Subject: Linux-Mandrake to support KOffice project
Date: Sat, 14 Aug 1999 09:22:16 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
MandrakeSoft, the company behind the popular Linux-Mandrake Linux
distribution will finance David Faure, core-developer at KDE to work
for the KOffice and KDE projects.
For Ga�l Duval, co-founder of Mandrakesoft, "Mandrake owes a lot of
its success to KDE and Free Software movement. We are very happy to
help back and contribute to the enhancement of development. We invite
all the companies who profit from Open Source Software to support
KOffice by funding dedicated developers. The more good developers will
be involved in KOffice the faster it will be ready for the users."
According to David Faure "KOffice is an integrated office suite being
developed by the KDE Team and based on the KDE libraries. It currently
includes a enhanced wordprocessor with desktop publishing
functionality , a spreadsheet, a presentation application, a vector
drawing program, a diagram program, a formula editor and an image
viewer. KOffice makes use of the most advanced Object Model in the OSS
world. Thanks to this, it is possible to embed any KOffice component
in a different KOffice application. This is realized using the
KOM/OpenParts object model. Of course the KOffice is, as the whole KDE
project, a free project which is released under the GNU GPL.
David Faure has been a core developer for the KDE project for two
years, maintainer of the KDE file manager (kfm) and its rewrite,
OpenParts-based (konqueror). He has also participated in the
development of the KDE libraries, including KOM/OpenParts, as well as
the development of KOffice itself.
About KDE:
KDE is a collaborative project by hundreds of developers worldwide to
create a sophisticated, customizable and stable desktop environment
employing a network-transparent, intuitive user interface. In
addition, many KDE users assisted in the preparation of new releases
by providing constructive feedback, suggestions and software patches.
KDE is working proof of the power of the open source software
development model.
About MandrakeSoft
Founded in 1998, MandrakeSoft publishes the popular Linux Mandrake
operating system, which is compatible with the leading Red Hat Linux
(tm) distribution. Linux Mandrake 6.0 features the "Mandrake touch"
MandrakeSoft's signature graphical interfaces that give users selected
desktop icons including easy CD-Rom and floppy disk access and easy
Internet upgrades using the "Mandrake Update" icon. Linux Mandrake
also features Pentium optimization, scalable font support and
KDE/Gnome integration. MandrakeSoft is also the originator of several
other innovative Open Source cooperative projects that focus on ease
of use, including Lothar, an automatic hardware configuration,
Linux4Windows, which allows users to install and use Linux on top of a
Windows partition, and the DiskDrake hard-drive partitioning tool.
LinuxMall, the largest online reseller of Linux products, reports that
Linux Mandrake was its bestselling box version in July. LinuxWorld
also selected Linux Mandrake as a finalist in three categories:
Product of the Year, Distribution/Client and Distribution/Server.

Subject: X/RTA Audio Real Time Analyzer for X
Date: Sat, 14 Aug 1999 09:56:20 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
X/RTA Audio Real Time Analyzer for X
X/RTA is a constant percentage bandwidth real time analyzer for acoustical
measurements. It uses digital filters to do octave band and fractional
octave band filtering of the audio spectrum. It does not utilize FFT's.
The signal processing unit is written in C. The interface is written
in Tcl/Tk, with the Blt toolkit. As Tcl is a scripting language, this
makes the creation of sequences of tests straightforward.
X/RTA is currently functional but missing many features. In its
current state, with X/RTA you can perform 1/3 octave analysis and
C-weighted SPL, save and recall data files, and print data (using gs
or ghostview). Thus you can measure and tune a home theatre,
commercial cinema, hi-fi, public address system, etc.
REQUIREMENTS
Linux x86, 2.xx
Pentium 166 or better
sound card capable of sampling at 48 kHz
The program was developed on a Pentium 166 with a SoundBlaster/Ensoniq
PCI 128 running RedHat 5.2 Linux.
The homepage for X/RTA is http://www.nbn.com/~holmes/xrtamain.html.

Dancing Linux -- The Flight
A rendered animated linux logo from my "Dancing Linux" series
The rendered scene shows a nice linux logo moving
in an interesting way. (I don't want to tell too much :)
The animation is fluent and has a black background.
I think, it�s an excellent eyecatcher on any box...
=============================================================
Format: *.fli movie
Resolution: 320*200, 8bit color
250 frames (20 fps) (longest animation so far)
Rendertime: about 1 day on a P133
Renderplatform: Linux-Povray 3.0
=============================================================
I hope, it's not too bright on your monitor. You should correct
gamma in this case. I recommend, viewing the animation fullscreen
with a Starwars MP3 playing in the background!
The Flight belongs to my Dancing Linux series and is available at:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
The movie (1.2 MB):

The povray source:

You will find some other stuff there, too (demo-pics, other
