Jump Right Into Open Developing With Leap Motion

OpenStack Superuser

The beauty of open sourcing development resources is that a single library or wrapper, once released to the world, can be integrated and built out by thousands of other people.

    Patch level release Univention Corporate Server 3.2-3

    The latest patch level release UCS 3.2-3 includes all errata updates and an update to Linux kernel version 3.10.11 which involves many bug fixes and improves the hardware support.

    Special highlight is the new module “Active Directory Connection”, which replaces the previous AD connector for mounting a UCS installation in an AD domain. UCS users can now not only migrate an existing Microsoft server system to UCS but also configure their UCS system as part of an existing AD domain, for example to use UCS as the platform for applications from independent third-party solutions via the Univention App Center. Further highlights are a completely revised system setup wizard, a backport of PHP 5.4.4 and improved replication between OpenLDAP and Samba 4.
