+  Frugalware Linux Newsletter - Issue 59
+
+  ...to inform...to educate...to entertain
+
+  "An SQL query goes into a bar, walks up to two tables and asks, "Can I 
join
+  you?""
+
+  Welcome
+
+  The newsletter's aim is to keep you up to date with what's happened
+  recently in the world of the Linux distribution 'Frugalware'.
+
+  Features of this issue include:
+
+  
+Jump for Frugalware
+
+Frugalware's developers are people too - Pingax
+
+FLOSS developers are people too - Marc Kerbiquet
+
+Tips and tricks - Search and replace text in multiple files
+  
+
+  Events
+
+  Here's a selection of events which have occurred since the previous
+  newsletter:
+
+  Locris is here!
+
+  On 8 March 2010, Miklos Vajna http://frugalware.org/news/163";>
+  announced the release of Frugalware 1.2 - code-name "Locris". It has been
+  a great 6 months since the previous release, with several major improvements.
+  Everyone who contributed to this release - the developers, artists and
+  translators - can be very proud of the results of their hard work. Thanks 
also
+  to everyone who took the time to report bugs they found, because 1.2 is a
+  better release for your effort.
+
+  Icons added to the newsletter
+
+  Icons for each main section of the newsletter were recently added to make
+  it look better. This is something I have been wanting to do for several
+  months, but never quite managed to get done. Soon after I added a task for
+  this to the Frugalware Bug Tracking System (BTS), developer Devil505 added
+  them. Since then I have replaced one of the icons and made some formatting
+  adjustments. I believe the newsletter looks better with these icons added,
+  but I would like to hear others' opinions. Thanks to Devil505 for his work in
+  adding the icons, without which it may never have been done. :)
+
+  Jump for Frugalware
+
+  To celebrate the release of Frugalware 1.2, the entire team has decided to
+  make a skydive together. During the dive they will maneuver themselves into
+  position to spell out the word "Frugalware". Practice has gone well so far,
+  although this has only been in an airport hanger. WebEagle has been given the
+  role of jump master, since he's the only team member with skydiving
+  experience. If the jump goes well the team will have celebrated in style. If
+  the jump doesn't go well then 1.2 will be the last Frugalware release. Keep
+  your fingers crossed! :P
+
+
+  Frugalware's developers are people
+  too
+
+  This is the latest in the ongoing series of interviews with Frugalware's
+  developers. This issue's interview is with Pingax, who is a very new member 
of
+  the team. Please read on...
+
+  
+What's your name?
+
+
+  My name is Anthony but I prefer people call me Tony.
+
+
+What's your IRC nickname?
+
+
+  You can find me on IRC with the nickname Pingax.
+
+
+In what country do you live?
+
+
+  I live in France (in Britain, at the west). I've always lived in this
+  country.
+
+
+In what country were you born?
+
+
+  France.
+
+
+What do you like the most about where you live (the
+country and/or town/city)?
+
+
+   I'm near the sea, which is something I really like.
+
+
+What do you do for the Frugalware
+project?
+
+
+  For the Frugalware Project, I started to contribute by packaging
+  software (actually only one : dotclear). I'm also a moderator on the
+  French Frugalware community's board. I also translate the project (using
+  Pootle).
+  
+
+
+What motivates you to work on Frugalware?
+
+
+  The fact that Frugalware is the first distribution which gives me
+  pleasure in learning exactly how a Linux system works. I hope this story
+  will live a long, long time :)
+   
+
+What do you do when you're not working on Frugalware?
+
+
+
+  When I'm not working on Frugalware, I'm coding my own blog-script (PHP
+  & MySQL) and learning other languages (Python, C/C++).
+
+
+What's the view from your front door?
+
+
+  For the last question, I've no photo. I've only Internet access at 
work
+  for the moment. But I can say the view in front of my door is the doo

+
+  Here's a selection of events which have occurred since the previous
+  newsletter:
+
+  Frugalware 1.3's code-name is announced
+
+  On 17 March 2010, VMiklos announced the codename for the next Frugalware
+  release, 1.3 - "Haven". For those that don't already know, all code-names are
+  from a series of fictional planets which feature in Isaac Asimov's
+  "Foundation" series of science fiction novels.
+
+  Plans for "Haven" haven't yet been finalised but as anyone who subscribes
+  to the git commits mailing list will know, there has already been a lot of
+  activity since 1.2 was released. The biggest change so far has been a kernel
+  upgrade to 2.6.33. This kernel introduces the "nouveau" driver, which is an
+  open source driver for Nvidia graphics chipsets. The implementation of this
+  change has caused issues for some Nvidia users so please
+  read http://frugalware.org/news/165";>this message from
+  Frugalware developer Hermier before upgrading to the latest kernel.
+
+  New FrugalBuild contributors
+
+  Frugalware users Adrien Ramos and kikadf recently submitted several
+  FrugalBuilds for new packages. Each of these is either undergoing review or
+  has been accepted. Many thanks to these two and we hope they have a bright
+  future in packaging.
+
+  Forums are back!
+
+  Several weeks ago, the server which hosted the Frugalware forums had a
+  hard drive fail. Unfortunately the hard drive was not part of a RAID array,
+  so the problem could only be solved by replacing the failed drive and
+  restoring the forums' data from backup (which are done regularly). Thanks to
+  VMiklos and any others involved, the forums were back online on 12 March
+  2010. The server's hard drive configuration has since been upgraded to a RAID
+  array, so the chance of the same problem happening again is very low.
+
+  New screenshots for 1.2
+
+  Frugalware user bviktor recently submitted some screenshots of Locris'
+  installer and GUI desktop, so that the web site could be current. Frugalware
+  developer Devil505 then added captions and uploaded them to the http://frugalware.org/screenshots";>screenshots page. Many thanks to
+  bviktor for submitting the screenshots. If you ever find something on the web
+  site which is not current, or is simply wrong, please report it via a bug

+  Frugalware Linux Newsletter - Issue 63
+
+  ...to inform...to educate...to entertain
+
+  "It is only when they go wrong that machines remind you how powerful they
+  are."  Clive James
+
+  Welcome
+
+  The newsletter's aim is to keep you up to date with what's
+  happened recently in the world of the Linux distribution
+  'Frugalware'.
+
+  Features of this issue include:
+
+  
+Frugalware 1.3 pre1 released
+
+Package compression is improved
+
+Frugalware's users are people too - Lenezir
+
+Focus On Package(s) - Textadept
+  
+
+  http://frugalware.org/images/newsletter/event.png";
+  align="left">Events etc
+
+  Here's a selection of events which have occurred since the
+  previous newsletter:
+
+  Frugalware 1.3 pre1 released
+
+  On 3 May 2010, VMiklos http://frugalware.org/news/170";>announced the release of the
+  first preview of Frugalware 1.3. Perhaps the most exciting part
+  of the announcement was that a GUI version of the network
+  installer is available for the very first time. Congratulations
+  and thanks are due to Elentir, developer of the GUI network
+  installer, officially known as Fwife. Elentir has been working on
+  Fwife almost since he joined the development team.
+
+  Each preview release has just one aim: to allow people to test
+  a snapshot of the next official release. The development team
+  needs your help to test the preview on your own hardware and with
+  your own combination of packages. The more bugs which are found
+  and fixed before the final release, the better quality the
+  release will be. If you have the time and bandwidth required,
+  please download, install and test this preview.
+
+  Kooda has been busy
+
+  Kooda, a new member of the development team, has been busy
+  updating FrugalBuilds and creating new ones. Since the previous
+  newsletter issue, he has committed 43 new or modified
+  FrugalBuilds, many of them being Ruby-related packages. Thanks to
+  Kooda and of course we look forward to your next
+  contributions.
+
+  Let Tux be your Commander
+
+  Frugalware contributor kikadf recently had FrugalBuilds for
+  the package TuxCommander and its add-ons accepted by the
+  development team. Well done to him and thanks for packaging it.
+  Tux Commander is a GUI file management application, with a UI
+  design similar to that of Midnight Commander, or Norton
+  Commander.
+
+  Let's make Frugalware 1.3 look great!
+
+  Each Frugalware release features new default artwork,
+  including: GRUB theme, wallpaper, GUI toolkit, login manager,
+  mouse pointers and icons. The wallpaper is a central part of the
+  theme and all other elements are either based on it or chosen
+  because they complement it. To follow the artwork team's
+  progress, you can monitor the artwork wiki page for 1.3.
+
+  If instead you want to get involved, you can do so in many
+  ways. Comment on the artwork team's creations on the wiki page.
+  Of course praise is enjoyed most by the team's members, but
+  constructive criticism is also welcome. If you have artwork to
+  display or suggest, add to the artwork wiki page. There is also
+  an IRC channel available for live chat - #frugalware.artwork -
+  but you need to be lucky to find anyone in there.
+
+  Devil505, the artwork team's coordinator,

+  Frugalware Linux Newsletter - Issue 64
+
+  ...to inform...to educate...to entertain
+
+  "As long as I could I will continue :p"  Frugalware developer
+  Bouleetbil, in a recent email on the developers mailing list, when thanked 
for
+  his contribution of more than 1000 commits in a WIP git
+  repository.
+
+  Welcome
+
+  The newsletter's aim is to keep you up to date with what's happened
+  recently in the world of the Linux distribution 'Frugalware'.
+
+  Features of this issue include:
+

+Tips and tricks - pacman-g2's "upgradedelay" parameter
+
+Focus On Package(s) - cdw and GNOME Log Viewer

+
+  Here's a selection of events which have occurred since the previous
+  newsletter:
+
+  Artwork for Frugalware 1.3 progresses
+
+  As I mentioned in the previous newsletter issue, artwork for Frugalware
+  1.3, code-name "Haven", is progressing. Artwork coordinator Devil505 recently
+  conducted a poll on his http://frugalware.org/~devil505/blog/";>blog to choose the default icon
+  theme and the winner was MeliaeSVG. He has also chosen the default GTK+2 and
+  Metacity themes - Toidi and X-Lite colors respectively.
+
+  New wallpapers are also being submitted by artists for consideration. You
+  can view them in the wiki page for 1.3's artwork, located http://wiki.frugalware.org/index.php/Artwork_1.3";>here. Thanks to
+  everyone who has already contributed. It's exciting to see the new look for
+  Haven slowly taking shape. Don't forget it's not too late to get involved.
+  Submit your ideas and artwork via the wiki, or send an email to Devil505.
+
+  Farewell to the Rox desktop *sob*
+
+  In April 2010, Frugalware developer ryuo asked Frugalware's users to vote
+  on whether or not the ROX desktop should remain. He only received one reply -
+  from me - saying I thought they should not remain. Since no-one said they
+  should stay, they were deleted from Frugalware. A few of the ROX packages
+  still remain - ROX Filer and roxterm - because they can be used without the
+  ROX desktop itself.
+
+  Sorry I'm late, Francois
+
+  Since about mid-2008, Francios Biot has submitted many FrugalBuilds for
+  packages which are new to Frugalware. Unfortunately I have never thanked him
+  here in the newsletter and for that I apologise. His name appears below in
+  the list of new packages, because he contributed the FrugalBuild for
+  open-vcdiff.
+

+
+  "And 1.1.81 is officially BugFree™, so if you receive any

+  Linus Torvalds
+
+  Welcome
+
+  The newsletter's aim is to keep you up to date with what's happened
+  recently in the world of the Linux distribution 'Frugalware'.
+
+  Features of this issue include:
+
+  
+Hola! ¿Habla usted español?

+Tips and tricks - Display package updates with Conky and "Look out!
+There's a monster behind you!"

+
+  http://frugalware.org/images/newsletter/event.png"; align=
+  "left">Events etc
+
+  Here's a selection of recent events and other items that you might find
+  interesting:
+
+  Busy, busy, busy with updates
+
+  Many of the developers are busy updating core packages and packages which
+  depend upon them. You may not notice these changes but you certainly get the
+  benefit in better performance, features and stability.
+
+  Some of the recent work includes:
+
+  
+bouleetbil is updating X.org to version 1.8.1, including udev
+support;
+
+bouleetbil is upgrading GNOME to 2.30.2;
+
+voroskoi has updated OpenSSL to version 1.0.0;
+
+gholafox has updated physfs to 2.0.1;
+  
+
+  hola! ¿Habla usted español?
+
+  I admit that I can't speak Spanish, but luckily DarkNekros can and is
+  willing to help translate Frugalware projects into Spanish. He/she recently
+  sent a message to the developers' mailing list with news that work on
+  translation had begun. Improvements in Frugalware's translation are always
+  good news because this makes it available to more people than would otherwise
+  be possible. Let's hope that DarkNekros continues with this because it's sure
+  to be welcomed by all Spanish-speaking Frugalware users.
+
+  fwife becomes more beautiful
+
+  Elentir continues to improve fwife, the GUI Frugalware installer. If you
+  think of fwife like a car, he's currently tuning the engine and polishing
+  everything until it sparkles in the sunshine. Now...where did I put the
+  keys!?
+
+  Bouleetbil's moved
+
+  Frugalware developer bouleetbil recently moved all his computers into new
+  accommodation. In a recent http://dors.frugalware.org/bouleetbil/?p=386";>blog entry he provided a
+  photo of his new accommodation. I think you'll agree that it looks really
+  nice, especially the captain's chair. In winter the computers actually help
+  to keep the room warm, and in warmer months he simply opens the window to
+  allow the heat out.
+
+  When you compare this with the accommodation he had before, it's a
+  fantastic improvement. In the photo below you can see a small plastic house
+  with a green room, which was where bouleetbil previously did all his work for
+  Frugalware. It's amazing to think he has been able to work so well under 
these
+  conditions. In the past, all work had to stop when it rained, also when his
+  daughter wanted to have a tea party! It's a great win for Frugalware.

+
+  Here's a selection of recent events and other items that you might find
+  interesting:
+
+  Turkish translations are in progress
+
+  Frugalware user Tutku has been very busy recently, translating many of
+  Frugalware's projects, including the installer, Fwife and Gfpm. The speed at
+  which he has been working is simply amazing. It seemed that he requested
+  access to http://pootle.frugalware.org/";>Pootle one day and the
+  very next day was announcing that he had finished! This is not Tutku's first
+  translation work for Frugalware. In fact he's been providing Turkish
+  translations for about one year. Many thanks to Tutku because his work makes
+  Frugalware accessible to more people and that's good for everyone.
+
+  Default wallpaper for Frugalware 1.3
+
+  The default wallpaper for Frugalware 1.3 has been chosen and the winner
+  was...Webeagle! Congratulations to him because it looks simply amazing. For
+  this release we had the most number of entries ever received - 22 - so
+  thankyou to everyone who submitted an entry. We really
+  appreciate all your hard work. The frugalware-backgrounds-extra package has
+  been updated so if you install it you can see every wallpaper ever submitted
+  as an official wallpaper.
+
+  Wanted! New homes for packages
+
+  Every Frugalware has a maintainer, someone who is responsible for keeping
+  the package up to date and fixing any bugs which are reported. Sometimes
+  people can no longer maintain their packages, either temporarily or
+  permanently and so others need to take them on. Developer Devil505 recently
+  produced a list of packages which need new maintainers and the developers are
+  currently working through the list. I'm not sure what happens if we get near
+  the end of the list and only ugly ones are left. We might have to run a
+  lottery. Maybe we could wait for a new developer and give them a "To Do" list
+  on their first day? :P
+
+  Frugalware - The Game!
+
+  Computer games, whether played on consoles or PCs, are very popular in
+  modern society. What if just a small fraction of the many millions of people
+  who play games were introduced to what it's like to be a Frugalware
+  developer? The future of Frugalware would be guaranteed, and that's the
+  reason behind the development of "Frugalware - The Game!" In the style of
+  "Little Big Planet", players will progress through the game if they can
+  successfully package applications. They will have to search for and find the
+  various dependencies, then submit their FrugalBuild to the buildbot. If they
+  have been successful, they may gain points, which could allow them to advance
+  to the next level. Bugs will be represented by real bugs and players will
+  have to squash them as quickly as they can. If there are too many bugs they
+  may attack the player, harming their health or possibly killing them. Missing
+  dependencies or incorrect dependencies will also cost the player health
+  points. All packages created by a player in a level have to be maintained by
+  them until they advance to the next level. At each level the packages to be
+  maintained will become more difficult. I can't reveal what is waiting for the
+  player when they complete the game, but it's definitely a prize worth
+  winning!

changes made since 0.9, such as the latest Gnome release - 2.24.1, latest

only be used from a running Frugalware installation to install Frugalware 
elsewhere.  Congratulations to the Frugalware development team on all their

+
+Welcome

recently in the world of the Linux distribution 'Frugalware'.

+
+Here's a selection of events which have occurred since the previous 
newsletter:
+
+
+
+Frugalware is featured on the Linux Void podcast
+I recently wrote to the http://www.linuxvoid.com/";>Linux 
Void podcast, asking that they review Frugalware Linux.  They read my email 
on episode 12 and the very next episode featured the review.  Overall the 
review was very positive, with the reviewer impressed with the fact that it's 
fast and easy to use.
+Highlights of the review included:
+
+"When you boot...you're really surprised...it's not the sort 
of distro you see every day...it's not Ubuntu"
+"It's really fast and the package manager is really fast"
+"The installer was very easy to use"
+
+
+
+Boobaa The Wise :P
+Many Frugalware users will know that Boobaa is a package maintainer 
(including many Java-related packages), also resident expert on Drupal (a FLOSS 
content management system).  What you may not know is that he's also 
an expert on how hardware works - particularly CPUs.  As proof, let me quote 
from IRC dated 23 September 2008 -
+< boobaa >DeX77: staring at "javac: 
Assembling..." for ages states that a HGE pile of java crap 
is being fed into your CPU. but beware: CPUs work with smoke. if the smoke 
comes out, they will not work any more
+If you have any hardware problem, please send an email to 
boobaa [AT] i_can_fix_your_hardware_with_a_hammer.com.hu.  He'll be happy to 
help. :)
+
+
+Publicity for Frugalware
+Planète LINUX, a French PC magazine, recently published an article 
about Frugalware.  The magazine is not available online but if you live in 
France, buy issue 54.  It's great when Frugalware gets publicity because people 
may then try it and, of course, begin using it.  Frugalware can get better with 
more users because it means more people using (and testing) packages, and it's 
likely to bring new developers.
+Links to other articles and reviews of Frugalware are linked in the 
web site's menu at About > Frugalware in the Press.  If you discover news about 
Frugalware that's not already in the list, please tell us and we'll add a link. 
 The easiest method of contact is adding an item to the Frugalware forum.

Setting the default editor - submitted by Carl Anderson
There are many editors to Frugalware e.g Vi, Nano, Joe, Emacs. It is  
possible to select a  default editor for the system, which will always be used 
when you open a configuration file, added a cronjob, etc. This will be the 
editor that all users will be using as the default editor.
Here is an example where Nano will be used. Open the file /etc/profiles as 
root and, under these three lines:
-
-# Default umask. A umask of 022 prevents new files from being created 
group
-# and world writable.
-umask 022

+# Default umask. A umask of 022 prevents new files from being created

Add the following:
-EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano

export EDITOR
-

If you want to use Nano as the editor in MC (Midnight Commander) then Choose 
F9> Options> Configuration> in MC, remove mark for use internal editor> then 
save.  Do this to MC when logged in to your normal account, also as root, then 
the editor in MC will also be Nano when you're  editing files as root.

+mxw - the lonely little bot :(
+In a dark corner of the Frugalware world (IRC), lives a lonely 
little bot named mxw.  He has a few jobs, including telling visitors what his 
best friend, "git", has been doing.  If he's happy he'll even entertain 
visitors with a dance.  Sadly for mxw there's not been much dancing recently.  
He gets his energy by feeding on stray pixels from smilies that visitors leave 
behind.  His problem is that there haven't been many visitors recently and so 
mxw's energy levels are very low.  Please help him by getting into one or more 
of the IRC channels and leaving a smiley or two.
+
+
+Thanks for 2008
+As the end of 2008 gets closer, it's a good time to say thanks for 
the year's achievements.
+Highlights of the year for me include:
+
+Upgrades to all major desktop environments - Gnome, KDE 
and XFCE;
+New developers - bouleetbil, gholafox, ryuo;
+The establishment of the artwork team.
+
+The development team has continued to provide packages that are 
current and of excellent quality.  A few changes have been made to the "engine" 
of Frugalware, but stability remains a top priority.  It amazes me that this is 
all achieved by a small team of volunteers.  Many thanks to all current and 
past developers for their hard work.
+It's also a good time to thank all those outside the development 
team who contribute to Frugalware's success.  These people include all 
translators and those who maintain local Frugalware web sites (actually, 
they're usually the same people).  Translation is not, perhaps, the most 
exciting work but it's valuable because it allows more people to use 
Frugalware.  Thanks also to the artwork team for their excellent work.  It's 
great that we can present such a professional "face" to the world.
+It's been little more than a year that I've been writing the 
newsletter.  It continues to be a learning journey for me and I'm grateful for 
all the support I've received, especially from VMiklos and Devil505.  Without 
their help I probably would have given up publishing the newsletter.  I now 
have direct write access to the git repo so that I can publish the newsletter 
directly (insert evil laugh :P) and I value the trust placed in me.  Thanks 
again to all translators of the newsletter.  It's amazing that they can 
understand my writing enough to translate it.  :)
+
+
+
+
+Frugalware's developers are people too - 
gholafox
+
+This issue's interview is with gholafox, the developer with a thousand 
nicknames.  :)  OK, so it's not quite that many.  Please read on...
+
+
+What's your name?
+My name is Thomas.
+
+What's your IRC nickname?
+I have got many IRC nicknames. It could be Fox, jedifo

+Frugalware Linux Newsletter - Issue 37
+
+...to inform...to educate...to entertain
+
+You've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather 
was.Irish Proverb
+
+
+Welcome
+The newsletter's aim is to keep you up to date with what's happened 
recently in the world of the Linux distribution 'Frugalware'.
+
+Features of this issue include:
+
+Happy New Year!
+When is a Linux distribution like a cake?
+Frugalware 1.0pre2 is almost here
+Frugalware's users are people too - emilpoe
+Focus On Package(s) - Frozen Bubble
+
+
+
+
+Events
+
+Here's a selection of events which have occurred since the previous 
newsletter:
+
+
+
+Happy New Year!
+In case you hadn't noticed ( :P ) a new year has begun.  We all 
hope that 2009 is as successful a year for Frugalware as was 2008.
+
+
+Do developers ever sleep?  :)
+The rate at which packages are updated or added seems to get faster 
as times goes by.  When Frugalware 0.9 was released I thought the developers 
might relax a little but instead it seems they began working harder.  Do they 
ever sleep?
+
+
+Bouleetbil - Barista
+When reviewing the Frugalware changelog I noticed that bouleetbil 
was maintaining many Java-related packages.  On IRC once day I asked him if he 
liked coffee, and jokingly suggested that he change his IRC nickname to 
"barista".  He told me that he does drink a lot of coffee.  I wonder though, is 
he using Java because he drinks coffee, or did he first use Java and 
then start drinking coffee?  For those who don't already know, 
'java' is an old American (USA) slang word for coffee.
+
+
+When is a Linux distribution like a cake?
+A Linux distribution is a very complex system.  Each layer is 
dependent upon the one below it, with the Linux kernel being the base of the 
"cake". (Hmmm...cake... :P)  Those who maintain packages are responsible for 
making sure that, as each piece is upgraded, everything else still works.
+I recently read a conversation between ryuo and crazy about the 
difficulty of upgrading X.  For GUI applications, X is the next layer on top of 
the Linux kernel, so it's a critical piece.  Although I didn't understand some 
of what was discussed, it was obvious that you have to be careful when 
upgrading it.  After the conversation I had to take a few headache tablets and 
lie down for a while.  :)
+Next time you boot Frugalware, give thanks to all those who keep it 
running.
+
+
+Bugs? Squash them!
+I subscribe to the Frugalware BTS (bug tracking system) mailing 
list and so see each bug report and request that is made.  I have been 
surprised recently to see many reports and requests coming from people whose 
names I haven't seen before.  It's great to know that there are many more 
people using Frugalware than those in the IRC channels and forums.  Many thanks 
to all those who take the time to report the bugs they find.  The development 
team appreciate these reports because as each bug is squashed, the quality of 
Frugalware is improved.
+
+
+More artwork!
+Artwork for a CD case and cover has been added to the collection of 
artwork for Frugalware 1.0's release.  Well done to the artwork team.

+Frugalware Linux Newsletter - Issue 38
+
+...to inform...to educate...to entertain
+
+The future depends on what we do in the present.   Mahatma 
Gandhi
+
+
+Welcome
+The newsletter's aim is to keep you up to date with what's happened 
recently in the world of the Linux distribution 'Frugalware'.
+
+Features of this issue include:
+
+Frugalware 1.0 pre2 is released
+Elentir's officially a developer!
+Frugalware's users are people too - juky
+Focus On Package(s) - dkopp
+
+
+
+
+Events
+
+Here's a selection of events which have occurred since the previous 
newsletter:
+
+
+
+Parlez-vous français?
+Soon after the release of newsletter issue 37, Devil505 said that I 
had missed translating just one word - "humour".  I looked at where the word 
was used and was sure it was correct.  I learned then that this word has the 
same spelling and meaning in both English and French.  Many French words are 
commonly used in modern spoken and written English, so it shouldn't have 
surprised me, but it did!
+
+
+Xfce 4.6 work continues
+Work on Xfce 4.6 continues, with the development team continuing to 
release beta versions.  This is great news for Xfce users, but it means more 
work for Priyank.  :(  He's been kept busy packaging the latest beta version - 
4.5.93.  These packages are maintained in a separate repository which must be 
added manually to pacman's repository list.  If you want to test these 
packages, follow the instructions in newsletter issue FIXME on how to get these 
packages with pacman-g2.  Since the release and the repository are beta, be 
prepared for bugs.
+
+
+It seemed like a good idea at the time :)
+When I thought of the Frugalware developer questions, I thought it 
would be interesting to know where people lived and where they were born.  I'm 
Australian and a large percentage of those living in Australia were born in 
other countries.  Unfortunately every other Frugalware developer, contributor 
and user who has replied to the interview questions was born in the country 
that they live in.  I had thought about removing the question "In what country 
were you born?" but I'm still hoping that someone will give a different answer 
to everyone else.  Anyone?
+
+
+Elentir's officially a developer!
+Elentir has created several FrugalBuilds, and is developing Fwife, 
the Frugalware GUI installer (which is undergoing heavy development).  VMiklos 
recently proposed on the developers' mailing list that he become an official 
developer.  Soon after this was proposed, the developers voted and agreed that 
Elentir become an official developer so congratulations to him.
+
+
+"Many hands make light work"
+Now that Elentir is officially a developer, this will ease the load 
of other developers, particularly the French developers.  Office duties 
assigned to each member of the "French development team" have been reviewed and 
the following has been proposed:
+
+
+Hermier - accommodation
+Bouleetbil - coffee
+Devil505 - entertainment (games, mainly Pac Man)
+gholafox - donuts
+Elentir - lunches
+
+
+
+
+Frugalware 1.0 pre2 is released
+On 13 January 2009, VMiklos http://www.frugalware.org/news/123";>announced the release of 
Frugalware 1.0 pre2.  It's exciting that we're getting closer to the final 
release of 1.0 and amazing that this release includes 100 new packages and 800 
updates/bug fixes.  Well done to the development team.  If you have the 
bandwidth and time available, please download and test this release.
+
+
+Death to developers? :P
+This is quite old news, but it's interesting.  On 18 December 2008, 
the following was said in the #frugalware IRC channel:
+
+
+< olegfink>   thanks a lot, that's something 
I really missed with archlinux -- ability to bug developers to death with silly 
stuff :

Conky

-http://conky.sourceforge.net/";>Conky is, at least for me, 
one of those applications that just amazes me.  It's basically a system monitor 
which displays its output on the desktop background ("root window" in geek 
speak).  The great thing about it is that, as well as having a large number of 
parameters it can display, it can also display the output of any external 
command, for example a BASH script.  Conky is well suited to those who are 
running a window manager instead of a desktop environment, but it works well 
with both.  It's light on system resources, so it adds only a small load to PC. 
 One common problem with Conky is that it causes everything on the screen to 
flicker when it refreshes its output.  If this happens to you, read the help on 
the web site because this is easily fixed.  Since Conky is one of those 
applications that have to be seen to be appreciated, please visit the home

+Frugalware Linux Newsletter - Issue 39
+
+...to inform...to educate...to entertain
+
+"What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for 
others and the world remains and is immortal."  Albert Pike
+
+
+Welcome
+The newsletter's aim is to keep you up to date with what's happened 
recently in the world of the Linux distribution 'Frugalware'.
+
+Features of this issue include:
+
+Microblog me!
+New FrugalBuild contributors!
+Frugalware's users are people too - Fafab
+Tips and tricks - Firefox extension - Read It Later
+
+
+
+
+Events
+
+Here's a selection of events which have occurred since the previous 
newsletter:
+
+Microblog me!
+Devil505 recently set up a Frugalware identity on the micro-blogging web 
sites Twitter and identi.ca.  Micro-blogging sites allow you to post brief 
messages and subscribe to messages being posted by others.  If you have an 
account on either of these services, you can subscribe to Frugalware's 
messages, including package updates.  On identi.ca you can also join the 
Frugalware group, which subscribes you to all messages being posted by the 
group's members.
+
+New FrugalBuild contributors!
+It's been exciting to see that, amongst the other Frugalware package 
updates, there have been several FrugalBuilds contributed by new contributors - 
Othmane Benkirane and Cedrick Hannier.  With the number of Frugalware packages 
increasing, new contributors are always welcome and we hope they soon become 
official developers.
+
+New German mirror
+Tobias Offermann recently offered to host a new Frugalware mirror in 
Germany and shortly after, the mirror was up and running.  Many thanks to 
Tobias and Host Europe (Germany) for providing this service.  The support of 
companies and individuals is always welcome since without their support, 
Frugalware may not exist.
+
+I feel so invalid! :P
+I recently thought I should take my own advice and test the HTML validity 
of a recent newsletter issue.  The result was that the http://validator.w3.org/";>W3C validator reported several hundred 
warnings and errors.  Wow!  After being embarrassed, I looked at the results in 
detail.  Most of the errors and warnings were produced by the mis-use of just 
one tag, which I hope to fix soon.  This proves that I have a little work to do 
before the newsletter is truly valid HTML.
+
+There's more to life than Frugalware
+As VMiklos recently said in an email to the Frugalware developers' mailing 
list, many Frugalware developers are active contributors to other FLOSS 
projects.  VMiklos himself developed Bitlbee-Skype, a plugin for http://www.bitlbee.org";>Bitlbee which allows messages to be sent to 
and from a running instance of Skype.  On the http://vmiklos.hu/project/bitlbee-skype/";>Bitlbee-Skype plugin web 
page, VMiklos has collected messages of thanks from its users.  The most 
interesting for me was the message from a blind Skype user, which says:
+ "Thanks for bitlbee-skype. As a blind Linux user, I cannot use the skype GUI 
client because qt apps ar not accessible yet with the available
+screen readers. bitlbee-skype allows me to make use of skype without having to 
interact much with the GUI client, which helps me a lot."  I think it's 
fantastic when technology can help people overcome problems like these.  Well 
done to VMiklos!
+
+A new kernel
+Frugalware 1.0 features the Linux kernel version 2.6.28.  This kernel is 
exciting geeks throughout the Linux world, with new features including the ext4 
file system.  Although ext4 is the successor to ext3, support for ext3 will 
remain for a long time.  Among its other features, ext4 is faster during file 
system checks because it checks only those parts of the file system that have 
changed since the previous check.
+

+Upgrades
+
+Here's a selection of packages which have been upgraded since the previous 
newsletter:

configuring the floppy drive."  Personally I think the better change might have 
been "move to /dev/null".  Of course I'm saying that simply because I no longer 
use a floppy disk drive.  If you have no choice but to back up 40 GB or more 
data via floppy disks then I feel very sorry for you.

+
+Anacreon's default wallpaper is released
+The new default wallpaper of Anacreon is here!  If you didn't 
already know, the wallpaper named "Simply Frugal" has been chosen by the 
development team.  Congratulations to its creator, Léo.  Grub and Splashy 
themes were updated with this wallpaper last week with help from Ironiq.  The 
new default wallpaper is included in the Gnome and LXDE desktop environments in 
the 'current' repository (thanks to Bouleetbil).  Here is a screenshot of a 
Gnome desktop, featuring the wallpaper:

The new default wallpaper of Anacreon is here!  If you didn't already know, 
the wallpaper named "Simply Frugal" has been chosen by the development team.  
Congratulations to its creator, Léo.  Grub and Splashy themes were updated 
with this wallpaper last week with help from Ironiq.  The new default wallpaper 
is included in the Gnome and LXDE desktop environments in the 'current' 
repository (thanks to Bouleetbil).  Here is a screenshot of a Gnome desktop, 
featuring the wallpaper:

+Frugalware Linux Newsletter - Issue 41
+
+...to inform...to educate...to entertain
+
+“Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working
+together is success.”  Henry Ford
+
+
+Welcome
+The newsletter's aim is to keep you up to date with what's happened recently
+ in the world of the Linux distribution 'Frugalware'.
+
+Features of this issue include:
+
+Frugalware 1.0 is here!
+A Frugalware award!
+Frugalware's users are people too - LGee
+Getting To Know You - Frugalware is beautiful
+Focus On Package(s) - Gigolo and medit
+
+
+
+
+
+Events
+
+Here's a selection of events which have occurred since the previous
+newsletter:
+
+
+
+Frugalware 1.0 is here!
+On 22 March 2009, Frugalware 1.0 - code name 'Anacreon' - was
+released to the world. VMiklos has said that the number alone doesn't
+mean anything but after 5 years of development, I think Frugalware is
+quite mature. In the past 12 months, there has been a lot of work going
+on that is not visible to Frugalware users. We have new developers, the
+excellent work of the artwork team, new translations, a GUI service
+management tool, excellent progress on a GUI installer and new
+contributors. The future looks very good for Frugalware.
+
+
+Xfce 4.6 has been released
+On 27 February 2009, the Xfce development team announced the release
+of Xfce 4.6. Improvements included in this release include:
+
+a new configuration backend;
+a new settings manager;
+a brand new sound mixer;
+several huge improvements to the session manager.
+
+Unfortunately Xfce 4.6 won't be included in Frugalware 1.0 because
+it's still being packaged and tested.
+
+
+A Frugalware award!
+Solisius wins the award for most bug reports in one day, with five 
on
+3 March 2009. Well done!
+
+
+Vietnamese translations
+Clytie Siddall has begun providing Vietnamese translations of
+Frugalware projects, including GFpm, fw-control-center and gservice.
+Since we want Frugalware to be accessible by as many people as 
possible,
+translations are required to achieve this goal. Thanks to Clytie and 
all
+other translators.

+Tips and tricks - RTFM
+  
+
+  Events etc.
+
+  Here's a selection of events which have occurred since the previous
+  newsletter:
+
+  
+
+  Frugalware 1.1 (Getorin) was released
+
+  On 7 September 2009, VMiklos announced the release of Frugalware 1.1 -
+  code-named 'Getorin'. This is the most exciting event that's happened
+  recently, with Getorin being the 11th release. Congratulations to the
+  whole of the developer team, because it includes some exciting changes,
+  including:
+
+  
+Up to date packages: Linux kernel 2.6.30.5, GNU C library 2.10.1,
+Xorg 7.4 with xorg-server 1.6, GNOME 2.26.3, XFCE 4.6.1, GCC 4.4.0 to
+name a few major components;
+
+New artwork, including a new wallpaper and various themes based on
+it;
+
+An x86_64 flash plugin as part of the default installation.
+  
+
+
+
+  Frugalware 1.1's release party
+
+  The party to celebrate Frugalware 1.1's release was a great success.
+  Everyone enjoyed themselves, talking about the past 5 years of Frugalware
+  and what the next 5 years might bring. VMiklos is still hoping that the
+  next 5 years bring him a Mercedes Benz 'Kompressor'. Talking of cars,
+  there was good and bad news about the party's food. First, the good news
+  - Cedynamix works at a car workshop, and so was able to get sponsorship
+  of the food by Michelin, the tyre manufacturer. Now the bad news - the
+  food was actually made of re-processed rubber so although it looked OK,
+  it tasted like old car tyres. :( Next time we'll think twice before
+  accepting sponsorship. Aside from the food, we hope the next release
+  party is as much fun.
+
+
+
+  A new contributor
+
+  Pingax - a new Frugalware contributor - recently submitted a
+  FrugalBuild for mp3blaster, a command-line MP3 player. The FrugalBuild
+  was reviewed and accepted by Devil505. Thanks to Pingax for the
+  contribution and we hope this is the start of a long packaging
+  career.
+
+
+
+  "Best of Hints and Tips"
+
+  I'll soon be featuring a selection of the best hints and tips that
+  have appeared in the newsletter. Of course the first task is to select
+  the best from all past newsletter issues. I asked my mother and she said
+  "Oh but they're each as good as each other", which didn't help at all.
+  I'll just have to do the hard work myself. :(
+
+  
+
+  Getting To Know You
+
+  In this section of the newsletter, we get to know Frugalware Linux a
+  little at a time. This is not meant to replace the official documentation but
+  instead make it easier to read. This should suit those those people who, like
+  me, have short attention spans. :)
+
+  Vanilla packages
+
+  Frugalware's packages are as close as possible to the source code provided
+  by the project. Frugalware-specific patches are only applied when necessary -
+  e.g. to fix a security bug for which an official release hasn't been made.
+  There are several good reasons for using "vanilla" (unpatched

+  Frugalware Linux Newsletter - Issue 52
+
+  ...to inform...to educate...to entertain
+
+  When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they discovered that pens 
would not work in zero gravity. To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a 
decade and $12 million developing the ball point pen that writes in zero 
gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at 
temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300C.
+
+  When confronted with the same problem, the Russians used a pencil.
+
+  Welcome
+
+  The newsletter's aim is to keep you up to date with what's happened
+  recently in the world of the Linux distribution 'Frugalware'.
+
+  Features of this issue include:
+
+  
+Gnome 2.28 is now available
+
+Frugalware's users are people too - DeX77
+
+Tips and tricks - "Seeing is believing"
+
+Focus On Package(s) - Celestia and UKopp
+  
+
+  Events etc
+
+  Here's a selection of events which have occurred since the previous
+  newsletter:
+
+  
+
+  An ego the size of a whale!
+
+  I have had thousands of email messages from newsletter readers asking
+  why, at the end of each newsletter, I remind everyone that it is I who
+  writes the newsletter. Is it because I have an ego the size of a whale?
+  Believe it or not, I don't do it because I want to take all the credit.
+  Instead I want remind everyone that any errors in the newsletter are
+  entirely my fault and not of the developers or other
+  contributors.
+
+
+
+  Gnome 2.28 is now available
+
+  Gnome 2.28 was recently released and the development team has already
+  packaged it and it's now available from the "current" repository. There
+  have been many changes since the previous release, and there are a lot of
+  dependencies, so it is a difficult, time-consuming job to package it all.
+  Many thanks for Bouleetbil and others in the development team for their
+  hard work.
+
+
+
+  Don't cry for me, Argentina
+
+  OK - in fact wherever you live, don't cry for Anacreon, Frugalware
+  release 1.0. After all, we have a new stable release in Getorin,
+  Frugalware release 1.1. Anacreon was a good, reliable friend but when a
+  more current model, with even more features comes along, it's hard not to
+  resist. If you're still running release 1.0, please consider upgrading.
+  Anacreon will understand and anyway, all Frugalware releases have a
+  special place in our hearts.
+
+
+
+  "Quick Draw" Devil505
+
+  If Devil505 had been a gunfighter in America's Wild West, I would
+  never have challenged him to a gun fight. A Frugalware user recently
+  submitted a bug report for a package named 'wifi-radar'. According to my
+  mail client, this bug was reported at 6:53 pm and Devil505 submitted a
+  patch to fix this bug at 7:36 pm. That's what I call quick! Of course not
+  all bugs get fixed this quickly, but it's good when it does happen.
+
+  
+
+  Frugalware's users are people too
+
+  This is the latest in a series of interviews with Frugalware users, in
+  which we get to know a little a

+  What Planet are you on?
+
+  Devil505 and VMiklos recently made several improvements to the

+  has added feeds for several developers' blogs, including his own. :) He's
+  also improved the look of the site, with each blog entry contained in a
+  speech bubble. I really like the result of his work and I hope you do
+  too. VMiklos made some changes to the code behind the site so that people
+  could choose to see only blog entries in a specific language - e.g.
+  French. The Planet is open to anyone's blog which features Frugalware and
+  related topics. Contact Devil505 if you would like to have your own blog
+  added to the feed. I encourage everyone to read the Planet entries
+  regularly because there are some very interesting blog entries there.

+
+  Frugalware developer Bouleetbil recently packaged Gnome 2.28. For most

+  rest for a week or so. For Bouleetbil, though, it seems that he needed a

+  Welcome
+
+  The newsletter's aim is to keep you up to date with what's happened
+  recently in the world of the Linux distribution 'Frugalware'.

+Getting To Know You - What is a FrugalBuild?
+  
+
+  Events
+
+  Here's a selection of events which have occurred since the previous
+  newsletter:
+
+  
+
+  New artwork for 'Locris'
+
+  Artwork for Frugalware release 1.2 - code-name 'Locris' is already in
+  progress. If you want to see an example of what the artwork team are
+  working on, look http://artwork.frugalware.org/doku.php?id=artwork12";>here. The
+  release of 1.2 is not due until March 2010, so there is plenty of time to
+  work on artwork. If you would like to produce a piece of artwork - a
+  wallpaper, a splashscreen, whatever you want - please do because we'd
+  like to see your work. Post anything you create to the Frugalware forums
+  with a few words about your creation. If you have ideas about artwork
+  that you think should be the default for Locris, please also post a
+  message in the Frugalware forums. This gives others a chance to discuss
+  your ideas.
+
+  A lot of thought and work went into the artwork for release 1.1 -
+  'Getorin'. We had a new, fantastic wallpaper created by Centuri0, which
+  was the basis for all other splashscreens and GDM etc. We also had a new
+  default GTK theme and icons set. All this made Getorin look great and
+  we're hoping that Locris will look even better. I believe that Steve Jobs
+  gave the design team for the Mac instructions that he wanted to make
+  people using it want to lick the icons off the screen. Our goal is to
+  make Frugalware look so good, users will want to kiss their PC. The only
+  problem is if one of Devil505's usual wallpapers (go to
+  http://frugalware-art.org and search for anything submitted by Devil505)
+  becomes the default for 1.2, you might be kissing a semi-naked woman. Try
+  to explain that to your friends and family!
+
+
+
+  Frugalware 1.2 -'Locris' pre1 has been released
+
+  On 7 November 2009, VMiklos announced the release of Frugalware Linux
+  1.1pre1, the first pre-release. These are released so that everyone who
+  is interested can test it and report bugs before the final release. As I
+  say with every release, if you have the bandwidth and time required,
+  please test it. The developer team need your help to
+  make 1.2 the very best we can.
+
+
+
+  "Who turned out the lights?"
+
+  You may have noticed that several of the Frugalware web sites were
+  offline recently for a few days. This downtime was caused by a hardware
+  problem with 'Helicon', one of the Frugalware servers. Hardware
+  maintenance on the server had actually been planned but the hardware
+  fault occurred before the planned date for the maintenance. It's not all
+  bad news, though, because Helicon had better CPUs installed, making it a
+  more powerful server than before. Apologies to everyone for the downtime
+  but such things do happen sometimes. We hope you managed to find
+  something else to do instead of browsing the Frugalware home page and Bug
+  Tracker System.
+
+  identi.ca - a microblogging service running on a FLOSS platform - has
+  been mentioned previously in the newsletter. When VMiklos noticed the

OGMRip is a Gtk-based GUI application which allows you to copy ("rip")
content from DVDs, into your preferred format. It's very easy to use, with
the basic process of copying content being: (1) select desired content, (2)
-  select pre-defined output format, (3) click on [Go]. FIXME - find correct
-  'Go' button's label. If you want to extract content from several sources,
-  OGMRip has an enqueue option, which will add the copying job to a queue, and
-  when you're ready you can start them all and they will be processed in turn.
-  OGMRip's pre-defined output options are great, because you can define all the
-  various parameters for a target just once, and can then select it from the
-  drop-down list whenever you need to. For example, you could have one target
-  defined for your portable video player, and another one for your PC. Using
-  predefined output options mean that if you're not a "ripping" expert, you can
-  simply accept the default settings, but if you are an expert, you can change
-  settings or create a new predefined output target. It's also perfect if
-  someone you know needs to rip content because it hides from them all the

+  Frugalware Linux Newsletter - Issue 55
+
+  ...to inform...to educate...to entertain
+
+  "Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent
+  life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact
+  us."  Calvin, from the popular American comic
+  series "Calvin and Hobbes".
+
+  Welcome
+
+  The newsletter's aim is to keep you up to date with what's happened
+  recently in the world of the Linux distribution 'Frugalware'.
+
+  Features of this issue include:
+
+  
+The wiki is back!
+
+Happy birthday to Devil505
+
+FLOSS developers are people too
+
+Let's all go to Monaco
+
+Getting to know you - Dependencies
+  
+
+  Events
+
+  Here's a selection of events which have occurred since the previous
+  newsletter:
+
+  
+
+  Gimmix is upgraded
+
+  Priyank recently packaged a newer version of Gimmix, a GTK-based MPD
+  client. It's light on resources but has a great range of features. Gimmix
+  is rather special because Priyank is its developer as well as the
+  maintainer of its package. After all, who knows a baby better than its
+  father or mother? If you want a GUI MPD client, please try it.
+
+
+
+  The wiki is back!
+
+  As I reported in newsletter issue 53, the Frugalware wiki
+  unfortunately went offline weeks ago. The original wiki was lost, but
+  it's contents had been backed up by VMiklos. To restore the wiki required
+  a new installation, review of content and copying all content into the
+  new wiki, all done by VMiklos, Bouleetbil and Devil505. Many thanks to
+  them for their work. When I last checked, the wiki had a total 1,025
+  pages from 12 contributors.
+
+  The http://wiki.frugalware.org/";>Frugalware wiki - also
+  known as "FrugalWiki" - is based on MediaWiki, the wiki platform used by
+  the famous Wikipedia, as well as other sites. Frugalware is used by
+  people from many countries - and we're proud of that - and this means we
+  need a multi-language wiki. MediaWiki doesn't allow wiki pages with the
+  same titles, so how can we have pages on the same topic in different
+  languages? Our answer is to include a reference to the language in the
+  title page. For details of this and other rules for editing the wiki,
+  please refer to the http://wiki.frugalware.org/index.php/FrugalWiki_Tutorial_(English)">FrugalWiki
+  tutorial.
+
+
+
+  Happy birthday to Devil505
+
+  Devil505 recently celebrated his 2nd birthday. "What!?", I hear you
+  say. "Do we really have a developer who is 2 years old? The answer is,
+  "Yes" and "No". I'm quite certain Devil505 is not 2 years old in real
+  life, although I don't know his real age. I do know that 2 years ago, he
+  was accepted into the Frugalware developer team. He's made a great
+  contribution to Frugalware over that time, helping not only by packaging
+  applications (mostly games), but also community activities, such
+  as the wiki and the artwork team. Congratulations, Devil505, and we look
+  forward to a lifetime of Frugalware-ing. That's right - one you're "in",
+  you're in for life!
+
+  To all other developers, I apologise. I promise I'll find out your
+  Frugalware birthday, mark it on the calendar, and mention it in the
+  newsletter.
+
+
+
+  What difference does two characters make?
+
+  If you subscribe to the #frugalware group's messages on Identi.ca, you
+  will often have seen URLs which have been shortened by the bit.ly

+  This issue of the newsletter is a special issue, devoted to a review of
+  Frugalware's achievements and events in 2009. There will be a "normal" issue
+  published soon. Most of the content in this issue has come from Frugalware
+  developer Devil505's blog, with his permission. However any factual errors
+  are the responsibility of myself (Phayz).
+
+  2009 - A Year In Review
+
+  2009 was a very successful year for Frugalware, with new developers, new
+  artwork, work on KDE4 having begun. The two scheduled releases were made on
+  time and included some great improvements. Projects such as Fwife (the GUI
+  installer) and a live USB option may make Frugalware more attractive to the
+  FLOSS community. Blogs are now more active than before and, together with a
+  presence on microblogging sites such as identi.ca, make those outside the
+  Frugalware community aware that ours is a very active distribution.
+
+  It's important to acknowledge that Frugalware's achievements in 2009 were
+  only possible because of the excellent work done in previous years. Thanks go
+  to everyone involved, both now and in the past: developers, artists,
+  translators and other contributors. In 2009 we had several new developers
+  join the project, but we also had several existing developers go quiet or
+  leave. For many reasons, people need a rest, or decide to leave the project.
+  Regardless of their reasons we thank them for their contribution and wish
+  them well in the future.
+
+  Congratulations to everyone involved in the Frugalware community on a
+  great year. Let's hope that 2010 is even better.
+
+  Do you remember when...?
+
+  Below are some of the highlights of 2009's events and achievements. Do you
+  remember where you were when Frugalware 1.0 was released? If I remember
+  correctly, I was asleep.
+
+  January
+
+  
+
+  A new developer
+
+  Elentir was accepted to the development team and immediately began
+  working on a Fwife, a GUI installer, soon releasing version 0.3.
+
+
+
+  gService
+
+  Priyank released gService, a GUI service level manager.
+
+
+
+  Microblogging arrived
+
+  Devil505 created a presence on Twitter. With the rise of identi.ca, an
+  open (as in "beer" and "free") microblogging service, he also created a
+  Frugalware group on that service. git commits began being announced on
+  identi.ca.
+
+
+
+  Baby steps for Cedynamix
+
+  Cedynamix, already active in the Ubuntu community, took his first
+  steps as a Frugalware contributor.
+
+  
+
+  February
+
+  
+
+  New artwork
+
+  A new wallpaper was voted by the developer team to be the default for
+  Frugalware release 1.0.
+
+
+
+  Count with me...1..2..3..4
+
+  The ext4 filesystem generally having been accepted as an improvement
+  over the ext3 filesystem, it was added as an option in the ncurses
+  installer.
+
+
+
+  Gnome 2.26
+
+  Gnome 2.26 was released and Bouleetbil began packaging it for
+  Frugalware.
+
+  
+
+  March
+
+  
+
+  We made it to 1.0!
+
+  Frugalware 1.0 - codename 'Anacreon' - was released, with cheers from
+  millions of people, street parades and generally a lot of excitement. In
+  fact my memory's not very good, so I may be thinking of the election of
+  the USA's new president. I'm quite sure, though, that there was a lot of
+  excitement on 1.0's release. Five years of hard work by developers,
+  artists, translators and other contributors had resulted in a
+  distribution to be very proud of.
+
+
+
+  A new Gnome in the garden
+
+  Gnome 2.26 was released to the 'current' repository, thanks to hard
+  work by Bouleetbil.

+  Frugalware Linux Newsletter - Issue 57
+
+  ...to inform...to educate...to entertain
+
+  "The number of people watching you is directly proportional to the
+  stupidity of your action."
+
+  Welcome
+
+  The newsletter's aim is to keep you up to date with what's happened
+  recently in the world of the Linux distribution 'Frugalware'.
+
+  Features of this issue include:
+
+  
+Farewell to Jercel
+
+Crazy's back
+
+I am missing "you"...
+
+Getting To Know You - Patches
+
+FLOSS developers are people too - Jeff Bailes
+  
+
+  Events
+
+  Here's a selection of events which have occurred since the previous
+  newsletter:
+
+  
+
+  From Last to Libre
+
+  Last.fm is a web-based service which analyses what music you play and
+  suggests music which you also might like. Until recently it was very
+  popular, including within the FLOSS community, because the service cost
+  nothing to use. However, some people were concerned about the fact that
+  it wasn't a FLOSS service, also privacy protection. Last.fm announced a
+  few months ago that it would begin charging users outside the USA, UK and
+  Germany for streaming media. This change was something which many people
+  could not accept.
+
+  In response to Last.fm's changes, Matt Lee, of the Free Software
+  Foundation (FSF) began a new, similar service named Libre.fm. The name
+  represents the fact that it's truly free, with no cost to users and being
+  licenced under the Affero GPL (AGPL). This is a quite new licence aimed
+  at web-based services which collect and store data from its users. The
+  AGPL ensures not only that the code to the service's software is free,
+  but also that each user's content is available to them, to take
+  elsewhere. This is something that most people don't consider until they
+  want to move to a different service and realise too late that they're
+  "locked in" to a service provider.
+
+  "How does this relate to Frugalware?" I can hear you ask. Frugalware
+  has a group on the web-based service Libre.fm, which allows users to
+  submit data about the music they listen to via their media player. The
+  idea is to allow members of the Frugalware group to know what music
+  others in the group are playing. If you play music while on your PC,
+  please join the Frugalware community on Libre.fm.
+
+
+
+  Farewell to Jercel
+
+  On 12 December 2009, Frugalware developer Jercel announced his
+  departure from the team in a message to the developers' mailing list.
+  He's leaving for professional reasons, as his current job, together with
+  his other commitments, doesn't leave him enough time to work on
+  Frugalware. We will miss him because over the 7 months he was a
+  developer, he made made an excellent contribution. Of course we wish him
+  well for the future.
+
+
+
+  Crazy's back
+
+  After recuperating in hospital for a while, Frugalware developer Crazy
+  has returned, already busy bumping packages. Aside from the large amount
+  of work that Crazy does, you have to admire him for his often
+  entertaining commit messages, such as:
+
+  
+* damn , forgot the patch :|
+
+* argh
+* that was meant as taglib-extra's' which is already there may
+
+* Ohh lol die here #Fdie -> Fdie ;)
+* I don't think it was meant like this
+  
+
+  Thankyou Crazy, for helping to make reading the developers&

+
+  Welcome
+
+  The newsletter's aim is to keep you up to date with what's happened
+  recently in the world of the Linux distribution 'Frugalware'.
+
+  Features of this issue include:
+
+  
+Frugalware's greatest hits
+
+Frugalware's artists are people too - WebEagle
+
+FLOSS developers are people too
+

+Focus On Package(s) - Droid fonts set

+
+  
+
+  NOTE: There is no "Getting To Know You" section in this
+  issue. I am not sure when this section will return, or if in fact it will
+  return. For the moment, I have explained all that I think is suitable for the
+  newsletter. If you would like to see this series continue, please post a

+
+  Here's a selection of events which have occurred since the previous
+  newsletter:
+
+  
+
+  Frugalware 1.2pre2 has been released
+
+  On 22 February 2010, VMiklos announced the release of Frugalware 1.2
+  pre2. This is the second in the series of pre-releases for 1.2 - codename
+  'Locris'. It already features some significant improvements over 1.1,
+  including:
+
+  
+Linux kernel 2.6.32.8
+
+OpenOffice.org 3.2.0
+
+KDE 4.3.5
+
+Mozilla Firefox 3.6
+
+Thunderbird 3.0.1
+  
+
+  As with every release, if you have the required bandwidth and time
+  available, please download and test this release. The more bugs
+  that are found now, the better quality will be the final release. If you
+  want to know the schedule for 1.2, refer to the http://frugalware.org/roadmap";>roadmap page.
+
+
+
+  Curses! It's pacman-g2!
+
+  Frugalware developer ryuo is considering writing an ncurses-based
+  interface to pacman-g2. For those that don't know, ncurses interfaces
+  have many of the features of GUI interfaces: windows, checkboxes, radio
+  buttons etc, but these are in a terminal. The aim would be to produce an
+  application which made it easier to manage packages, for those who don't
+  run XWindows or don't like GUIs. If you are interested in this being
+  developed, please mention in the forum. Please understand that ryuo is
+  seeking votes for or against this idea. Even if there are many votes of
+  "Yes", there is no guarantee that it will be developed.
+
+
+
+  Fwife 0.6 released
+
+  On his blog, Frugalware developer Elentir http://elentir.toile-libre.org/?page_id=102";>announced the release
+  of Fwife 0.6, a GUI installer for Frugalware. Since starting on the
+  project about 12 months ago, Elentir has made great progress. So that
+  users can test this release, he has created ISOs for both i686 and x86_64
+  architectures. You don't have to use a physical PC to do the testing,
+  since you can use software like QEMU and VirtualBox to create a virtual
+  environment. If you have some time available, please do help
+  because it's best if Fwife is tested on as many PC hardware combinations
+  as possible.
+
+
+
+  Beautiful Bisigi
+
+  The http://www.bisigi-project.org/?lang=en";>Bisigi
+  project has been mentioned in the newsletter before, and its aim is to
+  produce attractive, consistent themes for the GNOME desktop. They were
+  created primarily for Ubuntu, but they look equally good on a Frugalware
+  desktop (providing logos are changed :) ). Devil505 recently adapted them
+  for Frugalware and packaged them for installation via pacman-g2. If you
+  are running GNOME and/or GTK-based applications, try the Bisigi themes
+  because they are quite beautiful.
+
+
+
+  "And the award for the best book goes to..."
+
+  I recently downloaded and began reading the "http://book.git-scm.com";>Git community book", which was created from
+  content submitted by the community of Git's users. In the first few pages

+Frugalware Linux Newsletter - Issue 42
+
+...to inform...to educate...to entertain
+
+There are 10 types of people in the world - those who understand binary and
+those who don't. - A geek
+
+
+Welcome
+
+The newsletter's aim is to keep you up to date with what's happened recently
+in the world of the Linux distribution 'Frugalware'.
+
+Features of this issue include:
+
+To infinity...and beyond
+Will the real Cedric(k) please stand up?
+Frugalware's developers are people too - VMiklos
+Tips and tricks - Unlucky in love?
+Focus On Package(s) - lsof
+
+
+
+
+Events
+
+Here's a selection of events which have occurred since the previous
+newsletter:
+
+
+
+To infinity...and beyond
+26 March 2009, VMiklos announced the codename for the next 
Frugalware
+release - 1.1 -  "Getorin".  It's exciting to try and guess what might
+be included in the next release.
+
+
+Will the real Cedric(k) please stand up?
+In an event that was sure to happen at some point, we have a
+developer and contributor with very similar first names - Cedrick
+Hannier and Cédric Archambeau.  The following options have been 
proposed
+to avoid any confusion between the two Cedric(k)s:
+
+Each Cedric(k) could wear a name tag, with their full name clearly
+marked.  Of course someone has already pointed out that this is a 
stupid
+option because unless you live in France, they'd be so far away that 
you
+couldn't read the name tag;
+One of the Cedric(k)s could change their name.  This is perhaps the
+simplest option, but neither Cedric(k) seems to like the idea;
+Each developer or contributor could be assigned a unique,
+sequential number.  This has already been discussed amongst the
+development team, but no-one could agree on if the numbering should
+start from 0 or 1.
+
+I hope we can come up with a solution by the next newsletter.
+
+
+Gnome 2.26
+On 25 March 2009, Bouleetbil made available - via the 'current'
+repo packages for Gnome 2.26.  Thanks to him for his hard work.  Gnome
+consists of a lot of packages and it's a difficult and time consuming
+job to get it all done.
+
+
+
+
+Updates
+
+Here is a selection of packages which have been updated since the previous
+newsletter:

+Frugalware's developers are people too - VMiklos
+
+In this issue we have a very special interview with VMiklos, the founder of
+Frugalware Linux.  I thought it would be interesting to have him look back on
+the past 5 years and to the future.
+
+
+What were your goals when you started the Frugalware project?
+
+I had to search back, I could only remember that there were
+three goals. Here they are:
+
+A fast package manager, written in C (versus Slackware's
+pkgtool which was slow and was written in bash);

+“If you only do what you know you can do- you never do very much.”  
Tom
+Krause
+
+
+Welcome
+
+The newsletter's aim is to keep you up to date with what's happened recently
+in the world of the Linux distribution 'Frugalware'.
+
+Features of this issue include:
+
+Look out!  He's a maniac!
+Exceed (AKA Cédric)
+Frugalware's artists are people too - Centuri0
+Getting To Know You - newsletter
+Focus On Package(s) - Smokin' Guns

+
+
+Events
+
+Here's a selection of events which have occurred since the previous
+newsletter:
+
+
+
+Look out!  He's a maniac!
+TranzeManiaC, the Swedish translator for Frugalware, took a break 
for
+a while due to "a rough period where life kept sidetracking me". We
+welcome him back and look forward to his work in updating the Swedish
+translations.  He's also taken up work on several packages and we look
+forward to the results of his packaging work.  As VMiklos highlighted
+in the previous issue, each current developer has a very high number of
+ packages, so more developers are welcome.
+
+
+Exceed (AKA Cédric)
+In the previous newsletter I mentioned that there had been some
+   confusion caused by a developer and contributor whose first names were
+very similar - Cédric and Cedrick. Cédric very kindly decided to
+resolve this confusion by giving himself the nickname "Exceed".  Thanks
+ for resolving this confusion, Cédric...oops, I mean Exceed.

+Library for fast arithmetic with dense matrices over F(2)

+Version bump. Editor's comment - Does anyone understand what this 
means?
+ I didn't fail mathematics, but I don't know what a "dense matrix" is, nor
+ what "F(2)" is.  Oh well.

+
+Frugalware's artists are people too - Centuri0
+
+I recently had the idea of interviewing the members of the Frugalware 
artwork
+team.  This is a quite new team but they've already produced some great work. I
+can only draw stick people so I'm impressed both those who, like the artwork
+team, have artistic talent. Their role is to make Fruagalware look good and 
this
+is not quite as easy as it you might think.  I hope you enjoy this series of
+interviews.
+
+
+   What's your name?
+   Antoine Ch. I'm 22, and I'm a student.
+
+   What's your IRC/forum nickname?
+   Centuri0
+
+   In what country do you live?
+   France (Lyon7)
+
+   In what country were you born?
+   France (Paris)
+
+   Have you always been artistic?
+   I've always loved writing (fiction), and have played the
+   saxophone since I was 10, but never did "graphical" stuff.
+
+   Do you create artwork in other forms - sculpture, painting
+   etc?
+   Absolutely not. 
+
+   What operating system(s) do you use when creating artwork?
+   
+   Frugalware of course! 1.0 Anacreon, stable.
+
+   What software do

+Frugalware Linux Newsletter - Issue 44
+
+...to inform...to educate...to entertain
+
+"Look at life through the windshield, not the rear-view mirror"  Byrd
+Baggett
+
+
+Welcome
+The newsletter's aim is to keep you up to date with what's happened recently
+in the world of the Linux distribution 'Frugalware'.
+
+Features of this issue include:
+
+Frugalware 1.1pre1 was released
+Frugalware 1.1 is coming - let's party!
+Frugalware's artists are people too - leo
+   Focus On Package(s) - chm2pdf and Open ClipArt Library
+
+
+
+
+Events
+
+Here's a selection of events which have occurred since the previous
+newsletter:
+
+
+
+   Frugalware 1.1pre1 was released
+   On 12 May 2009, VMiklos announced that 1.1pre1 had been released.
+   This is a technical preview, allowing users to test for bugs, and see
+   what new features have been added.  Congratulations to the
+   development team on their hard work.
+
+
+Frugalware 1.1 is coming - let's party!
+With the final release of 1.1 due on 1 September 2009, I'm arranging
+   the release party, at which we can all relax and celebrate another
+   milestone.  The French development team hosted the 1.0 release party,
+   in the garage of Hermier's home.  It would have been quite comfortable,
+   because Hermier's home is actually a small castle, located in a
+   beautiful area in France.  Unfortunately the event was held in his
+   garage, but he didn't move his cars!  It was quite difficult fitting 16
+   people into just 2 Citroën sedans, but with the help of tar and bzip,
+   everyone fitted in.  Every time someone took a drink, either the car
+   alarm started, the windscreen wipers came on, or the horn beeped.
+   Despite these problems, everyone had a good time.
+For release 1.1 we will hold the event via IRC so that all
+   Frugalware users can enjoy the celebrations.  We'll arrange a time in
+   the Frugalware users' channel when everyone is to join.  You will then
+   need to describe what you're doing, to encourage a party "feeling".
+   Example messages might include "having a sip of my beer", "eating some
+   potato chips", and "my boss is wondering what i'm doing".  For those
+   drinking alcohol, the messages will probably become more and more like
+   Hungarian, which will hopefully make Hungarian users feel more welcome.
+   
+Further announcements will be made closer to the release date.
+   Although it's still a few months away, I hope you're beginning to feel
+   the excitement.
+
+
+Will all geeks please raise their hands?
+VMiklos, if you haven't already got your hand up, please raise it,
+   because this message is for you.  On 27 April 2009, VMiklos wrote in a
+   change message - "forgot to pkgrel++".  Instead of writing "Forgot to
+   increase the pkgrel's value by 1", he used a C language statement,
+   proving again that he's a "geek's geek".  :)   If he wasn't, we
+   wouldn't be using Frugalware, so let's be grateful he's a geek.
+
+
+Bunker photo
+In issue 40, Fanch said in his user interview that he couldn't
+   provide a photo of where he was because it was "a bunker atmosphere".
+   He's now changed his mind and provided
+   http://frugalware.org/images/interviews/fanch_view.jpg"/>
+   this photo.
