(Could there _possibly_ be a more major event for Debian than a DPL election?! 8-0) Yes, a stable release ;) Yes, exactly - I thought of that when I read my message after it came back from the list. ;) The election should have been front page news on the Debian website.! I have missed reading about previous elections beforehand for exactly this same lack of communication reason. If _you_ hadn't _told_ me there was an election _underway_ I would never have known about it. It was posted on debian-devel-announce and the other relevant mailing lists: debian-project and debian-vote. The announcement also mentions the relevant web page where the result is published. I'll take your word that that is true. But, not making the very important fact of the election highly public, like on the debian.org webpage, was a large missed opportunity to bring awareness potentially connect with fresh blood, A vibrant, open, friendly project depends on the periodic introduction of fresh blood wanting to work with us. Let's make that easier! as Steve said. And yes, I find it apropiate that the Debian project doesn't give as much importance to politics as technical issues: http://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/2009/msg5.html [My little rant here will serve me well when I email Steve McIntyre suggesting he come for a voice chat with BerkeleyTIP the entire Debian community, huh? ! ;) ] BTW, your mail here is kinda' off-topic (and I marked my reply as such). I think debian-project would be more apropiate if you want to discuss this (and not rant about it). I was merely tossing it out to the only list I'm subscribed to.

ECC RAM failure data - jre
Do you use ECC RAM? Do you have any data about failure rates? I'm evaluating this for a system with 8GB DRAM, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_random_access_memory#Errors_and_error_correction says Tests[ecc]give widely varying error rates, but about 10-12upset/bit-hr is typical, roughly one bit error, per month, per gigabyte of memory. In most computers used for serious scientific or financial computing and as servers, ECC is the rule rather than the exception, as can be seen by examining manufacturers' specifications. So, for that data 8GB DRAM is about 8 errors per month, ie about one per 3-4 days. What rates do you have? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

BerkeleyTIP Great progress VOIP November - Dec 6 = Improve VOIP
We made GREAT progress with the November 1 meeting! :) I really can't believe how happy I am about it, how far we advanced. We went from in September having no online attendees, to in October having 1 person remote on IRC, to in November having 7 people around the US all in a VOIP conference! It was _fantastic_! I was very impressed. I'm especially impressed with our online members, who basically took the info I had in the VOIP data page, found a conference #, set up a conference, got logged in, all while I was taking a short break! :) Besides two of us on VOIP in Berkeley, we had Oakland, San Fran, San Jose, Washington state, North Carolina. Plus we had at least two other person on IRC who didn't have time to get on VOIP. It was so very enjoyable talking listening to the guy in North Carolina - he had a _very_ strong southern accent, I _rarely_ get to talk with someone with that accent. It was so fun knowing I was listening to someone who was _unmistakeably_ _not_ from the BayArea! We had a UCB student join us on IRC from one of the dorms - he'd seen the announcement I sent on the UCB SciPy list. This is all doubly exciting, because I _still_ didn't even get the announcements out until less than 24 hours before hand. Think how many more people might see the announcement in time to join us if I get it out 1 or two weeks ahead of time! Good progress is me getting _this_ announcement out about 3 weeks before the meeting to the BTIP groups. My goal is to get announcements to the outside mailing lists both this coming weekend (2 weeks) the following weekend (1 week ahead). This will allow many more people to schedule the December 6 meeting into their schedules. :) === December 6 Progress Opportunities: Some things I might be doing: Getting announcements out for the first (or first advanced) time to Debian, GNU, FreeBSD, KDE, maybe Ubuntu, Ekiga Asterisk 10 California LUG lists. Based on discussion that we didn't have a way to see a list of who was in the VOIP conference room, like in an IRC client, that is a possible target for the December Programming party. Maybe we can make some web ap that can do that? Or, some Python program which is like a IRC client for VOIP conference rooms? Perhaps we can modify the Ekiga sw? Also, I'll try to notify the Ekiga Asterisk people about this, in case they'd like to help out. Discussion might be about K-Ubuntu 8.10. There's a new video from Christine Peterson about Open Source Environment Sensing. If you know of any new FSW videos, please email me or the list so I can put them on the BTIPG video page. Any comments or questions? Hope to see you in person in Berkeley, or VOIP conference with you all on Sat Dec 6. :) http://groups.google.com/group/BerkTIPGlobal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
