I am continually impressed by the tolerance that openSUSE Tumbleweed has to delays between updates. The recommendation is weekly, maybe bi-weekly to keep your system up to day. It is NOT a good idea to go much more than a month but I have been sloppy from time to time. The great thing about Tumbleweed […]

A importância da modelagem de ativos 3D é inegável na era do metaverso. Os métodos tradicionais de modelagem 3D de cenas sintéticas realistas envolvem tarefas minuciosas de design complexo, refinamento e comunicação com o cliente.

Em minha jornada diária e persistente de vasculhar meticulosamente os artigos científicos publicados, buscando identificar aqueles que, inquestionavelmente, moldarão o panorama do futuro, quero destacar de forma especial o 3D-GPT.

Esse artigo, que foi divulgado na última quinta-feira, dia 19 de outubro de 2023, não é apenas mais um entre tantos. Ele apresenta e discorre sobre a iminente e fascinante convergência entre o metaverso e a inteligência artificial. Essa fusão, conforme evidenciado no documento, promete redefinir os paradigmas de como percebemos e interagimos com realidades virtuais, destacando-se como um marco no avanço tecnológico e conceitual. A relevância deste paper é tamanha que ele pode muito bem ser um dos pilares que sustentará as inovações nas próximas décadas.

Resumindo, o paper 3D-GPT, utiliza Large Language Mode (LLMs) para modelagem 3D orientada por instruções. Neste contexto, o 3D-GPT capacita os LLMs para proporcionar tarefas de modelagem 3D em segmentos gerenciáveis e determinando o agente apropriado para cada um.

O 3D-GPT é estruturado com a presença de três agentes fundamentais que desempenham papéis específicos: o agente de despacho de tarefa, responsável por organizar e delegar funções; o agente de conceituação, que interpreta e conceitua as diretrizes; e o agente de modelagem, encarregado do processo de construção e modelagem 3D em si. Trabalhando de forma integrada, estes agentes coletivamente perseguem dois propósitos de grande importância. O primeiro deles envolve um aprimoramento sistemático e consistente das descrições iniciais da cena, que são breves e sucinta. Estas descrições são progressivamente transformadas e evoluídas para representações mais detalhadas e complexas, ao mesmo tempo que o 3D-GPT ajusta e modifica dinamicamente o texto, levando em consideração as instruções adicionais que são fornecidas ao longo do processo. Como segundo objetivo, o 3D-GPT se empenha em incorporar de maneira fluida e contínua técnicas de geração procedural. Isto é realizado através da extração de valores específicos de parâmetros presentes no texto enriquecido, facilitando assim a interface e integração com programas especializados em 3D, otimizando a criação de ativos digitais.

No video acima, podemos notar que o 3D-GPT fornece resultados confiáveis e colabora efetivamente com designers humanos. Além disso, ele se integra perfeitamente ao Blender, desbloqueando mais possibilidades de manipulação. O trabalho destaca o imenso potencial dos LLMs na modelagem 3D, estabelecendo as bases para futuros avanços na geração de cenas e animação.

Ya es definitivo, ya tiene fecha oficial de lanzamiento: Plasma 6 será lanzado el 28 de febrero de 2024. Esta gran buena nueva viene a constatar que las cosas van como deben ir pero que la Comunidad KDE no quiere precipitarse y desean que el lanzamiento de su nuevo entorno de trabajo sea lo más estable posible. Una decisión sabia ya que en realidad se tiene prisa porque con Plasma 5 tenemos un excelente escritorio .

Plasma 6 será lanzado el 28 de febrero de 2024

Lo cierto es que no tengo ninguna prisa por cambiar de escritorio, el actual Plasma 5 cubre de sobras mis expectativas, pero algo que he aprendido en el mundo del Software es que el estancamiento es sinónimo de desaparición, algo queno está en los planes de la Comunidad KDE.

De esta forma, en estos últimos meses hemos leído como se ha ido precisando el momento exacto del lanzamiento de Plasma 6, el cual ha sido fijado para el 28 de febrero de 2024, ligeramente más tarde de lo que inicialemnte se tenía previsto con lo que queda claro que no se quiere repetir el problema de la transición de KDE 3 a KDE 4 y que se quiere mejorar el éxito de la transición de KDE 4 a Plasma 5.

Este lanzamiento formará lo que se ha denominado como el Mega Febrero ya que no solo se lanzará Plasma 6 sino que vendrá acompañado KDE Gear 24.02.0 y KDE Frameworks 6.0, los otros dos pilares que forman parte de la estructura del Software KDE.

Según el calendario oficial, estos son las fechas para anotar en el calendario:

• 8 de noviembre de 2023: Alfa – KDE Gear 24.01.75 / KDE Plasma 5.80.0 / KDE Frameworks 5.245.0.
• 29 de noviembre de 2023: Beta 1 – KDE Gear 24.01.80 / KDE Plasma 5.90.0 / KDE Frameworks 5.246.0.
• 20 de diciembre de 2023: Beta 2 – KDE Gear 24.01.85 / KDE Plasma 5.91.0 / KDE Frameworks 5.247.0.
• 10 de enero de 2024: Release Candidate 1 – KDE Gear 24.01.90 / KDE Plasma 5.92.0 / KDE Frameworks 5.248.0.
• 31 de enero de 2024: Release Candidate 2 – KDE Gear 24.01.95 / KDE Plasma 5.93.0 / KDE Frameworks 5.249.0.
• 21 de febrero de 2024: Publicación Tarball privada – KDE Gear 24.02.0 / KDE Plasma 6.0 / KDE Frameworks 6.0.
• 28 de febrero de 2024: Publicación pública – KDE Gear 24.02.0 / KDE Plasma 6.0 / KDE Frameworks 6.0.

Personalmente os anuncio que yo iré al ritmo que me marque KDE Neon, mi distribución de cabecera y que cuando se pase a Plasma 6 yo iré detrás.

Mientras tanto, os recuerdo que sigue en marcha el concurso para buscar el nuevo fondo de pantalla por defecto del escritorio… que hay ya muchas aportaciones y que todavía estás a tiempo de participar.

Hace tres años que no digo nada de los actos que organiza los chicos y chicas de Barcelona Free Software. Y es que este ha sido el tiempor en que han estado aletargados eperando poder volver a reunirse. Es por ello que me llena de alegría compartir su regreso. Concretamente será el jueves 26 de octubre con una charla titulada «Hack your Air Conditioning system» en el que se explicará precisamente eso, cómo cHackear su sistema de aire acondicionado

Hack your Air Conditioning system, nueva charla de Barcelona Free Software

La pandemia fue un duro golpe para todos los eventos presenciales. Muchos se adaptaron para convertirse virtuales pero otros no resistieron el corte de la desaparición del factor presencial. Poco a poco se van recuperando casi todos los encuentros que teníamos, como es el caso de las reuniones de Barcelona Free Software.

Tras varias años de silencio vuelven a la vida con una charla a cargo de Albert Vaca, el mítico creador de KDE Connect, que en este caso vuelve a solucionar un problema que seguro que alguno de vosotros se ha planteado alguna vez. En sus palabras:

Mi HVAC (Calefacción, Ventilación y Aire Acondicionado) no tenía forma de ser controlado a través de internet o desde un smartphone, así que decidí hacer un ataque de persona en el medio, decodificar las comunicaciones del mando y la unidad principal, e inyectar mis propios paquetes para poder conectarlo a mi casa inteligente.

Como vemos, Albert de nuevo pone todo su intelecto para solucionar su problema y compartirlo con el resto de personas que quieran saber cómo lo ha hecho.

La información básica de la charla es:

• Día: Jueves 26 de octubre de 2023
• Hora: 19:00
• Lugar: Kiwi.com Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes 613, 4th Floor · Barcelona, ak

Y el programa es el siguiente:

19:00 – 19:15: Networking
19:15 – 19:45: Charla
19:45 – 21:00: Networking

No te lo pienses. ¡Te esperamos el jueves 26 de octubre!

¿Qué es Meetup?

Las charlas de Barcelona Free Software se organizan mediante Meetup, una red social que tiene una diferencia básica respecto a otras redes sociales, ya que promueve la formación de grupos en torno a intereses con el fin de que sus miembros se conozcan cara a cara.

Es decir, los usuarios establecen contacto a través de grupos digitales nuevos o ya creados, partiendo de intereses comunes como política, libros, juegos, películas, salud, mascotas,

All Things Open (ATO) is one of my favorite conferences. This week I had the privilege to be in Raleigh, NC for the third time, and give a talk at the conference for the fourth time. I participated not just ATO, but the Community Leadership Summit. Both events were fantastic. I learned a lot, and also realized that many others have the very same problems as I have. I also had a slight overdose of AI :-)

Why I like ATO?

Normally I prefer small events, like Pass the Salt. Small events are more comfortable, have more discussions, more interactions between participants. Large events are noisy, and if you are an introvert (like me), then it’s hard to engage in meaningful interactions with others.

Why do I like to attend ATO then? Obviously, there is noise, lots of it. But no matter how shy I am, I have tons of good discussions both with sudo/syslog-ng users and with completely random participants.

How is it possible? I guess it can be attributed to many things. First and foremost, Todd Lewis, who founded this event 11 years ago, and has kept running it ever since. He keeps saying “Thank you” to everyone, and he means it. Last time we met was four years ago. When we ran into each other on the corridors, he remembered my name, where I am coming from, which events I participate and about my talk too. And he thanked me for being here at ATO.

The name of the conference includes the word “open”. It does not only refer to open source, but also to being open minded. I talked to dozens of people during ATO, and everyone was fully open minded. I cannot find the website boasting it anymore, but once I read that the Research Triangle is the highest average IQ area of the whole US. I do not know how much of it is true, but I met a lot of bright people here. Everyone I talked to was open to new ideas, and no discussions were side tracked by endless ranting about software licenses, closed source software, or other creations of the devil…

Community Leadership Summit

On the first day I participated a co-located event, the Community Leadership Summit. After the opening thoughts of Jono Bacon, the conference had a rather unconventional format, discussion groups. These sessions are lead by volunteers, who introduce their topic, and also make sure that the discussion is kept on track.

To me the main message was that around the world many community leaders have the very same problems as I experience. And I learned about problems I definitely want to avoid. Just to name a few:

• If you invest time and energy into an open source community, it will usally have positive effects after 3-5 years.
• Building up trust, and the community based on this trust, is a lenghty process. Destroying this trust is a rapid process…
• If you abandon investing in your community, it still might go on for a few years, even grow for a while, but you lose trust and users over time, and it will be difficult to win them back.
• There are no metrics to demonstrate, how your open-source software improves the sales of your commercial offering. Even if there are direct connections, sales often tries to hide the evidence.
• There are software to measure the health of open source communities by measuring developer activity, support forum activity, etc., but they answer only part of the questions, and any measurement can easily lead to false results (daily user activity jumping 100x could easily mean a technical problem in a new release).

AI, OpenTelemetry and other topics

One of the returning topics at the conference was AI and LLM. It is a huge and contradictory topic, and it was also reflected in the talks. There were many opposing opinions:

• AI is not evil, but of course it can be misused.
• AI is evil, doomed to fail, but open source AI might be good.
• AI is good for math and coding, but not for generic questions.
• AI might be good for generic questions, but proven to fail with basic math on the eight largest AI services.

My personal view is a mixture of these: AI might be useful in some cases, but gives useless answers in many cases. It is far from perfect, but getting better. There is a strong need for open source: not just AI software, but also training data. So, all pieces are out in the open to experiment with.

The talk by Frank Karlitschek of NextCloud provided probably the most balanced view: https://2023.allthingsopen.org/sessions/what-does-the-ai-revolution-mean-for-open-source-open-tech-and-open-societies/ The recording of this talk should be available soon.

Another topic, which came up both in a dedicated talk, and as part of other topics: OpenTelemetry. When it comes to Kubernetes, but even without it (FreeBSD users were asking for OpenTelemetry support), OpenTelemetry is an emerging new standard embraced by many large and smaller organizations for collecting logs, metrics and traces. Support for OpenTelmetry was added to syslog-ng by Axoflow. It has some rough edges, like difficulty to compile, OS support is really limited, however it is definitely a step into the right direction.

The conference had several social events to help networking. I had many good discussions. Of course my favorite was about syslog-ng. Recently I have seen a lot of activity around syslog-ng in the OpenNMS. I put it on my To-do list to take a closer look. As it turned out, my discussion partner worked on OpenNMS for over eight years!

Unfortunately some of the best talks were not recorded: communication skills for developers and developer advocates, monetizing open source, and talking about open source with your managers. As I have lived and breathed open source for almost 30 years now, much of these were nothing new for me. However, these were very well written talks, and would be fantastic if they could reach a lot larger audience.

My talk

This year I talked about sudo at ATO: https://2023.allthingsopen.org/sessions/sudo-giving-access-while-staying-in-control/ It went pretty well, even with jet lag. I received many good questions about sudo functionality during and after my talk. English is not my native language, so I was especially happy that the audience was laughing when I improvised a few jokes on stage :-)

My talk was not recorded, however not everything is lost. All topics I talked about at the conference are covered in the sudo blogs at https://www.sudo.ws/posts/

Thank you!

Finally, I want to say “Thank you!” to many people. To Todd Lewis for organizing this event, to the volunteers and sponsors, who made it happen. And of course to all people who came to my talk. I hope you did not just learn something new about sudo, but that you will also implement these in your own environment.

I hope to see you again next year! :-)

This is a short message from the openSUSE Board that we are posting on our communication channels and is a reminder that we ask each and every one of you to be kind, considerate and welcoming to people on all our communication channels.

Let’s foster a positive atmosphere for people on all of our communication channels.

Our channels are a wonderful place for collaboration, but also remember that open-source is not about telling others what or how to build.

How we communicate can benefit and/or hinder our community. Please do your part to always be welcoming, kind, mindful and respectful to one another, so that we can all help each other build a healthy community. The way we communicate can help us create a friendly environment for all.

Also, we’d like to refer to our Code of Conduct.

Snapshots of openSUSE Tumbleweed this week ranged from small- to medium-sized updates.

Snapshots are rolling out consistently this week and updates for GNOME, KDE Gear, PipeWire and more have all been making it into the hands of rolling release users.

While a few GNOME packages, arrived this week, snapshot 20231017 updates just one. The Japanese logo game gnome-sudoku updates to version 45.1 and it fixes a right-click to correctly open the earmark popover while also updating translations. An update of the ncurses 6.4.20231007 improves the loop limit for get_position(), enhancements a manual description and fixes for formatting issues with manpages. The package also enhances ` setupterm use and improves error messages in tic`. Another package to update was nodejs20 20.8.1 that addresses severalCommon Vulnerabilities and Exposures. CVE-2023-44487, CVE-2023-45143 and CVE-2023-39333, which was susceptible to a WebAssembly module that could inject JavaScript code, were among the six CVE that were addressed. The terminal emulator xterm 387 update includes the addition of some control sequences and corrects indexing expressions. The package also made memory usage configurable for buffering Device Control Strings and Operating System Command strings. A few other packages were updated in the snapshot.

More GNOME packages were updated in snapshot 20231016. Those packages include mutter 45.0+45, which has fixes related to blob size and stack overflow, gnome-photos 44.0+23, which includes the addition of mnemonics in photos-embed, and gnome-user-share 43.0+11, which fixes the bug-database value to point to GNOME GitLab Issues and ensure more accurate bug tracking. Another package to update in the snapshot was zchunk 1.3.2. The compressed file format package improves the handling overflow errors in malformed zchunk files to prevent potential crashes or unexpected behavior. The update of python-qt5 5.15.10 includes the addition of missing QEvent to improve compatibility with Qt versions 5.2 and later. The package also now requires python-qt5-sip v12.13, which was also made available in the update. A few other packages were updated in the snapshot.

Just two packages were updated in snapshot 20231015. The package for manipulating block devices, libblockdev updates to version 3.0.4. Improvements like the use of g_autofree for memory management, corrected descriptions and reworked memory allocation became available to users who did a zypper dup during or after this snapshot. A package also made some adjustments to spec files and logging settings for better functionality and maintainability. The python-cffi 1.16.0 version cleans up its spec file. This Python for calling C code includes support for Python 3.12 and notes that projects using C Foreign Function Interface features dependent on distutils should add a dependency on setuptools for Python 3.12 and above. The package drops support for older Python versions like 2.7, 3.6 and 3.7. The package update reflects a focus on Python 3.8 and newer versions.

The snapshot from last Friday, snapshot 20231013, updates the font rendering package freetype2 to version 2.13.2. The package includes better support for Compact Font Format 2 variation fonts and removes the TrueType interpreter version 38. The package also brings improved support for OpenVMS. An update of pipewire 0.3.81 addresses sound-related issues and ensures that pro-audio functions produce sound correctly. The package now requires Vulkan 1.3 and enables jackdbus support by default. There is improved Advanced Linux Sound Architecture scheduling and support for old and new versions of webrtc-audio-processing. Along with the pipewire update, the 0.4.15 version of wireplumber arrives in the snapshot. This policy manager includes the addition of a Digital Signal Processing (DSP) policy module, which automatically loads a filter-chain for specific hardware devices, ensures audio passes through software DSP, particularly to support Apple M1/M2 devices. Wireplumber now supports loading module arguments directly and improves the device profile selection policies. An update of samba took care of a handful of CVEs and microos-tools receives a 2.21+git5 update that includes setting mount propagations properly and adds a spec file. Along with widget abstraction library libyui 4.6.1, several other Libyui packages updated in the snapshot. With it and the others, the Qt Package Manager now provides the option to display a patterns order column and shows invisible patterns when corresponding environment variables are set. A few qt6 subpackages were also updated in the snapshot.

One of the snapshots that didn’t make it into last week’s Tumbleweed review was 20231012. This snapshot had two yast2 packages, yast2-country and yast2-x11, upgrade from a 4.6 version to the 5.0.1 version. Another openSUSE package to update in the snapshot was zypper. This 1.14.66 package manager version has updates to include returning exit code 104 when information suggests near matches, rephrases upgrade messages for openSUSE Tumbleweed and fixes some typos and spelling errors. KDE Gear 23.08.2 also updates in this snapshot. Video editor Kdenlive resolves some erratic behavior when adding transitions to clips that ensures clips with audio don’t block sound on video tracks. The package also optimizes RAM usage for better performance. With Kitinerary there are enhancements for handling newer UK railway PDF tickets to extracting multi-leg PDF tickets. The package also gains the ability to merge international Renfe results and streamline ticket handling and management. Compression and decompression utility Ark drops an unused dependency and adds a missing KWindowSystem dependency.
