Ozgur Akan

Ozgur Akan, the founder of jEopardy Project, has been working on open source software and networking since 1996. Since learning more about the GNU project the will of doing something useful for people has never left him. Born in Istanbul on December 29, 1977, it was early in his first year of university (1996) that he first meet linux and GNU. Being one of the founders of the Turkey PHP Group, he wrote several articles in monthly magazines. Getting deeper into networking and linux he finally started to work on the linux kernel which inspired him to create a tool based on netfilter.

JVM Memory Usage

Posted by aiqa on April 28, 2005 at 10:29 PM PDT

When JVM spends %98 of it`s time to garbage collections and can not free more then %2 of the memory then an "Out of Memory" exception is thrown. Heap size (the memory space where the progam lives) is calculated according to physical memory. The initial heap size will be set to phys_mem / DefaultInitialRAMFraction. DefaultInitialRAMFraction is a command line option with a default value of 64.

For the Jeopardy project, I have been searching for the right toolkit. Swing is a well known, already tested option while SWT stands there as a sparkling, brand new toolkit, which has been the building blocks of Eclipse. I always knew that it would be a hard choice.

Jeopardy Project is in an early state. The most painful days are these because we have to make more people interested in our project. We need to provide a starting point.

Open Source Software... A dream that comes true. The only way to create something really valuable under no company pressure. The only way to code it as a hobby while communicating with the programmers from all over the world. One of the best way to improve computing skills. An ideal way to meet with the masters. A long way to walk... What about the human intelligence?

Everyone using linux (iptables command) should (at least once) wish to use a graphical interface which can be used from any place at any platform (even a cell phone). One unified user interface for all your linux based firewall management needs which can be accessed via a browser or used as an application.
