OpenEJB 0.9.2 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=282705
The 0.9.2 release is one that the whole team is quite proud of. OpenEJB
0.9.0 marked are first release with special Tomcat embedded support.
Thanks to all the user feedback that support has just gotten better and
better. The 0.9.2 release contains a neat surprise for OpenEJB/Tomcat
users -- TOOLS! The new integration features a webapp with a setup
verifier, JNDI browser, EJB viewer, Class browser, and even an Object
invoker! You can browse the OpenEJB namespace and know right away
exactly where the ejb is and what it is called. When you find one you
like, just click it and it will open up into the EJB viewer. While
there you can check out it's home, remote and bean classes in the class
browser. The Object invoker allows you to actually create and invoke
your EJBs without writing a single line of code. OpenEJB 0.9.2 also
contains a new openejb.base variable to complement the openejb.home
variable. The openejb.base variable allows you to have several
configurations of OpenEJB all running against the same OpenEJB install.
This makes using OpenEJB in IDEs like Eclipse or NetBeans even easier.
Move the openejb_loader-0.9.2.jar into your project's lib directory,
set the openejb.base, and you'll be debugging your EJB apps
front-to-back without the need for remote debugging support or special
editor plug-ins. Thanks to all the OpenEJB users for all the great
ideas! You speak, we listen.

expect, final) *release candidate* for Gallery v.1.3.4. Changes from
RC1 essentially amount to small fixes for errors discovered since the
first release candidate in the backup_albums.php script and the new
"custom fields" code. Gallery is slick, intuitive web based photo
gallery with authenticated users and privileged albums. Easy to
install, configure and use. Photo management includes automatic
thumbnails, resizing, rotation, etc. User privileges make this great
for communities. Download it:

Did SCO 'Borrow' Linux Code?

An [0]Anonymous Reader writes "Apparently someone inside SCO has stated
that [1]SCO(actually Caldera) copied Linux code into System V. They did
it to build what they now market as Linux Kernel Personality - the
ability to run Linux software on their Unix. Now, the open source
community(of course they don't mention who) is jumping on this, because
they didn't return the changes to the OS community or give the
community credit. Of course, SCO says it's a misunderstanding and, get
this 'SCO also never used any of the Linux kernel code.'"

Hints for Planning a Network Gaming Marathon?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/10/217214
[0]Malfaetor asks: "Some friends and I are tentatively planning a
public Network Gaming Marathon (LAN Party, except for an entire
weekend) later this year, starting on a Friday night and ending the
following Sunday afternoon. We've already acquired a file server and
game servers, as well as did some testing on bandwidth usage of various
games. We've also queried local hotels for available conference rooms,
and thought about power consumption requirements, and so forth. I ask
this of my fellow Slashdot readers: If you have ever hosted or attended
a LAN party before, even if it was not of this scale, would you have
any input (or horror stories!) that could help to ensure we have not
overlooked anything? Any information you could provide would be greatly
appreciated!"

sychronous threads. It includes a scheduler and a facility for passing
messages among threads. Threads may run in a round robin or according
to a priority scheme. Each thread must voluntarily relinquish control
from time, via an ordinary function return, so that other threads can
run. Since the threads are synchronous, i.e. they don't interrupt each
other, they don't need to use semaphores, mutexes, critical sections,
or other facilities to keep from interfering with each other. One
version of Cheap Threads is designed for embedded systems.

DocLite is a simple documentation authoring system. It produces
multi-page HTML output in a style similar to that found in the Linux
HOTWTOs or other DocBook-created documents. DocLite processes a single
XML file into a number of separate HTML pages, and it creates a
contents page that contains links to the various topics within each
page. The idea is to produce usable documentation with a minimum of
hassle.
DOLFIN 0.3.7
http://freshmeat.net/releases/125606/
DOLFIN is used as a platform for research in adaptive finite element
methods for PDEs at Chalmers Finite Element Center and at the

that is running the Dr.Cat daemon (drcatd) to stdout in the clients
terminal. It authenticates users versus the standard shadow password
authentication facility and spawns a process with that users
permissions to attempt to access the requested file. If the file exists
and the user has the necessary permissions the file is sent to stdout
on the clients terminal; otherwise it returns "file not
found".
EmPy 3.0.1
http://freshmeat.net/releases/125540/
EmPy is a system for embedding Python expressions and statements in
template text. It takes an EmPy source file, processes it, and produces
output. This is accomplished via expansions, which are special signals
to the EmPy system and are set off by a special prefix (by default the
at sign, '@'). It can expand arbitrary Python expressions and
statements in this way, as well as a variety of special forms. Textual
data not explicitly delimited in this way is sent unaffected to the
output, allowing Python to be used in effect as a markup language. Also
supported are callbacks via hooks, recording and playback via
diversions, and dynamic, chainable filters. The system is highly
configurable via command line options and embedded commands.
EXACT 1.34
http://freshmeat.net/releases/125583/
EXACT is a program that implements POP-before-SMTP relay
authentication. It supports UW-imap, Qpopper, Cyrus, Perdition, EXIM,

ZoneMinder 0.9.12
http://freshmeat.net/releases/125569/
ZoneMinder is a suite of applications intended for use in video camera
security applications, including theft prevention and child or family
member monitoring. It supports capture, analysis, recording, and
monitoring of video data coming from one or more cameras attached to a
Linux system. It also features a user-friendly Web interface which
allows viewing, archival, review, and deletion of images and movies
captured by the cameras. The image analysis system is highly
configurable, permitting retention of specific events, while
eliminating false positives. ZoneMinder supports both directly
connected and network cameras and is built around the definition of a
set of individual 'zones' of varying sensitivity and functionality for
each camera. This allows the elimination of regions which should be
ignored or the definition of areas which will alarm if various
thresholds are exceeded in conjunction with other zones. All
management, control, and other functions are supported through the Web
interface.
Slashcode
Handling logging issues
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/22/0533218
I'm using cronolog for my apache logs, and I really, really like it.
I'd like to be able to use it on the slash logs as well, which become
large and cumbersome over time with many sites running on a server. How
do you all handle your logs? What do you use for log rotation? How long
do you keep logs? Is anyone using cronolog, or something like it with
slash?
RSS to Story?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/21/1727241
Hi, I'm looking for a way to grab remote RDF and post them as stories.
portald seems only to handle blocks. I'm aware of the elixus.org, and
the RSS2Story plugin in their patch of slashcode, but I can't get the
plugin installed, and it seems to be left unfinished. So is there any
other way to do this?
launch of slash site "stupidsecurity.com"
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/18/2133212
Announcing the opening of StupidSecurity.com. The site is meant to be a
chronicle of idiotic and deceptive "security" measures. From the "three
questions" that the airlines finally stopped asking to the closing of
Meigs Airport in Chicago supposedly for security reasons, we want YOUR
gripes about security measures that are just plain dumb! I'd welcome
submissions (the stupider the better!), comments, complaints, and
praise!
MySQL 4.1+
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/16/1639224
I want to start using MySQL 4.1 to take advantage of the new Spatial
extensions in MySQL to further enhance my plugin. I saw the recent
story referring to using MySQL 4, but no direct mention of experience
with versions 4+. Any tips or recommendations? Should I make the
upgrade only on my development box, or is using 4+ okay. Any experience
with 4.1, which is alpha?
Section-specific Quick Links
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/16/1540217
I'm in the process of setting up a intranet Slash 2 site for a company.
With the aid of the Crow Book I've got everything installed and with
the L'n'F that they want, and we are in the process of adding some
initial content and getting the blocks running the way they want.
However, we're having problems getting section-specific quick links
blocks to work. Example: I have a section called legal, and a block
called legal_qlinks which has different links to index_qlinks.
index_qlinks shows up on the homepage as I expect, but nothing is
displayed in the right "frame" if I click no the section title under an
article. What am I doing wrong? The Crow Book (page 127) suggests that
this should work.
Need help building Slash templates
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/13/1634251
I have comps for a site I want built in Slash. While I have worked with
Movable Type, building Slash templates is a whole different beast. I
need someone to help me convert my comps into a functioning Slash site.
If you have these skills, please drop me a line with your rates and
scheduling availability. You can see what the site will look like here.

Preventing duplicates from being posted
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/10/2021250
I'm getting sick of seeing duplicate posts all the time on Slashdot. I
have a feature-request/enhancement that I would like to request for
slashcode. It would be nice if before a moderator submits a story to
check all of the URLS in that post and match it with the previous
weeks/months stories for the same URL. If there is a match, throw up a
warning saying that this story is a possible duplicate. This will help
the moderator out too, since they wouldn't have to read every story on
slashdot in the past two weeks. What do you think? Is this doable?

Vorlonspace Is Back
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/08/0415234
Announced back in October last year, Vorlonspace was launched as a
Babylon 5 discussions site. In late January, the site went down and was
taken off the YASS list. It is now back up and the premise has changed
from Babylon 5 to a general sci-fi discussion site which has generated
more interest.
Adding ispell after slash is installed
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/08/0414234
Hi, I read the (archived) thread at:
http://ask.slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/03/22/1 724238&mode=thread
and I have "Running Weblogs with Slash", so I know that "... Slash 2.2
has added an ispell compatibility mode. If the ispell program exists
and points to an ispell binary, the Edit Story page will include a list
of potentially misspelled words.)" (thanks blagger), but I don't know
how exactly what to add, and into what directory,. I installed freebsd
5.0, then built and installed the slashcode port, and now I've
installed ispell. I then tried adding symlinks to ispell into various
directories, including /usr/local/slash/bin, and restarting my browser
and the freebsd box. Nothing obvious changes. Can someone tell me
exactly which file to put where to enable spell-checking? I'm running
slash-2.2.6 on Freebsd 5.0. Thanks... P.S. Sorry if I misspelled
anything, but...
Shouldn't Slash Be Represented at OSCOM 3?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/02/171253
I found out that OSCOM 3, The Open Source Content Management
Conference, is taking place in Cambridge, MA, from May 28-30. I was
surprised to see that Slash does not appear to be represented in any
way. I posted a story to CTDATA suggesting that our community try to
represent itself in some fashion. If anyone wants to discuss how we can
influence the organizers of this conference to include a Slash
presentation, please email me at dave_aiello at ctdata.com.
