Print a folders structure to file

I come to a tast to examine whole source code structure on SVN and propose restructure it to new layout. some projects were grouped in sub folders.

Install "tree" tool:
sudo apt-get install tree

Command to print tree, without temporary and useless folders, dig in 4th level:
tree -L 4 -d -I "target|webapp|doc|docs|site|src|deploy|sh|java|data|scripts|lib|conf|work|bin|web|webscr|META-INF|hibern|www|css|images|templates|test-conf" > structure.txt

Output is like:

├── auth
│   ├── apache-modules
│   │   ├── auth_client
│   │   │   └── test
│   │   ├── googleauth
│   │   │   └── example
│   │   ├── jansson-2.2
│   │   │   └── test
│   │   ├── m4
│   │   └── mod_some_auth
│   ├── auth-client
│   ├── auth-errors
│   ├── auth-server

Problem with switching LibeOffice windows by Alt+Tab and in vertical panel

Issue is open for this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/844119
Please vote to raise importance of this bug.

Workaround suggested Matthias Niess in bug comments:

switching works fine if open SpreadSheet from Dash and then open files from Cntl+O.

as an option you can install LibreOffice4 from official site - but in this case you loose Unity integration of menu, (instructions for installation).

update:
looks like fixed in latest ubuntu updates (March 2013), I aslo updated Libreoffice to 4.0 by http://www.webupd8.org/2013/03/install-libreoffice-40-in-ubuntu-1204.html

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-0
sudo apt-get update

.... and do install from ubuntu Center, and now Libreoffice works fine.

SevNTU Checkstyle version 1.6

We finished new version of our extension for Checkstyle - release 1.6.
I updated wiki pages to allow other developers easily join the project.
Read our publications, in Russian language, latest is for 1.5.3 release, for 1.6 will be soon.

Release 1.6.0 (21/October/2012):

LogicConditionNeedOptimizationCheck -  This check prevents the placement of local variables and fields after calling methods in '&&' and '||' conditions. Done by Ilja Dubinin.
Example:
"if (isVisible() && active)" == should be refactored to ==> "if (active && isVisible())"
Reason: swap of conditions expressions will be beneficial, but some time you can find logic that in isVisible() change 'active' variable value and this optimization will not be correct - but this is sign of bad  design!

ForbidCCommentsInMetods -  Check prevents usage of C-style (/* ... */) comments inside method body. If you have class declaration inside method body with JavaDoc you will get error too, that is sad side effect for now, but I did not met such cases for now, so I thunk it will be incentive to move class out. Done by Ilja Dubinin.
Reason: C-style of comments are problem for future investigation, it should be treated as DEBUG/temporal comments, but should be cleared finally.

InterfaceTypeParameterNameCheck -  Checks that interface type parameter(for template) names conform to a format specified by the format property. Default format is ^[A-Z]$. Done by Dmitry Gridyushko.
Reason: to avoid template types to be like <INPUT>, <CUSTOM>, <LISTENER> and force developer to name them by 1 letter <I>, <C>, <L>. to clearly indicate nature of variable in code down the file.

All details are here: http://sevntu-checkstyle.github.com/sevntu.checkstyle/
We will do bug fixing in 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 as always, please test and report bug ...... .

Ubuntu get popularity from other Linuxes

Ubuntu become more and more popular, but is it due to new users that come from Windows ?

I do believe to wikipedia statistics as it only resource that is visited by all internet user no matter what OS or browser they use.

data sources links:
http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportOperatingSystems.htm
http://stats.wikimedia.org/archive/squid_reports/2011-10/SquidReportOperatingSystems.htm

Result show that Ubuntu get popularity from other Linux systems, but we see 0.07% of grow :) in general.
Does it mean that Linux users become more lazy and choose Linux that works out-of-the-box, and fed-up with doing all from scratch ? or it is just statistical rounding that significant grow other OS in amount of users
red - decrease of popularity.
green - grow of popularity.
