Within the next 12 years, 40 percent of IT jobs will be related to open source, and open source-based cloud computing will be solving many problems in the real world, open source advocates have predicted.
The predictions were made in the 2020 Floss Roadmap, produced for the Open World Forum event in Paris this week.
What does the future hold for new technologies?
Predicting the future of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) over the next twelve years is not an easy task. However, drawing on a variety of expertise (analysts, think tanks, etc.) and looking at existing technologies, certain trends do seem to stand out as being relatively certain to arrive at maturity in a more or less definitive timescale. And we don’t need a crystal ball to anticipate that in the years to come, transformational technologies will emerge – these are the technologies that will have an impact on how our society evolves, and include:
“Cloud Computing” : delivering computing power, storage and applications via Internet (Software as a Service – SaaS).
“Green IT” : optimum and sustainable usage of IT resources for organizations and their supply chains, for hardware, energy or applications.
“Ambient Computing” or “Internet of Things” : the capacity of simple objects to communicate between themselves and with other systems.
Virtual organizations : from ‘tele-working’ to the world of avatars, and the application of social networking practices to the enterprise or to teaching.
Heightened reality : the capacity to enrich human senses with additional information.
Mobile robots : from functional objects to autonomous behaviour profiles.
There are 7 themes in the book:
Theme 1
Public policies: promoting sustainable development of shared resources
Theme 2
FLOSS: the key to future innovation and competitive differentiation?
Theme 3
Ensuring sustainability for FLOSS developer communities and business ecosystems
Theme 4
Technological and economic breakthroughs: challenge or opportunity for FLOSS?
Theme 5

Khieu Samphan Renews Translation Demand

The Pre-Trial Chamber of the Khmer Rouge tribunal held a second hearing for jailed regime leader Khieu Samphan Thursday, as attorney Jacques Verges maintained he could not defend his client without the translation into French of tens of thousands of document pages.
Verges, renowned for showmanship in the defense of notorious figures, said French funding for the tribunal should have been used for translations, which have already delayed proceedings against Khieu Samphan since his first hearing, in April.
Tribunal prosecutors said Thursday 2.5 percent of the documents had been translated into French and 5 percent in English, arguing this was enough.
Verges said he opposed the argument completely, because “we don’t know how many documents represent the percentage.”
Khieu Samphan, now 77, faces charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes for his role as the nominal head of Democratic Kampuchea. The aging leader told the court Thursday that if the documents in his case were translated, his lawyers would have “enough understanding” to have him acquitted.
“I believe that I would not be found guilty,” he said. “I would not be detained like nowadays.”
Cambodian tribunal prosecutor Chea Leang said the courts could not translate all the documents because of restrictions to time and budget, an argument Verges dismissed.
“We have been told that it is due to a question of money,” he said. “And I say this is a shame, because it is the life of one person, and his honor. Then, we have been told that they don’t have enough money to assume that which is necessary, but they mock everybody. France contributed $5 million, and we have been told that they don’t have money to translate.”
Cambodian defense lawyer Sar Sovann said Thursday that if all the documents are not translated, his client will be denied justice.
The defense team said 60,000 pages must now be translated, a bump in the original 16,000 pages originally requested. That request, made in Khieu Samphan’s pre-trial detention hearing in April, has so far prevented further movement in the case.
International prosecutor William Smith said the total number of documents in the case of Khieu Samphan was only 3,000.
Chea Leang asked the court to maintain its stance, that no further translation was necessary for proceedings to continue.
“The international standard of the court does not oblige translation,” she said.
Pre-trial judges made no decision on the translation question Thursday.
Meanwhile, civil parties were not allowed to make a comment during the hearing, having failed to submit a brief to judges ahead of the hearing, Prak Kimsan, head judge of the Pre-Trial Chamber, said.
Representatives of the civil parties said after the hearing Thursday they were concerned with the time delays, corruption allegations and lack of information coming from the courts.

Anti-Corruption at Center of Donor Meeting

The Cambodian government opened a two-day donor meeting Thursday, lobbying for additional aid to the national budget for the development of the country.
Opening the annual Cambodia Development Cooperation Forum, Prime Minister Hun Sen assured the 17 donor countries and agencies, which yearly contribute hundreds of millions of dollars to state coffers, of Cambodia’s continued commitment to good governance and the tackling of corruption, a key point for many donors.
Addressing a much-anticipated anti-corruption law, which has remained in draft stage for more than a decade, Hun Sen said the government was “well aware” that the law “is an indispensable legal instrument to fight corruption effectively.”
Hun Sen assured donors the government was “strongly committed to ensure rapid conclusion and adoption of this law in close consultation with all concerned parties.” Meanwhile, he said, Cambodia’s were expected to average a per capita income of $625 per year, an increase of nearly 10 percent per year since 1999.
The government was also continuing work on decentralization, he said.
The Cambodian government has been criticized for the centralization of power around Hun Sen and key members of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party.
Hun Sen pointed out that this year’s donor meeting was being held amid a global financial crisis, but he said the country’s banking sector remained “sound” and “not seriously affected by the global financial cataclysm.”
He called land reform “the most sensitive area” for the government, “due to outstanding issues in the past.”
In recent years, Cambodia’s rural population has been widely upset through illegal land sales, land-grabs and other schemes, often undertaken by powerful officials in collaboration with private businesses. The government was responding with a number of measures, Hun Sen said, adding “the systematic land registration has been greatly welcomed by the rural people.”
Finance Minister Keat Chhon declined to estimate the amount of aid Cambodia could receive this year, but Reuters news service reported that figure could be as much as $900 million. By comparison, the government was pledged $690 million last year.
Meanwhile, the international community pushed the government to pass the anti-corruption law, calling it necessary for investment and development and a buffer against the global financial downturn.
“Passing the law will be an important signal, providing investors and development partners with the confidence to make more long-term commitments in Cambodia,” said Qimiao Fan, the World Bank’s country manager. “Strengthening transparency and accountability in the management of public finances and natural resources will help secure the scale and type of investments required to sustain growth through the downturn and beyond.”

PHNOM PENH, Dec. 4 (Xinhua) — China and Cambodia agreed here Thursday to further promote bilateral comprehensive and cooperative partnership during the talks between China’s top political advisor Jia Qinglin and Cambodian Senate President Chea Sim.
Jia, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), spoke highly of the development of bilateral relations in the past five decades of diplomatic ties.
He said China attaches great importance to its relations with Cambodia and the Chinese side will work with the Cambodian side to explore potentials and continuously push forward bilateral partnership of comprehensive cooperation so as to achieve reciprocal and win-win results.
The further development of bilateral traditional friendship is the common aspiration of the two peoples, conforms to the fundamental interest of the two countries, and will contribute to regional prosperity and development, said Jia, who arrived here Tuesday on an official goodwill visit as Chea Sim’s guest.
He said the Communist Party of China attaches importance to its relations with the Cambodian People’s Party and Funcinpec Party, and the CPPCC will strengthen exchanges and cooperation with the Cambodian Senate.
Chea Sim said Cambodia takes China as a close friend, neighbor and cooperative partner, hoping that the two sides will actively push forward bilateral cooperation in such fields as economy, trade, tourism culture and education.
He also hoped that the two sides will enhance cooperation within the framework of the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and strengthen coordination in international and regional affairs.
Cambodia is the last leg of Jia’s four-nation visit which has taken him to Jordan, Turkey and Laos.

ADB gives $10 mln for Cambodia to improve public financial management

PHNOM PENH, Dec. 4 (Xinhua) — The Asian Development Bank is (ADB) providing 10.81 million U.S. dollars to support efforts by Cambodia to improve its public financial management to ensure thatmuch-needed government funds reach the rural poor, said an ADB press release here on Thursday.
The program consists of a 6.71 million U.S. dollars of grant for the first of two sub-programs that will strengthen public financial management (PFM) reforms in the three ministries supporting rural development, namely the Ministry of Rural Development, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology, it said.
Another 4.1 million U.S. dollars of grant will fund an institutional and capacity development project under the program.
The two grants will focus on improving the capacity of the three ministries in PFM subsystems relating to budget formulation, execution, procurement, and reporting; and internal audit for better service delivery to rural communities.
The two grants support Cambodia’s Public Financial Management Reform Program, which was launched in December 2004 by the Ministry of Economy and Finance to address weaknesses in the public financial management system, according to the release.
While the benefits of recent growth have been widely spread across Cambodia, the rural poverty rate has not declined as expected. The poverty rate in rural areas was estimated at 39 percent in 2004 compared with the national rate of 34 percent.
With an estimated 80 percent of the population living outside the main urban centers, this translates to more than 4 million people living below the poverty line in rural areas, said the release.
Poverty reduction is severely hampered by the limited effectiveness of public spending due to the weak link between policy and the budget.
“The ministries that support rural development in Cambodia are currently the weakest and most underfunded of all the ministries. As a result, service delivery in rural areas is slow and the ruralpoor do not have many economic opportunities,” Prasanna Kumar Jena, Governance Specialist of ADB’s Southeast Asia Department, was quoted as saying.
A strong public financial management system will help the government implement its National Strategic Development Plan, which aims to reduce poverty, particularly through policy and financial support to the agricultural sector, which employs an estimated 70 percent of the rural population and accounts for a third of gross domestic product, said the release.
The capacity development needs of the government’s National Audit Authority will also be taken into account by the program to improve the overall governance framework of Cambodia’s public sector, it added.

Cambodia seeks foreign aid despite global woes

Cambodia’s prime minister asked foreign donors Thursday to continue providing economic assistance despite the global financial crisis and promised the passage of an anti-corruption law.Speaking to donor representatives at the opening of a two-day meeting to coordinate assistance, Hun Sen said aid would be used for health care, education and other social improvements.
Cambodia is one of the world’s poorest countries and is heavily reliant on foreign aid.
“Concern for the crisis ahead should not interrupt the continuous mission of poverty reduction and sustainable development,” Hun Sen said.
Foreign governments and international aid agencies such as the World Bank have expressed concern about corruption and inefficiency in Cambodia’s administration of aid.
The country must quickly pass a long-delayed law to fight corruption in order to build confidence among foreign investors, said Qimiao Fan, the country manager for the World Bank.
“Passing the law will be an important signal, providing investors and development partners with the confidence to make more long-term commitments in Cambodia,” he told the meeting.
Hun Sen tried to assure donors he was committed to accountability for their aid and said he is strongly committed to ensure the rapid conclusion and adoption of the law.
It was not known how much donors would pledge at this year’s meeting, but last year, Cambodia received US$689 million in aid. Several government ministers declined comment on a specific figure, but a senior official at the Finance Ministry, Hang Chuon Naron, cited a figure of about $900 million.

Cambodia revives Pol Pot’s deadly canals

BARAY, Cambodia: The dry season has taken hold here, but water is everywhere. It pours out of sluice gates with the roar of an Alpine torrent. Playful children do back flips into the ubiquitous canals and then pull their friends in with them. Fishermen cast their nets for minnows, and villagers wash their Chinese-made motorcycles.
“It’s never dry here,” said Chan Mo, a 36-year-old rice farmer standing on top of an irrigation dike.
The Khmer Rouge canals have come back to life.
By the time the brutal government of Pol Pot was toppled three decades ago, 1.7 million Cambodians were dead from overwork, starvation and disease, and the country was a ruin. But the forced labor of millions of Cambodians left behind something useful - or that’s how the current government sees it.
The leaders of the Khmer Rouge were obsessed with canals, embankments and dams. They presided over hundreds of irrigation projects to revive Cambodia’s glorious but perhaps mythical past of an agrarian wonderland.
“There has never been a modern regime that placed more emphasis and resources towards developing irrigation,” wrote Jeffrey Himel, a water resource engineer, in a recent study of Cambodia’s irrigation system.
“The Khmer Rouge emptied all cities and towns, and put practically the entire population to work planting rice and digging irrigation dikes and canals.” Some of the canals were poorly designed - “hydraulic nonsense,” says Alain Goffeau, a French irrigation expert with the Asian Development Bank. But many were viable.
The Khmer Rouge built around three-quarters of Cambodia’s more than 1,000 canal networks, according to a survey commissioned by the United Nations in the 1990s.
Now, across this impoverished nation of 14 million people, the canals are being rebuilt by a government hoping to take advantage of the world’s increasing demand for rice.
The Asian Development Bank is helping finance the rehabilitation of a dozen canals, adding to projects financed by the Japanese and South Korean governments.
“There’s a lot of possibility,” Goffeau said.
For older Cambodians, the canals are a source of ambivalence. Men like Loh Thoeun, 61, now a rice farmer, think back to the baskets of dirt that he carried away, hour after hour.
He recalls the horrors of the Khmer Rouge - the laborers, hands tied behind their backs, who were “dragged away like cows” and never returned, the Muslim families who were thrown down a nearby well. The foremen of the irrigation project in Baray were killed after the canals and embankments were completed - without explanation. Loh says he once saw Pol Pot inspect the canals on what he described as a “speedboat.”
All of the work was done by hand here in Baray, a two-hour drive north of the capital, Phnom Penh. No talking was allowed among laborers. The Khmer Rouge played revolutionary songs and banged hubcaps to encourage the workers. Contemporary photos show huge crowds toiling in the dust.
“The earth here is very hard, and when we dug deeper we got to the hardest part - the most compact ground,” said Loh, sitting in a bamboo shelter beside his rice fields. “We had to hammer at it. It was like cutting down a tree.”
For so many Cambodians the Khmer Rouge years, from 1975 to 1979, were about digging. Villagers and residents of Phnom Penh, who were forced to move to the countryside, were organized in small work units.
“I was a slave,” said Ang Mongkol, now the deputy director general of the Ministry of Interior who was a law student when the Khmer Rouge came to power and was assigned to haul dirt.
Yet despite the sorrow of those years, there are only traces of remorse here about taking full advantage of the canals. Loh hopes the canals he built in slave-like conditions will help double or triple his rice output.
“I always recall the past to my children,” Loh said. “I say, “We have water from this canal that was built by the people. And many of them died.”
Ang is leading an experimental project that uses water from the canal to irrigate fields of hybrid rice varieties that promise to yield four times as much as the variety traditionally grown here. Because only about 20 percent of Cambodia’s fields are irrigated, its rice farmers harvest on average half as much as Vietnam’s and one third as much as China’s.
The irrigation system in Baray, which is fed from water diverted from the nearby Chinit River, functioned for several years after the Khmer Rouge left power. But in the mid-1980s it fell into disrepair. It was only in 2005 that the government began rebuilding it. Today, the local municipality hires a maintenance crew to keep the water flowing.
Among the workers is Sim Vy, 48. As a teenager she was enlisted by the Khmer Rouge to help build the canals. She was told she was working for national glory but received only a watery gruel as recompense. Now she is paid $55 a month. “I prefer working this way,” she said.

The Mirror, Vol. 12, No. 589
“It is reported that Chevron, a US big oil company, had paid US$120 million into a social development foundation of the Hun Sen government, in order to receive the concession to explore oil in one of the six blocks in the Sihanoukville sea.
“The report added that an Indonesian company, Medco International Petroleum, spent US$4.5 million to buy a license to do undersea oil exploration in the Cambodian sea, by cooperating with its partners from Kuwait and from Sweden that had also signed agreements with the National Petroleum Authority of Cambodia [as an exception in his context, no Internet website for the National Petroleum Authority of Cambodia could be found – see, however, The Mirror of 10 June 2007]. This license depends on a model contract that the National Petroleum Authority of Cambodia had provided for the first time for Block A to Chevron in 2002. This contract talks about the sharing of benefits with the Cambodian government, and about the taxation rate on oil income.
“When asking the Minister of Information, Mr. Khieu Kanharith, about these problems by telephone, he advised to talk to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Council of Ministers Sok An, who directly administers the National Petroleum Authority of Cambodia. After contacting his office by telephone for an interview, a man who received Deputy Prime Minister Sok An’s phone, said that the Deputy Prime Minister was busy.
“While the US Chevron company was already drilling to explore oil in Block A, the National Petroleum Authority of Cambodia and the cabinet of Minister Sok An provided licenses to other companies to explore oil at different blocks as follows:
- Block A: This block was contracted to Chevron of the United States, and it is believed to have the most oil and gas deposits. In Block A, Chevron has a 55% stake; the partners of this company are Mitsui Oil Exploration, having 30%, and Caltex with 15%. At present, those companies are drilling for oil at fifteen places and are considering to drill even more. According to the National Petroleum Authority of Cambodia, Chevron and its partners have invested US$120 million.
- Block B: It is far from Sihanoukville and it was contracted to the Singapore Petroleum Company cooperating with a Malaysian oil company [Petronas?] and the Thai oil company PTT. Each company has one third stake. The Singaporean company and its partners have invested US$1 million, and they will invest US$2.5 million more when oil deposits are found in this block.
- Block C: This block was contracted to Polytec of Hong Kong. The National Petroleum Authority of Cambodia announced that 100% of the rights were given to the Polytec company only, there are no partners.
- Block D: According to the publication of an Indonesian newspaper, first, the license of this block was contracted to China Zheng Rong Cambodia Energy, but then Block D was transferred to China Petrotech Holding that bought the 48% stake from the Zhen Rong company. Petrotech Holding has invested US$4 million in Block D, and plans to spend another US$2 million of its US$4 million to explore oil for the first time in this block.
- Block E: This block is located next to the Western border of a disputed region with Siam [Thailand] and it was contracted to the Indonesian Medco International Petroleum company, which has a 41.25% stake, Kuwait Energy has 20%, JHL Petroleum with 4.13%, and a Swedish company has 34%. For this Block E, Medco of Indonesia had paid US$4.5 million to a social development foundation of the Cambodian government.
- Block F: This block was contracted to China National Offshore Oil, a big oil company, and it was signed with the National Petroleum Authority of Cambodia a few months ago. Details about the agreement and plans for this block are not shown.
“The Director-General of the National Petroleum Authority, Mr. Te Duong Dara, refused to be available for a direct interview over the provision of licenses and the payment by all oil exploring companies to the government. He added that - because now there are disputes over taxation laws on oil that is found at the bottom of the sea - we have not yet reached a good solution for those companies to pay tax to the state.
“Te Duong Dara continued to say that we still have problems with taxation laws and we have to guarantee that the new taxation laws will be right; otherwise, those foreign companies will withdraw their investments from Cambodia.” Moneaksekar Khmer, Vol.15, #3630, 4.12.2008

Time flies while people come into your life. Time would turn everything upside down. Time would turn un-intimate into intimate. Time would turn from unexpected thing to be reality. Time would turn your life upside down in a whole. Don't take it so seriously this time cuz it's just a pass-by questions I would like to get opinion from y'all.
- What would you do when you fall for someone you're not meant to at the very beginning? Or what would you do if you love someone unexpectedly?
- What would you feel when you fall for someone without realization? Will it be a true love or just a crush?
- What would you feel when you think of someone every second, moment or beating of your heart?
- Would you have the courage to confess it when you see no hopes in it?
I came across this saying once said that "when you love someone for more than 3 months, it's not a crush but a L0V3." Again, don't take it seriously as it's just a casual remark. :P but if you would be able to answer all these questions it would be very great! Also, just want to clarify that it's not a research lolz... :P
