Hello,

My name is Bogomil “Bogo” Shopov.

I just started my own business in the heart of Europe – Prague. I love social media, communities, web technologies and the open web.

I have an idea  how to help me to promote my small company and to make something good for yourself.

It’s easy:

For every re-tweet I receive on a certain tweet:

• I will run 1 meter  during Prague GrandPrix. (I never ran more than 500 meters in my life. It’s a huge challenge.)
• I will put your twitter username on a t-shirt and I will run with it. (I may use more than one)
• I will donate $0.05 to one of the these foundations*:

How to participate?

To be a valid participant to this fun action and to make my fat ass run 10 000 meters, please take just 2 actions:

1. Retweet this message. (<- click here)
2. and add as comment here at this blog your twitter username.

That’s it!

*If I get more that 5000 participants, all of you will be able to choose the foundation/charity by voting.

Sponsors

Do you want to join this campaign as a sponsor? Please contact me using the “Contacts” link in the main menu. You can sponsor the little campaign by adding $0.01 (or more) for every tweet AND a tweet from your company account.

Rust is an experimental, concurrent, multi-paradigm, compiled programming language developed by Mozilla Labs. It is designed to be practical, supporting pure-functional, concurrent-actor, imperative-procedural, and object-oriented styles. /wikipedia/

Note:

It takes a lot of time and you do need an active internet connection during the compiling process.

Hack
Open your Geany or your favourite IDE and write this:

use std;
 
fn hello_world(name: str) {  
	let greetings: str = "Hello World, "+ name +"! and Здравей свят! and 您好，世界！";
	std::io::println(greetings);
}
 
 
fn main(args: [str]) {
	hello_world(args[1]);
}

Save it as helloworld.rs

Compile it

$rustc helloworld.rs

See you at Fosdem in 2 weeks.

I will be offline from IRC also.

The work on this is ongoing, but in the meantime it would be great to get some
feedback to help us identify outstanding issues. And while these packages are
not intended for productive use, they may already prove useful to some.

The packages from the last cycle can be downloaded at

http://files.kolab.org/local/windows/kolab-enterprise5/experimental/2011-03-09-12-58/

And we’d appreciate feedback to our mailing-list: kolab-devel@kolab.org.

Cool
