![[Announcement]](../images/64x64/announce.gif) | Feliz Año Nuevo a todos!!! Creo que en este nuevo año tenemos una gran oportunidad para mejorar.
:-) | |
| Tenemos
un nuevo traductor ruso. Alexander
("azlk" en el foro) hizo un importante trabajo para nuestro sitio en
idoma ruso, y ademas trabaja en la traduccion de Syllable en si. | |
| El sitio holandes Software
Freedom Day
corre ahora bajo Syllable Server, usando el servidor Cheyenne.
Esto resulto un una mayor capacidad de almacenamiento para contenido
multimedia, virtual hosting bajo su propio nombre de dominio y la
posibilidad de elegir que tecnologias usar. El sitio web fue
desarrollado con el sistema de contenidos que Kaj de Vos desarrolla
para los sitios de Syllable.Org. | |
| Bas tiene la nueva Dutch
Linux Magazine
desde esta mañana, que arraso en las tiendas. La edicion de Noviembre,
numero 5 del año, tiene un articulo de 4 paginas dedicado a Syllable,
incluyendo una entrevista con Kristian Van der Vliet. | |
| Bas anuncia
que organizara la primera edicion invernal de Syllable
Conference. Tiene su web aqui,
donde Bas publicara el desarrollo de los eventos. | |
| Dmitry ("Rohan" on the forum) ha solicitado un
sitio web en idioma ruso. Dmitry lo traducira sobre el tiempo. | |
| Kaj estara presentando el nuevo Syllable Server
0.3 en el Software
Freedom Day event, el proximo 20 de Septiembtre, en la ciudad
de Utrecht, paises bajos. Ademas, estara presente en el Holland Open
Software Conference
en Amsterdam, los dos dias anteriores. Aun cuando no habra una
presentacion de Syllable, si quiere hablar con Kaj puede enontrarlo,
tal vez tambien pueda encontrar a Bas en el Software Freedom Day en
HOSC.
| |
| Gracias al hecho de que Syllable server es
GNU/Linux, y de haber abandonado la lista de espera, Syllable esta
ahora en
DistroWatch,
el mayor observatorio del mundo Linux / BSD / Solaris.
| |
![[Syllable]](../images/64x64/Syllable-emblem-63x64.gif) | Hemos
publicado la tercera edicion de Syllable Server, conocida como Server
0.3. Esta es una importante edicion, dado que nos hemos enfocado en
hacer a este sistema usable como servidor. Un numero de servidores
comunes fueron agregados y configurados, asi como tambien unas pilas de
software REBOL. Contra lo imaginable, Syllable Server esta listo para
cosas como Cheyenne,
FTP y
varios mas. Se presto especial atencion a la programabilidad soportando
aplicaciones Model-View-Controller desarrolladas en QuarterMaster
y aplicaciones de red con el servicio REBOL. Se
incluyo el sistema Genode.
Puede averiguar todos los detalles en el changelog. Un manual
extensivo fue escrito, el cual es facil de seguir. Como es usual, tanto
una descarga BitTorrent
como una regular
estan disponibles (80 MB 7-Zip). Por favor use el torrent si puede.
| |
|
| Ademas
de organizar eventos Syllable, Bas es muy activo en circulos de
software open source, estandares abiertos y contenidos abiertos. Bas es
una persona abierta no? Ademas, el organiza el Software Freedom Day en
los Paises Bajos. Su evento tendra lugar el dia 13 de Septiembre.
Cerca de veinte organizaciones de software libre presentaran sus
proyectos, entre los que Bas demostrara Syllable Desktop y presentara
la proxima version de Syllable Server. | |
| Bas de Lange estara representando a Syllable en
la conferencia T-DOSE
en el Reino de los Paises Bajos, en el evento libre de software Open
Source, "El lugar donde los expertos se reunen". En el fin de semana
del 25 and 26 de Octubre, en la ciudad de Eindhoven,
en la universidad Fontys de ciencia aplicada, habra mas de veinte
oradores y varios proyectos open source, que echaran luz sobre su
desarrollo. Bas presentara a Syllable en una charla. | |
| En
estos momentos se desata una oleada de sitios locales. Michael Utz y
Matic Gradiser se ofrecieron para mantener las versiones en Aleman y
Esloveno. Michael y Matic completaran y mantendran las traducciones en
el tiempo, ademas desean crear sus propios sitios web.
| |
| Movimos
el foro a un nuevo host. Si usted lo agrego a sus bookmaks, por favor
actualizelo. Toda la informacion fue migrada, asi que puede usarlo
igual que siempre.
| |
| Kristian
investigo un bug que impedia a Syllable iniciar desde un dispositivo
USB. Publicamos un nuevo Development Build que podra iniciar desde un
reproductor de CD con puerto USB. Esto significa que Syllable se puede
instalar en computadoras sin puerto IDE, como ser Asus EEPC y otras
minilaptops. Ademas, con otras configuraciones extra en el arrancador,
sera posible instalar Syllable en una memoria USB. En nuestra ultima
SylCon, averiguamos que el "disco" del EEPC esta conectado internamente
mediante USB. Ahora debera ser posible instalar Syllable en una tarjeta
de memoria y ejecutarla en el EEPC, evitando tocar el sistema operativo
original si se lo quiere conservar.
Update: aparecieron
nuevos errores y deberan ser depurados antes de que esto se siga
desarrollando. | |

![[Applications]](../images/64x64/applications.gif) | ![[ImageViewer]](http://web.syllable.org/images/screenshots/Desktop/0.6.5/ImageViewer-200x150.jpg) Jonas
Jarvoll publico su nueva aplicacion Image Viewer.Es mas poderoso que su
antecesor AView incluido en Syllable hasta la fecha. Esta
disponible en nuestra pagina de software. | |
| ![[Webster]](http://web.syllable.org/images/screenshots/Desktop/0.6.6/Webster-tabs-windows-200x150.png) Mas destruccion
creativa...
Fue
alcanzado un objetivo muy buscado. Siempre hemos planeado colocar el
web rendering engine de Abrowse dentro de una libreria con un widget
Syllable View nativo encima, de forma que puede ser usado en otras
aplicaciones. Kristian hizo eso: compilando en el WebCore port de Arno
Klenke, lo actualizo y agrego la clase WebView. Reescribio luego el
navegador y lo rebautizo Webster. La primera version alpha esta
disponible en la lista de aplicaciones. Para ejecutarlo se necesita al
menos el ultimo Development Build de Syllable 0.6.6. Se solucionaron
muchos bugs y el codigo fuente esta en nuestra pagina para
desarrolladores.

| We slept through a storm on the ship. We docked
alongside a clipper a bit too hastily; another clipper, the
Hollandia, crashed into us. Nothing new, shippers from Holland have
always sucked. We saw a Black-headed Gull die; we saw a Great Crested
Grebe feed a fish to her young. Nothing else is important, is it? Oh,
there's another cycle of destruction and creation. We demonstrated a
new development build of Syllable
Server that we created just before the conference.
While we were sailing in Friesland, Kristian produced a new development
build of Syllable
Desktop in England. Both are now published here. | |
|
| Unfortunately,
we had to replace our Spanish web site. We extended our content
management system to create a fully integrated new one, so it is now an
official branch of our main web site. Lucas Murad created the old site
and will be editing the new one.
We took the opportunity to
also
overhaul our Dutch site and pull it into the content management system.
Bas de Lange is the editor. The sites currently still show the original
English content. The editors will be translating it over time. | |
| As
last time, we have been invited again to the BeGeistert BeOS meeting,
the 019 edition. It will be held from 10 to 12 October in the same
venue in Düsseldorf
in
Germany. Bas will be there to represent Syllable again. | |
| The
Syllable Conference 2008 will start in a week. We will be holding
presentations and workshops around the upcoming Syllable Desktop 0.6.6
and Syllable Server 0.3. There will be a workshop showing how to set up
a complete network with Server and Desktop machines and how, if you
know one, you know the other. We will also try to install Syllable on
an Asus EeePC. | |
| We released a development build of Syllable
Server.
This version has a number of updated components, including the kernel,
and several fixes. Most importantly, a lot of server functionality was
added. Included is a REBOL software stack with a web server and a web
programming framework. Support and start scripts are integrated for a
number of standard
servers, such as CUPS, OpenSSH, BIND, Apache, RSync, SaMBa and VSFTP.
However, the configurations of these new modules are not complete yet. | |
|
![[Ports]](../images/48x48/port.gif) | ![[VLC]](http://web.syllable.org/images/screenshots/Desktop/0.6.5/VLC-on-Syllable-0.6.5-200x150.jpg) Ruwen Boehm porto los
reproductores VLC
y MPlayer
para Syllable Desktop. El funcionamiento de cada uno aun es algo
erratico, pero ahora se puede ver un DVD en Syllable. Algunas de las
piezas fueron portadas por Rui Caridade, Andrew Kennan y Kaj de Vos.
Fueron
portados: FAAD2, FLAC, FontConfig, LibA52,
LibCDDB, LibDVDNav, LibDVDRead, LibID3Tag, LibMAD y LibMPEG2. Estos
paquetes no necesitan instalacion separada, dado que las librerias
vienen incluidas en VLC y Mplayer. Estos paquetes estan disponibles
en resources
downloads. Tienen que ser iniciados desde la linea de
comandos, hasta que alguien desarrolle una interfaz nativa para
Syllable. | |
| ![[EeePC]](http://web.syllable.org/images/screenshots/Desktop/0.6.5/SyllableDesktop-0.6.5-on-EeePC-200x150.jpg) Michael
Saunders hizo funcionar Syllable
Desktop en su nueva Asus Eee PC - una minilaptop en la que Syllable
encaja como un guante. Hay que trabajar un poco para hacer funcionar el
total del hardware, pero lo basico funciona. Michael reporta que Audio,
Video, Touchpad, USB y Bateria funcionan. No obstante, el video no
llega a pantalla completa, no funciona el adaptador de red y los
dispositivos de almacenamiento USB no funcionan del todo bien. Como aun
no hay un instalador USB para Syllable, Michael siguio este plan: tomo
una imagen del disco Eee con la herramienta DD de Linux, instalando
Syllable en el desde QEmu y despues "DDeo" la imagen al EeePC. Despues
se tiene que ajustar el disco en GRUB. Investigamos distribuir Syllable
especialmente para el EeePC en esta forma.
| |
|
| Rohan informa que un
colaborador no identificado, que se hace conocer como Bean, habria
reescrito el driver AFS
filesystem para GrUB 2
El
driver original servia para Grub 1, y fue derivado desde el driver AFS
original. Esto significo que el copyright no se pudiera reasignar a la
FSF, asi que el proyecto GRUB no quiso integrar el codigo. El nuevo
driver es mucho mas compacto y todo indica que seria integrado en GRUB,
de forma que tendremos un nuevo arrancador y su mantenimiento sera mas
sencillo. Antes de que esto se concrete, tenemos mas trabajo de
portacion en grub 2 para integrarlo en nuestra compilacion e instalador.
Este
es un test
CD que puede arrancar una instalacion Syllable en disco. | |
| ![[Squeak with Seaside]](http://web.syllable.org/images/screenshots/Desktop/0.6.5/Squeak-with-Seaside-200x150.png) Kelly Wilson porto Squeak para
Syllable.
Squeak es un entorno multimedia basado en el lenguaje Smalltalk.
Aun no hay drivers de audio o video que hagan de interfaz entre Squeak
y Syllable, asi que Squeak aun no es operativo. No obstante, programas
headless que no necesitan un usuario grafico, funcionan, la pantalla
muestra un sitio web en Abrowse, generado por el framework de Seaside. | |
| Here
is a photo of the Syllable stand at FOSDEM last week, by
Jesús
Corrius. | |
| Michael Pavone has created a new programming
language: Rhope.
It's a very interesting language that is based on dataflow and also
uses transactional concepts to make parallel programming easy. Rhope is
an interpreter that is available for Syllable, OS X and Windows. Mike
mentions that it was for a large part developed on Syllable and that
its web site runs on Syllable Desktop, on a web server and web
framework programmed in Rhope itself. Rhope currently has preliminary
support for programming graphical user interfaces on Syllable and
Windows. | |
| There's a new Syllable website in Dutch. It is
maintained by Bas de Lange and hosted by the region
Utrecht/Amersfoort of the Hobby Computer Club. The link is
available here in the community panel on the left. | |
| ![[Syllable on Syllable]](http://web.syllable.org/images/screenshots/Desktop/0.6.6/Syllable-on-Syllable-200x160.jpg) QEmu
has been eluding its port to Syllable Desktop, but the Syllable team
has gotten this emulator to work now. The port is based on earlier work
on QEmu itself and on a number of improvements that are being made to
Syllable Desktop. The coming Syllable development builds will have
improved support for POSIX threads, timers and async I/O.
The newest QEmu version 0.9.1 runs now. There is already a
binary package of QEmu 0.9.1 for Syllable Server in our downloads
section.![[Ubuntu on Syllable]](http://web.syllable.org/images/screenshots/Desktop/0.6.6/Ubuntu-running-on-Desktop-0.6.6-200x160.png)
Other
recent ports to Syllable Desktop include
LibPurple and Finch, the text mode client of Pidgin (the former GAIM
instant messaging application) and the latest version of SaMBa, 3.0.28. | |
| We published a new Premium CD for Syllable
Desktop 0.6.5. As always, it's available from the Syllable shop.
The complete program source code didn't fit on it any more, so we
created a separate CD for that. It holds the source code for Syllable
Desktop, Syllable Server and extra packages. Both CDs are also
available as a download from now on, so you can choose to
receive them sooner and save the shipping costs by burning
your own CD. | |
|
| BeGeistert 018 is in progress, where we were
graciously invited. You can see it live on this
webcam. Bas is representing Syllable there and just gave a
spontaneous presentation. | |
| After
an extensive development period, we released Syllable Desktop 0.6.5
with goodies all over. Of course there are bug fixes, most notably in
USB and the network stack, leading to large reliability and performance
improvements. LibUSB and SANE were ported, so there is now USB access
from user space and support for scanners. There are new network and
video drivers, including a unique S3 DeltaChrome driver that Arno wrote
from scratch. Two new window decorators debut from John Aspras. CD
burning ability is now integrated in the form of SimpleBurn and
CDRTools. A new network preferences applet from Andrew Kennan was
integrated, and also Arno's port of OpenBeFS. Many ports were upgraded
and the system layout has been heavily reorganised. Files needed for
compiling software have been split off in a separate package.
This
is also the release that harmonises a number of things between Syllable
Desktop and Syllable Server.
The full change
log is
here. Installation CDs, the upgrade, and images for
emulators are
here. Additional software can be
found here.
| |
|
| The
link to our Official Releases in the navigation panel on the left here
has been replaced by a new download page of our own. After going
through several download web sites in the past years, this one is meant
to stay. It is fully integrated into the new content management system
for the sites. We will extend it over time to add categories,
main
sections for Syllable Desktop and Syllable Server, and eventually,
software contributed by individual developers.
The
current page
offers some new packages that were created or ported recently. They are
mainly libraries, of interest to software developers. | |
| The
second release of Syllable
Server is now available. A number of fixes were made, most notably to
terminal initialisation and printing. GhostScript is included now. Some
of the Syllable-specific initialisation scripts are executed now.
Many
packages were updated, including GLibC, CoreUtils, BASh, ORCA and the
printing packages.
Several
new packages were added. IPTables is included, so Syllable Server can
be used to build a firewall. The wireless tools are included for
configuring wireless networks. The ALSA userspace library and tools
were added to provide full access to the audio system, instead of
relying on OSS emulation.
All separate binary
software packages
for Server 0.1 are still valid on Server 0.2. On Syllable, binary
compatibility is maintained as much as possible.

| Bas
will be manning a booth to present Syllable at the Show that
you
Share! conference in the city of Utrecht in the Netherlands on Friday,
December 14 [flyer
(PDF)]. The conference is about networks, communities and learning,
with a focus on educational purposes. We will highlight the opportunity
that Syllable offers to learn about system technology without the huge
overhead that other systems bring with them (for example in code size)
and the low barrier to entry for contributing to Syllable. | |
| Bas
is going to represent Syllable again on the FOSDEM 2008 conference in
Brussels in the weekend of February 23 and 24. We will have a table to
present Syllable. Please come, as it's a great gathering of free
software enthusiasts, and if you want to help, please contact us. | |
| Lukas Veselovsky has opened a web site for
Syllable in Slovak. Good luck, Lukas! | |
| Ruud has published the second issue in the new
series of our Syllable Development Newsletter. It contains thirteen
pages of articles, interviews and the second instalment of Kristian's
programming tutorial. The newsletter is accompanied again by a software
pack, rounding up seven packages that were released since the first
edition. | |
| Another
development build of Syllable Desktop is ready. From now on, the
development builds will be available from their own page on the new
development site. A link is on the panel on the left. The caveats are
the same as for the previous build. | |
| This web site has been split into subsites
oriented towards different audiences. A new site was created for
software developers. It can be reached through the new
"Subprojects/Navigation" panel on the left and contains all the content
that is specific to software development on Syllable. The API
references and driver tutorials are now on-line again. | |
| A Danish tribe is emerging from the Syllable
hordes of the north. Flemming is leading his people and his turtle to a
new Danish
site he has split off from Syllable Norden. | |
| To enable you to try Syllable Server without
installation, two preconfigured virtual
machine images are now available. One is for VMware [torrent
(preferred), image
(82 MB)]. It can also be used with QEmu and VirtualBox. The
other is
for other emulators such as Bochs, or also QEmu [torrent
(preferred), image
(81 MB)]. Please note that the latter unpacks to a file of one
gigabyte. The start menu of the images provides configurations for
several emulators. More detailed instructions are
here. Please use the torrents if you can. | |
| It's the melancholical season in Scandinavia,
so in an attack of nostalgia, Flemming installed the last version of
AtheOS in an emulator image - exactly six years after its release. For
a walk down memory lane, or to peer at Syllable's roots, have a look at
this
screenshot of AtheOS running on Syllable. To try it
yourself, we provide a VMware image that can also be used with QEmu and
VirtualBox [torrent, image
(11 MB)],
and a raw image that can be used with Bochs and QEmu [torrent, image
(11 MB)]. Please use the torrents
if you can.
For unpacking the files, you need 7-Zip [portable version,
Windows version]. | |
| We
are resuming the regular development builds of Syllable Desktop. The
new build contains important stability fixes for USB, and
enhancements to make the porting of software easier. There are fixes
for making it easier to find the SDL extension libraries during the
compilation of software. Configuration of packages that need PkgConfig
during compilation is now supported. If you are building this software
in a staging area, you also need to update Builder, which now also has
support for PkgConfig.
The FFMPEG codec and cURL are
missing
from this build due to temporary build failures. If you need them, you
can copy them in from the previous development build or from Syllable
0.6.4.

| La
primera version de desarrollo de Syllable Server esta disponible! Esta
provee un entorno de texto, pero ademas tiene un sistema grafico
preliminar construido en el sistema framebuffer, con DirectFB y SDL sobre este.
El entorno grafico de Syllable Desktop, que se quiere portar
a Server con todas sus ventajas, aun no esta disponible. El
procedimiento de instalacion es sencillo, pero aun manual, haciendo
recordar a la instalacion del antiguo sistema AtheOS, la base de Syllable Desktop. Syllable
Server incluye un navegador grafico, un gestor de archivos y un editor.
Una de las cosas que se tuvo en mente al diseñar Syllable Server es
poder funcionar como una plataforma de visualizacioon de bajo peso para
poder correr varios sistemas, o varias instancias de si mismo. El
virtualizador QEmu esta incluido, y el acelerador KQEmu esta integrado
en el sistema. [Pantalla de Syllable Server running on Syllable Desktop, instrucciones installation y uso , torrent

| After
a long time, we have updated the Premium CD that is available from our
Lulu shop. At the time, after we released Syllable 0.6.0a, we cleaned
up old library versions from the system, to bring down the size of the
distribution. This meant dropping support for old binary programs, so
after that, our software collection was rather limited and not
sufficient to build a premium CD that would contain significantly more
than the basic installation CD. Since then, we have done a lot of work
on our package collection, and now we have finally made time to create
a Premium CD for Syllable 0.6.4. It is filled to the brim and contains
all our official packages and accompanying source code. | |
| Our new and already prolific contributor Kelly
Wilson has ported MLGame,
a game programming framework for the OCaml
language that makes use of Syllable's SDL
subsystem. Kelly has also updated our OCaml port to the latest version,
3.10, which now has support for PThreads on Syllable for the first time. | |
| Resuming our regular news coverage, we are
pleased to announce that our contributor Rohan has opened a new
Syllable web site in
Russian. It will be available from here in our redesigned
links section, on the left. | |
| Mail addresses of the Syllable members at
syllable.org are now operational again. | |
| After
having moved our domain name registrations to a new provider, we are
now reconfiguring them for the new hosting situation. An effect of this
will be that our site names www.syllable.org and syllable.org will not
resolve for the coming one or two days. Don't worry, we'll be back. |
|
|
| If
you've had a blast from the past lately, it may be because we're
piecing this website back together again from anything we can find.
Although our provider is one stiff
parrot,
we are making this into an opportunity to replace our troubled systems
of the past with the improvements we had long been planning. We would
like to thank those who have offered us hosting help. However, our
plans have already been set in motion. The website you are reading now
is replicated over the world on a distributed system. It should be well
prepared for the extra visitors we are expecting when we release
Syllable Server. The content management system is our own, which we are
writing in REBOL as we speak.
