FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
No Starch Press Sponsors CodeCon 2006, One of the Few True Hacker
Conferences
February 8, 2006, San Francisco—For the fourth year in a row, No Starch
Press will sponsor CodeCon (www.codecon.org), internationally recognized
as the premier showcase of cutting-edge software development. Being held
February 10-12 at StudioZ in San Francisco’s South of Market district,
CodeCon gives programmers a forum for demonstrating their work and
keeping abreast of what’s going on in their community.
CodeCon’s program offers a prescient look at the direction of technology
in the digital era and features hacker projects and presentations by
active developers of real-world applications with working code. All
presentations are given by one of the developers involved and are
accompanied by a functional demo.
Tickets will be $85 at the door. StudioZ is located at 314 11th Street,
and more information and directions are available at www.studioz.tv.
ABOUT CODECON
Founded in 2002 by Bram Cohen and Len Sassaman, this marks CodeCon's
fifth year in existence. The show is known for offering an excellent,
low-cost opportunity for programmers to meet and discuss the
cutting-edge techniques being developed by the most creative members of
their profession.

Scientists IMECS 2006)
IMECS 2006: 20-22 June, 2006, Hong Kong
http://www.iaeng.org/IMECS2006/IWEE2006.html
The IWEE'06 workshop is held as part of the International
MultiConference of Engineers and Computer Scientists 2006. The IMECS
2006 is organized by the International Association of Engineers
(IAENG), and serves as good platforms for the engineering community
members to meet with each other and to exchange ideas. Extended version
of the papers under this workshop can be included in the special issue
of our journal Engineering Letters. And, further extended version can
also be included in a book called "Current Trends in Electrical
Engineering " to be published by IAENG.
The IMECS 2006 multiconference has the focus on the frontier topics in
the theoretical and applied engineering and computer science subjects.
It consists of 14 workshops (see the details at IMECS website:
www.iaeng.org/IMECS2006). The multiconference serves as good platforms
for the engineering community members of different disciplines to meet
with each other and to exchange ideas. The current conference committee
of the IMECS 2006 includes over 140 workshop co-chairs and committee
members of mainly research center heads, department heads, professors,
research scientists from over 20 countries, while a few of the
committee members are also experienced software development directors
and engineers.
All submitted papers will be under peer review and accepted papers will
be published in the conference proceeding (ISBN: 988-98671-3-3). The
abstracts will be indexed and available at major academic databases.
The Technology Research Databases (TRD) of CSA (Cambridge Scientific
Abstracts), DBLP and Computer Science Bibliographies have promised to
index the print proceeding in advance of its publication. And after the
publication of the proceeding, print copies will also be sent to
databases like IEE INSPEC, Engineering Index (EI) and ISI Thomson
Scientific for indexing. The accepted papers will also be considered
for publication in the special issues of the journal Engineering
Letters. Some participants may also be invited to submit extended
version of their conference papers for considering as book chapters
(soon after the conference).
The topics of the workshop include, but not limited to, the following:
Biotechnology: such as EEG, ECG, and EKG, various other monitoring
equipment
Electronics: such as integrated circuit, computer, electronic amplifier
Power engineering: such as electrical generators, electric power
transmission
Telecommunication: such as television, radio, mobile phone, optical
multiple access technologies
Control engineering: such as auto pilot, cruise control, climate
control, space exploration, smart bomb
Signal processing: such as electronic filter, digital filter, video and
audio codec, radar, sonar, beamforming

Subject: aterr version 0.9.1
Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2006 10:51:36 -0600
The Chimaera Project is pleased to announce the public release of
version 0.9.1 of aterr, an open source threaded forum system.
Version 0.9.1 of aterr fixes problems with MySQL 5 incompatibility, and
includes a few minor improvements and bugfixes to the installation
procedure.
aterr is a threaded forum system, allowing registered visitors to
express their opinions, discuss topics, and debate with other visitors.
A threaded forum system differs from regular, flat forum systems in
that once posted, a thread can fork, allowing visitors to reply
directly to other posts. aterr also provides a customisable permissions
system, the ability to nest forums, and moderation tools.
aterr can be downloaded from:
--> http://chimaera.starglade.org/aterr/aterr-0.9.1.tar.gz
A demonstration site, as well as the official support forums, is at:
--> http://chimaera.starglade.org/forums/
aterr is released under the GNU GPL.
