As you are no doubt aware, some (insert your favorite deragatory epithet)
|
||
|
has trademarked the name "Linux" is now out trying to collect from
|
||
|
everyone they can.
|
||
|
<P>
|
||
|
An intellectual property attorney friend of mine, G. Gervaise Davis III,
|
||
|
is offering to get this trademark killed pro bono, if we can cover the
|
||
|
expenses. His opinion, not having seen the original papers filed for the
|
||
|
trademark, is that the original has absolutely no legal standing, and will
|
||
|
probably be killed by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as soon as we
|
||
|
make the proper legal moves.
|
||
|
<P>
|
||
|
Please forward this email to anyone/everyone. I'm especially interested
|
||
|
in hearing from anyone who has received a collection letter, and also from
|
||
|
Linus or someone else who can direct us to where the trademark should
|
||
|
rightfully go. Also, this effort should be coordinated nationally or
|
||
|
globally.

<P>
|

With regard to the attack made on WGS, as well as the Greater Linux Community
|
||
|
by William R. Della Croche claiming that he owns the Linux Trademark...
|
||
|
There is no way this is true. We have retained an attorney and will be making
|
||
|
a public announcement soon that benefits the entire Linux community.
|
||
|
Thousands are aware of this situation, and have offered to help. The best
|
||
|
help you could give us, is to see if there is something we offer in our Linux
|
||
|
Shopping mall that you would like to own, and if so buy it. We add new products
|
||
|
almost daily. If you don't see what you want, ask, or refer a friend to us.

Thank you!

It's to support the everyday, run-of-the-mill user with various support

Linus Torvalds, the Finish guru creator of the operating system "Linux"
|
||
|
landed in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to the expectation of many. Invited
|
||
|
by InterSoft, the multinational software producer, Mr. Torvalds lectured
|
||
|
to a wide range of public about the "Software Free" concept, its
|
||
|
relation with Internet and Linux' characteristics.
|
||
|
<P>
|
||
|
The range of ideas spread by Linus Torvalds in Argentina where laid out
|
||
|
in terms of "knowledge sharing" and "composing from different creators".
|
||
|
"Company's tendencies will integrate parts of free software forming a
|
||
|
system to curb the commercial industry of software" --substantiated Mr.
|
||
|
Torvalds. Also, the concept of "the idea that technology were humanity'
|
||
|
patrimony, based on the free distribution of software and its source
|
||
|
codes" was expressed in several occasions.
|
||
|
<P>
|
||
|
Also, Torvalds decided also to introduce "Scriptum", the first adaptable
|
||
|
editor to different Linux' environments, created by InterSoft. Scriptum
|
||
|
was created in Argentina and developed as a powerful tool capable to run
|
||
|
of different platforms and offer several features. With Scriptum, almost
|
||
|
the entire working environment can be configured, totally integrated to
|
||
|
RCS/SCCS tools and UNIX (grepp, diff, etc.) and powerful navigation
|
||
|
commands to find sources, data and documents.

The San Jose Mercury News published an interview with Linus Torvalds on

September 8, 1996 in which Linus is quoted as saying

<blockquote> <I>

Microsoft operating systems are bad, and their morals are even worse. But

they make some good applications.

|
||
|
<P>
|
||
|
The official release of BRLTTY, a software system
|
||
|
to allow access to the console of a Unix system for users of soft Braille
|
||
|
displays, has been announced.
|
||
|
<P>
|
||
|
BRLTTY currently runs under Linux (kernel version 1.1.92 or later) on a PC
|
||
|
or DEC Alpha.
|
||
|
<P>
|
||
|
The package has been uploaded to sunsite.unc.edu in the directory
|
||
|
/pub/Linux/Incoming. It is expected to move to /pub/Linux/system/Access at
|
||
|
some later date (please note the move from /pub/Linux/utils/console).
|
||
|
<P>
|
||
|
FEATURES
|
||
|
<ul>
|
||
|
<li>Full implementation of the standard screen review facilities.
|
||
|
<li>A wide range of additional optional features, including blinking
|
||
|
cursor and capital letters, screen freezing for leisurely review,
|
||
|
attribute display to locate highlighted text, hypertext links, etc.
|
||
|
<li>`Intelligent' cursor routing. This allows easy movement of the cursor
|
||
|
in text editors etc. without moving the hands from the Braille
|
||
|
display.
|
||
|
<li>A cut & paste function. This is particularly useful for copying long
|
||
|
filenames, complicated commands etc.
|
||
|
<li>An on-line help facility.
|
||
|
<li>Support for multiple Braille codes.
|
||
|
<li>Modular design allows relatively easy addition of drivers for other
|
||
|
Braille displays, or even (hopefully) porting to other Unix-like
|
||
|
platforms.

multiple simultaneous flicker-free displays of efficiently

redrawn continuous and non-continuous animated areas with the

Qt GUI Toolkit. Animated areas are two-dimensional rectangular

motion. Applications vary from computer games to simulations.

TeamRooms - Internet groupware environment for Linux</H3>
|
||
|
<P>
|
||
|
Mark Roseman, University of Calgary CPSC,
|
||
|
announced the first public beta release of TeamRooms,
|
||
|
an Internet groupware environment that lets you work together with
|
||
|
colleagues in real-time or asynchronously, using Unix, Mac and Windows.
|
||
|
<P>
|
||
|
TeamRooms provides "shared spaces" on the Internet allowing groups
|
||
|
to share information. These electronic team rooms provide places
|
||
|
to meet in real-time, or a common locale to leave information for
|
||
|
other collaborators. TeamRooms combines real-time groupware
|
||
|
technologies such as shared whiteboards, chat rooms, and customizable
|
||
|
groupware applets with a persistent work environment.
|
