If yes, then the term „IRC Bouncer“ might be familiar to you. It keeps „you“ online 24/7 in the channel, although your device at home is offline. During this time, your slot in the channel is reserved by your bouncer.

And the third thing you should know that forgetting a good friend’s birthday really su... well, it’s no good style. This almost happened to me some days ago because I couldn’t check it on my Notebook with Thunderbird. My setup looks like this: All contacts (with birthday tags) in ownCloud, and these CardDAV address books are synced with my Android phone and Thunderbird/[SOGo-Connector](http://www.sogo.nu/downloads/frontends.html) on my notebook, as well as the CalDAV calendars with [Lightning](https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/addon/lightning/).

For Android there are [several free software apps](https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=birthday&fdid=org.birthdayadapter) which enable the inclusion of birthdays from your contacts into any calendar app. Some calendar apps even can do it theirselves. But for Thunderbird there are only some outdated add-ons. All of them don’t work with TB31 anymore and if you modify the `install.rdf`-file to make them run anyhow, they’re very buggy or just nonfunctional. And if you look in your ownCloud instance (where contacts‘ birthdays are visible in the calendar tab) for a downloadable/syncable calendar you’ll reach the same conclusion like me: There is none.

"*It’s Valentine’s day and you’re writing a blog post? Are you nuts?*" you might ask. Well, but it’s not only Valentine’s day but also [I love Free Software][1] day.

As [last year with ZNC][2], I want to say thank you to a specific project which easies my daily life. As you might know by other blog posts here, organisation of tasks, mails and almost everything else is a very important issue for me. So this year I want to write some lines about [Taskwarrior][3], taskd and [Mirakel][4] which enable me to take some free time without thinking of task which I could possibly forget to accomplish later on.
|
||||
|
||||
My head is full of ideas and mental To-Do lists and so I’m in need of a handy tool which allows me to write down and organise items at any place and time: At my desk, in bus or train, when I’m offline or abroad. And its important that I don’t have (analog and digital) bits of paper everywhere, so I need a **system that syncs all task inputs and outputs**. I tried a lot of tools but Taskwarrior was the best so far. It used the well-known „Getting Things Done“ concept with different priorities. Taskwarrior also supports tagging tasks, organising them in projects, due dates, postponing, making tasks dependend on others and much more. And Taskwarrior has a (modifiable) **algorhythm that sorts your tasks by urgency levels**, so that the most important tasks always are on the top of the list. Even now I just took a glance at what Taskwarrior is able to do!

The whole story began with something we all had to read sometimes, at least subconsciously, on a website providing PDF documents: „To open the PDF files please download Adobe Acrobat Reader.“. Such notices are unnecessary advertisement for a proprietary (non-free) product — there are dozens of software applications which can do the same or even more, many of them Free Software. Because of that the FSFE started a campaign called „[PDFreaders][2]“ to make this deficiency public, and contact administrations and companies with thousands of letters and emails.
|
||||
|
||||
One big success of this campaign in Germany is PDFreaders being mentioned in the official current [Migration Guide][3] of Germany’s Chief Information Officer. This document explains some critical points of IT in administrations and companies and evaluates different software. Under point 4.3.7 „PDF readers and authoring“ the guide compares different PDF applications and also takes Free Software readers like Evince into account:

Kein Trend war vor mir sicher.

Konkret wird in Dortmund aktuell an dem Masterplan Digitales Dortmund gearbeitet, der „die zukünftige digitale Ausrichtung und die damit verbundenen Veränderungsprozesse an der Schnittstelle von Stadtverwaltung und Stadtgesellschaft (Bürgerinnen und Bürger, Politik, Vereine, Unternehmen, Wissenschaft)“ beinhaltet.

Wir als FSFE verstehen [Open Source als Synonym für Freie Software][2], aber mussten leider schon in der Vergangenheit öfter feststellen, dass damit nur die Verfügbarkeit des Quellcodes und nicht – wie bei Freier Software offensichtlicher – auch die anderen drei der insgesamt [vier Freiheiten Freier Software][3] gemeint waren: Neben der Freiheit, die Funktionsweise anhand des Codes nachzuvollziehen (2), auch die Verwendung für jeden Zweck (1), das Teilen der Software mit anderen (3), und das Verbessern der Programme (4).

Those who create, edit, and translate [FSFE websites][2] already know that the source files are XHTML files which are build with a XSLT processor, including a lot of custom stuff. One of the huge advantages from that is that we don’t have to rely on dynamic website processors and databases, on the other hand there are a few drawbacks as well: websites need a few minutes to be generated by the central build system, and it’s quite easy to mess up with the XML syntax. Now if an editor wants to create or edit a page, she needs to wait a few minutes until the build system has finished everytime she wants to test how the website looks like. So in this guide I will show how to build single websites on your own computer in a fraction of the FSFE’s system build time, so you’ll only need to commit your changes as soon as the file looks as you want it. All you need is a bit hard disk space and around one hour time to set up everything.
