Im also looking at Liferay packaging status in debian (http://wiki.debian.org/Java/LiferayPackaging) looks like some job need to be completed. My goals for this liferay portal is it can be inside of Ubuntu Repo soon ……

fenrisCAD, Technology, Ubuntu
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)

fenrisPostgreSQL, Ubuntu PostgreSQL, Ubuntu
I need to deploy/implement the system for my client with heartbeat and database replication. So i decided to make a test environment with my lenovo thinkpad and HP workstation as (Master – Standby) before i do it to the live production server environment.
Btw, PostgreSQL in maverick right now does not come with the 9.0.3 packages. So i use Martin Pitt’s PPA , thanks for back porting the package for maverick.
$sudo apt-add-repository ppa:pitti/postgresql
$sudo apt-get update
$sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.0 postgresql-client-9.0 postgresql-contrib-9.0
Thanks to PostgreSQL community because they have build the wiki with a simple / less step to get it done. So U guys just follow this wiki after finish installing postgresql 9.0
Here are the result :

Database has been replicate to standby server

fenrisUbuntu OpenBravo, Ubuntu
I guest almost more than half year that i left my blog world. maybe now i need to start it back since i left my previous work place Open Source Competency Centre from june 2010.
Now im working with B.I.S R&D SDN BHD , a bit introduction about the company im working now :
BIS which is the acronym was incorporated in the year 2005 with the specific aim of developing a full fledged ERP solution for Malaysian Small to Medium sized businesses.
This was due to the fact that that at that point, SMEs did not have access to quality ERP software at a affordable price. All the ERP suites available were for large enterprises and required a large amount of investment in time and money to implement and deploy.
Our first year of operation was spent on Research & Development of our propriety ERP solution which we have named ‘I.ES ERP’. The completed and functional version of the software was successfully completed by end of year 2005. In early 2006 we started to market and sell the software solution and have successfully deployed the solution to many companies in Malaysia.
Since then, BIS has grown from strength to strength and acquired more and more clients and success stories.
Our solution currently more to OSS software and application development , OpenBravo & Ubuntu . As for now we use Ubuntu as our platform for all range from desktop, Point of Sale (touch screen) , server and Cloud EC2. I’ll post the photo of POS that using Ubuntu as Operating System with OpenBravo POS in my next post.
Here are some event with the Ministry of Education Malaysia that we are promoting the Ubuntu for Education:
-
-
Belinda with BIS Staff
-
-
Belinda with MSC Malaysia CEO
-
-
Q & A Session with MOE VIP

-
Belinda with the Minister
I think i stop at this point 1st then i’ll continue in my next journey …..
