Microsoft Launches Open Source Foundation
By: Darryl K. Taft | September 10, 2009
Just days after being accused of attempting to unleash potentially harmful Linux-related patents to find their way into the hands of patent trolls, Microsoft is now slated to announce its founding of a new foundation to support open source software.
Just days after being accused of attempting to unleash potentially harmful Linux-related patents to find their way into the hands of open-source-hating patent trolls, Microsoft is now slated to announce its founding of a new foundation to support open-source software.
According to foundation documents and published reports, the group will be known as the CodePlex Foundation and will be led by Sam Ramji, Microsoft's senior director of Platform Strategy. Ramji has been Microsoft's guy in the hot seat in dealing directly with various factions of the open-source community, including the Apache Software Foundation and the Eclipse Foundation. And Ramji has proven his mettle in establishing relationships with those organizations and others. Ramji will be the interim president of the foundation.
According to one blog post:
"Other interim board members of the new foundation are primarily from Microsoft, at this point. They include Bill Staples, head of Microsoft's Internet Information Services team; Stephanie Boesch, a Microsoft Program Manager for the .Net Framework; Miguel de Icaza, Vice President of Developer Platform at Novell; Britt Johnston, a Microsoft Product Unit Manager for Data and Modeling; and Shaun Walker, Co-founder and Chief Architect of DotNetNuke."

The CodePlex Foundation's Website describes the group as "a non-profit foundation formed with the mission of enabling the exchange of code and understanding among software companies and open source communities, launched today, September 10, 2009."
Moreover, the foundation's site reads:
""The CodePlex Foundation will complement existing open source foundations and organizations, providing a forum in which best practices and shared understanding can be established by a broad group of participants, both software companies and open source communities. Initial funding for the Foundation comes from Microsoft Corporation.""
In addition, according to the site, the CodePlex Foundation is an extension of the CodePlex brand established by Codeplex.com, Microsoft's community development site where the company hosts open-source, shared source and other technologies. The site hosts more than 10,000 projects.
However, "The Foundation is solving similar challenges; ultimately aiming to bring open source and commercial software developers together in a place where they can collaborate," an FAQ on the CodePlex Foundation site said. "This is absolutely independent from the project hosting site, but it is essentially trying to support the same mission. It is just solving a different part of the challenge, a part that Codeplex.com isn't designed to solve."

The Microsoft Products and Services Agreement (MPSA) is a transactional licensing agreement for commercial, government, and academic organizations with 250 or more users/devices. MPSA works best for organizations that want to license Microsoft on-premises software, cloud services, or both as needed—with no organization-wide commitment under a single, non-expiring agreement. Software Assurance is optional.
What is the Microsoft Products and Services Agreement?
The Microsoft Products and Services Agreement (MPSA) consolidates purchasing of Microsoft cloud services, software, and Microsoft Software Assurance. Suited for organizations with 250 or more users, MPSA provides a Purchasing Account structure.
In what countries/regions is the MPSA available?
The MPSA is available in Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Angola, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belgium, Belize, Bermuda, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Cabo Verde, Cameroon, Canada, Cayman Islands, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cote d'Ivoire, Croatia, Curaçao, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Estonia, Ethiopia, Faroe Island, Fiji, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Guatemala, Honduras, Hong Kong SAR, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Korea, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lebanon, Libya, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macao SAR, Macedonia FYRO, Malaysia, Malta, Mauritius, Mexico, Moldova, Monaco, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Namibia, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Palestinian Authority, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Rwanda, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, Venezuela, Vietnam, Yemen, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
What is a Purchasing Account?
A Purchasing Account is a buying entity within your organization that you create to order and manage products and services by registering them to an MPSA. This account can be a department, an affiliate, a subset of personnel, or your entire organization. To register a Purchasing Account, you must complete a Purchasing Account Registration form and name a legal entity on the form. This connects both the purchasing entity and the legal entity to the MPSA terms. Each Purchasing Account is registered only once and each account is assigned a sector type of commercial, academic, or government. You can have Purchasing Accounts of different sector types on one MPSA. One Purchasing Account is designated as the Agreement Administrator. The Agreement Administrator manages the MPSA, oversees the participation of other Purchasing Accounts in the MPSA, and can fully view assets across all accounts.
Can I work with multiple partners on a single Purchasing Account?
Yes. You can have multiple partners on a single Purchasing Account for your transactional purchases without having to register a new Purchasing Account for your buying entity.
Can a Qualified Education User or government organization sign an MPSA?
Yes. Your organization can sign an MPSA or add a Purchasing Account to an existing MPSA. Purchasing Accounts are independent of each other, so a customer can have a mix of commercial, government, and academic accounts if they each satisfy the definition of an affiliate of the legal entity that signed the MPSA. Contact a Licensing Solution Provider for more information.
See more about eligibility for becoming a Qualified Education User or eligibility for Volume Licensing for Government.
My organization is an eligible government organization. Can I sign an MPSA?
Yes. Your organization can sign an MPSA or add a Purchasing Account to an existing MPSA. Contact a Licensing Solution Provider for more information. Government and academic organizations each have a single price level. See more about eligibility for Volume Licensing for Government.
See more about eligibility for Volume Licensing for Government.
Can I have a government, academic, and commercial organization on one agreement?
Yes. New with the MPSA is the ability to have multiple organization types—commercial, academic, or government—on one agreement with the use of Purchasing Accounts.
Is Software Assurance available through an MPSA?
Yes. Software Assurance purchasing and benefit management is available. Existing Software Assurance coverage and benefits from another Volume Licensing program (for example, Microsoft Select Plus, Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, or Microsoft Open License) are not affected by or connected to a new MPSA. For more information, see the Software Assurance through the MPSA.
How many points do I need to begin purchasing through an MPSA, and how do purchases count toward my organization's price level?
You do not need an entry minimum to begin purchasing through the MPSA. However, to maintain purchasing eligibility at Level A, you must purchase a minimum of 500 points or cloud services for at least 250 users within each active product pool by the compliance anniversary date. The compliance anniversary date is established as the one-year anniversary of the month in which you first sign your MPSA.
MPSA minimums may be subject to country specific rules.
When you register a Purchasing Account, you choose an account type (commercial, academic, or government). As you make purchases, product points are grouped into product pools for each account type, such as academic to academic or commercial to commercial. For commercial accounts, the collective volume determines the price level for each product pool.
For instance, Account 1 and Account 2 are both commercial types. Account 1 purchases 500 licenses for Microsoft Office and Account 2 purchases 200 licenses for Office. The combined purchase volume of 700 licenses and corresponding points determines the price level.
How do price level adjustments work?
Purchases made through the MPSA in Purchasing Accounts are aggregated and continuously factored into point minimums per pool to achieve the most beneficial price level for commercial organizations (government and academic organizations each have a single price level). Your organization attains the next discount price level for a pool as soon as it meets the corresponding annual point minimums. The order that qualifies you for the next discount threshold (for example, Level A to Level B) receives the discount. All subsequent orders across the organization with the same account type receive the new price level automatically for future purchases.
What is the advantage of short-term subscriptions?
Buying short-term subscriptions for select cloud services helps you address your short-term needs, like supporting seasonal workers during holiday seasons or high volumes during special projects. This flexible purchasing option enables you to pay for only what you need, when you need it, with premium pricing for the short-term convenience.
I have another Volume Licensing agreement. How do I view my licenses and cloud services through the MPSA and through that existing agreement?
You can view your software licenses and cloud services through an MPSA from the Microsoft Business Center. To view software licenses through a different Microsoft Volume Licensing agreement, use the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC). After your licenses and cloud services are fully covered by an MPSA, all of your purchases through the MPSA will be viewable in a single tool. Contact your partner if you have questions about your overall licensing position.
How do I register for the Business Center?
You can access instructions for registering for the Business Center and setting up an account on the Business Center training and resources page.
Can I purchase cloud services directly from Microsoft through my MPSA?
You can provision cloud services directly from the Microsoft Business Center, which sends an order for processing to the partner you choose. Your partner then invoices you for your cloud services purchase. From the Business Center, you can manage and assign your cloud services seats via the "Online Services" tile. After your cloud services purchase is processed, you will see them available in your Business Center summary. Note that Microsoft Azure cannot be purchased through MPSA.
Where are the Volume Licensing Keys displayed?
The Volume Licensing Keys (VLKs) are displayed on the Downloads and Keys page on the Business Center.
How do I get my licensed products?
For the MPSA, you can download the products you ordered through the Business Center. If you require physical media, contact your Microsoft partner for assistance.
Can separate Purchasing Accounts have their own work or school account or have the option to use the same account as the other Purchasing Accounts on the MPSA?
Yes, you can use your existing account, set up a new account, or use the account already associated to the MPSA.
You can access instructions for registering for the Business Center and setting up an organization account in the quick start guide: Register for the Business Center.

Q: Exclude Row from sorting - Datatables.net I have a question about how to exclude a row(tr) from sorting. I want to make something like this http://jsfiddle.net/rishijagati/WwDg8/213/ but I don't want to set the data of the hidden row in jQuery.
I suppose that you can do it adding a class to the
 element and after that manage to not sort this
 on initializing the datatable on jQuery.
Actually I have the initialization like this:
$('.ordered_table').dataTable({
        "sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
        "dom": '<"toolbar">frtip',
        "pagingType": "numbers",
        "searching": false,
        "pageLength": 20,
        columnDefs: [{
          targets:  ['datatable-nosort'],
          orderable: false,
          bsortable: false
        }],
        "aaSorting": []
 });

The class datatable-nosort is for not sorting on columns, this is not for rows.
Now is showing always this message, but I have made the accordion effect but the sorting is not working.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property '_DT_CellIndex' of undefined

My table is like this:

   <%= order.id %>
   <%= order.created_at.strftime("%d/%m/%Y") %>
   <%= order.exhibitor_corporate_name %>
   <%= order.candidate_first_name %> <%= order.candidate_last_name %>
   <%= !order.engagements.first.nil? ? order.engagements.first.date.strftime("%d/%m/%Y") : ''   %>
   <%= !order.engagements.last.nil? ? order.engagements.last.date.strftime("%d/%m/%Y") : ''   %>
   <%
   number = @total_hours
   parts = number.to_s.split(".")
   result = parts.count > 1 ? parts[1].to_s : 0
   result = '0' + '.' + result.to_s
   hours = parts.count > 1 ? parts[0].to_s : 0
   %>

      <%= hours.to_s %>
      <%= 'h. ' %>
      <%= (result.to_f*60).to_i %>
      <%= 'm.' %>

   <%= @price_ngage %>€

   Order details

A: This worked for me:

...

...

        ...
        ...

A: From the documentation for columnDefs.targets option:

... class name will be matched on the TH for the column (without a leading .)

So you have to apply class datatable-nosort to the TH element in the header.
Another error occurs most likely because DataTables do not support colspan or rowspan in table body. To show extra details, use child row functionality instead.

WRAP | Report UK plastic waste arisings 3.7m tonnes in 2014
Annual plastic waste arisings in the UK were estimated to be 3.7 million tonnes in 2014, including some 2.2 million tonnes of packaging, according to a report published by ACR+ member WRAP. The Plastics Market Situation Report, found that of the total amount of plastic packaging arising around 1.5 million tonnes was estimated to be rigid plastic packaging and the remaining 700,000 tonnes was estimated to be films. In terms of consumer plastic packaging 594,000 tonnes was said to be bottles, 525,000 tonnes other rigids such as pots, tubs and trays (PTTs) and 414,000 tonnes films. For non-consumer plastics there were an estimated 231,000 tonnes of bottles while PTTs account for 108,000 tonnes and film is estimated at 348,000 tonnes.
The report includes detailed analysis of recovered plastic flows, prices and the sustainability of end markets, including the risks and opportunities. The authors reviewed trends past and present, and updates on data reported by the organisation since the previous Plastic Market Situation Report was published in 2011. Three key themes covered in the report include: progress, end markets and plastic recyclers.
