O Estado da Matemática no Acesso Aberto

Published on October 22, 2014.

Nessa semana, 20-26 de Outubro de 2014, ocorre a Open Access Week (veja o anúncio) e termina com o Mozilla Festival que possui uma ótima trilha de ciência. Este post possui alguns pensamentos sobre matemática, acesso aberto e esses dois eventos.

Acesso Aberto e Matemática

Da Budapest Open Access Initiative temos

"By "open access" to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited."

GitWeb

Published on October 20, 2014.

GitWeb é o “servidor” padrão para o Git. Neste post você encontra como configurá-lo na sua máquina (porque eu sempre tive dificuldade em fazê-lo).

Instalação

Você precisa instalar:

• servidor http (iremos utilizar o Nginx)
• git e git-daemon
• gitweb
• fcgiwrap e spawn-fcgi

No Debian:

# apt-get install nginx git git-daemon-run gitweb fcgiwrap spawn-fcgi

No ArchLinux:

# pacman -S nginx git fcgiwrap spawn-fcgi
# yaourt -S gitweb

Configuração do Git Daemon

O objetivo do Git Daemon é permitir que pessoas clonem seus repositórios utilizando:

MathML on ereaders

Published on October 13, 2014.

Ereaders are the best gadget to read because of their e-ink screen. Most of the ereaders available in the market support EPUB, a open standard for digital books. The last release of EPUB specification says for mathematical equations must be used MathML.

Unfortunately, none of ereaders available at the market support MathML. (If you know one please let me know, you can contact me by email.)

Gramado

Published on October 12, 2014.

Esse post é minha opinião sobre o turismo em Gramado. Espero que goste das fotos.

Resumo

Gramado é uma cidade muito pequena que oferece um número pequeno de atrações. Em dois dias você visita todos os pontos turísticos da cidade. Recomendo ir acompanhado para aproveitar a "gastronomia" da cidade: sopas, fundi e chocolates.

Mathml October Meeting

Published on October 10, 2014.

This is a report about the Mozilla MathML October Meeting (see the announce). The topics of the meeting can be found in this PAD (local copy of the PAD <pad.txt>). This meeting happens all at appear.in and because of that we don't have a log.

The next meeting will be in November 14th (note that November 14th is Friday). Some countries will move to winter time and others to summer time so we will change the time and announce it later on mozilla.dev.tech.mathml. Please add topics in the PAD.
