heise online - Ein Laptop für nahezu jedes Kind in Uruguay: "In Uruguay laufen die Vorbereitungen für die Auslieferung des OLPC-Laptops auf vollen Touren. Nach einem Bericht der uruguayischen Tageszeitung El Pais soll der Laptop-Fertiger Quanta am 12. November mit der Serienproduktion der Geräte beginnen. Die erste Tranche von 5.000 Laptops erwartet das für die Auslieferung und Installation zuständige LATU (Laboratorio Tecnológico del Uruguay) noch im Dezember, obwohl die Verträge noch nicht unterzeichnet sind. Insgesamt kauft Uruguay 100.000 OX-Laptops zum Preis von 199 US-Dollar mit der Option auf Tranchen von jeweils 50.000 weiteren Maschinen."

I blog therefore I am (by Carlos de la Guardia) | Plone is a popular CMS choice for US universities

I blog therefore I am (by Carlos de la Guardia) | Plone is a popular CMS choice for US universities: "I recently wrote about Leicester University selecting Plone as their CMS over Sharepoint. It turns out that Plone is also popular in universities on this side of the ocean. CMSWire has a summary of the results of a survey made by UC Davis, in California, about CMS use at 129 american universities. Plone is the top choice, with 13 implementations. Drupal is close as always, with 10, and Joomla has 8. There are also 8 implementations that use Zope, so we could say that there are 21 Zope based solutions in all. Not too shabby!"

iX - Noch dünner als Thin: Zero Client

iX - Noch dünner als Thin: Zero Client: "Während typische Thin Clients noch ein eigenes, kompaktes Minimalbetriebssystem typischerweise aus einem Flash-Speicher laden, um mit ihrem Terminal-Server kommunizieren zu können, sollen Zero Clients praktisch nur noch wie ein Keyboard-/Video-/Mouse-(KVM-)Adapter am Netzwerk arbeiten. Deshalb sollen Leistungsaufnahme, Ausfallswahrscheinlichkeit und Administrationsaufwand von Zero Clients nochmals niedriger liegen als bei 'klassischen' Thin Clients, gleichzeitig können sie aber mit mehr Betriebssystemen kooperieren, sofern auf dem zugehörigen Server die passende (Virtualisierungs-)Software läuft."

The Tao of Mac - The Python Grimoire

The Tao of Mac - The Python Grimoire: "The core of the Grimoire was originally developed and released by Andrew M. Kuchling in May, 1999. However, it never reached a stage where Andrew felt that it was ready for publication, and eventually he withdrew it. Steve Ferg, however, had found the Grimoire very helpful as he was learning Python, and he persuaded Andrew to allow him to take over maintenance of the document in August, 2002."

Memory Dump » Blog Archive » Zope3 for Djangoers. Part 1: Installation: "I’ll try to write a series of posts to give the Zope3 newbie a little bit of knowledge so he/she doesn’t get lost in the Zope3 forrest. And more important, I’ll write them from a Djangoer perspective so you can always compare both frameworks."
