| Net: VOICE Newsletter: Associate Editor wanted |
2007-05-20
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Christian Hennecke
The VOICE Newsletter is looking for a new Associate Editor.
Over the last year, vocational and personal issues have reduced the time
that our Editor-in-Chief could donate
to the VOICE Newsletter to a considerable extent several times. The rest of
the editorial staff has already
been short on spare-time for a longer while. Since contact with authors and
the first preparation of articles has
almost exclusively been handled by him and nobody else is able to build the
final issue, issues have been
delayed -- in case of the latest issue by two months. This situation needs
to be improved.
We are looking for a new Associate Editor who can help with the
communication with authors, preparation of
articles, and coordination of the team on a regular basis, and who builds
an issue in case the Editor-in-Chief is
not available.
The requirements for the position are as follows:
* Persistence: We need a commitment to the job for a longer period. There
is no use in training someone
who's going to leave again two months later.
* Reliability: We rely on you getting your work done, and done correctly,
before certain deadlines. Of course,
there always is the possibility of things getting in the way--in such cases
tell us about it in a timely manner.
* Grammar and spelling knowledge: As many articles aren't written by native
speakers, proof-reading and
editing is required.
* XHTML/CSS skills: Knowledge of which tags there are and what a CSS class
is appropriate.
* Basic OS/2 and REXX knowledge: You should be able to run programs via the
command line and adapt
existing REXX scripts to your system.
The job consists of:
* Encouraging people to write articles if, e.g., you see interesting
messages in OS/2 resources.
* Review of submitted articles, communication with authors regarding
content, phrasing, and bylines.
* Formatting articles according to our author guidelines.
* Possibly giving advise to the translation team, e.g., regarding idioms
and jargon.
* Building the final version of the VOICE Newsletter issue if other editors
are not available. Compared to former
times, the build process has been largely automated and become a lot
easier. We would like to switch to
using a CMS but due to time constraints that is not an option at the moment.
If you are interested, please contact us at editorDESPAM@DESPAMos2voice.org.

2007-05-23
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Mark Dodel
I just noticed that on ecomstation.ru that the ACPI Manager, a GUI/console
utility for testing ACPI has been updated a couple weeks ago.
"ACPI (short for "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface") is a
standard that defines power and configuration management interfaces
between an operating system and Hardware. It is meant to supersede
the older APM standard (for power management) and provide a generic
interface for recognition and configuration of hardware devices."
The ACPI drivers are part of eComStation 2.0 and are available on the
eComStation BetaZone for those with a Software Subscription Services
subscription.
ACPI Tools homepage -- http://ecomstation.ru/acpitools
Send bug-reports to: supportDESPAM@DESPAMecomstation.ru
http://en.ecomstation.ru/projects/acpitools/?action=down
ACPI Manager -- Interface to ACPI Virtual Machine (20070312)
Note that this utility gives a warning:
"Attention: ACPI Manager was designed for computer specialists only.
Unskilled usage of ACPI Manager may cause malfunction of your computer."
Whatsnew:
20070312
* Compatible with ACPI 2.18
