 Yes, hello. So my name is Mario. I'm from Berlin and I'm also based in Taipei and this is Christoph from the FEDAR project We have a cooperation with many projects and we're talking about the new desktop environment LXDE Okay, LXDE stands for lightweight X11 desktop environment So, yeah, it's like a caddy or gnome, but LXD is much more lightweight and that's how it looks like And there are different views, so we can pretty much look like standard desktop environments and Yeah, that's what's about. We are much Faster, we use less resources and it's much more lightweight and that's our goal. These are the design principles We have here a table Open office writer for instance with the standard gnome Ubuntu 8.4 with linpo slide Which is based in old FEDAR and with Windows XP Windows XP is a leader in and and slowness, yeah, and LXDE overall, it's a much less resource hungry system Okay, so less resource hungry lighter faster LX can also stand for Linux and Yeah, we think it's especially designed for new generation devices like netbooks or MIDs and Also for old computers, of course They don't have so much resources. It's mainly written in C and was started already 2005 by PC man in Taiwan and I'm now giving the microphone to Christoph he will continue with more technical parts Thank You Mario For example in a FEDAR standard install with base X system installed It's only 4.6 megabyte to install LXDE while it's 22.8 to install XFC and XFC is also to be known to be lightweight So it's optimized for low disk disk space consumption. It's low memory usage It follows a modular approach. This means that every component can be used separately can be easily replaced Removed added whatever you don't need a full-blown desktop So due to its modular approach, we also don't have long dependency chains most packages only require require GTK to and it's support Input methods and accessibility because it's GTK Some people complain about why do you use GTK? But well if we want to support input methods accessibility and so on and multi-lingual Internet internalization. There's no other way than GTK. We think it has everything a desktop needs as the panel with plug-ins The desktop with icons session manager task manager text editor image viewer and an archive manager. So Here we have the components itself. You see the desktop With a main menu you see PC man the file manager with tabs that you can use to Especially on small screens. They are very useful Here you see it in a big large screen This is all but also another version on running on Ubuntu as you can see on the colors Okay, here we have a small features overview. We have thumbnails desktop icons Internet bookmarks GTK bookmarks also. It's multi-lingual Multilingual I notify support is experimental at the moment. It's multi-threaded to Load large direction directory quickly. It can be started in a within one second on a normal machine Yeah, tap browsing. I already mentioned that it says built-in volume management With through how so you can mount unmount eject devices. It has a built-in file search utility Well and a lot of other features that you can see on the other side drag and drop Files can be dragged from one top to the other large directories are processed in reasonable times file association Support according to free desktop or specs thumbnails. We already mentioned that bookmark support It already always can handle a non-UTIF file names correctly and so on So let's see how it looks. This is Alex launch. How you maybe know you may might know something similar from the others EPC launcher Just click Through what it looks like We have the panel with a lot of plugins the manuals as I said according to free desktop specs It's Generated on the fly and we also have a menu caching mission mechanism to make Loading the menu even faster Here you see some of the plugins that can be added to the panel You see it's it's really a lot of plugins and we are working on even more plugins by separating the panel into two separate packages plugins and also the panel itself here. We have the execute command with Fire competition competition. Oh, sorry. That's was too fast here. We have the user interface the appearing setting We have included picture viewer which loads pictures very very fast It's pretty simple, but you can click through the images with the buttons you can Well change the rotation whatever Here we have the task manager. It's also a simple one, but it does everything you need We have a tool to edit and to create application shortcuts on the desktop and then the menu Well and to sum it all up Some components that cannot be shown Alex session is the session manager itself It has support to shut down reboot and suspend the computer with hell and gdm It's a stripped down version of the previous Alex session and Well, it works pretty pretty well and pretty fast. It supports auto start We also have these auto start editor where you can select which applications to start It provides a way to automatically start certain applications We have our terminal inside And here you see elix music our music player with some chinese music, I think We also have elix render. It's our monitor configuration tool We have elix nm. It's a network manager. Um, but still under development elix de is the package that brings everything out together it includes the Default settings the configuration files and the artwork and we have gtk netcat It's a graphic user interface for netcat, of course To sum it all up. It's gtk based So it Fits to the other applications that are running on your gnome Ubuntu and whatever you use and the team also Support the gtk by submitting patches We apply to official iso standards we follow the free desktop wall standards and we follow the Linux standard base file hierarchy standards and of course all rps are open We optimize for flash storage So low eo usage we decrease the number of input output operations and the lifetime of solid state disk is extended by that So this is green it because it works with old hardware. You don't have to replace it It lowers the cpu and drumload and therefore also replace lowers your your power consumption and it It's the batteries. Therefore last longer Adding a new feature is quite easily because everything is modular There are a lot of new components that have been added recently the Well, there are so many ideas Some of them are listed here and there are people working on them to get them included So Yeah, okay. I continue a bit about the community um as I said already lxt was started 2005 by pc man in taiwan and here are some people of the community um, yeah, and Oh, i'm sorry that was different way and yeah Hong yanyi is the name name of pc man. Um, it's the core developer of pc man fire manager A founder of lxt e And he is actually a medical doctor. So that's what open source is about We can get in many different people. Everyone can learn about this here. We have a project like this lxt e andrew lee debian package maintainer for a long time he worked 1998 um on the linux localization project And yeah, they all work together at that time with mainland china with hong kong And yeah, this regard of political problems. And I really like this way of working together over borders pink Also from the project in taiwan He translated several chapters of oradies programming pull three addition into chinese for example, and yeah also works with hardware manufacturers We have some Meetings like a lot of events are going on here for instance With a meeting with ubuntu people and people from canonical and we have Like people at the linux world in san francisco And also local supporters. They are here for instance from ibm glenn johnson Yeah, then lxt hacking event for instance. We had that in shenzhen And yeah, we have support by the open source foundry. It's a chinese academy of Science in taiwan, and they also employ some interns for who only work on alex de here students in beijing And of course also have people in europe Meeting at the sea base. I don't know. Maybe some of you know Some guys here So they support this project here back to asia the gentle package maintainer at yahu He's working in hong kong and we have people at the chinghua University in beijing and pecking Yeah, here the package maintainer of mandriever for alex de He is a musician But he's also packaging alex de Again meeting in shenzhen We also like have packages in suzi. We have packages in most big distributions by now already so you can try out alex de yourself The linux user group in beijing the 850 people already are always here people saying like what's going on in asia? We don't know about this. We never hear actually. There's a lot going on, but they speak chinese And so for us sometimes difficult to get in touch. Yeah, so I invite you we invite you everyone and join this project. It's a really cool project We always said like free and open source is about My code is free people somewhere in the world can take this code and can do something with this And a few weeks later it comes back to me and it's a great application and I can reuse it We said that many times, but we don't have so many projects actually that go to the other part of the world Here we have that a lot of the code comes from Europe and was reused by people in china in taiwan everywhere and they started this project and Yeah, it's a really global community now even though it's still a small community. It's a global community And yeah, we're working together and we invite everyone to to join this project. Here are a few ideas Many people are already engaged in different distributions For instance and join and us and provide for instance packages. You can become a package maintainer You can join the translation project. It's very easy in the wiki. We have different tools different how-to's there implement for instance some support for sessions implement trash and pc man configuration Like a gnome control center or xfce settings. We don't have that yet or create a new theme. Yeah Here Christoph has done that for instance. He he's also happy to help people and yeah, that's how we could support the community We have a website Where you can download lxt try it out. We are on source forge Most people know how to use that already We have a wiki in 18 languages and we have real people Engaging in these languages. We didn't just set up a wiki and say it's 18 languages. We have people really working on that here It's a wiki.lxt.org and we keep people up to date on the Events that are happening on our blog We have a forum. It's uh, yeah increasing very fast. So many people joining Yeah, and a planet where we collect. So if you engage in the lxt team, we will include you here in the planet as well What else design project translation project mailing lists for that? You can yeah, twitter everyone now here twitter web 2o, of course We have that too and you can get in touch directly with developers on the lxt channel in english or chinese and Yeah, we have a foundation That is a non-profit foundation. So It's a whole environment ready for you to join And remember lxt is a desktop environment It's lighter faster less resource hungry. The origin is in taiwan. We're building Or we're engaging with a truly international community here And uh coditing welcome you so um, yeah the future looks bright Thank you very much, okay
