OpenSSO Quality Assurance

Superpatterns — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 02:52:08 +0800

The other day, I blogged about Openings in the OpenSSO QA Team, under Indira Thangasamy. Well, this week it's Indira's turn in the spotlight over at the Sun Developer Network Identity pages - talking with Marina Sum about Quality Assurance on OpenSSO. Indira talks about how we are automating QA on OpenSSO and building quality into the software right through the development process. It's a fascinating look at an oft-neglected area of software development, so make yourself a cup of tea, settle down to read it then apply for one of the openings on Indira's team.

Since I encouraged Susan to create a blog, and she actually went ahead and did it, I'm happy to be able to link to her... Susan McLucas is a tech writer looking for work. She has worked for companies ranging from startups to giants like Intel and Cisco - in fact, Cisco acquired the last startup she worked for, so she has experience of the acquisition process too.

As I mentioned in my recommendation on her LinkedIn profile:

I know Susan socially, rather than through her work, but I can attest that she is articulate and professional with a keen eye for detail. If we had any openings in my group here at Sun, I'd definitely hire her.

So, there you go, if you're looking for a tech writer, contact Susan through her LinkedIn profile or leave a comment on her blog. And tell her I sent you

Вчера вечером Doug Beaver, член Facebook Engineering Team, сообщил что Facebook преодолел рубеж в 10 миллиардов хранимых фото. Учитывая что каждое изображение хранится в 4 размерах, - это равнозначно 40 миллиардам файлов. Для сравнения, по последним данным, на серверах Photobucket, принадлежащий News Corp., хранится более 6.2 миллиарда фотографий, а Yahoo-шном Flickr, по прошлогодним данным - около 2 [...]

Adobe releases a buggy flash plugin once again

Cedric Champeau's Weblog — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 22:38:37 +0800

Cedric Champeau's Weblog

Today more than ever, I'm really angry about Adobe. They have just released a brand new Flash 10 plugin with a very annoying bug which is there for months : Adobe hates Linux users, especially non-US users. Would anyone tolerate that a Windows user can't write text in its favorite editor ? No, because if you're not able to input text, you are not able to do anything with your computer. It's just what's happening with this Linux release once again : special characters (unicode) like accents, @, {, ... can't be entered.

The bug has been reported in early April this year AND IT'S STILL NOT FIXED ! Furthermore, no one at Adobe deigns to answer. Adobe ignores 39 votes, placed 10th most voted in the bug tracker. You'll also notice that the most voted is another Linux issue.

It's really a pity that Adobe does not wish to take Linux users seriously. It just makes impossible to release Flex based applications for customers which use Linux. More, it makes our work harder since, like me, many developers develop on this platform.
