[CODE4LIB] code4lib journal
Consider submitting proposals for articles, book software reviews, code snippets algorithms, conference reports, opinion pieces, etc. to Code4Lib Journal. See: http://journal.code4lib.org/ Code4Lib Journal strives to fill a communication niche above simple description of software implementations but below pure theoretical digital library investigation. The editorial board is looking for content that is practical, demonstrates how to exploit technology to create digital library collections and services, or offers insight and forethought regarding the use of computers in any type of library setting. While articles in the journal should be of a high quality, they need not follow any formal structure or guidelines. Writers should aim for the middle ground between, on the one hand, blog or mailing-list posts, and, on the other hand, articles in traditional journals. We want publishing in the journal to be easy and painless, helping the community to share timely, relevant information that is currently shared all too rarely. The inaugural issue of Code4Lib Journal is well underway and set for publication in December. The second issue is not quite full. The due date for proposals is Friday, November 9, 2007 with a publication date in late March, 2008. The Journal welcomes submissions at any time on a rolling acceptance basis, but this is the deadline to be sure to make the 2nd issue. Send in a submission. Your peers would like to hear what you are doing. -- Eric Lease Morgan and the Editorial Committee

Hi Folks - Our apologies - code4lib.org is currently down due to a non-responding database cluster.

On 10/16/07 7:22 AM, Jeremy Frumkin [EMAIL PROTECTED] spake: Hi Folks - Our apologies - code4lib.org is currently down due to a non-responding database cluster. We are aware of the problem and are working to resolve it. And it gets better and better. Higher than normal database traffic produced higher than normal amounts of database logging, filling up our database transaction logging disk on both nodes of our database cluster. A few milliseconds after that, MySQL sputtered, coughed and cursed my name... and then hung waiting for me to cleanup the logs. After some poking, prodding and cursing of my own the cluster is back up and running. Today I am going to be working on a better log cleanup script that purges any logs already relayed to the other cluster node(s) and already written to tape. That should help prevent the problem in the future. And I'm working on some finer grained monitoring to detect the problem a little sooner so I can clean it up before it gets to this point.
