CCSL

Conceptual integrity arises not (simply) from one mind or from a small number of agreeing resonant minds, but from sometimes hidden co-authors and the things designed themselves.

This presentation was created by Richard P Gabriel and presented at IME-USP - São Paulo on 30/Mar/2011 sponsored by CCSL

O curso de Administração do Centro Universitário da FEI (Fundação Educacional Inaciana) promoverá no dia 29, a partir das 19h, no campus São Paulo (rua Tamandaré, 688), debate sobre software livre. O encontro contará com a participação de especialistas do setor, como Krishna Pennacchioni, responsável pelo portal da MTV, e Nelson Lago, do Centro de Competências em Software Livre. O debate é aberto ao público.

The Android platform has enjoyed a massive increase since its introduction just over two years ago. Today it is already present in over 90 devices from 21 manufacturers, and recently we hit 100,000 applications in Adroid Market. In this presentation we will talk about the Android philosophy, the motivations for mobile development, the history of Android, application distribution methods, and the latest news on the platform.

On November 8 and 9, the second edition of the Computational Linguistics Workshop was held at the University of São Paulo, promoted by the Department of Linguistics of College of Philosophy, Languages, and Social Studies, the Department of Computer Engineering and Digital Systems of the Polytechnic School, and the Department of Computer Science of the Mathematics and Statistics Institute, with the support of CCSL (the Free Software Center), the local FLOSS Competence Center.
