A word from HP world

To all of the Harry Potter fans out there.

The 7th and the last book of the HP series “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” will be released on 21st July this year.

And the big news for now is that HP covers are released. You can have a look at them in,
http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/

This is what the inside flap says.

“In this final, seventh installment of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling unveils in spectactular fashion the answers to the many questions that have been so eagerly awaited. The spellbinding, richly woven narrative, which plunges, twists and turns at a breathtaking pace, confirms the author as a mistress of storytelling, whose books will be read, reread and read again.”

But it’ll bring happy and sad feelings to all HP fans, Happy because they will have the chance to know answers to many riddles that were arised in previous books and sad because this will be the end of the series.

Google Summer of Code is On!!!

GSoC is back for year 2007.

If you don’t know about GSoC here what Google says.

“Google Summer of CodeTM is a program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source projects. Google will be working with a several open source, free software and technology-related groups to identify and fund several projects over a three month period. Historically, the program has brought together over 1,000 students with over 100 open source projects, to create hundreds of thousands of lines of code. The program, which kicked off in 2005, is now in its third year, following on from a very successful 2006.”

So if you are entusiastic about some open source projects such as various CMS projects or language such as PHP, Python, Ruby.etc or even sometimes languages such as Java, C# there are projects which you can help with and get exposured to the world.

Go to GSoC home page and have a look at this year accepted projects.

Vista Launch-Sri Lanka

On 15th February Microsoft did their islandwide Windows Vista launch. I have to say it was a remarkable ceremony and a very good planning.

The event started at right on the time and went on. I was surprised to see elephants and Kandian dancers in the celebration hall. The idea was to intergrate Sri Lankan traditions and customes with Microsoft Technologies, thereby giving the idea of “Sri Lankan Vista Launch” rather than just “Vista Launch”.

Also there were presents, much food, drinks and much more. Everyone was given a T-Shirt with Vista logo. And also there was a respectable amount of crowd ( I think it was more than 1000 ).

It was a good effort and I think their effort paid off at the end. Here are few pics of the event.
