Launchpad is a web-based collaborative tool used to help create Ubuntu and is freely available for the development of Open Source projects. Previously in his career, he has worked on embedded networking hardware for cryptography acceleration, wireless application development, computer graphics and flight simulation. He began using Python over ten years ago and is now excited to be developing exclusively in it. ==== IFI ==== Is the host of the evening. IFI, which stands for “Francophone Institute of Informatics” (http://www.ifi.auf.org), was created by AUF (Association of Francophone Universities) in 1995 following a Vietnamese request to AUF to fund the training of high-level Vietnamese engineers and college professors in Computer Science. IFI is for Vietnam an aid to development and a tool for Vietnamese to acquire and master the latest techniques in information processing and computer communications. For the countries that are funding the project (Belgium-Wallonie, Canada-Quebec, France, French-speaking Switzerland, Luxemburg), IFI is a tool to increase trade with South-Eastern Asian countries which are members of “Francophonie”. IFI also helps with regional cooperation between Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. IFI is a 2-year graduate school, which recruits engineers through a written entrance examination. Students are mostly Vietnamese but a few also come from other countries as well. Students take 3 semesters of courses at IFI and spend a semester doing an industrial or research internship in Europe or Canada. IFI graduates receive the Vietnamese Master’s degree in Computer Science. IFI also has an international research laboratory on the themes of Modelization and Simulation of complex systems (MSI). ==== Canonical ==== Founded in late 2004, Canonical Ltd is a company headquartered in Europe with 130 employees working in over 18 countries. Canonical is the commercial sponsor of Ubuntu project. Canonical mission is to realise the potential of free software in the lives of individuals and organisations by: * delivering the world's best free software platform * ensuring its availability to everyone * supporting it with high quality professional service offerings * facilitating the continued growth and development of the free software community [[http://www.canonical.com/aboutus|more on Canonical]] ==== C3LD ==== The centres for Linux and free softwares for development is an initiative from AUF dating back from 2004. The purpose of the program is to establish such centers among universities, focusing at developing software solutions using free open source softwares. C3LD country centers are part of a more global C3LD network and have three main lines of actions : sensibilization (especially towards the academic community and the FOSS community), training, R&D. ==== Hanoi Linux User Group ==== HanoiLUG is the name chosen by a group of Linux users (or wannabe), living and working in Hanoi. Hanoi LUG meetings, unless stated otherwise, take place at the Campus numérique francophone (or CNF, in short) de l’AUF (Agence universitaire de la Francophonie), Ngo 42 Ta Quang Buu (inside the IFI - Institut de la Francophonie pour l’informatique), Hanoi. [[others:HanoiLug]] stands for “Hanoi Linux user group” i.e. “Users of GNU/Linux living in Hanoi” and in a larger less restrictive view “People using and/or interested in GNU / Linux living in Hanoi”. [[others:HanoiLug]] is an informal group, this means that it is not an official organization. It’s rather what we would call a “network” of people So do not expect any formal membership, elections of secretary etc. Like for free softwares, joining [[others:HanoiLug]] is a free process meaning that you join [[others:HanoiLug]] by subscribing to its mailing-list so that you can get information about various activities set up by members of Hanoi Lug and participate in the discussions of various topics that may interest “members” of Hanoi LUG. An other way to participate with Hanoilug is to contribute ideas, comments through its blog or through its wiki. During the evening discussion the [[others:HanoiLug]] will present 3 sub-project. ==== AUF ==== Agence universitaire de la francophonie - AUF (in English: Association of Francophone Universities) is a global network of French-speaking higher education and research institutions. Founded in Montreal (Canada) in 1961, AUF is a multilateral institution which supports the co-operation and solidarity between the university institutions working in French, firstly with the French-speaking countries of Africa, the Arab World, of Southeast Asia, of Central and Eastern Europe and of the Caribbean. It has 635 members distributed in the countries of the International Organization of La Francophonie. The AUF is present in nearly 70 countries, through its regional offices, its centers of access to information, its campuses numerical or its institutes of formation.
