GlassFish Gem 0.9.0 can be used to run Rails and Merb applications. Support another Rack-based framework Sinatra is coming up in the near future. This blog shows how to create a scaffold in Merb and run it using the GlassFish gem. Merb allows pluggable ORM and comes with DataMapper as the default one.

My colleague, Adriana Menezes-Whiteley, has just returned from Brazil, and has kindly contributed this report on the current state-of-play of the country’s DTT platform, which launched last December. Somewhat bizzarely, it’s based on a Brazil-specific version of the Japanese ISDB-T standard called SBTVD - in fact, Brazil is the only territory outside Japan to have actually implemented a version of the Japanese standard, although other countries are experimenting with it.

Parece ser que una de las primeras medidas que tomará Barack Obama si alcanza la casa blanca es estandarizar la suite ofimática libre en toda la administración federal. Según se cita en el artículo para Obama, Openoffice es una suite ofimática libre, robusta, fiable y adecuada en el 99% de los casos a las necesidades del gobierno americano.
