Seth Spitzer will be speaking on the current state of Firefox 3, the improvements being made for end users, web application and content developers, and add-on (extension) authors. Seth will also be talking about the various ways get involved with Mozilla project.

Seth Spitzer is a Senior Software Engineer at the Mozilla Corporation where he works on Firefox. He's been involved with the Mozilla project since 1998. After receiving his graduate degree in Computer Science from Stanford University in 1996, Seth helped develop e-mail and messenger products at Netscape, which became the roots of Mozilla’s Thunderbird e-mail client.

Porta2030 是台北市立美術館（TFAM）2006/11/4 - 2007/2/25 的「台北雙年展」﹣「（限制級）瑜珈」的一部分，想像西元 2030 年時，因某不知名的原因，所有手機網絡和網際網路的主幹完全癱瘓，這時一群人用OpenWrt DIY起自己手邊的無線基地台，串連出一個去中心化的網路，成為溝通聲音、照片、影 像的主要媒介。因為無線基地台很小、耗電也不大，這群人可以將無線基地台穿在身上（porta-pack），成為一個行動網路。
用OpenWrt DIY基地台？這是基地台的重生？還是只是另外一個Linux Distrubution？而且我們還要把基地台穿在身上走。那移動的基地台還是基地台嗎？讓我們告訴你，你還可以用基地台創造什麼樣自己的故事。

This talk will give a brief introduction into the ideas of wireless mesh
networking, explaining how hundreds of routers can organize themselves in a
city wide network. We will present the technologies deployed in Berlin, its
limitations and outline the problems we faced which ultimately led to the
decission to develop our own protocol. We will show why B.A.T.M.A.N . is far
more resource effective than its predecessors, how the builtin gateway
tunneling helps stablilising your internet connection, prevents IP spoofing
and can even negotiate automatic encryption. The next stage " B.A.T.M.A.N.
advanced" (the layer 2 implemention of the B.A.T.M.A.N. routing algorithm)
goes even further and introduces the next generation of path discovery by
hooking deep into the wlan hardware.

Macpaul，喜歡亂入，愛管閒事的人。對環保、非主流議題有興趣。
但是為了討生活，現在對有錢大家賺的議題也非常感興趣。
因為對網路通訊有興趣，而被拐騙進一間網通廠。現在期待用網通產品創造出更不一樣的生活。

I'm a freelance Linux administrator and programmer. Linux migrations, server
administration and development of rich web applications or software for
embedded devices are part of my daily business. I'm also an active member of
the Berlin Freifunk community which built one of the biggest wireless mesh
networks today. Currently I'm the main developer of B.A.T.M.A.N.
(www.open-mesh.net) a mesh routing protocol that is designed by the whole
community and reflects the knowledge and experience we gained while building
the Freifunk infrastructure.

電腦上的缺字問題一直是漢字世界永遠的痛，此問題的根本原因乃是一字一碼，漢字是一開放集合，不分析出其根本元素，而直接對字做人為選定編碼，導致缺字問題永遠無法解決、漢字應用對系統負擔很重、漢字被固化停止發展。

(0) Why do we need Unicode Console?
對我而言, 完整的unicode化, 就是讓使用者所可能接觸到介面, 都是unicode.
在沒有XWindows的環境時, console是最常用的系統操作介面.
尤其在Install & Rescue時, console非常有用.
而在console輸入中文真的非常麻煩, 常常需要透過其他媒介才行.
在這樣的念頭之下, 我便開始一步一步建立了這個專案.

As API-based web services seems to be the way to go, API-based web app development is still in it's early age. Asynapse comes in the way tring to provide a bridge between servers and clients, specifially, javascript. It'll extend the ability of javascript language to be more easily interactive with server.

在台灣，開發一個新的作業系統並非不切實際的工作，相反地，在銜接 Free / Open Source software 運動巨變的同時，其中很重要的理念就是最佳化、通用性，與客製化。Nanokernel/Hybrid-kernel 的提出，就是針對應用需求，如行動裝置的進階能源管理機制等需大量軟硬體協同開發的技術項目，提供一種新途徑。

眾多 Realtime Linux 系統的提出，證明可在符合特定需求的 Hard Realtime OS 上面運作修改過的 Linux Kernel，以兼具即時任務需求與既有 Linux 應用程式相容性。在資訊產業有句金言：「沒有完美的技術，只有合用的技術」，本議題以日漸成熟的 nanokernel / para-virtualization 等技術為基礎，提出輕量級且易於擴充的新設計，讓 Embedded Linux 發揮更大的威力。

Rails 在 1.0 and 1.1 風起雲湧三年之後，最近終於推出了 Rails 1.2 的測試版。Rails 1.2裡面一再環繞著一個嶄新的網頁設計概念「REST」。REST 就是一種分散式系統的軟體架構風格，我們可以將整個 Web 視為一個巨大的資料庫，而 REST 就是可以方便取用這個資料庫的鑰匙。Rails 1.2 是目前市面上第一個將 REST 的概念完整的整合進來的網頁開發框架，相信有了 Rails 良好的基礎加上 REST 的引爆點， Ruby on Rails 又即將把競爭對手甩在身後，獨步全球。作者會提到一些 REST 的基礎概念，並且會參雜以一些實做輔助了解。
