• GNU-Darwin Resume Service: editing, critiquing, examples

  http://www.gnu-darwin.org/index.php?page=resume-service http://www.gnu-darwin.org/index.php?page=service-resume

  Would you like a noted Ph.D to check your résumé? We will read, edit, or critique your résumé. We can make suggestions that will help you not only with your résumé, but with your career. If you want to try this service,
  the charge is [1]$125 via PayPal. The service is flexible,
  and payment is negotiable. In this undertaking, Dr. Love is accompanied
  by a receptionist with many years of experience in writing and reading
  résumés inside and outside of her profession. We can help you.

  Here are some examples.

  Dr. Love's [2]CV and [3]NIH Biosketch
  [4]The Distribution Résumé

  For GNU-Darwin developers and contributors above the $125 level, the
  service is free. In addition, for free and open source software
  programmers, we offer many software packages and tons of documentation
  concerning résumés and résumé building. Here is one example that is
  particularly hot right now.

  [5]XML Resume Library

  For more information, [6]email Dr. Love, proclus@gnu-darwin.org, with
  GNU-DarwinResumes in the subject line. Please enjoy and spread the word
  about our Résumé related offerings. Feel free to pass this message
  along as you like.

• GNU-Darwin: Shell, Web Hosting, Email Access Accounts

  I would like to remind our users, sponsors, and friends to subscribe to a GNU-Darwin Shell, Email, and Web Hosting Access Account, and spread the word too!

  http://www.gnu-darwin.org/index.php?page=about-webmail

  http://webmail.gnu-darwin.org/

  I find that having a shell access account out in cyberspace is very
  convenient for various network and software testing chores and
  indispensable to my work, both at home and at the University. It
  includes Apache web server and OpenSSH access to a full ports tree
  loaded with great software like FFmpeg, ImageMagick, netcat, fetchmail,
  many scripting languages like Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, and all password
  protected.

  GNU-Darwin internet services, now include email, shell access, total SSL
  encryption, SMTP-on-LAN, web hosting, web mail, IMAP, virtual domains
  and flexible subdomains as well. Given all that we provide, this is a
  deal that is hard to beat. The first month is free, and thereafter it
  is only $15 per year. We also provide free access to GNU-Darwin coders
  and contributors.

  These are not mere email or web hosting accounts; for example, if you
  wanted a new user name, webpage, gnu-darwin subdomain, or something
  special, we often include it at no additional charge. Some of
  our developers have made excellent use of these accounts, so that
  they are among our top referrers. Here are their web account links, so
  that you can see what is possible. Cheers!

  http://yves.gnu-darwin.org/
  http://plumber.gnu-darwin.org/

  In addition, more information about these accounts and everything else
  that the distro has to offer is now described in our new User Guide and
  Cookbook, which is also worth a read.

• GNU-Darwin: software up and coming, Inkscape

  I have done a survey of popular free software projects, and I am
  pleased to report that we are covering the bases on the most
  important projects. In addition there is one new project which stands
  out as particularly useful, receiving attention, and which you should be
  made aware of. If anyone would like to use the program, it is probably
  trivial to install it on our work stations.

  The name of this program is Inkscape. Inkscape is an svg editor, which
  was used to create thousands of the images that are available on
  Wikipedia. It is a scalable vector graphics editor, like Adobe
  Illustrator, Corel Draw, Freehand, or Xara X. I had a look at some of
  the images that were created with this package, and it produces some
  very impressive results, due to the fact that the images are recorded in
  a resolution independent way, unlike the raster images produced by most
  molecular graphics programs, as well as GIMP and Photoshop. svg is the
  native format of Inkscape, which makes it a very useful program for
  dividing svg files, a common graphics format on the web, into their
  parts. Here is a link to the project home page and SourceForge summary.

  http://www.inkscape.org/
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/?abmode=1

  Other important projects, which we are already using, and for which we
  have provided advice and user training are as follows.

  openssh
  secure logins, etc

  imagemagick
  graphics suite for display and batch manipulation of images

  ffmpeg
  multimedia inter-conversions with piping and streaming

  mozilla firefox
  web browser, etc

  Although we have provided quite alot of support for these projects
  already, they are very powerful programs, and it is unlikely that we
  are tapping their full potential. We should also add Inkscape to the
  list, IMHO. If you feel that we need additional support or
  documentation of these programs, be sure and let me know.

  Regards,

• [FSF] Why free software and Apple's iPhone don't mix

  FSF has a new article about the broken by design Apple iPhone including 3G.

  http://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/why-free-software-and-apples-iphone-dont-mix

  Importantly, they note that the iPhone Developer Program License
  Agreement is incompatible with GPLv3. Given that about 90% of GPL
  covered projects have gone over to GPLv3, this is an interesting
  restriction on Apple's part. The freedom to modify and share software
  is a paramount component of software freedom, which Apple is restricting
  for iPhone users. This article is an important read.

  There is a worm in the apple cart, and it is upset. I'd suggest a look
  at FreeRunner, which I have had my eye on for a long time.
