Delcam adds more clip-art to $149 engraving and woodworking software

September 29th, 2011

Delcam has added 130 extra reliefs to the range of standard clip-art supplied with its ArtCAM Express software for engraving and woodworking, including architectural, floral, frame and texture examples. The price of this entry-level version of the company’s ArtCAM artistic CADCAM system remains at US$149, £99 or 125 Euros. For full details on ArtCAM Express and to download a trial version, please go to www.artcamexpress.com.

The extensive clip-art library is a key part in making ArtCAM Express the easiest to learn engraving and routing program currently available. New customers can use the library to create their first models simply by pasting items into their designs. All the clip-art items can be scaled, copied or combined to give complete designs.

Once the user has gained the confidence to create original designs, the software includes a range of 2D drawing tools for creating both geometric and free-form shapes, and also for editing and repairing imported 2D files. Designs can be imported in DXF, DWG, AI and EPS 2D formats, plus designs from Alias Wavefront, 3D Studio and other members of the ArtCAM family.

The options for text creation within ArtCAM Express support a wide range of standard fonts and also give complete control over spacing, kerning, and line and paragraph formatting.

To help visualise the designs, they can be rendered in numerous materials, including the most common metals and different types of wood, such as mahogany or maple, complete with wood-grain direction. If the final design requires external approval from the client, it can be emailed as a rotatable 3D PDF.

Once the design has been finalised, ArtCAM Express offers a variety of strategies for CNC machining. 2D strategies supported include area clearance, profiling, engraving, vector-based machining and drilling, plus V-bit carving on standard Windows fonts. In addition, a 3D raster toolpath can be created within a vector boundary. A tooling database is supplied with the software, which can be edited or added to by the user.

A simulation can be run of the pieces being machined using the chosen tools and the given material block dimensions. Users can compare the results obtained with different tools or machining strategies on the computer, potentially saving time and money. The optimum toolpaths can then be exported to more than 250 different types of routing and engraving machines, using Delcam’s proven range of post-processors.

To supplement the 2D drawing, and 2D and standard 3D machining functions within ArtCAM Express, a range of modules are available to add extra functionality as the user develops his skills and wishes to take on more complex projects.

Web-Based Software Makes Volunteer Management Easy

September 29th, 2011

Volunteer Impact Version 3.0 – the latest version of web-based volunteer management software from Volunteer2 – has recently been released, following a year and a half of design, programming and testing.

Volunteer2 was first introduced into Australia in 2008 through a partnership with well know Australian volunteerism specialists, OzVPM and is now used around Australia.

The aim of the software was to create a system that further enhances the volunteer manager’s capacity to communicate with volunteers, reduce time spent on administrative tasks, and engage volunteers at a higher level, according to Tony Goodrow, President of Volunteer2.

The company behind the software, Volunteer2 has been providing Not for Profit organisations, schools, special events, hospitals and councils with volunteer management databases for more than a decade.

New features that have been added to the volunteer management software – include email templates, activity shift templates, customisable general interests, a general availability section and expanded exporting functionality – and all new additions are based on suggestions from clients that were using Volunteer Impact Version 2.

Goodrow says he doesn’t understand why a lot of software companies seem to close their doors to their clients. He explains that his team catalogues client feedback and revisit it when planning program upgrades – it’s great market research and freely available to them.

He says his company’s understanding of the volunteer sector is evident in the software design.

The Volunteer Impact web based software is design to help organisations:

* Recruit volunteers through their website
* Systematically assess volunteer qualifications for optimum placement
* Communicate easily and personally with any set of volunteers in one department – or across entire organisations
* Access, maintain and update records quickly
* Automate scheduling processes
* Retain more volunteers, improve communications and establish great management processes
* Create professional reports with graphics for improved program measurement
* Reduce the amount of time spent on data entry and routine phone calls

Goodrow says administrative time saved by managers of volunteers can be used instead to recognise and interact personally with volunteers which in turn will build a stronger organisation.

Volunteer Impact is the first volunteer management software built with a variety of cultural settings. This makes the software just as viable in Australia as it in other parts of the world where it is used including the UK, New Zealand, Canada, USA, Singapore and South America. The Australian version has proper Australian date and time formatting, Australian spelling, exporting capable of A4 paper formatting, and locally formatted contact information fields.

How Open Source Development Is Becoming More Social

September 29th, 2011

Most people do not think of software developers as being high on the “social” scale. In fact, the (misinformed) stereotype for a typical developer is that of the introverted geek. But in many ways, particularly with open source developers, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Contributing to open source software is a profoundly social activity. Some of open source’s main tenets are collaboration, transparency and meritocracy, which require developers to collaborate and share at a highly productive level. And with over 500,000 open source projects on the Internet, there’s a lot of collaboration going on. It’s clear that by participating in open source communities, developers are engaging in productive social behavior.

While some people may picture open source developers as working quietly and in isolation, the reality is they may work on large projects with a wide community of collaborators. For example, Linux has nearly 10,000 contributors. Others may focus on small, personal projects, which may or may not draw the attention of the larger development community.

But even developers working on small projects are still working with other people. And virtually all new open source projects derive from those projects and the developers that preceded them, creating a vast body of work that accelerates innovation and fuels further collaboration.

Today’s open source developers are contributing to projects in very different ways than just a few years ago. What has changed?
Search + Social Media = Social Development

Two developments — search and social media — have changed the way coders work to create “social development,” a new style of software collaboration. Let’s look first at social media’s influence on it.

Social media’s impact has forced change (some good and some bad) in nearly every sector of the economy — including open source development. While communities such as Slashdot and Stack Overflow provided an early glimpse of social media’s impact on development in the FOSS community and encouraged developers to become more active within these and other communities, the effect took some time to achieve.

Today, it’s not unusual to see enterprise software developers more active in social media circles, even as enterprises themselves are evolving socially. According to a recent study by Forrester, developers are engaging socially; they’re joining communities to connect with experts, seeking answers to business problems and, like many people, networking for career advancement. The figure above shows the leading reasons developers join communities: to connect with thought leaders, gain expertise and engage in high quality discussions.

Web search has also enhanced the importance of social media among open source developers, affecting this new style of development. My company recently commissioned a study with Forrester to investigate the social habits of developers. As shown above, contributors to open source projects turn to online search first for information about development technologies, followed by social sites like networks, forums and other online communities.

Developers also share search results via open source or project forums, communities and more general social media tools like Twitter.

As a result, today’s “social developer,” even if not an employee of a large enterprise, is participating more than ever with enterprises – or more specifically, with developers in those enterprises who are increasingly involved with FOSS communities of various types.

Social development arms corporate developers with a new toolset for producing innovative and high quality software at enterprise scale faster than ever before. This style of development wasn’t possible just a few years ago before search, social media tools and online collaboration tools made it possible to create software using social development techniques. Nevertheless, the evolution has been crucial to the success of businesses and individual developers.

Another pivotal change is the fact that enterprise IT organizations are now discovering the need to “go social” and join communities as a strategy for leveraging and using more open source software, especially mission-critical components. This significant trend reflects the reality that open source use is becoming a competitive requirement. Even within the firewall of an enterprise, the trend toward collaborative development to share best practices, facilitate code reuse, and enhance developer productivity is escalating rapidly.

Other environmental and technical changes have supported the emergence of social development. Communications between project committers — which until recently were conducted through IRC channels and wikis — have expanded with the increased number of social communities. And today more than ever, FOSS developers are actively seeking enterprise adoption of their code.

Another change is the emergence of sites like Ohloh, a free community resource, which was specifically designed to support and encourage social development and to allow developers to give each other kudos (literally). The figure above also lists the contributors for a project called Restlet, a Java REST framework for web developers. Shown on the page are the developer profiles, kudos and code commitments to the project.

While social development isn’t a challenge for Gen Y developers, it still presents management challenges for enterprises, especially larger ones. Moving at web speed and using social tools still requires some adjustment. For example, new college hires expect to be community participants, yet large enterprises may not be comfortable with this level of transparency. Although open source projects are based on the notion of transparency, collaboration and meritocracy, some corporate policies may prohibit or limit this philosophy, just like some corporate cultures may resist the trend toward openness in development.

Social interaction and social development offer tremendous new opportunities for developers and enterprises. The advent of social media tools has changed the nature of community participation as much as search. If you and your organization have not joined the growing number of “social developers,” now is the time to start.

Turbomeca selects nCode Automation software

September 29th, 2011

Turbomeca, which specializes in the design, production, sale and support of gas power turbine for small and medium helicopters, has selected nCode software – a leading brand of durability, test and analysis products by HBM – to ensure the storage, management, analysis and traceability of thousands of measurement channels of test data.

nCode Automation 7 software is especially suited for applications where large amounts of data are generated, for example, in the aerospace industry from test rigs or flight tests. nCode Automation is a unique engineering software that centralizes, secures, manages and analyzes all the data from a central server. Based on secure web technology, nCode Automation provides direct access to data, analysis and reports to all departments, sites and project partners through a web browser on a computer or mobile device.

The combination of security, data management and analysis on a central server available in nCode Automation was particularly appealing to Turbomeca. nCode Automation has the ability to automatically process thousands of records from multiple data acquisition units with hundreds of measurement channels. It also offers greater security and traceability for data and analysis. “All these reasons led us to choose nCode Automation software” says Jean-Claude Moussion, scientific IT manager from Technical Direction.

Productivity, however, is not the only advantage of using nCode Automation – it also has an intuitive interface that allows for quick software adoption.

Google Buys Land to Build Three Data Centers in Asia

September 28th, 2011

Google has acquired land in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore to build data centers in these three locations, it said Wednesday.

The data centers will be the “first Google proprietary data centers in Asia,” and will be fully owned and operated by the company, said Taj Meadows, the company’s policy communications manager for Asia Pacific.

More people are coming online every day in Asia than in any other part of the world, so locating data centers there is an important next stage of Google’s investment in the region, the company said Local data centers will help the company provide faster and more reliable access to Google’s services, it added.

There is a large surge in Internet use in Asia, particularly for consumer applications, said Jun Fwu Chin, research manager for virtualization and data center at IDC Malaysia.

A number of new data centers are coming up in the region as multinational Internet and hosting companies set up data centers to serve local customers, and also to meet governments regulations in some countries that require data to be handled locally, Chin said.

The costs of setting up data centers in Asia also tend to be lower than in the U.S., he added.

Google already has six data centers in the U.S., with one each in Finland and Belgium, according to its website.

It already has 15 offices and thousands of employees across the Asia-Pacific region.

The company has acquired 2.45 hectares of land in Jurong West, Singapore, and another 15 hectares of land in Changhua County, Taiwan, to build the data centers. It has also acquired 2.7 hectares of land in Kowloon, Hong Kong, for a data center there.

Google expects to invest over US$100 million in each of the facilities in Taiwan and Hong Kong, including the cost of land, construction and technical equipment. It did not specify the size of the investment in Singapore.

Google did not specify when construction would begin at these sites, as it is still working with its local partners and governments to finalize plans. Once construction begins, the facilities could be operational within one to two years, barring major delays, it said.

Google is however facing tough competition from local players in a number of local markets in Asia. In China, for example, it trails Baidu, the largest player, in Internet search.

In Taiwan, Yahoo and Facebook are ahead of Google as the top sites in the country, according to web traffic monitoring service Alexa. The rank is calculated using a combination of average daily visitors and page views over the past month. In Hong Kong, Yahoo and Facebook are again ahead of Google, while it leads in Singapore.

Microsoft Takes Down Yet Another Botnet: ‘Kelihos’

September 28th, 2011

Redmond based software powerhouse Microsoft Corp. has hunted down a third botnet within a span of less than 1 year, by carrying out a co-ordinated attack on both legal, as well as technical fronts, the company announced.

The company’s Digital Crime Unit (DCU) took down a pair of botnets named Rustock and Waledac earlier this year. It not only neutralized the threats exerted by these botnets, but also carried out a legal assault on the bot herders.

Microsoft successfully conveyed its message to the court that the botnets were, indeed, misuses of the company’s services, and also that the associated spam messages were violating its copyright.

Now, the company claims that it has successfully neutralised a new botnet, dubbed Kelihos. The company has termed it as the Waledec 2.0 as the tactics deployed by Kelihos were very similar to those used in the original Waledec.

“Microsoft’s analysis of the Kelihos botnet showed large portions of Kelihos code were shared with Waledac, which suggested that Kelihos was either from the same parties or that the code was obtained, updated and reused,” Richard Domingues Boscovich, senior attorney with the DCU, stated in a post on Microsoft’s security blog.
