[Ubuntu-QC] visite au québec

2015-04-30 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux
Bonjour,

Je suis un belge bruxellois utilisateur de Ubuntu et de logiciels libres
que je soutiens autant que je peux.

Je suis professeur d'informatique dans une haute école (= pour des
étudiants de 18 à 21 ans et plus) et forme des programmeurs et
administrateurs systèmes.

Je viens en visite au Québec entre le 1/7 et le 21/7 (Montréal du 1 au 3
juillet puis dates pas encore précises) et visiterai la Gaspésie, les
alentours du Saint Laurent, les baleines ... et les amis utilisateurs de
logiciels libres.

Je vous ferais volontiers une petite conférence si le coeur vous en dit,
sur par exemple l'usage et les réticences au LL en Belgique ou sur un
projet que j'ai avec mes étudiants (et pour lequel nous cherchons des
collaborations) de développement d'un logiciel universel (= pour toutes
les plateformes et OS) de visualisation des images médicales. Presque le
vlc des images médicales.

J'aimerais aussi simplement avoir des idées de lieux à voir absolument à
Montréal, Québec ville et dans le reste du Québec, et savoir si certains
d'entre vous seraient prêts à nous guider. Nous = ma famille et moi =
épouse et 3 enfants (2 à moi et une amie) de 19, 19 et 21 ans,
respectivement Lucie, Aurore et Jason.

Merci

Au plaisir de vous lire,

Nicoals Pettiaux

2012-05-29 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux
2012/5/29 Robert Roth evf...@gmail.com:
 That message is related to the calendar application. As the default mail
 client, Ubuntu has switched over to Thunderbird, however to use the
 calendar with events from the top right corner, you still have to set up
 Evolution for now, transitioning to another calendar application is
 discussed/in progress, see the Blueprint about planning/progress:
 https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-p-calendar-
 integration This has been proposed for the previous release (12.04
 Precise), however as it was an LTS and this was not a trivial change, it
 has been postponed to Quantal (12.10), so we just have to wait and see.

OK I understand.

I'll go in with the translation then ;-)

Thanks

I come to https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/index.html and see
happily that the page is automatically in French, my default browser

I am ready to help ... provided that I am told how to proceed.

Thanks. I'll do.

Another question as I connect : I see that the original message 313 is

If you have already set up Evolution, click the clock on the menu bar
and then click the guiAdd Event/gui to start adding appointments.
As appointments are added, they will appear below the calendar when
you click on the clock.

As far as I know, the new default email in Precise is Thunderbird and
not anymore Evolution. Shouldn't the numerous messages related to
Evolution be changed accordingly ?

Best regards,

[Ubuntu-be] Appel à soutenir la Société civi le contre ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreeme nt)

2010-06-20 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux
 agreement that can promote access to needed
medicines;

-Circumvents and undermines the commitments agreed to under the World
Intellectual Property Organization development agenda, particularly
recommendation 45 committing to “approach intellectual property
enforcement in the context of broader societal interests and
especially development-oriented concerns, and in accordance with
Article 7 of the TRIPS Agreement;

INSTITUTIONAL ISSUES
-Creates a new and redundant international administration for IP
issues outside of WIPO or the WTO with broad powers but limited
transparency, threatening multilateralism in international IP norm
setting;

-Encourages technical assistance, public awareness campaigns, and
partnerships with the private sector that appear designed to promote
only the interests of IP owners;

CONCLUSIONS ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS

The current process for considering public input into ACTA is
fundamentally flawed in numerous respects. In many countries, the only
consultations taking place are with select members of the public,
off-the-record and without benefit of sharing the latest version of
the rapidly changing text. There is little possibility that a fair and
balanced agreement that protects and promotes public interests can
evolve from such a distorted policy making process.

Governments, right holders and civil society should have an open and
evidence-based discussion on the right strategy to confront willful
commercial scale trademark counterfeiting and commercial scale
copyright piracy. This discussion should take place in multilateral
and national open and on-the-record forums with access to current
negotiating text so that all interested stakeholders can participate.

 Doesn't have to be AXA though. Dexia, for example, also supports

Every bank is very concerned when they loose a client, as loosing one

The commercial department is concerned most. So let them know gently

 is the issue here also concerning the
 open sourcing of cartography?

this is a very good question.

THere are at least 2 projects I know related to this question, and
that go in the direction of wikipedia: aka, the users are collecting
the datas with their gps to build collectively the maps

See upct.org and  ... (another one bases on mediawiki that I do not
remember now and cannot find; I'll look for it)

 are companies like tele-atlas
 open source or not?
 i might have a talk
 with those guys
 if it is not.

good luck and thanks.

As they make a good fortune selling their data, I doubt they are ready
to open source anything.

But you may try.

Thanks,

 Hallo,

 er is nog veel werk op het gebied rond GPS+Linux:
 behalve Garmin/Magellan waar al reeds een gpsbabel, gpsman, gpstrans en
 gpsd voor bestaan, ziet het voor de rest sombertjes uit:
 Mio en Tomtom maken *wel* gebruik (bijna misbruik) van Linux om heet
 kostenloos op hun hardware te zetten, maar het programma die zij daaronder
 draaien is alles behalve GPL; bijgevolg wordt het duidelijker waarom zij
 meestal enkel en alleen W$ updates (exe's) bieden maar geen jota over Linux.

 Ik heb het uitgetest, cf. m'n mail naar Mio Technology Belgium:

Do you know http://www.opentom.org : only free software on TomTom

I have been told by a membre of openstreetmap during RMLL that it is
possible and even easy to install further free software on the TomTom

 thank you for taking the time to represent us :)

indeed


   structural solution that could rapidly help the NPOs obtaining an
   appropriate and efficient operational environment. I did not look for
   THE solution, but to A solution, most particularly taking into account
   the speed of deployment of any solution as well as the final
   objective.

this solution is not independent

   The primary short term issue to be addressed was the affordability of
   professional IT software and hardware while preserving continuity of
   existing environments.

this is a very strong demand that does not apply to many oraganization
that had no IT before, and to me that goes well beyond the first
objective.

   Since July 2006, the project has been extended to Non Profit Sector
   (NPOs with a clear social aim).  In this wider context we received the
   support of the King Baudouin Foundation. You will easily understand
   that our mission, scope and priorities have been thoroughly discussed
   with the Foundation. Some of you intend to contact the Foundation -
   feel free to do so if you believe it appropriate.

how does he know ?

We could do it with them before as suggested.

   Vis-à-vis the Open Source products, our position has been that these
   solutions were quite well known and had a wide web coverage already,
   so we choose not devoting our scarce resources, mostly volunteers, to
   address already solved problems and rather concentrated our efforts on
   what was unresolved so far, i.e. getting donated products from vendors
   on behalf of the NGO community.

I do not believe in this.

Microsoft products have a much wider coverage, and advertising today
than free software.

   We hardly saw what added value we might have in distributing Open
   Source products at this stage, but on this point we certainly would
   appreciate your views.

propose choice and tools that do not link the users to proprietary
vendors that look for later ways to keep these users captives.

 This is a key point for us, as we cannot simply
   advertise a product without a significant added value in the process;
   else we would have to publish a list of any available product to treat
   them in an even way.

   We also declined to advertise several product offerings based on open
   source, but with proprietary layers which are bundled with support
   contracts: taken as a whole these offers were far from open because
   they actually made the buyer captive of a single supplier for any
   maintenance and support.

   But in any case, the choice of the solution (Open Source or not,
   Supplier X or Y) rests and should rest with the NPO itself, it is not
   our mission to influence this choice in any way – we only eliminate
   some financial constraints out of such a selection process so that the
   NPO decision can be based on sheer technical, benefits, or strategic
   considerations from their own perspective.

by proposing only one toolset, they do not really give the choice to
the users IMHO

   I hope that this brief update sheds some light on our mission and code
   of conduct.

some.

I just gave some ideas of an answer, and I am really persuaded that we
need to find a proposition to socialware that can align with this
mail.

I would with pleasure help and contribute to this in september

Thanks,

Nicolas

[Ubuntu-be] Fwd: RFS: QtOctave -- A Qt front-end to Octave - help to make it a ubuntu package

2007-06-17 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux
Dear

I have obtained that matlab be replaced by octave, as the tool of
choice (aka programming environnement) for the teaching of numerical
analysis on the 2nd year at the Université libre de Bruxelles
(Brussels, Belgium) in the faculty of applied sciences.

For this to take place in the best conditions, a simple environnement,
looking like the one of matlab would be very helpfull. This is what
qtoctave provides: the users will feel at home.

The computers will be equipped with ubuntu feisty, and in order for
the students to be able to use the same environnement at home without
paying or illegal copying (one strong argument in favor of octave vs
matlab), an easy installation for them is a real plus.

Jordi, whom I thank very much again, has provided a first packaging of
qtoctave.

Could you please have a look and consider what you can to to help it
become a package tat could be included in the ones easily and
officially installable on ubuntu ?

I suppose this may be helpful in other teaching environnements and universities.

Best regards,

Nicolas

(Note to octave-help list subscribers who may be interested: I
attempted to stick to Debian policy after all, which is why I'm
attempting to add this to Debian's repositories. The dotdeb works in
Debian's current testing, and should be easily built for other
distributions. Note that Qt4 is required to build and run the
package.)

Hello, Debian mentors.

This is my first attempt to upload a Debian package and the first
package I've ever built believing to be adhering to Debian policy. I
don't even know what the exact etiqutte for RFSing or where all those
people are getting the RFS template or how exactly I should upload
things.

The Debianised source tarball is found here:

 http://www.cimat.mx/~jordi/debian/qtoctave_0.5.1-1.debian.tar.gz

The dotdeb I built in Lenny (but which *should* build in unstable
unless libqt4-dev is more heavily patched than I think) is found here:

 http://www.cimat.mx/~jordi/debian/qtoctave_0.5.1-1_i386.deb

It is mostly Lintian-clean, save for #428403 and a missing manpage for
widgetserver whose purpose I have not yet discerned.

Cheers,

it is not dead. The point is that I am lacking time to go on today. I
did many things with the person who proposed to host the site, with
the help of fcouchet (APRIL).

To go on we need more help.

 On other time, I would have proposed to contact Nicolas for starting
 again the project but I don't have time before the 15 May and I thing
 it will be a little bit late for this elections...

   Maybe we can adapt/translate the question list for Belgium and send
   them, as the elections are approaching? Any opinions?

I proposed to do so in March but got very few answers !

I started, looking first for a host, and some help. This came. We have
nearly finished to set the copy of candidats.fr on candidats.be

  For fr_be, someone friendly has already registered candidats.fr. As
  far as I know, no further action has been taken yet.

who is ready to come and work on this with us ? (Simon and myself)

  I recently registered the standpunten.be domain name. I will gladly
  offer it for use in a similar campaign.

good idea.

te helpen, en om deze VS te demonstreren en voorstellen.

Kennen jullie enkelen gebruikers of leraren die we zouden kunnen
contacteren om enkele
VS in het Nederlands kunnen demonstreren en meer belangrijk, hun
experience te verdelen ?

2007/3/11, François Cauwe [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

just some more ideas about these good points :

 I think you should send education people with education specific things,
 and not send them to much mails they don't read anymore after a while.

I think it makes very much sense to have a kind of monthly letter that
also contains info such a to get more involved you can register to
this mailing list, but most importantly, that would proactively help
the teachers to do their job with free software. Many, I suppose,
would very much like to know more what to use to do what, have
interesting and successful experiences reported from colleagues ...

We (the community interested inf FS in education) can surely help
them, with info they would appreciate.

thanks for the report. Maybe it could be added to the wiki.

 We had allot of interested visitors at our booth.
 Among them a number of representatives of local computer clubs.
 Also a number of German and Dutch vendors where interested in Ubuntu.
 We spread all our pressed cd's and around 170 burned cd's.

it is sad that the people who receive these CD do not give back
something, that would show at least that they understand that someone
is paying for the CD + time to press + electricity + ...

 Still it was a very productive fair as we had a few people who where
 interested to become an Ubuntu support point.

Good.

[Ubuntu-be] Contribute to the Belgian wiki on open standards

2007-02-01 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux
Belgium has opened a public wiki on
http://www.belgif.be/index.php/Accueil where everyone can contribute
to the formats, hopefully open, that Belgian administrations  could or
would be supposed to use.

This has been opened in order to have as many inputs from as many
interested parties, especially the knoledgeable public and the free
software community that has build so many standards in an open way.

Today, there has not been that many open participation, probably due
to the lack of public awareness of the initiative.

You probably know that there are active discussions, not to say
disputes about formats, and that this has a profound impact on
interoperability, new tools adoption, not to say free softwares.

I therefore wish with this mail to invite you and others to
participate and spread the information, and help us justify this open
way of inviting the public to take part in a process that is usually
reserved to a rather close circle.

Provided you can write in English, French or Dutch, coming from any
country, any culture, you are welcome to participate, but please
register on the mediawiki. Only the participation of many will help us
in Belgium to continue and support this initiative.

Tank you very much to spread this information around .
