Part of the class
includes gentle stretching and dog massage, another specialty of Bryan's, but most of the time the humans gently use the dogs like yoga props.
In downward facing dog, for example, the humans rest their heads on their companions, who are relaxing - napping? - on the mat.
The yoga poses are modified both for the humans of different sizes and abilities and for the dogs. During class, Bryan reminds people not to push their canine partners to perform.
"Don't be too ambitious," she says. "Honour where your dog is and remember that dogs respond to our energy."
Leilani, a toy poodle, is the star of the class, perhaps because the tiny 11-year-old is too timid to venture off the mat to play with the big dogs.
Her owner, Suanne Nagata, says afterwards that Leilani just loves being touched.
"I could just feel her relax," she says.

Pets team up at doggie yoga
2007-05-06 12:54:35
By the end of a recent yoga class, many participants were flopped out on their mats, in a position their instructor calls the "upward facing belly pose.'"
That's largely because about half the group was about to walk out on four legs: The Seattle/King County Humane Society now offers 40 minute classes of "doggie yoga".
Brenda Bryan, who teaches human yoga as well as the new class for both dogs and humans, says the dogs react to the gentle energy in the room.
"As we get into it, the dogs all kind of calm down,'' says Bryan, who developed the poses for the class by working with her own two dogs - Gus, a mixed breed, and Honey, a Shar Pei-Boxer mix - and talking to instructors in cities like New York, Los Angeles and Pittsburgh where yoga for dogs and their owners is starting to catch on.
lack of progress

He also laments Australia's lack of progress
with electronic health. While better integration and analysis of online health information could save lives, "progress has been glacial".
In the coming five years, Mr McCabe predicts a rapid move towards software as a hosted service. Coupled with the dawn of truly mobile computing and advances in battery technology within two years, workers will be "untethered" for an entire working day. Mr McCabe forecasts a complete rethink of traditional work practices.

When analysts went looking for users of web services in 2001, they were thin on the ground. Two years later, "you couldn't count them", says the principal of Sydney-based S2 Research, Bruce McCabe. New interfaces have revolutionised computing, making software integration cheaper and easier.
"Web services are rapidly commoditising software integration so that people can easily and quickly connect, say, accounting systems to tax systems, or mash up services online," he says.
While web services have flourished, personal computer developments have languished, and Mr McCabe is disappointed at "just how poor the progress has been in making PCs into appliances. PCs are almost as complex to own or operate now as they were five years ago."

12 months
2007-05-06 12:46:34
There has been an uptick over the past 12 months and the private equity boom should drive more IT investment. The advent of Web 2.0 business models will more tightly integrate consumers into supply chains, and a slowing economy will drive enterprises to explore how they can use technology more effectively to compete.
Mr Snedden says that will couple with access to huge amounts of information from new sources such as consumers, sensors and cameras.
"The way in which that information is synthesised and people collaborate in a problem-solving and transactional sense will be very interesting. Supply-chain technologies have allowed people to know what is happening up and down the chain. Now, we see a much greater concentration of that sort of thing so that the consumer becomes a part of the chain.
"The internet is now starting to deliver everything it promised."
What the future holds
2007-05-06 12:44:59
"While the rest of the world was experiencing economic distress, there was a need for radical corporate and government restructuring. Australia has not been through a recessionary period. Business has produced relatively good results without trying too hard. But I am surprised that we didn't see the same level of tenacity in improving business and government that we saw elsewhere."

Enterprise
Doug Snedden, Accenture
Australia has traditionally been at the leading edge of technology adoption, or at least a fast follower, but a four-year slump in IT investment has left many Australian enterprises two to three years behind peers in the rest of the world.
The managing director of Accenture Australia, Doug Snedden, believes that after the dotcom crash, "Australia went into a period of falling behind and the industry lost its appeal and relevance. We are still probably now only coming out of (that) period."
Australian enterprises continued to invest in supply-chain technologies, but fell behind in other areas, and relatively benign economic conditions had many companies coasting.
Google
2007-05-06 12:43:55
Google - as well as many others in the IT industry - is anxious to work with industry and government to address the skills issue and also attract Australians working abroad back home.
"We are holding the first Australian expat open house in May at the Googleplex in California, called G'Day Google, to try and repatriate engineers," says Mr Noble, himself a returned member of the Australian IT diaspora.
With access to the requisite skills, Mr Noble predicts the overarching internet themes of the next five years will be "more information anywhere, anytime, from any device - and not shallow, limited information but core information".

Programming environments

Programming environments
such as Ajax have allowed so-called Web 2.0 businesses to emerge internationally.
"Google Maps is a fantastic example of a Web 2.0 application that has tens and tens of millions of users around the world, and that was a development out of Australia," Mr Noble says.
"The other part that has been very important to Google is the confirmation of the commercial model whereby non-intrusive advertising can support a variety of free content."
As network speeds push higher and higher, new businesses and business models will continue to emerge, Mr Noble predicts. But the big precondition for a flourishing online environment is a proper supply of engineering candidates.

FreeBSD Release
FreeBSD is a freely available, full source 4.4BSD-Lite based release for Intel i386™, i486T, Pentium®, Pentium Pro, Celeron®, Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium 4 (or compatible), XeonT, DEC AlphaT and Sun UltraSPARC based computer systems. It is based primarily on software from U.C. Berkeley's CSRG group, with some enhancements from NetBSD, OpenBSD, 386BSD, and the Free Software Foundation.
Since our release of FreeBSD 2.0 in late 94, the performance, feature set, and stability of FreeBSD has improved dramatically. The largest change is a revamped virtual memory system with a merged VM/file buffer cache that not only increases performance, but also reduces FreeBSD's memory footprint, making a 5 MB configuration a more acceptable minimum. Other enhancements include full NIS client and server support, transaction TCP support, dial-on-demand PPP, integrated DHCP support, an improved SCSI subsystem, ISDN support, supp
Development Model

The FreeBSD Development
ModelContributed by Satoshi Asami.
The development of FreeBSD is a very open and flexible process, being literally built from the contributions of hundreds of people around the world, as can be seen from our list of contributors. FreeBSD's development infrastructure allow these hundreds of developers to collaborate over the Internet. We are constantly on the lookout for new developers and ideas, and those interested in becoming more closely involved with the project need simply contact us at the FreeBSD technical discussions mailing list. The FreeBSD announcements mailing list is also available to those wishing to make other FreeBSD users aware of major areas of work.
Useful things to know about the FreeBSD project and its development process, whether working independently or in close cooperation:

The central source tree for FreeBSD is maintained by CVS (Concurrent Versions System), a freely available source code control tool that
Project Goals
2007-05-08 22:31:38
The goals of the FreeBSD Project
are to provide software that may be used for any purpose and without strings attached. Many of us have a significant investment in the code (and project) and would certainly not mind a little financial compensation now and then, but we are definitely not prepared to insist on it. We believe that our first and foremost "mission" is to provide code to any and all comers, and for whatever purpose, so that the code gets the widest possible use and provides the widest possible benefit. This is, I believe, one of the most fundamental goals of Free Software and one that we enthusiastically support.
That code in our source tree which falls under the GNU General Public License (GPL) or Library General Public License (LGPL) comes with slightly more strings attached, though at least on the side of enforced access rather than the usual opposite. Due to the additional complexities that can evolve in the commercial use of GPL software we do, however, prefer software

History

Around this time, some rather unexpected storm clouds formed on the horizon as Novell and U.C. Berkeley settled their long-running lawsuit over the legal status of the Berkeley Net/2 tape. A condition of that settlement was U.C. Berkeley's concession that large parts of Net/2 were "encumbered" code and the property of Novell, who had in turn acquired it from AT&T some time previously. What Berkeley got in return was Novell's "blessing" that the 4.4BSD-Lite release, when it was finally released, would be declared unencumbered and all existing Net/2 users would be strongly encouraged to switch. This included FreeBSD, and the project was given until the end of July 1994 to stop shipping its own Net/2 based product. Under the terms of that agreement, the project was allowed one last release before the deadline, that release being FreeBSD 1.1.5.1.
FreeBSD then set about the arduous task of literally re-inventing itself from a completely new and rather incomplete set of 4.4

History
of FreeBSD
Contributed by Jordan Hubbard.
The FreeBSD project had its genesis in the early part of 1993, partially as an outgrowth of the "Unofficial 386BSD Patchkit" by the patchkit's last 3 coordinators: Nate Williams, Rod Grimes and myself.
Our original goal was to produce an intermediate snapshot of 386BSD in order to fix a number of problems with it that the patchkit mechanism just was not capable of solving. Some of you may remember the early working title for the project being "386BSD 0.5" or "386BSD Interim" in reference to that fact.
386BSD was Bill Jolitz's operating system, which had been up to that point suffering rather severely from almost a year's worth of neglect. As the patchkit swelled ever more uncomfortably with each passing day, we were in unanimous agreement that something had to be done and decided to assist Bill by providing this interim "cleanup" snapshot. Those plans came to a rude halt when Bill Jolitz suddenly decided to withdraw his sanctio
