Open Conference Systems (OCS) is a free Web publishing tool that will create a complete Web presence for your scholarly conference. OCS will allow you to:





• create a conference Web site


• compose and send a call for papers


• electronically accept paper and abstract submissions


• allow paper submitters to edit their work


• post conference proceedings and papers in a searchable format


• post, if you wish, the original data sets


• register participants


• integrate post-conference online discussions





OCS version 2.1.1 is now available. New features include:





• manage conferences that occur more than once (e.g. yearly)


• an expanded, multiple-round review system


• e-mail template system


• localization & translation tools


• credit card payment for registrations


• automated "thanks-for-submitting" messages


• accept login/password for participants


• Creative Commons licensing of presentations


• more customizable, scalable and secure code


• Session Scheduler


• Multiple languages


• Help files


• Documentation


• ...and much more.

The intent of the project is to take advantage of advances in sensing to improve both security and the environment, while preserving — even strengthening — privacy, freedom, and civil liberties.

We have a unique opportunity to steer today's emerging sensing/surveillance technologies in positive directions, before they become widespread

UNIX at your fingertips

You can leverage the full power of a unix scripting environment, right
from within e. Close integration with cygwin gives you access to the
full range of UNIX shell tools and lets you extend e with your choice of
languages like Ruby, Perl, Python and more. If you have any task that
could benefit from automation, you can be sure that e is up to it.

How to Take a Screenshot in Linux With the Terminal (ImageMagick)

My favorite way of taking screenshots is with ImageMagick in the terminal. If you need a delay before taking the screenshot (for example, to get a screenshot of a menu that would disappear if you took a screenshot with GNOME) ImageMagick is the best way.

First, make sure you have ImageMagic installed: type import -version in the terminal. If ImageMagick is installed, you will see the ImageMagick version number. I don't think Ubuntu comes with ImageMagick. To install ImageMagick in Ubuntu (or any Debian-based distro), just type sudo apt-get install imagemagick.

To take a screenshot in the terminal with ImageMagick, type the following line into a terminal and then click-and-drag the mouse over a section of the screen:

import MyScreenshot.png

GNOME will beep once when the screenshot begins, and once again when the screenshot is complete. Then type eog MyScreenshot.png in the terminal to view your screenshot. "eog" is the command to start Eye of GNOME.

To capture the entire screen after a delay (so you can open some menus or whatever), type sleep 10; import -window root MyScreenshot2.png. The first part of that line, sleep 10; will give you a 10 second delay before the screenshot begins. The next part, import -window root, tells ImageMagick to import the "root" window — that is, the entire screen. The last part MyScreenshot2.png is the name of your screenshot.

Another example of taking a screenshot in Linux with the terminal

The following command will wait for 15 seconds, take a screenshot, and then open the screenshot in the GIMP for editing:

sleep 15; import -window root MyScreenshot3.png; gimp MyScreenshot3.png;

You can also manipulate the screenshot with ImageMagick as you take it. For example, the following line will take a screenshot and resize the image to a width of 500 pixels:

import -window root -resize 500 AnotherScreenshot.png

For more information on how to take screenshots in the terminal with ImageMagick, type man imagemagick in the terminal. You can also type import -help to get a list of options for the import command.
