Software Freedom Day celebrates 10th year in Christchurch

Software Freedom Day celebrates 10th year in Christchurch

Ever wanted to set up your own Facebook, build a personal digital video recorder or make a video DVD? These are a few of the topics to be covered at the 10th annual Software Freedom Day on the 21st of September.

Software Freedom Days have traditionally been about giving away CDs and installing software. "We'll still be doing that, but we will also be giving demonstrations of free software for business, education and community organisations" one of the organisers, Don Robertson, said.

"Over the last ten years, free software - all software - has become much more stable and easier to use. Well, less hard, but even my mother was able to go from OS X to GNU/Linux without any problems. So we want to focus on showing how much high quality free software is available, and on some wider issues - getting technology to poorer communities, privacy and data security, patents and creative freedom, open formats ... and dispelling some myths. Free software is not copy-right violation or stealing, you don't need to join the communist party to use it. The Greens, Labour and Act's web sites all run on Free Software. National also uses Free Software components. Things like that."

While much of the software can be installed and distributed at no cost, that's not the most important meaning of the word 'free'. "Free means you are able to use the software any way you want, to change it if you want, and to share it with anyone. It means you can use it to build other software. It means free as in Liberty".

Modern software is often built up with parts - like putting Lego blocks together. "If you have to make licensing deals for every block ... that stifles innovation, it stops people putting things together in new ways".

Free Open Source Software (FOSS) is often called Free Libre Open Source Software, or FLOSS, to emphasise this distinction. "I tried to use Libre Open Source Software, but it didn't really work" says Robertson.

The Free Software movement is bound up with the Open Standards, Open Data and Open content movements. "We're seeing a growth in all these areas", says Robertson. "Some companies are notorious for using formats no one else can use. Once you use their software, you can't switch to anything else". Some companies even make new versions of their software incompatible with old versions, forcing upgrades.

Academic publishing has also come under pressure to be more open. "The public fund a lot of research, but often cannot afford to read the results. The academic journals hold the copy-right". The UK and USA are legislating to require that government funded research is published with Open Access. "Open Source Software - such as the Public Knowledge Project's software - makes this easy to do".

Largely due to the diligence and hard work of Rik Tindall, the events co-ordinator, this is Christchurch's tenth Software Freedom Day. "We will be the first of over 270 Free Software Day events around the world" says Don Robertson, "and Christchurch will be the only centre in New Zealand that has celebrated all Software Freedom Days"

C24 Technologies Introduces Free ISO 20022 Repository Data Modelling and Management Tools

DUBAI, UAE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Sibos: C24 Technologies, a leader in financial services messaging and integration solutions, today announced the latest release of C24 Integration Objects Open Edition, a free, software data management tool for integrating financial standards, data formats and now the ISO 20022 Repository.

Available for immediate download at http://www.c24.biz/downloads, this new version provides data management teams and data architects graphical tools to create ISO 20022:2013-based common models and ISO 20022:2013-compliant schemas for their enterprise information architecture. The entire ISO 20022 Repository can be browsed, searched, and extended into internal reference data models. C24 Technologies is the first software vendor to provide a complete set of data management tools for simplifying ISO 20022 data integration.

Financial services firms spend significant time and money each year on data management, specifically normalizing data across diverse databases, packaged applications, financial networks, and partner and legacy systems. To improve this process as well as the quality of business information, enterprise data architects are embracing the ISO 20022 universal financial industry message scheme for B2B data exchange as it provides a single data standardization approach using a well-defined methodology, process and repository.

Now that the ISO 20022 meta-model is available publicly as part of the ISO 20022:2013 edition, vendors serving the financial services community can embrace the opportunity to integrate the model into their products and tools, said Karla McKenna, Chair, ISO Technical Committee 68 Financial Services. Going forward, we can expect that organizations would start using ISO 20022 as a basis for their business processes and transactions.

C24 Integration Objects (C24-iO) Open Edition is a free, standards-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and run-time that extends Java integration frameworks with data modelling, metadata management, message transformation and semantic validation for any data format including XML, CSV, Excel, Cobol and financial standards. As a model-driven, code-generating toolkit, C24-iO increases the productivity of the development team and eliminates inflexible and costly custom coding.

We are pleased to offer to the data management community a free version of C24 Integration Objects with the ISO 20022 Repository, said Wayne Meikle, Commercial Director, C24 Technologies. Firms will achieve significant operational efficiencies by standardising on ISO 20022-based business models using graphical, model-driven tools. Additionally, our service level guarantee of timely software updates simplifies deployment and management of future ISO 20022 business model changes.

Slick, free Apple iOS upgrade may dent new sales

CUPERTINO, Calif. One of the best things about Apples latest iPhones is the slick new iOS 7 software that runs the devices. But that souped-up operating system could end up hurting sales because the free software upgrade will also work on iPhones released since 2010, giving owners of the older models less incentive to buy Apples newest products.

Perhaps unwittingly, even Apples software boss Craig Federighi alluded to this potential problem while he was bragging about iOS 7 at the companys unveiling of its new phones last Tuesday. He predicted that anyone who elects to install the software will feel like theyre getting an all-new device.

I understood what Federighi meant after I was able to see the iOS 7s improvements in action on Apples two new iPhones, the 5C and the 5S. Although Apple announced iOS 7 three months ago, Tuesday marked the first time the company allowed reporters to experience the software hands-on.

Although the iPhone 5C is less expensive than its predecessor, the iPhone 5, iOS 7 almost made it look fancier than previous generations. As an iPhone 5 owner, I was feeling a bit envious until I remembered that Ill be able to spiff up my device, too, when the software is released Wednesday. The operating system will work on the iPhone 4 and later models, iPad 2s and subsequent versions, and the iPod Touch that came out late last year.

iOS 7 looks much different than previous versions of the operating system because it no longer displays iPhone apps as three-dimensional, embossed objects meant to mirror their real-world counterparts. The icons instead are flatter and more colorful.

Any significant change in design typically upsets users familiar with the old way of doing things, but I suspect the complaints about iOS 7 will be muted unless there are some terrible bugs in the software that werent evident during the brief time that I was given to experiment.

I am fairly certain most people who download iOS 7 are going to be pleased. The software makes it easier to navigate around an iPhone and adds some compelling new features.

The additions include the ability to stream music through an ad-supported service called iTunes Radio and five free apps that used to cost anywhere from 99 cents to $4.99 apiece. The free apps are Apples photo-editing tool, iPhoto, and video-editing program, iMovie, as well as work-oriented apps called Pages, Numbers and Keynote.

The software upgrade also will make it easier to take better pictures on the iPhone and automatically sort photos into different categories to denote particular events. I particularly liked a feature that lets you control how the camera operates by toggling between options at the bottom of the screen with the swipe of a finger. After the camera is open, the choices include taking a square, panoramic or standard photo. The bottom-of-the screen controls also include an option to switch to video.

When taking a picture in iOS 7, photographers can also choose a filter to use as they snap the photo rather than waiting to touch up the shot later. When shooting video, shots can be zoomed in while recording.
