Reducing HTTP latency with SPDY
,----[ Quote ]
| Google unveiled an experimental open source
| project in early November aimed at reducing
| web site load times. SPDY, as it is called,
| is a modification to HTTP designed to
| target specific, real-world latency issues
| without altering GET, POST, or any other
| request semantics, and without requiring
| changes to page content or network
| infrastructure. It does this by
| implementing request prioritization, stream
| multiplexing, and header compression.
| Results from tests on a SPDY-enabled Chrome
| and a SPDY web server show a reduction in
| load times of up to 60%.

The Apertium Project's First Google Summer of Code
,----[ Quote ]
| The Apertium Project works on open-source
| machine translation and language
| technology. We try to focus our efforts on
| lesser-resourced and marginalized
| languages, but also work with larger
| languages. To date, we have released
| translators for 21 language pairs, covering
| languages spoken by 1.1 billion people,
| ranging from English (est. 500m speakers)
| to Aranese (est. 4,000 speakers). A similar
| number of additional language pairs are in
| development. The Apertium software is
| licensed under the GPL, but in addition (a
| rarer situation in the machine translation
| field) so is the data for all these
| language pairs. This means that the data
| can be re-used by other language projects
| (e.g. in developing spelling or grammar
| checkers, thesauri, etc).

Google Eliminates Gizmo5 Client For Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| "Evidence on the Gizmo5 forum (login
| required) confirms that since Google's
| takeover of Gizmo5, only the Windows, Mac,
| and iPhone clients are available for
| download from the official Web page. The
| Linux download link no longer works. This
| is a potential problem for happy Linux
| users with paid-up credit in their Gizmo5
| accounts if they need to reinstall the
| software. A back-door download is still
| available, although it is speculated on the
| forums that it will go away soon. Does this
| mean that (as with other Google projects
| such as Google Talk) Linux will be the poor
| relation for Google Voice also?"

Behind the Scenes With a Google Summer of Code Student
,----[ Quote ]
| The dust has settled and all of the Google Summer of Code 2009
| (GSoC) students are getting back into the swing of school and
| jobs, but the experience they gained from participating in the
| project will last a lifetime. It's a great opportunity for
| aspiring developers to pair up with a mentor in the community
| to help them learn the ropes and understand what FOSS
| development is all about.

What I Did On My Summer Holiday
,----[ Quote ]
| Google Summer of Code has again been a huge success for KDE
| this year. 37 out of 38 projects were finished
| successfully. Much of the work done during these projects
| is already merged into trunk and will be available for the
| users with the KDE 4.4 release in January 2010. Thanks to
| all students and mentors for their great work! Below you
| will find a short interview with each of the students,
| asking them about the cool things they have been working on
| for the past few months.
