[SLUG] [ot] Free city wide wireless lan
Dear list, I am thinking about the chance of building an ad hoc wireless than would cover a lot of Sydney. I know I am crazy but if there was 2-3 cheap DSL links out of the network with say 50 nodes using 'homebrew' antenna. The real goal is to provide 'free / low cost' Internet connections to people.

If the username/pwd screen is coming up from the CRM software then the proxy is working.

Re: [SLUG] [ot] Free city wide wireless lan
There's actually a group in Dublin have been doing this for years. Bunch of friends got together and simply put up antennae and bridges across the entire city. Dublin is obviously a much smaller town than Sydders, but the concept is the same. Can't remember the name of them, but don't doubt a little googlage would bring it to the surface.

Re: [SLUG] bugzilla setup
I got bugzilla working OK.For the record I had to create a link, this was missing /usr/share/bugzilla3/web/ /var/www/bugzilla3 I then had to hack out security from the scripts to configure it then reinstate it. Not sure what I did wrong in the set up. I got this error attempt to invoke directory as script: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/ I had scriptalias in my apache setup. This line had scriptalias and it stopped index.cgi being used. /etc/apache2/sites-available/default Alias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ Finally I got a couple of skins from https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Addons I went to /var/www/bugzilla3/skins and linked contrib/BrownCurvy/ to custom and it looks pretty nice now. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Oh the password thing is for sudo so it can run with root privileges, it's just the password you use to login to your desktop session. It says in the little quick start guide thingy that if you're on pre-paid you have to Ring Three and get them to activate your service. It also says to change the APN to 3services. This can be done from Network Manager by right clicking and going into the setup or just editing /etc/wvdial.conf directly (not sure if NM will overwrite).

[SLUG] Free Wireless
I am told that in many U.S. cities free Wi-Fi access is everywhere. It is getting a little better here with McDonalds now having free wi-fi at most of their establishments. I gave up on it here some time ago and use a mobile broadband modem on my EEE when out of the office. However, all is not lost in Sydney.

The different clients should not even know that the others exist. Right now it is about bug tracking but a full management process would be nice in the future. Well, from my experience you have two options in the free space: 1. Set up a separate bug tracking system (eg trac, bugzilla) for each client and/or project. 2. Use RT, and configure it with appropriate security. You are not going to get project planning, etc, out of RT though, since it is just a ticket management system. Sadly, you won't get the multi-client security out of anything else, though, so you are kind of stuck. Um, unless you pay big $$$ to someone commercial, which I don't recommend; it usually doesn't pay for itself. I was going to set up a wiki as well so if this was integrated it would be nice. Ability to store email for traceability would be good. RT handles the later, but not the wiki integration as such. It does have stable, predictable URL support, the ability to extend the UI and a good scripting API, though, so it is possible to integrate it to whatever external tools you wish. Ability to totally remove projects from the online once closed. RT doesn't delete things, but you can mark them deleted and they never show up unless you specifically search them. This is a feature. :) For others ... I don't know. We wouldn't use such a feature. There are some potentially huge files in these projects. You would want to store those in your VCS, not the ticketing system, if at all possible. Which VCS is best is a whole different discussion. Ability to restore projects, to main server or a backup server, to locate information on a closed project. ...as noted, we wouldn't use such a feature, since we want to refer to historical projects if the issue comes up.[1] Regards, Daniel Footnotes: [1] I suppose that after seven or ten years of project completion, when it isn't going to be refered to ever again we might consider it, but why bother?

[SLUG] Open Source Software Gurus, Canberra, April 2009
Though not in Sydney, 5 days in Canberra and the subject matter, might appeal to some on SLUG. Andrew Tridge Tridgell and Bob The Builder Edwards are running the course Free and Open Source Software Development (COMP8440) at the ANU in Canberra, starting 14 April 2009 http://cs.anu.edu.au/students/comp8440. Both are known for hacking the TiVo http://www.samba.org/%7Etridge/tivo-ethernet/. This course will not be easy and not your usual Powerpoint corporate training, but you have to climb the mountain to sit at the feet of the Gurus. ;-) --- ANU College of ENGINEERING COMPUTER SCIENCE Free Open Source Software (FOSS) The ANU Department of Computer Science is offering a Masters of Computing (five day intensive) course scheduled for Autumn 2009 (April). Lecturers: Dr. Andrew Tridgell Mr. Bob Edwards Want to learn how FOSS development works? Are you interested in the technical, legal and social aspects of the free software community? If so, then this could be the course for you... About the course This course aims to teach students about FOSS in a very practical manner. Students will learn about FOSS by studying and participating in real projects, with practical tutorial sessions making up most of the course time. The course will be run over five intensive days at the ANU in Canberra, and will be led by a lecturer with 20 years of experience in developing FOSS software. Interspersed with the practical sessions will be a series of lectures explaining important aspects of FOSS development, including topics such as: * The history of FOSS * How FOSS communities are organised and governed * How the development cycle works * How FOSS licenses work * legal issues faced by FOSS projects * Source code control systems * Bug tracking and quality control Program Information http://cs.anu.edu.au/students/comp8440 Marghanita -- Marghanita da Cruz http://www.ramin.com.au/linux Phone: (+61)0414 869202 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
