The event aims to boost jobs with new business models associated with the use of open technologies

Bilbao in November will become the epicenter of the software world free and open technologies with 2014 LibreCon celebration, a gathering of business and employment to be held on 11 and 12 and they have a large international presence.

This meeting will bring together the world of responsible business, government and education who wish to know what are the technology options that are becoming “more competitive and efficient” to some of the leading companies and government agencies of the State and Europe, as reported by the organizers in a statement.

The congress, which is held on 11 and 12 November in the Palace Euskalduna- aims the creation and revitalization of business and employment through conferences and dynamics around innovation, entrepreneurship and the use open technologies successful.

In this issue may meet some of the most important cases of European success around open technologies in public administrations, companies of all sizes and education sector.

The event will feature speakers from the likes of Enrique Dans, Xavier Guimard, project migration of the French Gendarmerie, responsible for large companies such as Ford, Banco Santander, Hotelopia, Eroski Group or startups and SMEs as CartoDB, Ticketbis among others.

This Congress is organized by the Association of Free Software in the Basque Country, ESLE, along with the National Federation of Enterprises in Free Software, ASOLIF.

The conference expects to bring together in Bilbao Euskalduna nearly 1,500 business leaders, institutions and national and international organizations working in this field, in order to place open technologies as “drivers of competitiveness” .

As explained its organizers, the idea is to make visible the real benefits of a sector that is contributing “decisively” to economic recovery and is a “real alternative” to companies and governments around . the world “through increased competitiveness, provided the great savings and the development of local economies,”

The theme of the 2014 LibreCon has focused on four strategic areas: industry, trade, finance and education fields where proven solutions that drive the generation of value added, not to mention others, such as health and the third sector will be presented. “It is, therefore, to show that new businesses associated with the use of open technologies are now creating new job contributing,” they added.

The conference will feature a conference area and workshops, with over 60 activities planned, which will discuss pioneering solutions worldwide. In the business world examples conducted in large and small organizations linked to Solutions in the Cloud, Mobility, Big Data and Electronic Commerce are displayed.

In addition, workshops and demos open solutions will be presented with a practical approach, which will be aimed at more technical or high decision-making power in the departments of IT companies profiles. The organization has reserved an additional 2,000 m2 space for other exhibitors in the area in which the participating companies and organizations will present their technological innovations.

The LibreCon 2014 sessions include entrepreneurship as the presentation European technological FINODEX accelerator, in order to find investors or partners to move forward with new projects related to open data and a budget of nearly 5 million over two years.

Similarly, the event is focused on promoting business networking, with many meetings and workshops to publicize success stories and proven solutions to increase the competitiveness and efficiency of organizations. To do so, has enabled an area for meetings One to One.

PAPERS

The main papers that will be presented at the 2014 LibreCon emphasizes the role of Peter Hoffman, the City of Munich, and project ICT migration of German public authorities to free software, with over 14,000 computers migrated.

This is one of the most successful projects undertaken in Europe in the field of a public authority, a municipal savings of more than 10 million euros in cost of technology.

From the national perspective, the Free Software implementations are discussed in the councils as of Biscay and Gipuzkoa, and municipalities such as Bilbao, San Sebastian and Zaragoza Eibar, among other administrations.

We also participate in the congress of Bilbao Stephan Dumond, most of the French Gendarmerie, which shall, as this police organization based on free software and open technologies in their everyday work. “The benefit of savings in licensing -HA explained Dumond- is just the tip of the iceberg.”

In academia, university representatives participate reference and Jorge Gomez, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, and Nuria Rico, University of Granada, who will discuss the projects developed by both universities in this field.

In the professional field, examples held in major national and international organizations such as Banco Santander will be shown, BBVA, Telefonica, Liferay or Ford and other firms such as Eroski, Perfume IF, Euskaltel Navarra Clinic, or Ticketbits and CartoDB.

In addition, it also confirmed the participation of Enrique Dans, IE Business School, one of the most influential in the field of ICT and business people.

A software facilitates computer programming language … – Trends 21

The computers have their own language, so they can only be programmed by those who know the code. A team of computer scientists in the (KIT), Germany, is working on software to facilitate human-machine communication, directly translating the natural language understandable by the computer codes.

As a result, any user could create their own applications with a few sentences. The difficulty lies in the complexity of natural language, do not always processes are described in a strictly chronological order. That is precisely the focus of research in the KIT, for what you have created a tool to automatically sort commands how the machine should run.

“We want to flee complicated rules for users and go to a smart computers to engage in dialogue with us,” explains Mathias Landhäußer scientist Institute for Program Structures and Data Organization (ITP) in the KIT statement released by the university. So far, a program can only be controlled through language if it is designed specifically for this purpose by the manufacturer. An example is sending text messages from a smartphone.

KIT researchers beyond, working on software that you install a language interface for any program. In this way, users will not only be authorized to open, but to manage their applications using voice commands. Currently, the interface has been successfully incorporated into an application that controls the heating, lighting and windows smart homes.

The problem of order

But not everything is rosy. “It will take some time not only that such complex software is operational, but also in natural language to program,” says Landhäußer. Until now, the main obstacle of communication between man and machine, the problem of order, has been solved using English as reference.

Landhäußer exemplified the phrase “Before starting the car, the garage door opens,” a “quite common in our language” description highlights. However, if the process is to running in the virtual world on a computer, a problem arises because the team executes commands successively in the order of arrival.

Returning to the same example, the computer receives the information first “car boot” and then “garage door open”. Therefore, the car crash into the garage door. “If a chain of actions is not foreseen in the program, in the best case nothing happens. At worst, the computer freezes “explains computer.

In contrast, the new software developed at KIT analyzes what was called warning words, usually adverbs or time dependent indicating that the spoken text does not describe the order of the process in a strictly linear fashion. These words of warning clarify if something is done “before” or “after”, “first” or “last”, regardless of the position information in a sentence.

Researchers logical formulas assigned to these words, in order to generate a chronological order in the source text. Applied to the above example, the formula for the signal word “before” the main clause moves automatically to the front. So the result would be “a garage door opens before starting the car.”

Adaptation Machine

The study bet this line after ruling out the possibility of an oral communication adapted to the computer as a reliable alternative. Early tests show that both people with no programming skills as connoisseurs are unable to speak in a strictly chronological order, even if asked to do so. Instead, they are unconsciously using words of warning. “Our goal is that your computer meets the user’s speech, and not vice versa,” qualifies Landhäußer.

In addition to the problem of order, researchers have identified other challenges in natural language programming. Individuals who underwent the experiment some words replaced by synonyms or pronouns. Computers do not automatically understand the term “car” means the same as “carrier” or “that” in the next sentence.

“People understand these relationships because the situation is projected as a movie on your retina. We are working to give computers the ability to understand the long term “, explains the scientist.

Free Software is only for rich countries or economic good times and waste

“Free software is only for rich countries, because it is an expense and not an investment,” a new statement with which we try to deceive.

Not too many days could read something in a forum on electronic signature, said a consultant from a transnational ICT dedicated to implementing proprietary software and / or sell large type consulting on SAP products: “Free software is only for richer or for times of economic prosperity and wasteful countries. “

Your assertion is based on strong, according to their judgment in the use that is operating systems do. According to him, since the largest percentage of users use windows, a public authority can not invest resources in developing free software as the desktop linux is used by very few people.

Of course, in this statement, there several major contradictions:

1.- Free Software is not only GNU / Linux, and, most importantly, free software platform is real, and it works equally well on Linux than on any other system proprietary operating. Even more, there are plenty of free software running on windows, Can examples? for example firefox or thunderbird, libreoffice / openoffice … among many others.

2.- forgets that in countries like Brazil the use of free software is becoming more mainstream day in Andalusia or all schools, community centers, libraries … use free software, and talked of many hundreds of thousands of computers.

3.- pay royalties or licenses for the simple right to use a computer program will never generate technological independence or wealth the region, but simply consumerism, supplier dependence and passive role instead of becoming actors and protagonists of technology.

4.- proprietary software has to concentrate knowledge, making the rest of simple regions and technological illiterate consumers.

And many other motivations that usually comment on my posts.

Of course, I reaffirm free software is not free to squander public money, nor can it become the excuse, as I have said a thousand and one interventions. But from there, to consider that free software is an expense because only used linux a few, I think an awful lot of large, most understand that ignorance is used so interested to see if, as so many nonsense takes hold . the technical and policy makers from government

And for the reasons stated ateriormente, along with all men and usually comment on this blog:

Software Free in government, the only option

This obviously bothers transnational, large consulting TICS and the cast of lobbyists, consultants, “Achievers” … there environment technologies and public, and hence, have contrived to find explanations as the initial statement administrations.

Because, as explained in the occasional interview, why the Administration does not use free software? Excuses are many, but real reasons, only two: corruption and ineptitude of those responsible

Because the crisis we are currently experiencing, it is not an economic crisis, but of values, what we need really is. freer and less software “neutrality”

And though all these reasons were not enough, I’d like to stay with the main.

• Betting Free software is not only opt for a model of creation and independence, sovereignty and providing you therefore put the course of your country or your administration in the hands of your citizenship and not on foreign technology corporations.
• Betting on free software is moving from simple consumer role, future and freedom to create.
• Betting Free software is not wasting scarce public resources, but mostly end technological addiction, mainly in education .

We demand our political leaders to release us from the technological chains that end with the current existing computer colonialism

Often, improvements in hardware or a particular characteristic of a device are nothing if the accompanying software is not up . Therefore, HTC wanted to show with a series of video , the powerful cameras of their new 13 MP Desire Eye and double flash are not only a claim and Eye Experience the software that controls them makes them much easier to handle and even fun. And is that HTC software not only lets you take a self portrait with just a smile, still look at the camera or say “cheese” but allows you to perform more “crazy” things like mix with a mugshot of someone else in a sort of digital metamorphosis.

Some of the features shown are tracking faces that keeps the focus on your face when you’re in a video, split the display to show the faces of several people or even show screen content in a video call . Other functions include the beautifying faces live with “digital makeup” that softens the factions in a self-portrait and the result can directly view before taking the picture, l to capture video from two cameras simultaneously , or metamorphosis of faces or mixture thereof , which allows you to see how would your image if you mix with someone else.

It certainly seems that HTC has not only equipped with powerful cameras to their new Desire Eye (and HTC One M8 Eye to start sold soon in China ), but has known supplement with interesting shooting modes to make them more attractive without adding much complexity.

Snowden urged not to use software that violates privacy – teleSUR TV

In the middle of an interview with The New Yorker magazine, the former agent of the National Security Agency (NSA), Edward Snowden, advised Internet users abandon any tool that does not have encryption information.

The former agent of the National Security Agency (NSA) Edward Snowden, concendió the sáboad an interview via videoconference to The New Yorker magazine; where he criticized the services for mass storage Internet information.

Snowden considers that services like Dropbox, Facebook and Google are “hostile to privacy” and aconsejano thus use them, because the process Data encryption is not completed successfully.

In this regard, the activist recommends using tools like SpiderOak; in which process include encrypting data while files are in the computer

Snowden. “We are talking about abandoning programs that are hostile to privacy”

From the perspective of a similar case Snowden applies to social networks like Facebook or Google services; ensures that they are “dangerous” and suggests people use other mechanisms for sending encrypted messages as RedPhone or SilentCircle.

In the video-conference exanalista NSA noted that maintains regular contact with “computer and cryptographers (…) to try to figure out how we can create solutions “that allow to be appreciated and viewed as a private business metadata.

BMW i3 software update in 2015 to solve some … – Motor.es

BMW i3 will update to prevent surprises, especially in the extended range model that causes loss of power when the battery charge is too low. The update is set to show at all times the charge level of the battery and warn the driver when a significant loss of energy can occur.

Customers of BMW i3 REX are not too happy with their vehicles due to a significant drop in power when the batteries are low . According to reports from consumers at times when the battery is very low and this is being recharged by the combustion engine power loss is so severe that it takes 27 sec. to reach 100 km / h in the best and to 40 sec. has come to report a remarkable difference from 7.9, approving the i3 REX.

The BMW i3 will receive new features in 2015.

The BMW i3 REX (Ranged Extended) arose in response to the need for customers to have greater cruising range and not suffer the dreaded anxiety about the range of our electric . I must admit that when I had a few days the Nissan Leaf would not stop watching autonomy while driving, even after fully charge the batteries.

So the up to 200 km range of the BMW i3 were increased to the 300 km in the version of extended range with the introduction of a small bi-cylindrical engine that was put in place to recharge the battery when it was running. Thus the car never let us down because we would have the opportunity at any time to fill the tank of a combustion engine station .

To have this advantage-and quietly never to stay halfway customers REX were willing to pay a difference of € 4,500 , higher taxes and that is not a zero-emissions vehicle and see how their benefits are reduced as a result of weight gain: it takes 0.7 seconds to do more in the 0 to 100 km / h as REX increases the weight in 120 kg . But they did not expect the surprise of having to bear huge losses promptly power.

Using GPS information batteries They prerararán to tackle pending in REX.

BMW has been quick to respond to the complaints of their consumed. A BMW spokesman announced that in 2015 will be a software update of the BMW i3 both electric and extended range. This update added new features to compact display at all times as the battery level, which is not the same as the estimated autonomy alert the driver when sudden power loss can occur and prepare batteries more energy when the vehicle is to close to slopes thanks to the GPS information.

This update will be applied with some retroactive since it will be installed in both vehicles purchased in 2015 as in 2014.

The software will be key in the war of phablets, not … – eju.tv

The large screen smartphones or phablets have been imposed in the current market, that one of the candidates prevails among others, should be noted for their software, not their hardware.

Look to your smartphone and the size of your screen . Now try to remember the size of your screen that had earlier, whether or not smartphone terminal. Probably the predecessor of its current smartphone has a smaller screen than the one you are using, is that the trend of phablets began with many comments of detractors, detractors have finally finished bowing to the virtues of these sizes. In fact, we have seen that Apple, a company that previously defended its screen size fiercely recently introduced the iPhone 6 Plus , a smartphone with a screen 5.5 inches that the request came in response to their customers for larger screens.

On the other hand we find in many sizes and many Android devices that can be considered phablets , but emphasizing among them Samsung Galaxy Note 4 5.7 inch screen , and is also Samsung which started the trend of increasing dramatically the screens three years ago. Finally, to be fair to the 3 major mobile operating systems, find the Lumia 1520 as a representative of the phablets on Windows Phone with a screen 6 inches .

Comparing these devices together roughly (note that the Lumia 1520 is the end of last year) will see their performance, fluidity and speed is more or less the same and is fantastic in the three cases, as manufacturers tend not to skimp on hardware to put it best of the best on these devices. also can not complain about the autonomy , leveraging its enormous size to include huge batteries, typically 2800 mAh on, and being the reason for purchase for many along with the simple fact of having a huge screen .

Therefore, what we complain of phablets What can manufacturers to distinguish their phablet of others and it will become the Alpha Male ? To answer this, we must first see the phablets , which only noted for a larger screen than normal and had nothing to exploited this circumstance. Currently, the situation has not improved the way you need to take the final to push this market segment, manufacturers need to make your phablets are for consumers more than a big screen, and the only way for this is to work on the software .

are no longer talking of these timid attempts we’ve seen by manufacturers as including a stylus, creating a way to handle with a hand or take the device in landscape mode to show more information in any application if you hold it vertically. These attempts are good but insufficient to motivate the final step of a normal one with a large screen smartphone. Manufacturers must obtain separate the concept of phablet of a normal smartphone, like the concepts of smartphone and tablet are separated.

Leverage large screens is critical for the future success of phablets. Obviously, I’m not asking them what you would on a tablet into a phablet , but I do think manufacturers and independent developers can get more out of this circumstance , with more tailored applications or software that works in conjunction with the hardware to give us what we need at any given time. A clear example would be to have a smaller version of the screen on one side of it automatically if the smartphone detects that we are holding it with one hand for X seconds, either by necessity ( you go on the bus or subway) or are you doing other things and you need the other hand free.

Another example would extend much what Apple has done in your mail application, at her in landscape shows more information at her vertical . Imagine a menu WhatsApp where you can go sailing through the various messages while you are watching developments in other groups or other conversations, or something similar in Pocket, Twitter clients that allow you to view multiple columns, or a version of Flipboard in landscape is a scroll side instead of vertical, like an ordinary book. The possibilities are endless. Those with stylus also phablets could improve the handwriting recognition software , making it more fluid and precise, which can be especially to annotate PDF or images.

Another interesting field is the multitasking, namely to have two applications open at once on the screen , something that some users do not just convince them. If you’re using phablet , you should assume that you have a big bigger than the average screen. Why not take advantage of that fact? Imagine going seeing photos you want to upload to your Instagram account while watching the latest news on Twitter, or to see a video on YouTube while you answer some mail or a message in WhatsApp. On the part of the manufacturers we have seen some attempts multitasking with some applications, but developers should work to achieve adaptation and further integration.

What manufacturers should it conclude that the phablet can highlight a product with its own identity, like the Note range has managed to establish itself as a Samsung range, beyond the Galaxy S. The phablets They are large with huge screens, and most can see this as negative points when you buy when, with a little work and adapting the software that accompanies it, can be more attractive and become advantages , especially in diverse areas such as corporate, who likes to do two or more things at once or just those who prefer a large screen to see more at a glance. The phablets are already here and nobody will take, just have to make them feel at home

Malicious software attacks also mobile devices – The Nacional.com

Computer viruses, and generally malicious software or malware, evolve faster than the security tools designed to combat them. Personal computers have faced this reality for over three decades, and now that smartphones and tablets are growing exponentially, threats have spread to the mobile field.

When the two incumbent mobile environments are compared, Android and Apple’s iOS, the former has been more vulnerable, especially Apple’s grip on publishing apps. But the determining factor in the rise of mobile viruses has to do with the users, who download apps from unofficial sites other than Google Play the Apple App Store.

How does the malware on mobile? In most cases I undercover from a seemingly innocent application and uses the permissions granted to the application to send pictures and other information to an external server without the user noticing.

expensive Shortcuts

Even for the iPhone, with a very low attack rate, if an application gets permission to use the user’s location, may also have access to the photos, even if it has not been expressly authorized.

But users who unlock their iPhone to install software from unauthorized sites are contributing to leave a back door open to malware.

In addition to spyware, in markets like the United States, much of the mobile malware, allow shipments of premium SMS messages through intermediaries who take a percentage, or download files without authorization. The source of these threats is located on servers of third parties, other than the official store.

How to protect

All providers of security products are offering apps to smartphones and tablets in addition to constantly monitoring the activity of mobile applications They check at the time the user starts an installation. For example, in the recent launch of its new range of security software, Venezuela Panda Security offers a free month of your Android system for mobile and annual payment in bolivars.

The independent laboratory AV Test held in June passed a thorough study of 36 security applications for Android. Throughout the test, all applications had to scan 3 times the updated reference set consisting of AV-TEST 2300 malware and recognize applications and malicious attacks.

The applications with the highest level of protection are those of AhnLab, Antiy, Avira, Bitdefender, Cheetah Mobile (three versions), G Data, Kaspersky, McAfee, Qihoo, Symantec, Trend Micro and TrustGo. Some are free and some for sale, although the latter can be tested for a period of between two weeks and one month.

Comedy Club in Barcelona uses recognition software … – wwwhat’s new?

Teatreneu club, a comedy club located in Barcelona, ​​is using a new method to decide how much to charge to attendees. The idea is to offer fair prices, so if you’re not having fun, you leave without paying. This is a project that has been possible to develop thanks to the collaboration of advertising agency The Cyranos McCann and software face detection.

To achieve this, iPads are installed on the back of each seat, equipped with an application of face recognition known as Pay per Laugh, and using its front camera will be able to detect when viewers laugh. This makes it possible to ensure that charges for laughs, so if the show is not funny, this will be reflected in the account. The fare is 0.30 euros for every laugh, even if the account will never exceed a maximum of 24 euros. This means that when you’ve laughed 80 times, the rest of the laughs are free. Apparently, this system began to be used as part of an experiment to see if saw increased attendance. In addition to achieve this, it was found that the average ticket price rose six local euros. installed on every iPad application has the ability to complete the payment without even getting out of the chair, and to check each of our registered share laughter and social networks.

No doubt it is an idea that has proved so successful that is already being implemented in many other similar premises. Then we leave you with a video of the project:

Hamburg want to migrate to free software – Rebellion

Following the example of Munich, the German city of Hamburg ICT solutions could migrate to free software and open source, if the proposal is approved Green Party (Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen) The group has organized a conference on 21 October in cooperation with the Open Business Alliance (OSB) to discuss opportunities for software code open for business, society and government.

“Digital sovereignty and the advantages and challenges of a transition toward open source are discussing the matter” and addressing “why Germany is lagging behind in the use of open source,” explained from the Green Party and have asked the President of the Commission of Justice and Consumer Protection of the Federal Bundestag, start a debate on “advances in digital consumer protection in the context of open source.”

The group has requested the use of free software in Hamburg says “open source enables innovation and increases safety and autonomy. The city administration should emphasize this when you have to choose ICT solutions. We want to lead by example. We want a strategy that includes abandoning the proprietary software used by the government of Hamburg, “say from the German Green Party, with strong presence in all German administrations.
