YouTube is a very popular web service that allows people to share video content online. Although YouTube and other streaming video websites satisfy many users, you may have reasons to create your own streaming video website. Perhaps you work for a company that wants a more professional face on their media. Or, you may want more control over exactly how your videos are presented.

We hope you’ve enjoyed our videos from JBoss World–here’s one more. While we were in Orlando, we talked with Dr. Mark Little, technical development manager for the SOA (service-oriented architecture) platform at Red Hat. Little talks about these highly adaptable and agile environments, and the (government) customers that require them. He also details how MetaMatrix additions serve this project, and what kinds of tools and applications will be supported in the future.
Image file size depends on the amount of image details it has. The higher the image quality, the better the resolution but the larger the resulting file size. Web galleries tend to load very slow and sometimes inaccessbile if photos have very high resolutions.
The mogrify command allows users to resize multiple image files at once. mogrify comes with the ImageMagick package. ImageMagick is a program used to resize, rotate, manipulate and display images. It can read, convert and write images in JPEG, TIFF, PNM, GIF and other Photo CD image formats. » Read more

When SELinux was first developed, the goal was to confine as many system processes as possible to the least amount of privilege required. Fedora 2 was released with SELinux policy that confined users as well as system processes. We quickly realized that SELinux policy was not mature enough to handle a modern mainstream desktop operating system. After a quick redesign of the policy, we created “targeted” policy, replacing the previously named “strict” policy. The goal of targeted policy was to “target” certain processes in the operating system for confinement and leave the rest of the processes “unconfined.” » Read more
