PROYECTO DE INNOVACION PUBLICA

Proyecto individual (no es en grupo)

Definición: Recopilación individualizada por usuario de cada dependencia de su consumo en impresión y otros materiales fungibles. Dado que cada impresora mantiene los trabajos enviados por cada usuario, semanalmente se les envía vía e-mail un agregado de lo imprimido, junto con su coste para la delegación u organismo (definido por la empresa adjudicataria si así se definió en el pliego o estimado si es por papel y tóner en impresoras propiedad del organismo). A este coste se le puede añadir el gasto en otro material fungible (si se solicita vía Intraweb de la delegación o del organismo). Grupo por grupo se irán discutiendo las posibilidades de adaptación.

Otra opción es abrir un espacio en la Intraweb para un acceso identificado que permita al personal ver sus consumos mensuales. Dependiendo de la carga de trabajo del Dptmto de Informática podría estar en un mes.

Dentro del desarrollo de la funcionalidad hay que generar una documentación en PDF para que los usuarios puedan consultar las funcionalidades. Además, dentro de cada departamento se hará una sesión informativa.

Pasados dos meses se comienza una nueva fase de "gamificación" en la que se dan incentivos individuales o por unidad organizativa.

Objetivo: Ahorro en consumibles y por tanto menos impacto medioambiental.

Riesgos: Necesidad de desarrollos informáticos por parte de Informatica. Reticencias por parte del personal que pueda querer imprimir por impresoras sin este sistema de registro.

Ventajas: Automatización total del sistema de inventario de fungibles, impresión, etc.
Conocer puntas de trabajo, sobrecargas en la impresión (lo cual facilita la planificación económica y de repuestos, etc) y disuadir del exceso de impresión (y de impresión de temas particulares).

LINUX-THERAPY

Quite often we hear about new techniques to relieve stress. As in specific environments you shpould avoid saying that you go to the football on Sunday afternoons to yell "bloody bastard" to the referee and it's not "cool" and "trendy" enough saying you go out with your grandfather to the field to pick mushrooms, have appeared in gyms and "spas" chocolate therapy sessions, wine or flamenco-therapy, for example.

Ricardo Miguel Casilla, whose aunt teaches yoga, reiki and trascendental meditation classes, has thought to kill two birds (angry or not) with a stone: make people send to /dev/null their stress and at the same time contributing to the expansion of free software. Then, titled "Linuxterapia" there is a course open to any retired person affiliate to the Center of Day Activity for The Elders that, through the compilación of the Linux kernel hearing in the background traditional Tibetan chants, assures the complete relaxation of the participants.

Ricardo Miguel, wearing a saffron robe, receives us in a room lit by a salt lamp where we perceived the subtle aroma of incense and hear him giving us details of his technique: "When you make the first 'tar' from the source code you have downloaded, if you take good control of inhalation and exhalation, you note the pace  of your heart slows and your brain begins to emit beta waves. Then you do "make" and see how the command line shows what you are doing and the feeling of entering nirvana grips you to the point that some veteran programmer begins to levitate while pronouncing the sacred mantra 'Om' "

GNU-LINUX: THE OPERA

The next November 19 it will be held in Helsinki the world premiere of "Gnu-Linux: The Opera," which, as its name suggests, is a musical composition in which an action is dramatized. (If any reader knows as little as we do of these issues, we suggest him to visit the following wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera)

In this case the action dramatizes the birth of the Linux operating system in the same city by his countryman Linus Torvalds. Another informal definition of "opera" is "musical form in which the tenor (the principal male singer, usually) wants to bring to his bed the soprano (not a U.S. mafia family, but the main female singer) but the baritone wants to prevent it". This scheme gives an idea about the problems lyricists and arrangers have faced, who have had to include an ethereal appearance by Lady Ada Lovelace  at the end of the work to satisfy the desire for leadership of the star of the company. Regarding  male performers, tenor voices have been reserved for Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman while, this time following the classical scheme of baritone voices assigned to evil and / or powerful characters,  Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer and Steve Jobs will fill the auditorium with deep voices able to scare everyone.

In order to satisfy the huge number of linux users who happen to be also ballet lovers it's also been included a beautiful scene where two dozens of dancing penguins surround a gnu (apparently to satisfy Stallman supporters) while the chords of an orchestral version of the famous free software song sound. It had to be included, no matter what, and here it is:

"64 SHADES OF GEEK"

Anyone who visits the book shop in the nearest mall cannot avoid seeing a counter with three or four dozens of copies of a series of erotic novels whose title reminds, bearing no real relationship, the popular TV show called "Diatomea of Grey" (Actually, to some extent, there is, because the whole story goes about a young couple who want to play doctors and nurses, but with a slight touch of sadomasochism)

Avidly read by a predominantly female audience, these novels that apparently came from a fan-fiction that used the main characters of "Twinlight", tell the story of a girl who follows the game played by that Gray, a young millionaire that the author tells constantly how well smells and how attractive he is. (There is some logic behind that, because no human being would understand that the girl could accept joyfully all the things the boy does to her if he were ugly and bad looking. Having said that, it comes to my mind elections time, when men and women chose people, ugly and bad looking, although well dressed who do them afterwards things that are even worse, but that's another line of thinking completely different of this blog)

Last month, capt4in_h4xtur, an OpenBSD programmer and betatester, found a copy of the first novel in the series that his girlfriend had bought. Quite disciplently, he started reading it and found himself having read the first 300 pages in a weekend The 200 remaining ones were finished before the next Thursday. Shocked by the fact that the main character, filthily rich, gave the girl a MacBook! and after that, in order to dig deeper into disgust gave her not an Android phone with proprietary firmware, but a Blackberry!!, and angry as hell, he decided to write a version of that story able to respect each and every one of the 4 Liberties of Software.

Once finished the book, the author's intention is releasing it as an e-pub (of course without the slightest trace of DRM) under the title of "255 shades of geek". It will honoring and present in a positive way all those altruistic developers who release code thinking in the common good and not just in taking to the bed a silly girl. Reservations of abook, electronic or in celullose, have exceeded the wildest expectations.

GNUDE-LINUX, THE NUDIST CAMPINGS MANAGEMENT DISTRO

The Ampurdanic Nudist Campings Association has left for downloading via FTP the distro Gnude Linux, oriented to the management of such establishments. Based on the already venerable Danish distribution Skagen - X, which used Gnome as window manager and included a template to be used with the spreadsheet program Gnumeric containing a minimal form to score guests, Gnude Linux has followed the highest standards in the development of nudist applications that sets N² (Nudist Network)

This association gathers programmers who focus their work in customers related to nudism and try to meet their demands. Since the nineties, when Helga Kasgessen, owner of a nudist laundry in Roskilde (Denmark) required that the software that was being developed for her for noting and invoicing  to be run in a MS-DOS computer should be programmed too by naked people, a lot of standards has been created in this field.

In order for an application to meet the standard N² - 1, the most basic one, it has to be developed by a person (or a group of persons) wearing underwear as much. In this sense the consideration of bras as underwear has provoked bitter controversies, and in similar way, the possibility that the application could be tested by an outer company with employees wearing clothes raised angry comments about  the bug hunting as a part or not of the software development cycle. Both controversies ended at the International Congress of Nudist Informatics held in Tulku (Finland) in 2003 with the banishment of bras and non-nudists external companies (unlike with the requirement that the software requirement analysis phase was completed too with no clothes, a decision that has been very contested and considered to be imposed by the heavyweights of the nudist software industry, who want to be able to send clothed consultants to customer companies)

The standard N² - 2, more radical, denies the possibility of any clother during the whole software development process, although the version N² - 2-B allows wearing socks (but not stockings or panties) Its final breakthrough, N² - 2 even prohibits setting one's feet on a carpet. Some alternative versions included the requirement, in a challenge to the repression carried out by the patriarchal society on sexuality, of not using  hands to programme, but genitals, but many nudist Windows programmers refused accomplying it because of the impossibility of pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del only with genitals.

Gnude-Linux, although has probably been developed in a 98% by dressed programmers (it's estimated that only 2,35% of the Gnu-Linux code has been written by naked people and just about 6,23% of it with genitals) has been rebuilt from scratch by diplomate engineers who did not wear a gram of cloth on their bodies (one wore glasses, another one lenses and a third  one brackets, which is not considered cloth even in the most Taliban groups of nudism) and even did it stepping on a Terrazzo floor just in a case a purist blogger wrote that stepping on a parquet floor contravenes the spirit of nudist Informatics.
