This is a discussion on project ideas and implementation and the current challenges in the area of Embedded Linux. The talk will mainly cover Linux for media and thin clients. Rowell is a consultant of Embedded Linux at Eazix Inc. He developed software such as application programs, device drivers, and kernel porting for embedded Linux systems. He is an assistant professor with the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of the Philippines Diliman. He is also a former systems administrator of Solaris and Linux servers at Australian National University. * Remote Deployment of Windows Clients using Linux-based Remote Installation Services, by Peter Santiago. Typical RIS installation for Windows often require a lot of extras that are not really neccessary. If one just want to deploy Windows workstations remotely, you would often need to install a least two Windows servers. One to serve as domain controller and the other as an RIS. Furthermore, the RIS server should be joined to a domain. The presentation aims to show that it is not necessary to use Windows Server to provide RIS services, that opensource software can do the job with minimal overhead and maximum flexibility Peter Santiago is affiliated with the antivirus and PC security firm Trend Micro Inc. for the last four years, as part of the European Technical Support group. He took up BS IT in AMA Computer University in Makati and claims to having learned Linux the hard way. He currently runs his own mail server at home. * The Halalan Open Source Voting System, by Diwa del Mundo. Halalan is an Open Source web-and-mobile-based voting system designed for student elections. It features an easy-to-use interface, customizable election parameters management, and secure and scalable backend design. The system is written in PHP with HypWorks framework and PostgresSQL as database. It is currently being developed and maintained by the UP Linux Users Group (UnPLUG), a student organization in the University of the Philippines in Diliman. Diwa del Mundo is a returning BS CS student from the University of the Philippines in Diliman. He left school last 2005 to experience the life of an employee by working as a software developer for Pusit.com or also known as Friendster Philippines. He worked for various Friendster services and products such as Friendster Classifieds, Flowers and Fads. * Migrating to Postgresql, by Charlton Lopez. Learn some of the ins and outs of migrating into PostgreSQL, such as migrating users and roles into PostgreSQL, migrating schemas and objects into PostgreSQL, what to watch out for during application integrity, testing, migrating your backup and recovery schemes and other routine database maintenance tasks into PostgreSQL, and database object size monitoring. Charlton Lopez, OCP DBA, RHCE, Novell CLP is a consultant specializing in database administration. He primarily works with Oracle technologies like Real Application Clusters for high availability and load balancing, Recovery Manager for backup and recovery, Data Guard for high availability and data protection, among other disaster recovery solutions. In his spare time, he does research on database administration best practices and how these could adapted for the open source databases PostgreSQL and MySQL. He eventually contributes these knowledge to PLUG. Certificates of attendance shall be made available to interested people upon request at the price of P75 per topic. Certificates of attendance for last quarter's seminar shall be distributed during this occasion. For information and widest dissemination.
