EVMS 2.1.0 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=289226
The EVMS team is announcing the next major release of the Enterprise
Volume Management System. Package 2.1.0 is now available for download.
This release is for the new EVMS design, which is based on user-space
volume discovery and communication with existing kernel drivers, such
as MD/Software-RAID and Device-Mapper. Downloads at the project page:
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/evms/ Please see the INSTALL file
in the 2.1.0 package for information about installing and getting
started with the new EVMS. Since this new design is based on user-space
discovery, there will no longer be boot-time volume activation. Please
see the INSTALL file for information about how to activate your volumes
using the EVMS user-interfaces and utilities. The INSTALL file also
contains instructions for how users may easily "upgrade" an existing
2.4 kernel with Device-Mapper and EVMS 2.0.1 patches. Please see the
README file in the 2.1.0 package for more detailed notes concerning
this release and it's new features. EVMS 2.1.0 is supported on 2.4.21,
2.4.20, 2.4.19, and 2.5.73 kernels. If you have any questions, find any
bugs, or simply want to report success stories, please send email to
the EVMS mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or visit the EVMS IRC
channel (irc.freenode.net, #evms). Please see the notes and changelog

SOURCEFORGE.NET UPDATE - 2003-06-20 EDITION
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=289543
0. Intro. 1. Improved Search. 2. Project of the month: Megamek. 3.
Updated Project Registration System. 4. New RSS Feeds. 5. Stats and Top
Projects.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear SourceForge.net, One of our biggest challenges in managing
SourceForge.net has been handling our growth. With approximately 70 new
Open Source Projects and 700 new registered users being added to the
site each day, it can be quite a trick trying to stay ahead of the
curve. This month I want to mention two improvements that are
noteworthy. The first is project search. You can read about it below,
but essentially the average time for searching for projects (using the
left navbar) been reduced from 30 seconds to 1 second. The second is
the beginning of the process of weeding out "dead" projects. These are
projects that haven't had any real activity in the past 6 months and
have never released any files. This is a big change for us. When
SourceForge.net was started over 3 1/2 years ago, the vision was that
it would be the permanent record of Open Source Software - Nothing
would be deleted. We held on to the mission so strongly that we never
developed internal tools to delete projects. Now with over 63,000+
projects and 70 new ones being added daily, we do realize that not
-every- project has taken root. The real crusty/vacant ones (haven't
released files and have zero activity) will be put in a queue for
removal. This process will be done very carefully; we will give the
registered admins of the project ample warning and the ability to
'opt-out' of the removal. The upside for the SourceForge.net community
is that soon things will be a bit cleaner around here. Search results
will list less dead projects and the software map will be easier to
traverse. We still have some growing pains, but I hope you enjoy these
latest improvements. I want to thank you for supporting SourceForge.net
and the Open Source community. As always if you have some feedback or
issues related to the site, please feel free to email me directly at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Patrick McGovern Director, SF.NET [EMAIL PROTECTED] Improved
Project Search --------------------------------------------- As
SourceForge.net continues to have significant growth in the size of its
user base, count of hosted projects, and daily activity, a significant
amount of work is done by the SourceForge.net team to ensure suitable
site performance and to work to resolve existing performance problems.
The SourceForge.net team is happy to announce that the "Software/group
search" facility is now operating in a more proper and functional
manner. Searches are now performed in real time and last only seconds.
Search users should no longer encounter the dreaded "search server is
overloaded" messages previously offered during peak traffic hours. The
SourceForge.net team expects to further expand the search facility in
the near future, and to increase the frequency of search updates
(currently twice-weekly) to better meet the needs of our hosted
projects. Your patience has been appreciated; we hope you enjoy your
search results... http://sourceforge.net/search/ Project of the Month:
MegaMek --------------------------------------------- The
SourceForge.net team loves games. Our favorites are online, net-based
games that offer the ability to battle friends and foes from all over
from world. SourceForge.net's June 2003 project of the month, MegaMek,
is a Java based networkable game for 2 or more players. It's a
strategic game that features brains over fast reflexes. The Software,
licensed under the GPL, has enjoyed a position in the top 25 SF.net
most active projects since it's founding in February 2002. With new
features being added daily, MegaMek is a project to keep an eye on.
http://sourceforge.net/potm/potm-2003-06.php Updated Project
Registration System ---------------------------------------------
SourceForge.net provides hosting for Open Source software development
projects. Each day, SourceForge.net evaluates more than 100 new
projects for hosting. Historically, there have been a number of
pitfalls in this process. In particular, ensuring that each new project
registration contains enough information to be properly considered by
the SourceForge.net team without the added delay of asking the
submitter for more information. Delays due to lack of information
previously impacted roughly 15% of our new project registrations,
causing these registrations to take more than our ideal two business
days to be processed fully. The project registration system on
SourceForge.net has recently been completely rewritten, integrating
fixes for all previously-reported issues (in the past couple of years)
and generally making the process more seamless for the submitter. Based
on information collected during the early stages of the project
registration process, the project registration system automatically
advises you as to what should be included in your project description,
and helps to bring potential pitfalls to your attention before the
registration request is submitted. Users of our past project
registration pages will note a larger amount of integrated
documentation, the ability to easily return to earlier stages in the
process without losing entered data, and the capability to review the
information you have provided (and make necessary changes) before
submitting it to the SourceForge.net team for consideration. We hope
these changes will help make the process of registering a project on
SourceForge.net easier to understand, and help us to further improve
the turnaround time on hosting requests. New RSS Feeds.
--------------------------------------------- This is information from
the last sitewide email, but we think it's worth repeating. A
convenient way to keep up-to-date with the SourceForge.net site,
project news, activity information, and new projects is now available.
SourceForge.net provides a number of RSS feeds that may be accessed
using an RSS reader or aggregator (some content management systems also
allow you include data from an RSS feed on your website, much as
Slashdot and Freshmeat do in the right sidebar of their layout). Using
these RSS feeds, you can keep up-to-date with the latest project news
and file releases, Site Status updates and SourceForge.net statistics
(such as top projects). Project-specific RSS feeds may now be accessed
using the "View list of RSS feeds available for this project" link on
the Summary page for each project. Information about the full set of
the available SourceForge.net RSS feeds (14 feeds, in all), including
information on the software needed to view RSS feed data and a complete
list of the options available for each RSS feed, may be found at:

Nobel Prize Winners on Sci-Fi Flicks
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/06/1825209
scientistguy writes "In case you missed it, Harold Varmus, [0]Nobel
prize winning retrovirologist and cancer biologist, former [1]NIH
director, and current [2]head of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer
Center, has written a [3]review of [4]28 Days Later in this weekend's
[3]New York Times. One would think that his time is more valuably spent
running important medical institutions, searching for new cancer
insights/cures, etc, but the dude's also an English lit major and has a
penchant for sci-fi. [4]28 Days Later is the new flick from director
Danny Boyle (Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, etc.) about a virus termed
rage that is advertently released from a Cambridge primate research
facility and goes on to devastate much of merry old England more
rapidly than the dragons did in [5]Reign of Fire. Although Varmus
appears to go out of his way to be even handed, it's clear that he has
a problem suspending disbelief on a topic (virology) that is near and
dear to him. Reviews from professional movie critics on 28 Days Later
have been mixed, but [6]Ebert and another [7]NY Times reviewer were
into it. Good, clean summer fun - aside from 'the scenes of maiming,
dismemberment, clubbing, shooting, bayoneting and shoplifting'."

Estonia: Where the Internet is a Human Right
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/06/1748224
[0]securitas writes "The [1]Christian Science Monitor reports on
technological change in Estonia, where an enlightened post-Soviet era
government believes the Internet is essential for life in the 21st
century and backs that up with legislation declaring Internet access is
a human right. Estonia is a country where hot, running water was a
luxury a decade ago. It's now a place where farmers have broadband
Internet, 80% of the people use online banking, Internet usage and
broadband penetration rates are comparable to Western Europe, and the
government conducts most business (meetings, votes, document reviews,
etc.) virtually through a system of networked computers. Not bad for a
country that only 10 years ago was a crumbling, bankrupt mess with a
network infrastructure to match."

The goal of Principia Mathematica II is the creation of a system that
enables a working mathematician to put theorems and proofs (in a formal
language) into it. These proofs are automatically verified by a proof
checker. Because this system is not centrally administered and enables
references to any location on the Internet, a world wide mathematical
knowledge base could be built. Any proof of a theorem in this
"mathematical web" could be drilled down to the very
elementary rules and axioms. To make it more than a huge number of
correct formulas, it should also contain information in "common
mathematical language". Think of an incredible number of
mathematical textbooks with hyperlinks, and each of its proofs could be
verified by *pmii*. For each theorem, the dependency of other theorems,
definitions, and axioms could be easily derived.

Slashcode
So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish!
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/13/1816237
All things come to an end and its been a wonderful ride. Today is my
last day at OSDN and this will be the last thing I will be posting on
Slashcode. It has been fun working on Slash for the last few years and
I have enjoyed working with the Slash community (tf32, ACS, vladinator,
ericdano, and many more that I am forgetting). On Monday I start work
for MySQL so I will be a bit busy for a while but I expect you will
still see Slash stuff coming from me in the future. I will continue to
be in #slash for a while, and you can still always reach me via email.
The best of luck with you and your sites, it has been great!
Spottedrabbit.com
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/13/1756251
After much kicking and screaming, yet another Slash Site! The Spotted
Rabbit with news and events for Sussex County NJ, and Orange County,
NY. It still looks a lot like basic slash, but I'm new to this, and
we're working on it! --Ken Hall
Multiple Instances
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/10/1543202
Please indulge a beginner. I currently have slashcode setup on a single
domain with its own IP address (wwwntm.biz) for testing purposes. Here
is my dilemma. I am setting up a community similar to yahoo/geocities.
It will be www.newthoughtcommunity.net and the individual communities
will be sub-domains of this domain ex;
community1.newthoughtcommunity.net, community2.newthoughtcommunity.net
etc Residents of the communities will be set up as users ex;
http://community1.newthoughtcommunity.net/user1,
http://community1.newthoughtcommunity.net/user2 etc. Directory is:
/home /newthoughtcommunity /community1 /community2 I know that slash
can be setup with virtual domains, but can sub domains have there own
instance. I need each community to have their own slash. Also. When I
set up a new instance of slash for a virtual domain, do I use the same
database and administrator with a new virtual user when I run
DBI::Password? Thank you for any help you can offer John --John Macuga
section as subdomain (2.2.5 based install)
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/06/1444236
Hello, I have a slashcode version 2.2.5(*) based site under my command,
for which an extension is planned, that would fit well in an isolated
(isolate=1) section with a few modified templates put in the
section-page (like header;etc;default). I managed to configure a second
virtual host that uses the same SlashVitualUser directive as the
main-server with the sectionname as subdomain (etc.myslash.company),
overriding the rootdir-variable using SlashSetVar and enforcing the
section using SlashSetForm: SlashSetVar rootdir //etc.myslash.company
SlashSetForm section etc Everything works fine so far... I just
wondered if it is safe to use the same slash-site (db and all) within
two virtual-hosts. And I wondered the more if there isn't an easier way
to accomplish this. As far as I understood mod_perl there shouldn't be
any problem, but asking the masters seldom hurts but the professional
pride... * I did fix the released security-holes!. tia,kind regards
tomte
Barrapunto.com see the light with 2.2.6
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/03/150251
It has been hard, but after playing a little with all the
configuration, we have reached a good balance in Barrapunto.com and now
our users are very happy, the journals start to be filled with contents
and the editors now are more active. We feel that the key was to serve
the images from a differente machine, something that points to
saturation in the connections for our main machine. Now the performance
is very good with 70.000 pages/day and a PIII with 1 GB RAM with Slash
and MySQL and a simple PC serving the images.
Translation Guide?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/01/198224
Is there any guide on how to translate slashcode (interface, at least
the one seen by the users) to some other language? Is the slashcode
written so that can be easily translated to some other languages (UTF-8
not required) ? Thanks!
Yet Another Security Site
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/26/174230
YASS should probably stand for "Yet another Security Site" LOL. I've
been playing around with slash for about a week now, and finally have
the beginnings of a site running. Feel free to pop in, drop some
comments, break stuff and generally see what goes. The more
participation I see, the more work I'll put into making it a nice site.
A good name might help... now there's an idea for a poll.
Democracy Now!
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/22/176211
Democracy Now! a U.S. based morning TV and radio news program launched
it new site, based on a heavily modified cvs version of slash. (Hacked
together and hosted by openflows.) As they become more comfortable with
the system, and people on staff there get the hang of how slash works,
we hope to add in the more community/interactive features of slash. For
now it is simply a content management system, in the future it will
become much more. In just the first few days the traffic and audience
response has been overwhelming. stats from the second day the site was
live: IPIDs Pages 11193 55190
Advice on setting up a new site
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/20/1512203
I am trying to use Slash to set up an events-based discussion forum.
Ideally I'd like it to be hosted by a turn-key hosting company with
fairly punctual customer support. My internet connections are either
behind a firewall or 56k modem, so speedy shell access is out of the
question. Ideally the host would be friendly towards freedom of
information and healthily disrespectful of authority (the site will NOT
contain anything illegal, links or insight to anything illegal, but
will be acting against the policy of a well-funded British institution
whose ground-floor members support and are behind it). I would rather
the host didn't drop me just because 'someone' asked them to. Who would
you recommend for this? I'd like to modify Slash slightly by arranging
it around the date of the event, rather than the posting date. Would it
be as simple as an extra data entry and changing a couple of lines of
code, or would that go against everything Slash is designed to do?
Thanks for your help.
Request for BLOB/Image Modifications
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/11/2227225
I'm really happy with how the BLOB support in slash is working. I can
now add images and files, and I move the select level up so registered
users can only access files. It's great. I'd like to see how hard it
would be to have Krow or someone add in placement tags for images. So
