Misunderstanding of free in free software

I bought a digital product magazine this afternoon. It is called e-zone. It is issue 464, released on July 05 2007. This magazine is the No.1 computer/digital product magazine in Hong Kong. There is an article talked about GPLv3 in this issue. However, they translate "free software foundation" as "免费软件基金会"(gratis software foundation). This is an unacceptable mistake. Free here means freedom, not gratis. I've already send them an email. I hope they can fix it immediately.

How to use trads.rb to manage translations and generate a Lead Translator's page

http://gentoo.neysx.org/mystuff/trads/doc/trads-doc.xml gotta read this this will help me to generate a beautiful page showing the status of translation. Our current status page is beautiful too, but it is missing some functions, e.g. the diff between the latest translated en doc and the latest en doc. The script in the above mentioned doc could do this. Wonderful! The result could be seen at http://www.gentoo.de/trads/. However, this script only works with gorg. That means gentoo.linuxsir.org is no longer a suitable place to hold the status page (which is known as progress.xml currently)

自动更新handbook翻译进度表的脚本

首先,说明一下我准备把 http://r0bertz.blogspot.com 加入 gentoo planet。 那样意味着以后r0bertz.blogspot.com上所有的文章都将用英文来写,专注于技术相关的话题。 鉴于我们伟大的防火长城间歇性的屏蔽blogspot,建议使用抓虾、google reader等来订阅这个blog。 zhllg.spaces.msn.com就用来写一些非技术话题,用中文写。 给zhlly说声抱歉,zhllg.livejournal.com我要回来也没有怎么好好利用。不过我还没有归还的打算。问题的关键在于,我不想让别人误解我转投了fedora core的阵营,;) 刚刚写了个脚本来更新handbook翻译进度表 http://gentoo.linuxsir.org/doc/progress.xml#doc_chap4 如果发现英文版有了新版本,就更新表格中英文版的版本和日期,并且把进度改成W,完成期限置空 我的xml技术了解不是很深,这样处理xml,似乎很不专业 就当抛砖引玉了 getdate() { grep Header $1 | egrep -o '200[0-9]/[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{2}' } getver() { grep Header $1 | egrep -o 'v [0-9]+\.[0-9]+' } PREFIX=/home/zhangle/gentoo/xml/htdocs/ for i in `grep -o '/doc/en/handbook/.*\.xml' progress.xml` do olddate=$(grep -A 1 $i progress.xml | egrep -o 200[0-9]/[0-9]\{2\}/[0-9]\{2\}) newdate=$(getdate $PREFIX$i) if [[ $olddate != $newdate ]]; then j=${i//\//\\\/} sed -i -e " /$j/ { N N s#$i.*\n <ti>200[0-9]/[0-9]\{2\}/[0-9]\{2\}#$i\">$(getver $PREFIX$i)</ur

Gentoo开发者

终于我跻身Gentoo开发者的行列了 首先有一件要宣布的事是,我改nick了 r0bertz 来到香港后,我的英文名一直叫Robert,原因是叫罗伯特的球星很多 Z就是Zhang的第一个字母 改的原因是 zhllg 不好发音 我的@gentoo.org的邮箱就是r0bertz http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/roll-call/devmap.xml?dev=r0bertz http://cia.vc/stats/author/r0bertz 等到6个月后,我就可以成mentor了,也就是导师,就可以直接带更多同胞进gentoo了,;) Gentoo是什么?
