COLLECTED BY
Organization:
Stanford University, Islamic and Middle Eastern Collection
The Islamic and Middle Eastern (IME) collection includes resources in printed monographs, journals, audio and visual materials, and electronic databases plus related items for study and research about the Islamic World and the Middle East. The IME unit is responsible for acquiring these research materials from around the world in all major languages and processing them for availability and borrowing.
The collection comes from a long standing series of courses on the contemporary Middle East, along with transfers of materials from the renowned collection of the Hoover Institution Library on the Middle East collected over some 70 years. Since the merger of the two collections, the scope has grown with the establishment of endowed programs in Islamic Studies, Iranian Studies, and a newly added research center on the contemporary Middle East at the Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies.

Twitter, Open Source and the JVM
Posted on Tue, 2011-10-04 09:15
Today, we announced that Twitter is joining the Java Community Process (JCP) and OpenJDK project. The JVM and its rich ecosystem are critical to our infrastructure and have helped us scale up as a business. Additionally, the polyglot nature of the JVM allows programming languages such as Java, Scala, Ruby, Javascript and Clojure to coexist seamlessly and, thus, lets Twitter choose the optimal language for the task at hand.
As part of the OpenJDK project, we plan to contribute in the areas of performance and metrics gathering around garbage collection in the JVM. We’re looking forward to healthy collaboration with the open source community from companies like Apple, IBM, Oracle, SAP, Red Hat and individual contributors alike.
Be sure to check our Open Source pages for more information, and if you’re interested in working with Twitter-scale problems on top of the JVM, we’re hiring.
