Re: Unnecessary overhead when running Apache FOP via command line

Hello readers,

I have been testing the Apache FOP for a while on our Ubuntu 9.10 box.


[..]


I am not very familiar with java technology, so I suppose that loading
all java libraries and the runtime takes some time causing the
overhead. Do you know any solution how I could speed up the execution
of FOP? Maybe loading and keeping some necessary libraries and
runtimes in memory?


You didn't mention which Java version you are using.
If you aren't using Java 6 from SUN already then give it a try, it might 
help a bit (but not as much as the Servelt/WebService approach))

ApacheCon Europe 2009 - Leading the Wave of Open Source
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
23rd to 27th March, 2009

Call for Papers Opens for ApacheCon Europe 2009

The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) invites submissions to its official 
conference, ApacheCon Europe 2009. To be held 23rd to 27th March, 2009 at the 
Mövenpick Hotel Amsterdam City Centre, ApacheCon serves as a forum for 
showcasing the ASF's latest developments, including its projects, membership, 
and community. ApacheCon offers unparalleled educational opportunities, with 
dedicated presentations, hands-on trainings, and sessions that address core 
technology, development, business/marketing, and licensing issues in Open 
Source.

ApacheCon's wide range of activities are designed to promote the exchange of 
ideas amongst ASF Members, innovators, developers, vendors, and users 
interested in the future of Open Source technology. The conference program 
includes competitively selected presentations, trainings/workshops, and a small 
number of invited speakers. All sessions undergo a peer review process by the 
ApacheCon Conference Planning team. The following information provides 
presentation category descriptions, and information about how to submit your
proposal.

Conference Themes and Topics

APACHECON 2009 - LEADING THE WAVE OF OPEN SOURCE

Building on the success of the last two years, we are excited to return to 
Amsterdam in 2009. We'll be continuing to offer our very popular two-day 
trainings, including certifications of completion for those who fulfill all the 
requirements of these trainings.

The ASF comprises some of the most active and recognized developers in the Open 
Source community. By bringing together the pioneers, developers, and users of 
flagship Open Source technologies, ApacheCon provides an influential platform 
for dialogue, between the speaker and the audience, between project 
contributors and the community at large, traversing a wide range of ideas, 
expertise, and personalities.

ApacheCon welcomes submissions from like-minded delegates across many fields, 
geographic locations, and areas of development. The breadth and 
loosely-structured nature of the Apache community lends itself to conference 
content that is also somewhat loosely-structured. Common themes of interest 
address groundbreaking technologies and emerging trends, successful practices 
(from development to deployment), and lessons learned (tips, tools, and 
tricks). In addition to technical content, ApacheCon invites Business Track 
submissions that address Open Source business, marketing, and legal/licensing 
issues.

Topics appropriate for submission to this conference are manifold, and may 
include but are not restricted to:

- Apache HTTP server topics such as installation, configuration, and migration
- ASF-wide projects such as Lucene, SpamAssassin, Jackrabbit, and Maven
- Scripting languages and dynamic content such as Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, 
XSL, and PHP
- Security and e-commerce
- Performance tuning, load balancing and high availability
- New technologies and broader initiatives such as Web Services and Web 2.0
- ASF-Incubated projects such as Sling, UIMA, and Shindig

[Fwd: Application Period Opens for Travel Assistance to ApacheCon US 2008]

Dear PMCs,

Please could you forward the below message to your user@ and dev@ mailing
lists, thanks in advance.

The Travel Assistance Committee is taking in applications for those wanting
to attend ApacheCon US 2008 between the 3rd and 7th November 2008 in New
Orleans.

The Travel Assistance Committee is looking for people who would like to be
able to attend ApacheCon US 2008 who need some financial support in order to
get there. There are VERY few places available and the criteria is high,
that aside applications are open to all open source developers who feel that
their attendance would benefit themselves, their project(s), the ASF and
open source in general.

Financial assistance is available for flights, accomodation and entrance
fees either in full or in part, depending on circumstances. It is intended
that all our ApacheCon events are covered, so it may be prudent for those in
Europe and or Asia to wait until an event closer to them comes up - you are
all welcome to apply for ApacheCon US of course, but there must be
compelling reasons for you to attend an event further away that your home
location for your application to be considered above those closer to the
event location.

More information can be found on the main Apache website at
http://www.apache.org/travel/index.html - where you will also find a link to
the application form and details for submitting.

Time is very tight for this event, so applications are open now and will end
on the 2nd October 2008 - to give enough time for travel arrangements to be
made.

Good luck to all those that will apply.

Regards,

The Travel Assistance Committee

Re: Source Code for 0.20.4

Hi

Has FOP 0.20.4 sources been taken off from the download site.
I want to download the sources???

Can anyone provide me links where i can download the source code


http://archive.apache.org/dist/xml/fop/source/

It's a bit tricky to find because it was released when FOP was part of
the XML Projekt. I guess we should either move it all over to the
xmlgraphics archive or provide an additional link.

 Hi all,
 I'm running quite complex XML  XSL-FO  PDF transformation generating
 book packages.
 One package consists of:
 - 2 full books (Student Guide, Instructor Guide) of approx 200 pages each
 - separate handouts in 3 booklets (each of 30-40 pages)
 
 All targets are generated from the same XML source.
 Average book contains 80-150 images.

Which image format are you using?
If you aren't using jpegs you might try it this format because those
will be directly embedded in (PDF and PS) documents which is faster than
decoding the images.

This should work, or add /opt/fop to your $PATH

It's wiki so just add the links yourself at
