Every wish that you could do more for Fedora?

Well now you can! I have been working tirelessly behind the scene with a major biological research conglomerate to develop
the new Fedora User Cloning Kit

Here's a preview picture of the F.U.C. Kit:

With the provided materials, you'll be able to germinate or grow, or whatever it is you do to clone up to a dozen identical versions of yourself. There's a new cocktail of growth hormones from several plant and animal species which accelerate the growth process. With in 6 months you'll have a crop, or litter, or clutch or whatever you call a group of batched brewed human clones who are fully mature and functional Fedora users... just in time for Fedora's next release. We upped the hormone dosages specifically to meet the demands of the 6 month Fedora release cycle.

What it cost you ask? MSRP is going to around $35,000 US dollars per unit, which is a bargain for an animal tissue cloning lab with this level of sophistication..especially for our European contributors that's like 3 Euros or something.. I'm not really big on the details of the economics of it..all I know is its a bargain. We can offer a price that low because we expect a HUGE number of Fedora contributors to be interested in this particular product. We've taken a head count, and we've used the standard American shopping mall polling group survey approaches. Fedora contributors are passionate about the work they are doing.. and they want to do more but just don't have enough time. Well we can't actually expand the number of hours in the day..yet..I'm working on it..., but with clones you'll be able to do more with the time you have!

It even comes with a cassette tape with instructions! How cool is that. I think we can all agree that I've thought of everything. Well not everything. This is a Fedora User Cloning Kit.. not a Contributor Cloning Kit. F. U. C. IT technology will produce a human being with the genetic propensity to value open development, and a tendency to want to be involved with the Fedora project. Left to their own devices, your clones would eventually gather enough knowledge and experience to be effective and responsible contributors to the Fedora project... just as you have.

But you don't have to wait for your clones to complete the same learning process that you did. If you act now and buy the addtional Memory Of Contributor Kit. M. O. C. Kit allows for easy transfer of your hard earned experience into any number of force grown clones that you have on hand. The burning sensation you feel when M. O. C. Kit is active is the feeling of increased personal productivity. The strong, surfuric odor that you may smell while M. O. C. Kit is extracting and cataloguing your knowledge, is just a phantom by product of its harmless but aggressive transversal of your neural pathways. The smell will not linger, but the sweet fruits of its activity will in the form of multiple fully functional Fedora contributors who have your entire store of existing knowledge. Sure a few mental pathways might be burned out in the process. But you probably didn't even know they existed, and compared to the level of burnout you'd experience if you tried to do as much as just a single clone of you would be able to do.. well, the burnout ratio is staggeringly in favor of the cloning.

For contributors who can afford it...the application of the M.O.C Kit technology to the results off the F. U. C. Kit will finally make it possible to multiple their personal commitment to the project without 'completely' burning themselves out.

LinuxDay 2008

There will be a small event in Austria near the Swiss, German, and Lichtenstein border with around 1000 visitors. It's called LinuxDay (they use the same name as in Italy).

Location : University of Applied Sciences, Dornbirn, Austria
Date : November, 29 2008
Time : 09:00 till 18:00

The Fedora Project was never present before at this event. I would like to see a Fedora booth or Fedora table there. If you are interested to represent Fedora at this event, please drop me a line. The deadline for the "Call for papers" will be at the end of September. Because of that
I would like to make a decision within the next two or three weeks if Fedora will be there or not.

Youtube Cache Version 0.3 is available

A new improved version of youtube cache is available now. This version fixes few bugs related to configuration files and removes the httpd (apache web browser) dependency. Soon, youtube cache will implement caching of other video sites like google, blip.tv etc. Also, the configuration file has been moved from /etc/sysconfig/youtube_cache.conf to /etc/youtube_cache.conf because there is no sysconfig directory on debian derivatives.

Developing embedded system, a brand new experience - Preamble

I never tried my hand on embedded systems, until I finished my one year coursework.

Generally, in India, you have to do a one year coursework followed by a one year development work to get your Masters degree.

So one day, probably early June, I was called upon by my guide.

I was told that if I was interested, he would like to assign me with the development work of a novel type of router. WOW!!! That is fun, I thought.

It turned out that its more than that. I was told that I was in a one member team. The work was new, no reference is available, and though I am entitled to help, I have to learn up mostly by myself and also teach my guide.

Now, this IS fun.

So time to download datasheet, blowing up a few PIC16F877, heating up your iron and making a JDM programmer, learn up embedded C programming and sdcc.

In the subsequent blogs, I shall write whatever I could learn and am learning in the process, not only to share but also with an ulterior motivation of keeping a draft documentation.

Feliz Cumpleaños Compact Discs!

El dia de hoy cumple años el Compact Disc. 26 en total.

Estos discos “compactos” han sido el principal medio en el que se distribuye Fedora, desde sus inicios (en 4 CDs!) hasta ahora, que ya viene en 1 DVD, en 1 Live CD (Disco “Vivo”), o hasta en una usb de 1GB!

El formato se ve que no caerá en mucho tiempo, ya que se sigue utilizando en la venta de discos de música y en lo personal, para los LiveCDs de Fedora.

Fedora Foundations part 4: First

I am drawing to an end with the exploration of Fedora’s Foundations with this post about First.

Fedora is often the first mainstream distribution to target new features. For instance Fedora was the first mainstream distribution to enable SELinux by default, support the latest version of X.org, have mobile broadband card support in Network Manager and a host of other things. However this is transitory and Fedora isn’t always the first, so this at best an interesting anecdotal footnote.
What the term first really means in this context is that Fedora leads. Fedora leads in efforts for Free Software as evidenced by the work with Zimbra of late, and the current ongoing efforts to clean up the older perl packages licensed under the Artistic license.
Fedora also leads in maturing new features. It’s shocking how often people expect for Fedora and its user and developer communities to work out all of the kinks of some new feature. Fedora’s reputation is all about rapid innovation and progress.

Fedora also places a heavy emphasis on putting “first things first” or having their priorities straight. Everyone may not agree with Fedora’s principles, but Fedora makes no bones about adhering to those principles - keeping things like community ownership, software freedom, and rapid innovation at the forefront.

Tip: Calling C functions directly with "noalloc"

In OCaml you can call a C function by writing:


external call_1 : float -> float = "call_1"

then just using call_1. However these calls are not direct. They go via an OCaml runtime function called caml_c_call. This is a tiny bit of assembler, so the overhead isn't large, but it does use a computed jump which on many processors is quite slow.

Luckily this indirection is only needed in order to set up the garbage collector. If your C function won't perform any OCaml allocations, then you don't need this, and you can tell OCaml to jump directly to your C function like this:


external call_2 : float -> float = "call_2" "noalloc"

Let's compare the generated assembly code for the calls in both cases:


Normal                                    "noalloc"       

pushl   %eax                              pushl   %eax
movl    $call_1, %eax                     call    call_2
call    caml_c_call                       addl    $4, %esp
addl    $4, %esp
   ...
caml_c_call:
movl    (%esp), %edx
movl    %edx, G(caml_last_return_address)
leal    4(%esp), %edx
movl    %edx, G(caml_bottom_of_stack)
jmp     *%eax

As you can see, the "noalloc" version is much shorter.

Fedora Weekly Webcomic: Stats and samples

A few days ago when the number of pre-registration for the Brno FUDCon reached 100 people (now there are a very few more), it was very inviting to make statistics based on it, even if the sample is not representative and the results wrong... or aren't they?

My GSoC 2008 application is getting finishing touches

Yes baby, my GSoC 2008 application is getting finishing touches! That was a great experience for me. I have been talking with amazing people over all these months of work and I hope to continue contribute on this nice project called Transifex.

The Localization is the first point for people be able to get a great accessibility over programs. Yes, I know, you can believe me! I’m still an English student, but hopefully, I’m able to write some simple English texts and read other ones, even with some mistakes, but it was not always thus. Well, have you never been on a situation where you simply couldn’t understand anything, because you didn’t have a localized user interface? If you haven’t, then you are a lucky guy, or perhaps a very respectable polyglot.

That kind of thing happen every time everywhere we can imagine. We have several languages around the world and most people only speak your native language. Around 95% of people in the world have a native language other than English. So, how does it make a program usefully for the most people? A program with i18n support can make the difference in these cases.

Localized stuff make things easier, accessible. Users can read, browse, find information and mainly they can understand things. It points me to think as would be easy to me write this post in Brazilian Portuguese, surely I could explain all my ideas more clearly. What do I mean? Basically I mean a localized environment ‘make people feel at home’.

So, what have I been doing to make Transifex a powerfully tool to manager translations around the world? Well, thanks some helps from amazing community guys on this WoC (Winter of Code) to me, we got some things done, including a new Transifex Release 0.3.

However, before listing a summary of my work on Transifex until now, I would like to thanks Dimitris Glezos to encourage me to apply for this GSoC and also for all support, Asgeir Frimannsson to mentor me, the Fedora Infrastructure Team for some many times that I have been boring them on #fedora-admin, People that have had comment on this blog, Fedora Project for be an amazing project and finally Google for a Winter of Code.

Now, lets summarize all my work for the Transfex development:

Full i18n support in both templates and database

Support for editing repositories - the editing modules part will be implemented soon, after some changes in the model version 2.

Switched templating language from Kid to Genshi

Switched widget library to ToscaWidgets

Unit testing

AJAX: Widgets for AjaxForm with client-side validation

AJAX: Async module checkout on Refresh button

AJAX: Async file upload on the submit form

Bellow we have a list of all commits to my development branch:

Rev: 366 - Initial Ajax Support: Client-side validation, async file upload and refresh button for submit form

Rev: 365 - Minor: Added ‘transifex.egg-info’ and ‘*.directory’ to the .hgignore file

Rev: 305 - Submit form fixed to work with TW and Genshi.

Rev: 304 - A fix around the i18n support for the new structure with two directories for view and data potfiles.

Rev: 303 - Merging with the last Christos’s changes

Rev: 302 - POTfiles splitted into two separated directories (view and data).

Rev: 301 - Added the new POTfiles splitted

Rev: 300 - Potfiles for database added.

Rev: 299 - Some fixes around i18n support for the repo form

Rev: 298 - The i18n.py has been changed to handle two separated POTfiles (view and database).

Rev: 297 - Library versions added

Rev: 296 - Some fixes for repo edition

Rev: 290 - Added some changes around the modules forms by Christos.

Rev: 289 - Edit repo added. Now it’s possible to edit the repos.

Rev: 286 - The modules and repositories forms were migrated to use ONLY ToscaWidgets. It doesn’t need dbsprockets lib anymore.

Rev: 285 - Merge Dimitris’s changes

Rev: 284 - New POT and PO files generated by the new i18n.py script. The files are cleaner now.

Rev: 283 - Replaced some tabs for spaces. We must never mix tabs and spaces.

Rev: 282 - For now, when a module is added it has only a branch. So, we don’t need to check if it’s a list. By Asgeir.

Rev: 281 - Cleaning…It’s not needed

Rev: 279 - Now the descriptions and summaries of modules and repos are put directly into the POT file.

Rev: 278 - Changed modules url of the module datagrid

Rev: 277 - Added all modules and repos of Fedora Project instance to the POT/PO files

Rev: 269 - Some fixes around the i18n support for the forms and others minor fixes

Rev: 268 - Need to work with SQLAlchemy 0.4.x

Rev: 267 - Repository and Modules forms migrated to dbsprockets

Rev: 266 - Datagrids moved to ToscaWidgets

Rev: 265 - It doesn’t need filter to select all entries

Rev: 264 - If ToscaWidgets is installed we need to declare gettext explicitly to be used into the templates

Rev: 263 - Some configs to work with SQLAlchemy 0.4.x

Rev: 262 - Added Genshi configs to the sample-dev.cfg

Rev: 261 - Genshi and SQLAlchemy branches merged

Rev: 235 - Added i18n support (on Genshi)

Rev: 234 - Initial Genshi migration. We need to fix the widgets and possibles problems with ‘py:attrs’ yet.

Rev: 233 - A CSS fix

Rev: 137 - Menu Changes:

Rev: 136 - Fixing a space error

Rev: 135 - Change a link to the correct form

BTW, you can take this list of commits running the following command in my Transifex repository:

hg log –template ‘{author}Rev: {rev} - {desc}\n’ |grep diegobz|sed -e “s/Diego Búrigo Zacarão <diegobz@$projetofedora.org\|fedoraproject.org$>//”

That’s it! I hope my work can make some difference for the Open Source and Free Software as them make the difference to me! Definitely, to be an Open Source and Free Software enthusiast is rock, you can work and know rock people!! Now, it’s the time to attend FUDCon 2008 Brno and then stay in Greece coding for a while. The work continue!

Thanks all!!!

Πρόγραμμα υποτροφιών Fedora

Lamp (source: Echo icon theme)

Πριν μερικές ημέρες ανακοινώσαμε το Πρόγραμμα υποτροφιών Fedora, μια πρωτοβουλία με στόχο να αναγνωρίσουμε την προσφορά φοιτητών στο ελεύθερο λογισμικό και το Fedora. Μέσω του προγράμματος αυτού, το Fedora θέλει να βοηθήσει και να παροτρύνει τη συμβολή νέων, ταλαντούχων συντελεστών στο μεγάλο τοπίο του ελεύθερου λογισμικού.

Τα άτομα που θα κερδίσουν μια υποτροφία θα λάβουν χρηματικό ποσό για την κάλυψη των φοιτητικών εξόδων στην ανώτερη ή ανώτατη εκπαίδευση τους, και επιπλέον θα έχουν την ευκαιρία να ταξιδέψουν και να συμμετάσχουν στο Fedora User and Developer Conference της περιοχής τους.

Τη φετινή υποτροφία έχει κερδίσει ο Ricky Zhou, η προσφορά του οποίου τον τελευταίο χρόνο ήταν ιδιαίτερα σημαντική στις ομάδες Infrastructure και Websites του Fedora. Ο Ricky έχει επανηλημμένως παρέχει πολύτιμες συμβουλές για το deployment του Transifex στους servers του Fedora. Αν έχει τύχει να παρακολουθήσετε μια πρόσφατη μου ομιλία, το πιο πιθανό είναι να έχετε ακούσει να αναφέρομαι σε αυτόν ως το άτομο που έχει λύσει τα χέρια σε πολλές προκλήσεις που είχαμε αντιμετωπίσει στη διαχείριση των εξυπηρετητών του Fedora.

Για την υποτροφία του 2009-2010, οι υποψήφιοι που μπορούν να υποβάλουν αίτηση είναι όσοι ξεκινούν τις ακαδημαϊκές τους σπουδές το φθινόπωρο του 2009. Οι αιτήσεις θα κριθούν από την επιτροπή επιλογής βάσει της προσφοράς των υποψηφίων στο Fedora και άλλα έργα ελεύθερου λογισμικού.

Αν είσαι λοιπόν μαθητής 2ας ή 3ης λυκείου και τα απογεύματα σου τα περνάς με code hacking στην κοινότητα του Fedora, ρίξε μια ματιά στη σελίδα του προγράμματος υποτροφιών.

Keep hacking!

Secondary Architectures

There is many different types of cpu's out there. From SPARC to Alpha, Arm to s390. Most people run i386 or x86_64, how can you get a distro for your favorite exotic preference? Fedora has been doing a lot of work to allow interested people to build and support the architecture of their choice. Work has been going on for arm, alpha, ia64, s390, and SPARC. This paper will cover what has been done to enable motivated people to bring up and support new architectures. The same tools used to make Fedora can be used to layer products on top of Fedora also. Interested in MIPS, PA-RISC, or just want to know what is involved in putting together a distro.

bicycle nomenclature pedantry

I will routinely get corrected by various bicycling afficianados if I refer to the thing you sit on as a “seat”. They, of course, say “It’s a saddle, not a seat”.

So my question is this. Why are the parts of the frame called a seat tube and seat stays if the thing you sit on is not a seat?

encrypted rootfs vs suspend/resume

RANT MODE ON

So one of the things people have been wanting for a while is an encryted root filesystem.

Now this isn't some sort of security saviour and I was just chatting to a few people on irc and realised the pain we need to go through to actually make it secure and useable in the face of other things.

Scenario: You have a laptop, you want to "secure", you use an encrypted rootfs because the forums told you to. Now Linux suspend/resume support gets good enough that you don't ever reboot. So when the laptop is suspended where are they encryption keys?
oh they are in the RAM? oh thats nice. Even when the laptop is resumed, where are they? oh look a screensaver is stopping me from logging in.

Solution: remove enc keys on suspend - ask the user for them again on resume. - sounds easy.

How do we ask for the keys then?

Currently in Fedora we plan to ask for the keys in the initrd. This works fine if you are using an English based language and keyboard. What happens if you want to use some of your own language like Chinese. Oh you want input methods so you can type that in do you? Oh we need X. Oh lets put X in the initrd. Oh lets migrate lots of the supporting bits into the initrd. Hey wait a minute half my encrypted root is now in an unencrypted initrd. WELCOME TO DRINKIN' ISLAND!.

So maybe some sort of encrypted overlay on top of an unencrypted rootfs that can bring up enough X to type the password in might be a better plan in sane universe where different parts of the OS talk to each other.

RANT ENDS.

Utiliser OpenDNS sous Linux

Le DNS (Domain Name System) permet d’associer des adresses Internet à des noms d’hôtes. En gros, cela permet de gérer les adresses des sites (ex: www.tux-planet.fr) ou encore des noms de machines sur un réseau.

Cet article explique comment utiliser OpenDNS, une excellente alternative aux serveurs DNS des fournisseurs d’accès, qui offrent une multitude d’avantages pour l’utilisateur.

1. Utilisation d'OpenDNS sous Linux

Ouvrez un terminal en root et lancez les commandes suivantes :

cp /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.save
echo "nameserver 208.67.222.222" > /etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 208.67.220.220" >> /etc/resolv.conf

2. Cas particulier

Si vous possédez un routeur qui fait aussi serveur DHCP sur votre réseau personnel ou que vous êtes sur un réseau d'entreprise, il faudra alors reconfigurer ce dernier afin qu'il utilise les adresses de OpenDNS (dns primaire : 208.67.222.222 et dns secondaire : 208.67.220.220) et qu'il les propage à l'ensemble des machines se trouvant sur le réseau.

Plus d'aide sur la configuration d'OpenDNS est disponible ici :
https://www.opendns.com/start

3. Avantages offerts par OpenDNS

En plus d'utiliser les DNS de ce service, il est également possible d'ouvrir un compte sur le site OpenDNS, afin d'avoir accès à une console d'administration qui vous permettra par exemple :

- d'obtenir des statistiques d'utilisation, comme le nombre de requêtes DNS, ou encore voir clairement l'activité du réseau.

- de choisir plusieurs niveaux de sécurité : protection anti-fishing, anti-pornographie, ou encore bloquer les réseaux illégaux. Il est possible aussi de bloquer directement certains domaines.

- d'activer ou non la correction des erreurs de frappe (google.cmo → google.com).

- de créer des raccourcis en fonction d'un mot clé. Une fois créé, les utilisateurs pourront simplement taper les mots clés dans la barre d'adresses de leur navigateur pour arriver directement sur le site souhaité.

A noter que quand vous voulez joindre un nom de domaine qui n'existe pas, vous êtes redirigé sur une page d'OpenDNS qui sert de moteur de recherche (c'est d'ailleurs grâce aux pubs se trouvant sur cette page que OpenDNS gagne de l'argent).

Après plusieurs semaines d'utilisation, le service semble très fiable (aucune coupure) et très sécurisé car ces derniers on réagit très rapidement à la faille qui a touché les serveurs DNS dernièrement.

En revanche, contrairement à ce que l'on peut lire un peu partout, OpenDNS n'est pas plus rapide que le DNS de mon fournisseur d'accès (Free). L'utilisation de la commande dig permet de mettre cela en évidence.

Durée d'un requête DNS avec OpenDNS :

[root@xblade ~]# dig a www.tux-planet.fr | grep time
;; Query time: 41 msec

Durée d'une requête DNS avec Free :

[root@xblade ~]# dig a www.tux-planet.fr | grep time
;; Query time: 34 msec

Mais bon, un utilisateur humain ne fera pas la différence lors de sa navigation sur Internet.

4. Conclusion

OpenDNS me semble donc une très bonne solution pour les réseaux domestiques ou pour les réseaux de petites entreprises, notamment grâce à ces fonctions de filtrage et de sécurité qui facile la vie des administrateur réseaux.

duh-v-r

The time-warner DVR is painfully bad, and attempts at recording the olympics makes this even more obvious.

Various highlights:

- not recording anything for three days? The fix: hit the soft power on/off to “power cycle” it. Awesome.

- Deleting a recorded show _while_ I was watching it. 85% of the way done and black screen, go to the the “list” and the shows are gone. Awesome.

- There is no real way to prioritize season passes. The latest stuff is always higher priority. You have to delete a a show and readd it to the list to make it a higher priority. Awesome.

- If I’m watching something “live” (say, the olympics) I should be able to pause/rewind. Thats what DVR’s do. But no, this only sometimes works.

- It crashes alot. Weekly at least, sometimes more.

- The UI. Aiiiieee.

Anyone using a HD Tivo with time-warner? Any particular hassles I liked my old non-hd tivo’s alot.
