And what's happening here?

So what's happening here?

What's happening here is the step-by-step instructions for how to install the Android emulator on Ubuntu 10.04 in 60 seconds (admittedly not including the ridiculous time it takes to download the various Android platforms you want to support). And so, without further ado, let's get to work.

What's this all about?

It's about how to, on your Ubuntu 10.04 system, install VirtualBox, then download and run the spanking new Nuxeo DAM 1.1 digital asset management software in a VirtualBox session. And ... go.

So ... you have a Ubuntu 10.04 system, and you want to install the brand new, open source Nuxeo DAM 1.1 Digital Asset Management software in 60 seconds. No problem.

The Linux kernel programming course for beginners? It's right there on your left. Enjoy.

... check back in a bit if you want to know about the introductory kernel programming course Jon Masters mentioned in the keynote. Or just look up there on your left.

No, your other left.

P.S. I'm at OLS most of the week if you want to chat. rpjday@crashcourse.ca.

LATE BREAKING NEWS: For folks around Toronto who are interested in taking a first-level administration course in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), I'm arranging with a Toronto business college to offer exactly that toward the end of this month.

We're still fleshing out the details but it will be four days of classroom instruction, with a cost of only $1700 (CAD) per student -- an obvious bargain these days.

At this point, we're about halfway through our inaugural "Introduction to Linux Kernel Programming" course. That would be the course link up there on your left. No, your other left.

Enjoy.

P.S. And just wait until you see the new web site banner graphic. Coming soon. You are going to be so jealous. Seriously.

P.P.S. If you want to keep up with course (and other) developments in real time, well, this is me on Twitter. I am now off to write the next lesson.

Not rocket surgery but here's how to check out and build the current development version of Blender on Ubuntu 10.04 so you can get a look at all the cool new features of Blender 2.5.

First, the packages you'll need:

 python3.1-dev \
 scons \

The packages

According to this, there are some convenient packages of Nuxeo DM and Nuxeo DAM for Ubuntu. For my local drinking buddies, I'll just expand a bit on what's written there.
