Orca, the screen reader of the GNOME Desktop, is moving into previously-uncharted territory: giving computer users who are blind -- and the developers of the assistive technologies they use -- a single tool which is more tightly integrated within the platform and designed to access multiple desktop environments, including KDE. Orca, the screen reader of the GNOME Desktop, is moving into previously-uncharted territory: giving computer users who are blind -- and the developers of the assistive technologies they use -- a single tool which is more tightly integrated within the platform and designed to access multiple desktop environments, including KDE. This session will take a brief look back at the history of Orca and screenreaders in general and bring audience up to speed on screen reading technologies. With this foundation laid, the current and future development of Orca will be presented, including the team’s efforts to further eliminate access barriers for people with visual impairments.

Title: Pharo Consortium: A roadmap to solid evolution. Type: Abstract: The Pharo Consortium takes action to guarantee the growth of Pharo as a community organisation as well as supports its development into ever-changing requirements of today’s computing needs. In this talk I will present the current status of Pharo Consortium, its consolidation as Pharo governance structure and the actions taken to make Pharo a more robust environment. I will also review the Pharo 7 development and direction for Pharo 8 and beyond. Bio: Esteban Lorenzano studied Computer Sciences at Universidad de Buenos Aires, and worked since 1994 in several object-oriented and low-level technologies, in different software companies, serving in various positions from programmer to senior architect. In 2007 he co-founded Smallworks to offer Pharo-based agile development projects. Since 2012 he dedicated full time to developing the Pharo code and community. He works with the INRIA-RMoD team in Lille, France, as core developer for Pharo, being responsible with the coordination of new releases, the implementation and maintenance of Pharo libraries and the maintenance of the Pharo flavour of the Cog Virtual Machine, FFI integration and plugins in all major platforms (OSX, Linux and Windows).

TEE security infrastructure is now upstream in the Linux kernel, thanks to the hard work of many people in the ARM open source ecosystem. In this upcoming webinar, Joakim Bech and Jens Wiklander of the Linaro Security Working Group explain: ‣ Why upstream Linux kernel driver support is an important milestone. ‣ The relationship with specifications such as GlobalPlatform. ‣ A recap of the design principles for the TEE driver. ‣ How to get involved with TEE development. This webinar is based on the work of the Linaro Security Working Group. Their work helps Linaro achieve its mission of providing upstream open source support for the ARM ecosystem. The webinar will be of interest to developers and engineering managers who would like the latest status on TEE support in Linux, particularly those looking to develop secure applications with e.g. OP-TEE. It’s also a great case study for those interested in the challenges of Linux kernel upstreaming. There will be the opportunity to ask questions before, during and after the webinar. 🎙 Speakers: Joakim Bech, Security Working Group Tech Lead, Linaro Jens Wiklander, Security Working Group Engineer & Upstream Driver Author, Linaro 🎯 Moderator: Bill Fletcher, EMEA Field Engineering, Linaro ✨ Register here http://linaro.co/webinar01 For more information on...

Presented at JAX London 2013 Ever since Java’s inception, in 1995, people have been compiling languages that aren’t Java to bytecode and deploying them on the JVM. Lately we are seeing an explosion in JVM languages. This is partly, but not only, because of Java 7, the first JVM to ship with invokedynamic, which is a quantum leap in polyglot runtime implementation. This session explains why emerging language implementations are becoming more common and more feasible to implement on the JVM with satisfactory performance.

With more memory available, system performance of three Dell devices increased, which can translate to a better user experience Conclusion When your system has plenty of RAM to meet your needs, you can efficiently access the applications and data you need to finish projects and to-do lists without sacrificing time and focus. Our test results show that with more memory available, three Dell PCs delivered better performance and took less time to complete the Procyon Office Productivity benchmark. These advantages translate to users being able to complete workflows more quickly and multitask more easily. Whether you need the mobility of the Latitude 5440, the creative capabilities of the Precision 3470, or the high performance of the OptiPlex Tower Plus 7010, configuring your system with more RAM can help keep processes running smoothly, enabling you to do more without compromising performance.

Created by Mozilla Research in 2012 and now part of Linux Foundation Europe, the Servo project is an experimental rendering engine written in Rust. It combines memory safety and concurrency to create an independent, modular, and embeddable rendering engine that adheres to web standards. Stewardship of Servo moved from Mozilla Research to the Linux Foundation in 2020, where its mission remains unchanged. After some slow years, in 2023 there has been renewed activity on the project, with a roadmap now focused on improving the engine’s CSS 2 conformance, exploring Android support, and making Servo a practical embeddable rendering engine. In this presentation, Rakhi Sharma reviews the status of the project, our recent developments in 2023, our collaboration with Tauri to make Servo an easy-to-use embeddable rendering engine, and our plans for the future to make Servo an alternative web rendering engine for the embedded devices industry.

Enterprise Knowledge’s Urmi Majumder, Principal Data Architecture Consultant, and Fernando Aguilar Islas, Senior Data Science Consultant, presented "Driving Behavioral Change for Information Management through Data-Driven Green Strategy" on March 27, 2024 at Enterprise Data World (EDW) in Orlando, Florida. In this presentation, Urmi and Fernando discussed a case study describing how the information management division in a large supply chain organization drove user behavior change through awareness of the carbon footprint of their duplicated and near-duplicated content, identified via advanced data analytics. Check out their presentation to gain valuable perspectives on utilizing data-driven strategies to influence positive behavioral shifts and support sustainability initiatives within your organization. In this session, participants gained answers to the following questions: - What is a Green Information Management (IM) Strategy, and why should you have one? - How can Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) support your Green IM Strategy through content deduplication? - How can an organization use insights into their data to influence employee behavior for IM? - How can you reap additional benefits from content reduction that go beyond Green IM?

What are drone anti-jamming systems? The drone anti-jamming systems and anti-spoof technology protect against interference, jamming, and spoofing of the UAVs. To protect their security, countries are beginning to research drone anti-jamming systems, also known as drone strike weapons. The anti-jam and anti-spoof technology protects against interference, jamming and spoofing. A drone strike weapon is a drone attack weapon that can attack and destroy enemy drones. So what is so unique about this amazing system?
