Hi all,

The next Sydney Open Source Industry Australia (OSIA) meeting will be 
held at Insightful's office in North Sydney on Wednesday th May from 8am 
to 9:30am


Level 8, 33 Berry Street
North Sydney (Corner Pacific Highway)
Contact: Marc Englaro: 0418 763 945

NOTE: this is a different venue to the last meeting which was held at 
Syntonic two doors up the road.


The Agenda for the meeting is:

- Status of the the OSIA Website update
- OSIA at the upcoming CeBIT tradeshow
- 2   x Presentation of the Month- tba.
- General Business  Networking

We have time for two 20 minute presentations, so let me know if you have 
something cool and /or interesting that you'd like to talk about.  I'm 
talking to Ingres (who are recent OSIA members) about whether they can 
talk about the new Ingres offerings.   If there is a slot available, 
I'll do a presentation on how we're finding selling the new Trixbox Pro 
VOIP PABX system in Australia.


Coffee is available in the foyer of the building, in Napier Street and 
two places in Berry Street, so there's no excuse about it being too early


Regards,
Marc

Re: [SLUG] NTFS HD, chkdsk and ntfsresize?

2008-05-01 Thread Martin Visser
Amos' advice below is actually not correct in all circumstances. If
you are shrinking a NTFS filesystem, you should *NOT* change the host
partition size with fdisk first. By doing this, ntfsresize will no
longer have access to the tail of the partition you have chopped
off, and you will have a broken NTFS filesystem (The tail would be
left in unallocated space)

Is it safe to use sudo ntfsresize  --force -s 43896M /dev/sda1 or do I 
 risk
   losing my data?

  You should first resize the partition in the partition table (using
  fdisk, delete then re-create the partition, change its type to 7
  (NTFS)), have you done that?
  After that is done, ntfsresize will by default automatically resize
  the file system to occupy the entire partition (see the bottom of the
  output from running ntfsresize without arguments).

2008-05-01 Thread Martin Visser
An unchecked NTFS filesystem can be mounted in Ubuntu, but only if you
force it to be mounted read-only (so at least you can read the data)

 I have a 120gb SATA HD formatted NTFS ( 2 partitions - dont think 2nd is
 used/formatted as only 1 shows up) in my Kubuntu Hardy PC.

  Cant mount the HD, requires CHKDSK to be run as error message says drive
 not shut down properly.

[SLUG] Re: OT Open Source CRM Package

2008-05-01 Thread Silvia Pfeiffer
Open Source CRM - just plug that into google search and it will tell
you.

We've been using SugarCRM for a bit and it's ok for our purposes. But
you have to evaluate the ones available for your purposes.

Cheers,
Silvia.

  We are looking for an Open Source CRM package that will take all e-mails
  from Microsoft Outlook and export the mail folders from them into the CRM
  package and have all the e-mails stored on the server so that all customer
  details will be on the server. On the CRM package there can be levels of
  security so that the md's data and the data for the staff are separate.

 Seems that you have 2 issues here:

 1) getting the emails from Outlook
 2) an Open Source CRM

 For 1), what details do want? Email address only? All email to that
 customer? Name? Is the email stored in .pst files on each user's
 workstation, or up on an Exchange server? If on an Exchange server, one
 way to access the emails would be to enable IMAP and get at the data via
 a perl script

 For 2) don't know. But I seem to remember Sridar posting about a package
 a few days ago.

Thanks for the replies. This works fine. It also works if you drop the

$ mutt -e my_hdr Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s subject line -a file

It's good you got a fix but I thought it must be possible to
give the entire message like giving it to sendmail - because
you can 'E' on a draft and see / edit the entire message inclding
headers.

The man page mentions:

   -H draft
Specify a draft file which contains header
and body to use to send a message.


So that should work - if you know how to prepare a complete,
sensible header and body.

Matt
