Call for volunteers: Presentation for the APE Contern

by Thierry Coutelier

Hello, With the APE Contern we would like to organize a security event in the spring 2012 The idea is to actually show security treats encountered every day and not only have a presenter talk about security. We could demonstrate phishing, WiFi spying on public places.... This is not a Linux presentation and most of the people coming will be Windows user. The advantage of having LiLux co-organize the event is that we can promote free software only by our presence and maybe by distributing some flyers. Who could help with ideas, and presence on the event? Our next meeting is scheduled for the 24th of November. More details will come later. Best regards. -- Thierry Coutelier Dei Grëng CONTERN Président LiLux asbl Secrétaire adjoint Harmonie Moutfort-Medingen 7, Rue des Prés L-5316 Contern Tel: +352 406776 GSM: +352 621350037

Trisquel 5.5 STS Brigantia release announcement

by David VANTYGHEM

Bonsoir, Si vous voulez tester un OS 100% libre approuvé par la FSF, avec Gnome 2 par défaut (Gnome 3 pour les aventuriers), les dernières versions des logiciels libres, l'accélération 3D avec Nouveau pour les cartes nvidia : Trisquel Linux 5.5 vient de sortir avec un support long terme. Je télécharge demain matin au travail!! http://trisquel.info/download -------- Message original -------- Sujet: [Trisquel-devel] Trisquel 5.5 STS Brigantia release announcement Date : Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:47:48 +0200 De : <ruben(a)trisquel.info> Répondre à : Development coordination <trisquel-devel(a)listas.trisquel.info> Pour : <trisquel-devel(a)listas.trisquel.info>, <trisquel-announce(a)listas.trisquel.info>, <trisquel-users(a)listas.trisquel.info> You can read this online at: http://trisquel.info/en/trisquel-55-sts-brigantia-release-announcement Downloads are at: http://trisquel.info/download -- Trisquel 5.5 STS "Brigantia" is finally here! This release took us some extra time but it was well worth it, as even if we went through a lot of changes in core components we achieved many improvements while preparing the system for the forthcoming long term support release. As a sort of compensation (many thanks for your patience!), and due to the importance of our next release, we will start hacking on it sooner than usual, in about a month. This release took our biggest effort in this eight years, and we want to thank all the community, members, donors and specially to everyone who contributed to the development. Many new technologies, same user experience This release is our first to be based on GNOME 3, GTK 3 and also Linux-libre 3.0.0. GNOME 3 was a big challenge, because as it is designed by now, it is not usable for our community. The new default interface of GNOME 3 is GNOME Shell, a program that requires 3D acceleration to work, as it relies on graphics composition. Sadly, many graphics cards today still lack a libre driver providing acceleration, so many users who would choose free drivers will be redirected to a fallback desktop environment. We think that this way many users could feel compelled to install non-free drivers to be able to use the new desktop, so we decided to use the fallback environment as default, and improve it when possible. Luckily this fallback is a GTK 3 implementation of GNOME panel 2x, and not only is it very usable, and even more stable than the original, but it is also accessible, something GNOME Shell is currently lacking. One other advantage of using the fallback as default is that we were able to use it to provide the same desktop layout that many Trisquel users have become attached to. You can of course adapt and customize it with panels and applets as usual. This release features, among many others: - Linux-libre 3.0.0 - GNOME 3.2 - Abrowser 11 - LibreOffice 3.4.4 Better accessibility, a better project Continuing with our commitment to accessibility we have managed to improve the integration with the Orca screen reader and other universal access software. It was not easy, as it was affected by the changes in core libraries underneath, but the results were worth it. If you use the i18n DVD the screen reader will be started by default, allowing visually impaired users to install it by themselves, and the login manager in the installed system will then be accessible. It is still far from perfect, but we will keep working on it. Another improvement is that many NVIDIA graphic cards are now supported with 3D acceleration using the free Nouveau driver, which was moved from experimental into the preinstalled set of packages. Also, we can announce now that those packages, and all the +300GB of sources and binaries in our archive servers are now accessible through new official mirrors in the Netherlands and India, thanks to Jason Self and the KMEA Engineering college respectively. Many thanks! -- Rubén Rodríguez Trisquel project leader |http://trisquel.info _______________________________________________ Trisquel-devel mailing list Trisquel-devel(a)listas.trisquel.info http://listas.trisquel.info/mailman/listinfo/trisquel-devel

Fwd: Save the date: International Day Against DRM — May 4, 2012

by Guilain

Hello to you, I thought this would be interresting for some of you ... Take care, Guilain -------- Message original -------- Sujet: Save the date: International Day Against DRM — May 4, 2012 Date : Fri, 13 Apr 2012 20:33:48 -0400 De : DefectiveByDesign.org <info(a)defectivebydesign.org> Répondre à : DefectiveByDesign.org <info(a)defectivebydesign.org> Defective by Design *While DRM has largely been defeated in downloaded music, it is a growing problem in the area of ebooks, where people have had their books restricted so they can't freely loan, re-sell or donate them, read them without being tracked, or move them to a new device without re-purchasing all of them. They've even had their ebooks deleted by companies without their permission. It continues to be a major issue in the area of movies and video too. Join us in working to eliminate DRM!* Please visit dayagainstdrm.org for more information <http://dayagainstdrm.org/>. On May 4th, the Defective by Design DRM Elimination Crew will of course be running an event in Boston. But for this day to send a strong message against DRM, we need people all over the world to join us and hold their own events! As well as attending or running events, you can join other activists in blogging about DRM, putting up banners on your Web sites and blogs, talking about DRM on your social networks and more. See below for an evolving list of all the different ways you can help raise awareness. Please mark your calendars, and join the Day Against DRM mailing list for frequent updates between now and May 4th <https://crm.fsf.org/civicrm/profile/create?gid=28&reset=1>.

Appel à participation pour améliorer l'annuaire du Libre en Lorraine

by David VANTYGHEM

Bonsoir, L'annuaire du Libre en Lorraine ( http://www.goall.fr/annuaire ) commence à intéresser des responsables politiques et des entreprises, on a eu quelques retours encourageants. On aimerais le compléter avec d'autres organismes (principalement des prestataires) qui n'ont pas pour l'instant répondu aux propositions d'y figurer, par manque de temps, de confiance, d'intérêt ou parfois par peur de s'afficher dans un annuaire. Si vous connaissez les personnes responsables de ces organismes, merci de leur en parler et de nous aider à les convaincre de s'inscrire, c'est rapide à faire et ça nous aidera tous à mieux faire connaître la culture libre en Lorraine.
