During this year, I worked in the Linux version of the IBM ServerGuide Scripting Toolkit (SGSTK), one of the tools from IBM System x® ToolsCenter. The SGSTK is a collection of system-configuration tools and installation scripts that you can use to deploy software to your IBM eServer or xSeries server in a repeatable, predictable manner.
After two older releases this year, today we release the version 2.00 of the SGSTK. This version is very special for the development team, because we worked hard to develop a new framework, more stable, robust and (why not?) beauty, than the older one. You can download it from here.
Last Friday, October 24th, IBM released the IBM SDK for Multicore Acceleration Version 3.1 (a.k.a Cell SDK 3.1) with support to two different Linux® distributions (RHEL 5.2 and Fedora 9) and in three different package bundles: Product, Developer, and Extras.
As reported here, about 1 month ago I was replaced to the Cell IDE project, and the IDE is one of the great number of SDK’s packages.

After 46 days away, I returned yesterday to work. On August, 2nd I broke my left arm playing soccer at the IBM Cup and I could not work.
During this time offline, I was moved to the Cell IDE project. Cell IDE is a set of Eclipse plug-ins that integrate the Cell Broadband Engine tool chain and enable rapid building of Cell Broadband Engine applications, and it is included in the IBM SDK for Multicore Acceleration.
This change is good for me, once in my master’s project I’m working with transactional memories applied to the Cell processor and other multicore processors. I guess this new project gives me a lot of opportunity and changes to grow up.
Last July 31, André Macêdo, Alex Zanetti and I organized a kind of different happy hour. We invite all the LTCers to participate of a contest: the King of Mustache. As Lucas Meneghel and Tiago Bauermann mentioned, the competition was fierce as you can see here.
The main idea was to group the guys from LTC in a nice and fun happy hour. The competition had about 15 guys looking for to be the king. The man with the best mustache was Daniel Debonzi (or Fred Mercury, or Mario Bros.). He has seven more votes than me (second place) as you can see here.
At the end the idea was wonderful. We could group the major part of the LTC Brazil team, and had a nice moment of integration. Now it’s time to wait to the next year contest, that will be organized by the king ;-{D
Juntamente com meu camaradas André Macêdo e Alex Zanetti, organizei no último dia 31 de Julho o evento do ano, o Baile do Bigode.
A idéia era a de reunir o pessoal do LTC em um happy hour, com uma brincadeira a mais, uma eleição do Rei do Bigode. Sendo assim, cerca de 15 pessoas se candidataram a ser o rei, e juntando a galera (LTCers, amigos, namoradas, esposas, etc) que foi no Quintal do Neto, fizemos uma votação. O eleito desse ano, foi o Daniel Debonzi. Eu fiquei em segundo lugar, com sete votos a menos (veja o resultado aqui).
No geral a iniciativa foi boa. Reunimos um grande número de pessoas, brincamos, jogamos sinuca e a noite foi gostosa. Agora é só esperar o baile do ano que vem, que segundo as regras, será organizaado pelo atual rei ;-{D
