Hi, folks!</span></p>
<p><span lang="en"><br />
Last week I was porting a program from uClibc to glibc. Everything went fine, until I found a crash to always happen in a certain part of it. The failure was in a call to the free() function. First thing that came in my head: Why the hell is it crashing now, while it used to run fine on uClibc? I made a simple program that simulates the problem:<br />
</span></p>


<pre class="prettyprint linenums:1">#include &#60;stdio.h&#62;
#include &#60;stdlib.h&#62;

typedef struct {
  char *field1;
} s_test;

s_test test = {
  .field1 = NULL
};

int main (int argc, char **argv) {
  s_test *t;

  t = &#38;test;
  free (t);
  t = &#38;test;
  t-&#62;field1 = "bug";
  printf ("%sn", t-&#62;field1);

  return 0;
}</pre>
<p><span lang="en"><br />
Look at line 16. I&#8217;m executing a free() in a pointer to a static variable, instead of a pointer in the heap (previously allocated with malloc() or similar). It&#8217;s expected a crash here, right? Maybe! Yes, if you&#8217;re using glibc. No if you&#8217;re using uClibc. The above code works like [not] expected. Weird! Everything we learned at the programming school is ruined now <img src='http://www.bani.com.br/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  !</span><br />
<span lang="en"><br />
So, we have a similar code here that have been worked for a long time, exactly because it was compiled and run on top of uClibc. I&#8217;ve seen this and other behavior differences between uClibc and glibc. The solution? Change the code to make it portable, not only to make it compile, but also so that it have the same behavior on every platform.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en"><br />
I thought it was a bug in uClibc, but I was told it doesn&#8217;t break the standards. In fact, standards say, in that case, the behavior is &#8220;undefined&#8221;. Ah, standards <img src='http://www.bani.com.br/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  &#8230; So, in order to avoid surprises like that, here is what I learned: Always code in the right way, even if it comes with a harder job. Don&#8217;t say: &#8220;hey, it&#8217;s working, let&#8217;s deploy it!&#8221;.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en"><br />
See you!</span></p>

Hi, folks!</span></p>
<p><span lang="en"><br />
This is a small post, just to share the news with you: I moved to São Paulo (the biggest Brazilian city) to work with what I like the most: linux development! It&#8217;s indeed a big step in my career, I&#8217;m too excited about my new job: embedded linux developer!</span></p>
<p><span lang="en"><br />
I hope to learn a lot in this new job, and, at the right time, I want to contribute back to FLOSS community, since we use a lot of free software here.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en"><br />
See you!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Este post é direcionado a programadores. Repasse-o pra todos os programadores que você conhece. O software livre agradece!</strong></p>
<p>Oi gente, esse é um assunto que sempre menciono nos eventos que vou, e que me incomoda bastante. Por estes dias tava com vontade de fazer um post simples e prático sobre o assunto. Felizmente aconteceram 3 coisas que me motivaram a escrevê-lo:</p>
<ol>
<li>Depois de ter aberto um bug no ano passado, ainda sem solução, resolvi escrever um pequeno patch que foi aceito, com modificações;</li>
<li>Li isso: <a href="http://www.dicas-l.com.br/arquivo/yad_yet_another_dialog.php">http://www.dicas-l.com.br/arquivo/yad_yet_another_dialog.php</a>;</li>
<li>Jomar escreveu um ótimo artigo exatamente sobre esse tema: <a href="http://www.trezentos.blog.br/?p=5907">http://www.trezentos.blog.br/?p=5907</a></li>
</ol>
<p>Por que as pessoas se referem ao software livre sempre na terceira pessoa: &#8220;Eles&#8221;? É comum a gente ouvir:</p>
<blockquote><p>- Quando o software X implementar a feature Y eu migro.<br />
- Software X? Ah, ele tem muitos bugs, prefiro esperar ficar redondo.<br />
- Não gostei da versão nova do software X. Vou ficar na atual ou testar uma alternativa.<br />
- O pessoal do projeto X é devagar demais.</p></blockquote>
<p>Gente, quando é que vai cair a ficha que o software é livre e que nós podemos mudá-lo? Vocês já pararam pra pensar que podem tornar o software X um software melhor? Não tô entrando aqui no mérito da liberdade de escolha, você é livre pra usar o software que quiser. O recado aqui é para <strong>programadores</strong>, que querem ao mesmo tempo ganhar experiência e contribuir para um mundo melhor.</p>
<p>Contribuir com código não é um bicho de 7 cabeças. Software é software em todo lugar do mundo, e software livre é a melhor forma de espalhar e receber conhecimento. Vejam aqui um exemplo muito simples, porém prático de como você pode fazer a coisa acontecer, ao invés de simplesmente esperar &#8220;eles&#8221; resolverem o bug (explicação do item 1 lá de cima):</p>
<ul>
<li>Ano: 2008. Senti a falta de um conversor de moedas no GNOME. Reportei meu desejo no bugzilla: <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=533690">https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=533690</a>. Pouco mais de 1 ano depois esse recurso foi implementado.</li>
<li>Ano: 2010. Usando o recurso acima, senti a falta de um botão pra trocar de moedas. Da mesma forma, reportei meu desejo: <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633193">https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633193</a>.</li>
<li>Ano: 2011. 7 meses depois, usando muito o recurso e sentindo realmente falta do tal botão, resolvi dar uma olhada no fonte e ver se seria fácil sua implementação. E foi. Submeti um patch, que no mesmo dia foi aceito, com algumas modificações feitas pelo mantenedor. Na próxima versão, a calculadora do GNOME virá com esse recurso.</li>
</ul>
<p>O que quero mostrar com isso? Que o software livre basicamente é movido por empresas e voluntários. Se uma empresa não tem interesse em determinado recurso (a ponto de alocar um funcionário para implementá-lo), o recurso tem que ser implementado por algum voluntário. Então, ao invés de ficar dizendo &#8220;Eles não ligam pra minha opinião, reportei o bug há mais de um ano e nada até agora&#8230;&#8221;, simplesmente tente resolver você mesmo! Algumas considerações:</p>
<ul>
<li>Mesmo que o seu patch não esteja correto, não tenha medo de enviá-lo. Dependendo do grau de complexidade, o desenvolvedor pode sugerir algumas modificações, explicar porque tá errado, onde tá errado e tal e pedir pra você corrigir e reenviar&#8230; ou ele pode simplesmente modificar e seu patch e aplicá-lo diretamente (foi o que aconteceu comigo acima).</li>
<li>Há sempre a possibilidade de entrar em contato direto com o desenvolvedor/mantenedor, via email, irc, jabber, etc. Assim, você pode tirar dúvidas, pedir um direcionamento, e coisas do tipo, antes de efetivamente enviar seu patch para avaliação.</li>
</ul>
<p>Quanto ao item 2 lá em cima, até mencionei minha &#8220;indignação&#8221; nos microblogs, e algumas pessoas me perguntaram o por quê. Deixa eu explicar: Minha indignação, neste caso, não é com a pessoa do Júlio. Não quero nem discutir isso. É que tô cansado de ver empresas e pessoas que ganham a vida com software livre, seja usando em seu trabalho, seja escrevendo livros, seja dando aulas, enfim, você captou a ideia, e que são aptas a escrever (ou pagar alguém que escreva) código livre mas não o fazem. Neste caso específico, o Júlio citou no post:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Sempre esperei que a qualquer momento o <em>gnome</em> lançaria uma nova versão deste software [...] Estava enganado, acompanhei o lançamento de diversas revisões do software mas elas simplesmente tratavam <em>bugs</em> e apresentação. Infelizmente nada de inovação. Porém um dia descobri o <em>YAD</em>.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Veja que o gnome está sendo tratado na terceira pessoa. &#8220;Eles&#8221;. Segue o mesmo raciocínio que usei acima. Tanto para o Júlio como para os criadores do YAD. Se o zenity não tava atendendo as expectativas, por que não ajuda-lo? Por que não implementar os recursos tão desejados?</p>
<p>Quanto ao item 3 lá de cima, não tenho muito o que falar. Leiam o texto do Jomar, é muito bom!</p>
<p>Enfim, esse &#8220;desabafo&#8221; é uma forma de mostrar pra vocês que o software livre é nosso! Vamos colaborar mais (com código). Afinal de contas, já recebemos tanto, de tantos desenvolvedores espalhados pelo mundo, o que custa doar um pouco do nosso tempo e conhecimento como uma forma de retribuição?</p>
<p>Então, esse lance de falar na terceira pessoa (&#8220;eles&#8221;, &#8220;o gnome&#8221;, &#8220;o pessoal do kde&#8221;, etc), deixa para os leigos, meros usuários de software. Na próxima vez que for criticar algum software livre, tome ele para si e pense em uma forma de ajudar, beleza? <img src='http://www.bani.com.br/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p><span lang="en">Hello folks. It&#8217;s a pleasure to announce the 7th edition of the <strong>Brazilian GNOME Forum</strong>, that part of the year where we put together <em>GNOMErs</em> from all parts of Brazil to have fun!</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">This year the Forum will take place in Natal, a greatest city in Northeast Brazil, as part of the main event, <a href="http://ensl.org.br/2010/">ENSL &#8211; Northeast Free Software Conference</a>, on <strong>5 and 6th November</strong>.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">This edition, besides the usual Brazilians, will have the  presence of <a href="http://live.gnome.org/FredericPeters"><strong>Frédéric Peters</strong></a>, a great hacker of the Release Team! Also, we will have the annual Brazilian meeting, where we, the Brazilian team discuss our activities, our community and our goals.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">GNOME 3, the next version of GNOME will be widely discussed there. We will be discussing its news as well showing how to contribute in practice with its development.<br />

Also, I do translations and I spread GNOME in my country.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en"><strong>2) How did you get into GNOME?</strong></span></p>
<p><span lang="en">After some time using GNOME, and having developer skills, I wrote a patch, back in 2006, that fixed a bug in vino, the GNOME VNC server. Atfer that patch get committed, I went ahead writing others and others patches, until I got the maintainer hat for vino. After realizing how easy was to contribute to GNOME, I always give talks about that, inviting people to not be afraid of submitting patches to GNOME <img src='http://www.bani.com.br/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>
<p><span lang="en"><strong>3) Why are you coming to GUADEC?</strong></span></p>
<p><span lang="en">I&#8217;ll give a joint talk with Emily Chen about GNOME communities in Brazil and Asia. What&#8217;s the state of GNOME in our countries and what we are doing to increase our community.<br />
I&#8217;ll be showing a little use case in <a href="http://stormyscorner.com/2010/06/share-how-you-got-something-done-in-gnome.html">Stormy&#8217;s GTD in GNOME</a> ﻿lightning talks.<br />
Also I&#8217;ll be hosting a <a href="http://live.gnome.org/GUADEC/2010/BOFs/RemoteAccess">BoF about the state of Remote Desktop stack in GNOME</a>. It&#8217;s a great opportunity for us to share our ideas about the ongoing development of vino/vinagre. Also, we lack people taking care of this area in GNOME, so, if you are interested in contribute to GNOME, come up!<br />
Of course, I&#8217;m looking forward to meet the amazing GNOME folks again and <a href="http://live.gnome.org/GUADEC/2010/FreeFA">play some game&#8230;</a></span></p>
<p><span lang="en"><strong>4) In 1 sentence, describe what your most favorite recent GNOME project  has been. (Doesn&#8217;t have to be yours!)</strong></span></p>
<p><span lang="en">The whole GObject introspection work.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en"><strong>5) Will this be your first time visiting the Netherlands?</strong></span></p>
<p><span lang="en">Yes, I&#8217;m looking forward to be there!</span></p>

<p><span lang="en">You might have heard about the use of Javascript in desktop programming, specially with gnome-shell becoming part of GNOME 3. I just discovered the beauty of coding in Javascript, I&#8217;m fascinated!</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">This post is to announce <strong>the creation of the <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/javascript-list">javascript mailing list</a> in GNOME servers</strong>, to let us discuss javascript usage in GNOME, development in javascript with its bidings: gtk+, glib, etc.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">So, if you, like me, enjoy coding in javascript, or are still giving the first steps into this new technology in GNOME, go <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/javascript-list">subscribe to this mailing list</a>! Also, if you already have knowledge in this language, join the list and help us with our doubts!</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">Thanks to Johan Dahlin for accepting being the mailing list administrator <img src='http://www.bani.com.br/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>

<p><span lang="en">Hi, folks. Last week I was in João Pessoa, Brazil, attending 4º ENSOL (stands for Free Software Northeast Meeting). GNOME Brazil was represented there by having three talks and a kind of booth, where we meet, discuss and have fun!</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">I gave a talk about the GNOME and the GNOME Foundation. It was great to see the room full, and we had many questions, though some of them related to the eternal &#8220;fight&#8221; GNOME x KDE and about GNOME copying MAC OS <img src='http://www.bani.com.br/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span lang="en">Hey, folks.</span></p>

<p><span lang="en">I forgot to blog about it, last week we had <a title="FLISOL Website - in Spanish" href="http://flisol.net">FLISOL</a> &#8211; stands for Latin American Free Software Installation Festival. It&#8217;s a global (okay, a Latin American) day where people can bring their computers to some place and get FLOSS installed on them. Also, there are talks about FLOSS. It happens simultaneously on many cities in the continent.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-398" title="FLISOL Banner" src="http://www.bani.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/flisol_moin_banner.png" alt="FLISOL Banner" width="600" height="90" /></p>

Of course, I talked about the GNOME project, what it is (yes, many people do not know about GNOME, only know about Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux, OpenOffice, etc.), how it is organized and how funny is to be part of the project!</span></p>
