OpenXC is combination of open source hardware and software that lets you extend your vehicle with custom applications and pluggable modules. It uses standard, well-known tools to open up a wealth of data from the vehicle to developers.

XiVO is an application developed by the Avencall Group, based on several free existant components including Asterisk, and our own development to provide the way to an enterprise to replace or add a telephony service (PABX).

XiVO is free software. Most of its distinctive components, and XiVO as a whole, are distributed under the GPLv3 license. We are also working on a fully Open XiVO Hardware.

An Android client is also available, and XiVO remote administration for testing is available too.

En discutant avec un collègue adepte de bicyclette je me suis rendu compte que cette ressource fantastique qu'est OpenCycleMap.org est vraiment méconnue!

Ces cartes utilisent les données d'OpenStreetMap, qui elles mêmes sont alimentées par des banques de données gouvernementales, par la communauté, et bien d'autres sources. Les données sont souvent plus précises que sur Google Maps mais surtout, elles sont libres de réutilisation.

Bonne route!

LibreOffice security advisories

Starting tomorrow I will be in Boston for the annual conference of the Free Software Foundation, “LibrePlanet 2012“. We’ll be four people from Quebec (actually 5, just got last minute confirmation of another former colleague!), wanting to learn about what has been been brewing abroad and also wanting to share about our experiences here in Quebec.
