Ruby on Rails “is an open source web application framework for the Ruby programming language. It is intended to be used with an Agile development methodology that is used by web developers for rapid development.” The group is named Rails-KSA and you can find it here. Update: finally found the press release by Microsoft. In a small event in Four Seasons Hotel in Riyadh, Microsoft Saudi Arabia has launched the company’s latest operating system: Windows 7. Microsoft Saudi Arabia’s “launch party” was a small press release attended by Samir Noaman, MS Saudi’s new CEO, Waiel Snosi, manager of MS Saudi sales and Sharif Morsi manager of Windows 7 marketing.
The launch event is very quiet compared to previous Windows operating system launches. Microsoft Saudi Arabia is expected to launch a big Windows 7 advertisement campaign on October 28th in Saudi Arabia. Via True Gaming. Saudi Telecom Company has signed a deal with Alcatel-Lucent to upgrade their network so they can serve additional 2 million customers by 2010.
STC needs to work more on improving their infrastructure. Via Saudi Gazette. Mobily has announced that they have extended their 3G coverage in Saudi Arabia. From AME info:
I just came back from Jeddah and the Mobily 3G connection there was horrible: 3G isn’t working in many areas, HSDPA speed is horrible (less than 100kbps down according to speedtest.net iPhone app) and Mobily connect card can’t even connect for some reason. STC is just as horrible with the dropped calls and horrible 902 services. Maybe it’s me or maybe it’s the weather? Who knows. Great achievement for Saudi students from King Saud University, the “UT” team will represent Saudi Arabia in the 6th Sixth Scientific Conference for the care of the talented in Jordan.
The odd thing is the website for “Sixth Scientific Conference for the care of the talented” apparently expired? The domain won’t expire until 2010 but now it’s only showing ads unlike this cache. The news source didn’t mention what UT stands for I would assume “Ultrasonic testing”? Can someone clarify? The sites did mention Dr Man-Gon Park. Anyone knows please tell me. Update: Thanks Abdullah for posting this. “UT” stands for Ubiquitous Technology which is actually Ubiquitous computing, a form of human-computer interaction (HCI). Now it makes some sense. Update 2: Thank you Dr. Man-Gon Park for posting your comment on this entry:
