"We will place all indicators at the top right of the screen. We'll place them in a particular order, too, with the 'most fundamental' indicator, which controls the overall session, in the top right. The order will not be random, but predictable between sessions and screen sizes. There will be no GUI support for users to reorder the indicators." The current plan is to do (and ship) the work, then try to get GNOME and KDE to accept it. -- Wednesday's security updates by corbet on 2010-04-21T16:55:01+00:00 URL: http://lwn.net/Articles/384250/rss CentOS has updated wireshark (C3, C4: multiple vulnerabilities).

-- Workshop: The Twelve Keys to Successful Grant Writing by Anselmo Lastra (noreply@blogger.com) on 2010-03-25T12:06:16.333-07:00 URL: http://www.cs.unc.edu/~lastra/Student/Announce/2010/03/workshop-twelve-keys-to-successful.html Dr. Robert Lowman, Associate Vice Chancellor for Research, will be conducting a workshop that presents twelve key concepts related to success in grant writing. Designed for the grant writer with limited experience, this workshop starts from the premise that nothing succeeds like a good idea. But there are other important ingredients of success, from assembling a winning team to achieving a strong match between the idea and a potential sponsor. The workshop stresses the importance of planning, and presents the sponsor as a potential ally, not an adversary. This event is appropriate for faculty members and post-doctoral fellows in any discipline. Space is limited. Registration is required. If you have questions regarding the workshop, please contact Jennifer Pruitt 962-7757 (jennifer_pruitt@unc.edu) for more details.
