryneeds
system that they created for localization of free software next
Tuesday (June 9).

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Time: 2009/6/9 (Tuesday), 7:30pm -
Topic: Tryneeds - Chinese
Speaker: Eric, Frank and OneDollar
Language: Chinese
Place: *Basement* of Mix Coffee & Tea
(http://wiki.tossug.org/MixCoffee&Tea )
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The following is a partial abstract and outline of the talk provided by the
speakers, translated to English by pingooo.

How can there be no Chinese when someone tries out a free software?
This is the simplest motivation for creating the Tryneeds-Chinese
localization platform.

We hope that, by establishing the Tryneeds localization wiki platform,
everyone can contribute to localization. We have completed the initial
stage of building the platform, and it is open for testers. Everyone is
welcome to participate and send comments to us at tryneeds@gmail.com.

Besides localization, free software and free content for education are also
our goals. We identify proper software and content, localize them, and
write user's manuals. Gchemutils (Gchempaint), a chemistry software
for periodic table, 3-dimensional molecule geometry and 2-dimensional
drawings. It works in Gnome and can be used in high school and universities.
We have localized it on the tryneeds platform.

Outline

(1) The creation of Tryneeds and related projects
- WeStart
- Wekey-wiki
(2) Introduction to the Tryneeds wiki platform
- Concept
- Technologies used for building the platform
- Features
- Future plans
(3) Localization of free contents
- PhET as an example

Hi,

Happy Chinese New Year!

You may have heard about the Walmart $199 PC and its Linux-based
operating system gOS back in November 2007. Do you know that the key
members of gOS are in California and Taipei? You can find more about
gOS on its web site http://www.thinkgos.com/.

We'll have Fred this Tuesday (Feb 3) to talk about the new development
of gOS. Fred is a gOS developer. The following is a translation of his
abstract and outline.

【12/9 TOSSUG 心得分享】Thinker: MadButterfly

FourDollars — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 13:45:17 +0800

[English below]

幾個月前 Thinker 發想了一個非常有創意的 open source 專案 "MadButterfly"（有人叫它瘋狂奶油蒼蠅），用
SVG 來產生可縮放的向量圖形介面 (Vector GUI)，這帶來無限的想像，

在圖形介面的領域可能會帶來很多的創新。

很高興這個禮拜二我們請到 Thinker 親自來講他的專案「瘋狂奶油蒼蠅」！如果您在圖形介面的程式設計領域有興趣、或者根本就是專長在
GUI，務必來親眼看看「瘋狂奶油蒼蠅」如何讓您的創意瘋狂飛舞！

Hi,

I'm happy to announce that we'll have Thinker to talk about
MadButterfly this Tuesday (December 9).

Thinker is the main developer behind the MadButterfly open source
project, which is a graphic user interface system based on SVG
(scalable vector graphics). With a non-raster image based GUI system,
many innovations become possible. If you are into GUI development, you
should come to see how MadButterfly may boost your GUI to the next
level with your own eyes!
