【04/06 TOSSUG 心得分享】jserv: LLVM 力 -- 軟體的價值由編譯器決定

[English below]

我真的懶得寫了,講者是 jserv 耶!大家說說看,還需要我介紹嗎?更何況神級的 jserv 早在四個禮拜!四個禮拜前就把簡介大綱寫完了! m(_._)m

大家就不用看我囉嗦,直接看 jserv 寫的簡介吧!


簡介: 當今資訊建設中,無論硬體架構為何,軟體開發可說清一色為 framework 導向,從 iPhone、Netbook、到大型伺服器交易系統,無不都思考如何更多元、更安全、更有效率地發揮硬體特性。當編譯器技術走入新的層次時,就需要更強大且多元的 Toolkit/framework。去年筆者已在 OSDC.tw 的〈窮得只剩下 Compiler〉探討過資訊技術的典範移轉 (paradigm shift) 與突破限制的可能性,今年則打算透過實務的開發,探討編譯器嶄新的革命。改編女王的話:「請您一定要相信:軟體的價值由編譯器決定,我們當然可以活到老、Coding 到老」。

議程大綱:
- 如火如荼發展的 LLVM
- 動手用 LLVM:不是為了取悅硬體而寫編譯器,而是為自己而寫編譯器
- LLVM 為基礎的自由軟體專案回顧

Hi,

I'm happy to announce that jserv is coming to talk about LLVM next week. He is so famous that I don't need to introduce him anymore. The following is his introduction to his talk, translated by me. Any mistakes are my own.

No matter what the hardware architecture is, it is safe to say that the development of software on top of it is framework oriented nowadays. From iPhone, Netbook to large scale transactional server systems, people all are trying to squeeze the last drop out of the hardware more securely, more efficiently and in more ways. When the compiler technology steps up to a new level, stronger and more diversified toolkits/frameworks are called for. I have given a talk "compiler is all I have" one the paradigm shift of information technology and the possibility of a break through in OSDC.tw last year. I'd like to discuss the brand new revolution of compiler technology via pragmatic development this year. Rephrasing the words of the Queen: "You must believe: the value of software is decided by compilers. We can surely keeping coding until we're old."

Outline:
- LLVM on a soar
- Hands-on LLVM: writing compiler not to please hardware, but for oneself
- An overview of free software projects based on LLVM

【03/02 TOSSUG 心得分享】Juha Lindfors: Introduction to the openremote project

[English below]

你想用 iPhone 或 Android 手機遙控家裡的電器嗎?

感謝 wycc 的介紹,我們很高興邀請到 openremote.org 的 Juha Lindfors [1] 來 Tossug,親自向大家介紹 openremote.org 這個開放源碼專案。

    demo: http://www.youtube.com/user/openremote#p/a/u/0/kOp07U82cRs

    Juha Lindfors 目前熱血在衝居家自動化的開放源碼軟體,在加入 openremote.org 之前,他是 JBoss [2] 的核心開發者,身兼 JBoss 顧問、講者和 JBoss 訓練單位的協理,還行有餘力出了一本 Java Management Extensions 的書 [3]。


    演講摘要:

    打造「智慧住家」(Smart Home)所需的居家自動化技術,目前多半用的是專屬的技術和協定,缺乏互通和替換性。因為廠商想要把顧客鎖在他們自家的產品裡,顧客很難自行客製化或擴充產品的功能,這常常造成裝機成本的上升。

    OpenRemote 是個用 GPL 授權釋出的開放源碼專案,想要打造一個居家自動化的自由開放平台。它是基於 Linux 和 Java runtime 的一個中介軟體,可以在一般 PC 上執行。OpenRemote 社群把好幾種居家自動化的協定和設備整合起來,希望能解放智慧住家的真正潛力,而且讓一般人都負擔得起。

    Juha 將會從基本的居家自動化開始講,並把 OpenRemote 專案的現況介紹給大家。

    Abstract of the talk:

    OpenRemote is an Open Source effort to create an open and free platform for home automation. The smart homes of today are mostly based on proprietary technology and protocols that lack interoperability. This is driving up the cost of installation as vendors attempt to lock their customers into solutions that are difficult to extend and customize.

    OpenRemote is a software stack based on Linux and Java runtime installable on commodity PC hardware and under the GPL license. Our community integrates various home automation protocols and devices under a single, open platform. The goal is to unlock the true potential of smart homes at affordable prices. This talk gives an introduction to home automation and the current state of the OpenRemote project.

[English below]

我們很高興邀請到在消費性電子業界打滾多年的 Linux Hacker: Scott Tsai (蔡彰人)[1]

他是 FreedomHEC Taipei 2009 [2] 活動的籌辦人之一,本身也是硬底子的軟體工程師,平時多與國外的開發者直接交流,專長為 Device Drivers, Linux Kernel, ISO 13818, DVB, Set-Top Box, TV,如果有參加過 FreedomHEC Taipei 2009 的話就會知道那兩天之中來了許多國外重量級的 Linux Kernel 開發者,其中一天 Linux 的重量級開發者 Greg KH [3] 介紹了如何寫一個 USB 溫度計的驅動程式,有些與會者甚花了 TWD 1500 買了那隻 USB 溫度計,而 Scott 將在這次的心得分享當中,介紹如何用軟體去模擬那隻硬體的 USB 溫度計。

演講內容:
修改 QEMU 原始碼使其可以模擬 USB device 端,而非 USB host 端的 controller 硬體。例如當我們將手機透過 USB 接到電腦時,電腦是 USB host,手機是 USB device。做完此工作的用處是可以用模擬器,而不必用實際硬體進行 USB device protocol 開發。手機常支援但 Linux kernel 內 USB gadget driver 目前沒有實作的 device class 包括:
* 數位相機用的 media transfer protocol
* Android 自訂的存取 shell 與拷貝檔案用的 adb protocol

演講大綱:
* The QEMU emulator and its target market
* USB host and device support in QEMU
* Previous attempts at extending USB device support in QEMU
* The USB/IP project and protocol
* USB device controller hardware interface
* Connecting it all together
* What it takes to productize this work and merge it upstream

Abstract of the talk:

I'll introduce modification of QEMU source codes to emulate USB device instead of controller hardware on the USB host side. In case you are not familiar with USB, the USB host on a computer to cell phone USB connection is the computer, and the USB device is the cell phone. With the emulator equipped with the USB device emulation, you can develop and test your USB device protocol without using hardware. The device classes that cell phones often support but the USB gadget driver of Linux kernel doesn't implement includes:
* the media transfer protocol of digital cameras
* the adb protocol defined by Android for shell access and file copy

Outline:
* The QEMU emulator and its target market
* USB host and device support in QEMU
* Previous attempts at extending USB device support in QEMU
* The USB/IP project and protocol
* USB device controller hardware interface
* Connecting it all together

以下是講者提供的簡介和大綱。

Try自由軟體怎麼可以沒有中文呢? 這正是Tryneeds-Chinese 中文化平台最單純的成立動
機。

當我們開始接觸自由軟體,相信最直覺的就是希望軟體打開來時能看到正體中文介面,而
一直以來我們都是期待或以為總有一些社群朋友在幫大家做中文化,確實,真的就是有一
群默默奉獻的社群朋友,才有今天正體中文的成就。

如果您和我們一樣支持自由軟體,我們除了感謝這些社群朋友的貢獻,是不是也應該以具
體行動支持他們,並且讓自己也成為社群的一份子,也許您真的曾經有這樣的想法,但卻
不知從何參與起,相信Tryneeds會是一個很好的開始。

我們建立Tryneeds中文化共筆平台的目的,就是希望所有人都可以很輕易的成為中文化社
群的一份子,參與自由軟體的共創與共享,共同建置及維護自由軟體的中文化。

Tryneeds目前已完成初步的平台建置,並已開放測試使用,同時我們也正在匯整各位的寶
貴意見,若是您跟我們一樣關心自由軟體中文化的發展,歡迎您的參與和指教,若您有興
趣進一步參與開發群組的討論,歡迎您與我們聯絡,聯絡信箱為:tryneeds@gmail.com

此外, 教育類自由軟體與自由教材也是我們努力的目標之一. 從找尋適當的軟體與教材,
進行中文化, 到編寫使用手冊. 以 Gchemutils (Gchempaint) 為例, 這是 Gnome 下的化
學軟體,包括週期表, 立體分子看圖, 平面繪圖等功能,
適用於高中生大學生及研究生. 跟上游連絡取得同意後放到 Tryneeds 上由團隊成員進行
翻譯, 完成後提交給原作者. 2009 年 3 月份所釋出的新版中, 原作者已經將我們的中文
化檔案放到套件裏, 就這樣, 大家分工合作, 讓更多人可以使用正體中文化的化學軟體.
而 PhET 是非常受到學校老師歡迎的自由授權的教材, 目前我們正在逐漸的進行中文化,
希望可以提供學生, 家長, 老師, 及教授們方便學習與教學的環境.

大綱:

(1) Tryneeds計劃緣起與相關計劃
 (相關計劃包含WeStart選單,Wekey-wiki教學資源共筆)
(2) Tryneeds中文化共筆平台簡介
 (平台建置構想、建置技術、功能特色與未來發展)
(3) 另一個不容忽視的中文化議題-自由教材中文化
 (如PhET http://phet.colorado.edu)

How can there be no Chinese when someone tries out a free software?
This is the simplest motivation for creating the Tryneeds-Chinese
localization platform.

We hope that, by establishing the Tryneeds localization wiki platform,
everyone can contribute to localization. We have completed the initial
stage of building the platform, and it is open for testers. Everyone is
welcome to participate and send comments to us at tryneeds@gmail.com.

Besides localization, free software and free content for education are also
our goals. We identify proper software and content, localize them, and
write user's manuals. Gchemutils (Gchempaint), a chemistry software
for periodic table, 3-dimensional molecule geometry and 2-dimensional
drawings. It works in Gnome and can be used in high school and universities.
We have localized it on the tryneeds platform.

Hi,

I'm happy to announce that jserv will come to Tossug to talk about
LLVM next Tuesday (May 5).

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Time:  2009/5/5 (Tuesday), 7:30pm -
Topic: Riding LLVM through 3 gates (ask a Taiwanese friend for the
story behind "riding a white horse through 3 gates"  :)
Speaker: jserv
Language: Chinese
Place: *Second floor* of Mix Coffee & Tea
(http://wiki.tossug.org/MixCoffee&Tea )
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The following is the abstract and outline of the talk provided by the
speaker, translated to English by pingooo.

Since 1960s, the compiler technology keeps growing and changing, and
is a solid foundation of computer science now. GCC and LLVM (Low Level
Virtual Machine) has accumulated stunning technologies and achieved
unprecedented success through open source. Although parser is a key
component of compiler technology, we're putting more emphasis on the
demonstration of end-to-end development. Technologies that have been
well known but seemingly independent with each other, like virtual
machine, binary translator, JIT compiler, HotSpot JVMd optimization,
and so on, are now integrated by technologies like LLVM and go a long
way. Jserv, a member of 0xlab, will share with audiences his knowledge
about the role of LLVM in this brand new application, and discuss the
achievements of LLVM related technology.

Outline
(1) Drastically different compiler - brand new application model
towards binary translation, virtualization, JIT/VM, etc.
(2) Core elements of LLVM
  * virtual instruction set / IR
  * highly integrated compiler components (analyzer, code
emitter/generator, JIT compiler, GC)
  * complete tool set (assembler, debugger, linker)
(3) Technical demo
   * Doom (written in C) running on Adobe Flash / Web Browser
   * Doom (written in C/SDL) running on Android / Dalvik VM
(4) Trends of software development

【4/7 TOSSUG 心得分享】gasolin: Android 應用程式設計大不同

[English below]
自從 Google 於 2007 年 12 月公佈 Android 這個手機平台計劃以來,新聞就沒有間斷
過。而 2008 年 10 月份 Google 依之前的承諾公開了 Android 的原始碼,更引起了不
少業者和市場分析師的注目。

Android Market 上有個非常有用的應用程式: aTrackDog,可以幫 Android 使用者追
蹤裝在手機裡的應用程式的版本,當新版出現在 Android Market 上的時候會自動通知
使用者,很方便。

下個禮拜二(4 月 7 日)我們請到 aTrackDog 的開發者之一,Gasolin,來和大家分享
他在設計 Android 應用程式上的體會,尤其是 設計 Android 應用和設計一般應用的不
同之處,Gasolin 也會做出比較,不論您以前是否設計過手機上的應用程式,一定都會
收穫良多!

順便打書一下... Gasolin 最近剛出書「Google!Android 手機應用程式設計入門」,
想索取作者簽名的人,禮拜二是個好機會唷!(咦?這是 Tossug 的第一場簽書會耶!)

以下是講者提供的簡介和大綱。

Android 是建構於 Linux 平台之上的應用程式框架。Linux 一般應用程式直接負責處理
記憶體配置、調用系統功能等動作,而 Android 應用程式則不同。Android 應用程式是
透過 Android 框架,來處理各種資源或呼叫其他 Android 應用程式。本演講中會將
Android 應用程式與一般應用程式設計作比較,來察看 Android 應用程式與一般應用程
式設計的差異。並了解設計 Android 系統架構時的抉擇,如何影響了 Android 應用程
式設計。

大綱
* 與 Linux 應用程式對比
* Android 框架
* Android 應用程式功能
* Android VM
* Android 應用程式生命週期
* Android 應用程式展示

Hi,

I'm happy to announce that Gasolin, a major developer of the aTrackDog Android
application and the author of the book "Google!Android 手機應用程式設計入門"
(Introduction to Google! Android Application Design), will come to Tossug to
talk about Android application development and the differences with developing
traditional applications next Tuesday (April 7).

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Time:  2009/4/7 (Tuesday), 7:30pm - 9:30pm.
Topic: Android Application Development -- not the same as other mobile apps
Speaker: Gasolin
Language: Chinese
Place: *Basement* of Mix Coffee & Tea ( http://wiki.tossug.org/MixCoffee&Tea )
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The following is the abstract and outline of the talk provided by the speaker.

Android is an application program framework built on top of Linux.
Ordinary Linux applications are responsible for things like allocating
memories, calling system calls, and so on, but not for Android applications.
An Android application deals with resources or calling other Android
applications through the Android framework. In this talk, I will compare
Android application development with ordinary application development, and
talk about how the design choices of Android system architecture affects the
development of Android applications.

Outline
* Contrast with Linux applications
* Android framework
* Features of Android applications
* Android VM
* Life cycle of an Android application
* Demo of Android applications

【3/10 TOSSUG 心得分享】WalkingIce: 淺談 Edje of EFL

[English below]

好久不見的 Enlightenment Window Manager,原來有秘密計劃?

下個禮拜二(3 月 10 日)我們請到 WalkingIce 來和大家分享 Englightenment 釀了好
久的好酒:Enlightenment Foundation Libraries,不論您是否要開發圖形介面應用,相
信都能從中獲益不少。

----------------------------------------------------------------------
時間:  2009/3/10 星期二,分享時間 7:30pm 開始,請提早到場入座用餐或點飲料
主題:  淺談 Edje of EFL
主講人: WalkingIce
語言:  中文
地點:  Mix Coffee & Tea ( http://wiki.tossug.org/MixCoffee&Tea ) *地下室*
最低消費:100元
注意事項:有免費的無線上網,請別把 notebook 忘在家裡。
----------------------------------------------------------------------

以下是講者提供的簡介、大綱和相關網頁。

Enlightenment,一個歷史悠久的 Window Manager,在 1996 年首次釋出。
開發者在 2000 年開始嘗試全新的 E17,至今經過八年多的時間,E17 步趨成熟。
在這段時間內,主要開發者投注極大心力在 EFL 身上 (Enlightenment Foundation
Library)。EFL 乃 E17 的基石,提供了完整的函式庫,致力解決所有與圖形介面有關的
工作。Edje 便是其中一項,將使用者介面與程式邏輯分開,常常聽見的 Design
Pattern: MVC 架構在 Edje 中可以很輕易地被實現,甚至可以做到抽換介面, 只需更
換一個檔案,程式的介面即刻截然不同。這也是主要開發者之一,Raster 的極大心願:

「Designer 專心於外觀,Programmer 專心於邏輯」。

這一次的分享,著重在 Edje 之上,介紹 Edje 的思考邏輯以及使用方式。
輔以簡單的實作,希望能幫助大家一探 EFL 的美妙。

大綱
* EFL 的歷史與現況
* 如何取得 EFL
* 淺談 EFL 的各個函式庫
* 如何使用 Edje

.................................................................

Hi,

WalkingIce will come to introduce Enlightenment Foundation Libraries
next Tuesday. The following is the introduction and outline of the talk.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Time: 2009/3/10 (Tuesday), 7:30pm - 9:30pm.
Topic: Introduction to Edje of EFL
Speaker: WalkingIce
Language: Chinese
Place: *Basement* of Mix Coffee & Tea ( http://wiki.tossug.org/MixCoffee&Tea )
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction:

Enlightenment, a Window Manager with a lot of history, was released
for the first time in 1996. The developers started working on E17 in 2000.
After 8 years, E17 is getting mature. During this period of time, the main
developers have contributed a lot of effort into EFL (Enlightenment
Foundation Libraries). EFL, the cornerstone of E17, provides a complete
set of libraries for tasks related to graphical user interfaces. Edje is a
part of EFL. It enables separation of user interface from program logic.
The well known design pattern of MVC architecture can be easily realized
with Edje. Replacing the user interface only requires replacing one single
file. This is the biggest wish of Raster, a main developer:

"Designer focuses on the look, programmer focuses on the logic."

We will concentrate on Edje in this talk: the philosophy of Edje and
how to use Edje. Hopefully the addition of some simple example
implementations can get you started with the beautiful EFL.


Outline:

* The history and current status of EFL
* How to get EFL
* Introduction to various libraries of EFL
* How to use Edje

Please let me report to you a change of meeting place. Because

Vegabond Cafe sometimes are closed without advanced notice, we are

moving to Mix Coffee & Tea. We'll usually meet in the second floor

because it is roomier, but use the basement for talks because it is

quieter.



The following is the annoucement for the talk next week.





After much anticipation, Python 3.0 was released on December 3, 2008.

This version is intentionally incompatible with 2.x versions. Let me

quote Guido van Rossum, Python's inventor: "by and large, we're mostly

fixing well-known annoyances and warts, and removing a lot of old

cruft." I'll share with audiences the major changes and some example

codes.

performing and energy saving Linux desktop environment maintained by

an international community of developers. It comes with a beautiful

interface, multi-language support, standard keyboard short cuts and

additional features like tabbed file browsing. LXDE uses less CPU and

less RAM. It is especially designed for computers with low hardware

specifications like netbooks, mobile internet devices (MIDs) or older

computers. LXDE can be installed with distributions like Ubuntu or

Debian. Applications running on these systems will run with LXDE. The

source code of LXDE is licensed partly under the terms of the General

Public License and partly under the LGPL.



Outline



1. What is LXDE

 A. A software project with the goals and design principles for a

faster, performing and energy saving desktop environment

 B. A desktop drop in replacement for GNOME and KDE with independent

components as an efficient way to achieve the goals of the project

 C. A continuous development project for a simpler desktop with a

thought through future roadmap



2. Who develops LXDE

 A. The founding developers of LXDE from Taiwan

 B. Contributors from all over the world who joined development and

collaborate over the Internet

 C. People who believe in freedom and join the community



3. Which companies and projects use LXDE

 A. Several netbook projects use LXDE or LXDE components

 B. First companies from the US started to explore the commercial

opportunities with LXDE, LXDEsystems is the company that includes most

of the developers and the founder of the project known as PCMan

 C. LXDEsystems engages with hardware manufacturers and works on

因此 KsanaGTK 不但可以用來交談試地開發具有runtime彈性和可程式化的GTK應用程式;透過研讀KsanaGTK的程式碼,還能更好地掌握 GTK 架構和設計思路。

KsanaGTK以GPL 3.0釋出。源碼在: http://svn.ksana.tw/svn-repos/ksanagtk
詳細說明:http://tutor.ksana.tw/ksanagtk/

大綱:
1) GTK 簡介
2) Forth 簡介:一個typeless, 後置式、極精簡的腳本語言
3) 關於 GUI 的幾個基本概念:元件、事件、回呼
4) 從 Forth 呼叫 GTK API
5) 從GTK 回呼 Forth
6) 現場示範 (Win32 and Linux )

Time: 2008/8/26 (Tuesday), 7:00pm~
Topic: KsanaGTK : Building GTK Application with Forth
Speaker: Yap
Language: Chinese
Place: http://wiki.tossug.org/HumanitySpace

KsanaGTK is a Forth language binding for GTK. in constract with other scripting language bindings, e.g, lua-gtk, gtk#, gtk2-perl, php-gtk, pygtk, which may be hundreds of thousand lines of code, KsanaGTK is built up by less then 400 lines of C code. Therefore KsanaGTK is not only a interactive developing environment for GTK application with runtime flexibility and programability, but you can also acquire better understanding of GTK architecture and design concept by studying KsanaGTK itself.

KsanaGTK is licensed under GPL 3.0 , it can be checked out from
http://svn.ksana.tw/svn-repos/ksanagtk
Detail Chinese explaination of KsanaGTK can be found in
http://tutor.ksana.tw/ksanagtk/

KsanaGTK : Building GTK Application with Forth , interactively.
Outline:
1) Introduction to GTK
2) Introduction to Forth: A typeless, postfix, low foot-print scripting language
3) Basic concepts of GUI: widget, signal(event) , callback (handler)
4) Calling GTK API from Forth
5) Allow GTK to call Forth
6) Live demo (Win32 and Linux)

【6/17 TOSSUG 心得分享】Jouston: Ubuntu 的新玩意:Hardy Heron 和 Netbook Remix

[English below]

Hi,

這週二(6/17)我們請到 Canonical 的 Jouston 來為大家介紹二個新的 Ubuntu 發行套件:最新的長期支援版
Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 LTS 和網路上專為小型筆記型電腦設計的 Ubuntu Netbook Remix。

Ubuntu 是全世界最受歡迎的桌面 Linux 發行套件,應該不用我多作介紹了吧? :)

Ubuntu 每半年出一個新版,對於喜愛嚐試新鮮軟體的人是很好的選擇。因為每個版本都伴隨一年半的 security
updates,所以不想馬上升級的人也不用擔心系統上萬一有安全漏洞會沒人修補。對於需要使用同一版本超過一年半的人,Ubuntu
隔幾個版本會推出一次長期支援版(LTS - Long Term Support),提供三年的 security updates。上一次推出
LTS 是二年前的事了,今年四月推出的 Hardy Heron 是最新的長期支援版,裡面有哪些軟體和哪些最新的功能呢?來聽 Jouston
的介紹吧!

自從每童一機(One Laptop Per Child)計劃喊出百元筆電之後,再加上華碩的 EeePC
熱賣,筆記型電腦的市場顯然受到巨大的震動,各家品牌紛紛推出小型筆記型電腦(netbook),在今年六月的 Computex 上就看到
Acer、Gigabyte、HP 等等廠商的展示,而 Linux 在 netbook 市場有不小的角色,Ubuntu 也在今年
Computex 上發布了專為 netbook 設計的 Ubuntu Netbook Remix。想看看這個剛出爐的 Linux
有什麼特異功能嗎?一樣來聽 Jouston 介紹就對了!
