Ever heard about the Linux Kongress? It’s a venue for Linux kernel
developers to talk about the things that they research on and work on.
It is an annual event, organized by the German Unix Users Group. This
year it was held in Dresden, Germany from October 27-30. Ted T’so,
Felix von Leitner and Andi Kleen were all in this year’s Linux
Kongress. They highlighted some of the key things in kernel
development. Talks included topics like the GNU Compiler Collection
(GCC) as well as how multi-core systems are powerful.
Not everyone might be able to appreciate these things especially new
Linux users but reading about them at the very least gives us a better
idea of how development happens, who are some of the key people in the
community, what might be happening in the coming days for us.
Not everyone might be developing software in the free and open source
community. But those who do [...]

Are you looking for a photo manager? Then Solang might be an alternative you’d like to check out. Not everyone’s happy about F-spot even if it is full of features. We all have our preferences and it’s not an essentially bad thing to search for options.
Solang seems to have a problem with Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope so those who want to use it already might be better off with upgrading to Karmic Koala first. There’s a PPA for Solang but those who are not familiar with it might be turned off. I personally plan to upgrade before I try Solang.
The feature list as written by Santanu several months ago. I am thinking this would be applicable for Solang on Karmic.
Paginated views for memory and speed efficiency (in git already)
Icon zooming in browser view (in git already)
Undoable delete feature for tags and photos (partially in git)
Undoable basic [...]

If you’re looking for a photo collection tool that is highly focused on helping you manage your photos then Phraymd could be thing that will help you. F-spot covers a whole lot more when it comes to managing photo collections with all those features such as editing your photos so that they could rotated, etc. But Phraymd seems to be more focused on your metadata.
The design philosophy of Phraymd includes the following:
The user interface must not be a blocker.
It keeps the metadata in the images.
There is a database that keeps track of data for faster searching.
It looks really nifty to me. It also is said to be designed so that one could easily call other applications when needed. For example, image editing tools that will enhance your pictures. Or maybe viewing it using Firefox.
If you take a look at page about using Phraymd
you will see [...]

It’s too late when I realized that I didn’t have my netbook’s charger and so I can’t really upgrade my netbook this weekend. It’s not good. Argh. And just when I had plenty of time to upgrade and fix something if ever something gets broken.
So yeah, everybody seems to have Ubuntu 9.10 or Karmic Koala already. Well, except for me. Tsk. Next time I will check my things before leaving a building, just to be sure this doesn’t happen again.
Back to business.
And everyone but me has Karmic Koala. By this time it’s more practical for me to start looking for the rest of the world’s blog entries and screenshots. The Debian Admin blog has a 37 screenshots. You get to see the different aspects of Karmic so this is a good set. It also gives you a better idea of [...]

Looking out for something tasty? Patries would be an awesome treat
indeed. Especially you love cream puffs and eclairs like I do. I
suppose Google’s development team for Android want to tempt us with
something sweet and tasty just like eclairs, hence the name for
Android 2.0 ; )
What’s in store for us in ‘Eclair’ or Android 2.0?
Those who work in companies whose emails are managed by Microsoft
Exchange servers will be happy to note that Eclair is said to ship
with support for MS Exchange. Probably a good enough reason for some
to consider getting a new Android 2.0 powered smartphone.
Some of the features are said to be corporate friendly. Anyhow here’s a list of some features:
Multiple email accounts. If you’re like me, then you probably have at least two email accounts. This feature sounds practical to me.
Combined inboxes. Well, after all you have multiple accounts. [...]
