I just get my private beta trial for HPcloud to be test. As u all know its base on Openstack but then i plan to try out its CLI method to manage the instances . Documentation about HPcloud CLI can get it here . The issue here is the cli (base on ruby) require ruby 1.9.2 and above but in precise pangolin default ruby is 1.8.7. I already file a bug report on this issues. I hope someone can work out or decide that ruby1.9.x will be default in precise.

Last month i get a call and email from FOMCA representative asking community to support their national program Access to Knowledge- National Campaign on A2K Policies , Campaign to promote Open Source Software to consumers . We (Ubuntu-my) are more than happy to corporate and collaborate with FOMCA to do our best to make the policy & campaign success. I will bring this topic to our 1st Ubuntu-my Meetup for 2012
Overall objective: Increase the uptake of free, legal software for Malaysian consumers
Specific objective: Create awareness among Malaysian suppliers and consumers to encourage the use of open source software which is the Ubuntu Linux instead of FreeDOS to provide a better computing experience and also reduce piracy
Activities:
1. Conduct an awareness seminar/workshop on piracy issue and access to knowledge. In this session, we can introduce the Ubuntu Linux operating system and how vendors and consumers can play a role in fostering the uptake of open source software and thereby reducing piracy.
2. Collaborating with the local community to promote the use of Ubuntu Linux among consumers
3. Promoting this campaign in our existing consumer websites under FOMCA.
Impact expected:
Consumer to have at least an awareness of the existence of free open source software and that they do have an alternative choice and at the same time can help in reducing piracy without having any disadvantage. We aim for this campaign to get the attention of the
industries as well as the government to come up with policies to encourage more open source software and move towards having more awareness session to make consumers understand and aware of their choices.
Here i share the full post by FOMCA and draft brochure for the awareness program.
I also hope that Ubuntu Community Globally & FOSS Community will give us support to make this happen ! \0/ May Ubuntu will r0cking all over Malaysia …

They release the source at github and i try to find any PPA package for it but i get this from pinowudi blog (http://pinowudi.blogspot.com/2011/12/referring-to-x4s-issue-for-linux.html) . So i want to give a try to build the package.
I try to build the package at my PPA with the help from Mahyuddin Susanto . After finish building the package, i do the testing at my workstation:

Working at new company and differ environment make me explore and expose to new experience … with the latest concurrent multiple project running …. banking system application , enterprise portal and ICT consulting …
My biggest challenging and experience is working with the Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) engineers, C&S , Architect is they are working on the same format and file that is CAD . So why i say it biggest challenging is i doesn’t know any software that can work in Ubuntu (maybe lack of OSS application knowledge) but i’ve try to find before .. then i have no choice need to work with the proprietary software such as AutoCAD. Luckily today while i browsing my facebook … i saw an advertising banner about FREE CAD software. I then straight away go to the website and reading the information and its saw support multi platform include linux.
http://www.3ds.com/products/draftsight/free-cad-software/
I straight away download and excited to try in Ubuntu since they already package the installer. After download and try to install , i discover its need some dependencies ,
sudo apt-get install libdirectfb-extra sendmail
sudo dpkg -i DraftSight.deb
Its required an activation so u need to register with your email address and activated it with the given link in your email. Finally ………………….

MYGOSSCON 2011, the Malaysian Government Open Source Software (OSS) Conference returns on 29 – 30 November 2011 targeted for CIOs. As leaders of the IT sector, CIOs play an important role in realizing the value of IT.
MYGOSSCON is held annually since 2007 as part of the Malaysian Public Sector OSS Program. The Open Source Competency Centre (OSCC), MAMPU has successfully completed Phase II – Accelerated Adoption Stage of the Malaysian Public Sector OSS Program. This conference marks the beginning of Phase III – Self-reliance.
This popular event is back to bring you the latest trends and developments to provide CIOs with insights on self-reliance and technological independence in IT developments.
The conference which will be attended by about 400 Chief Information Officers from the Malaysian Public Service Sector will see the enrichment of ideas and experience, latest findings and studies towards improving the Public Service Delivery System. It will also provide opportunities to share new and advance ICT technologies and exhibit the public sector’s ICT initiatives.
MYGOSSCON has reached beyond the Government sector, successfully engaging and benefiting from organisational support of businesses, educational institutions and OSS communities to nurture the OSS ecosystem
I do hope that Ubuntu @ Canonical can participate for this event especially in the Global Adoption & Cloud Computing or other related session/tracks since the event will be held end of November (Not conflict with UDS)
