Do you tell Apache to add a "Content-Type"?
Do not when you let Zope set the Content-Type (which is good).

Use a profiler (e.g. my "ZopeProfiler") to find out
where the time is spent. Optimize the hotspots.


Furthermore, carefully check what pages, part of pages or
page resources (such as database query results) can be
cached. Use caching as agressive as possible.

Zope supports caching in many ways:

   *  setting HTTP cache headers such that an external cache
  (SQUID, Apache, ...) can intelligently cache pages

  --> HTTPCacheManager, "caching_policy_manager"

   *  caching parts of pages via the RAMCacheManager

   *  caching the result of relational database queries

   *  more caching types can be supported in your own
  products.

[Zope] Multiple ZODB for virtual hosts with ZEO

2005-09-17 Thread David Pratt
Hi. Is it possible for ZEO to be configured with multiple databases, 
one for each virtual host similar to creating a ZODB mount point for an 
instance so if there is a problem with a site's database it is limited 
to a single site and that individual backups can be made of each ZODB?  
Many thanks.


Regards,
David

Hadar,
  These are serious claims.  I talked to Paul who looked into it and
gave me the following information.  Note that, since the negotiations
are finished and the terms are agreed to, we can talk about this with
whomever is interested.


We have always been here to discuss the issues, and have continued to 
discuss them with numerous emails with a ZEA managing partner since my 
post yesterday. We have not ignored a single communication between us.



Some quick points:

1) ZEA emailed ZC on Aug 29, twice on Aug 30, Sep 5, and Sep 15.


True, nearly always in response to a prodding email from us, but that's 
not really the point.



2) The Sep 15 note reminded ZC of two points:

a. We don't have the paperwork yet.  We can't transfer something we
don't have.  (Contrary to public statements, the Plone paperwork
hasn't arrived either.)


I'm glad that someone finally admitted this (that the Plone paperwork 
hasn't been done!). As you say, it has been been claimed _publicly_ that 
this transfer was _complete_, and that only the WIPO database hasn't 
been updated.


As you can imagine, if the previous public claims were taken to be true 
(which we did!), then it should be a matter of "search/replace" 'Plone 
Foundation' for 'Zope Corporation' and we'd already have been done. I 
don't think it served anyone's interest to so loudly put ZC down for 
pointing out that ZEA still owned the Plone TM, when in fact it turns 
out that this is still the case months after we pointed it out...



b. We can't finish the transfer until ZC provides foreign address
information for certain countries. This was discussed in the mails
cited above.


This has already privately been pointed out to ZEA as incorrect. That 
said, even if it was correct, not a single paragraph of "terms" has been 
sent to us with a "blank" address line. Surely, a draft of the agreement 
can be shared with us before this address is supplied?


Also, there are _many_ countries (the ones we care most about, as we've 
been very honest and transparent about this fact in public) where the 
transfer can happen _immediately_ to our US address. To hold up the 
transfer in the UK (for example), because we might not qualify in 
Algeria (no offense to Algerians!!!), is beyond our comprehension.



3) ZEA has well over a hundred manhours over the last 18 months on
   this trademark.  We are getting no compensation for past, present,
   or future work. Yet, ZEA continues to help the process, as the
   emails will attest.


Agreed, and we appreciate that. Let's not rehash that ZEA shouldn't have 
ever spent one hour or one penny in this process, had they simply told 
us that _we_ were in danger from the "subversives"...



4) ZEA gave the contact info for the trademark attorney to ZC,
   encouraged ZC to contact her (hasn't happened), and instructed her
   to help.


This too is bogus. She is your vendor, and you are her client. You can't 
get any paperwork out of her even for the Plone Foundation, where there 
is "no contention or timing issue", but you expect us to deal with her 
directly, when we have no business relationship with her. Sorry, it 
doesn't fly.



These points might not be 100% right, ZEA might have made mistakes,
we're not perfect, the trademark attorney could respond faster, we
could email ZC twice per day, etc.


This is silly. It has dragged on for months, not days. If we don't 
write, we get _no updates_. Only when we ask, do we get updates. The 
updates always say "soon", and then we get _no updates_ again until we 
ask again, when we again hear "soon"...



On a personal note, ZEA is working for free to help ZC improve the
value of a sharelholder asset.  ZC might have legitimate complaints
about ZEA's performance.  However, public mudslinging does not incent
our pro bono help on the transfer process.  As ZEA has stated, ZC can
go directly to the trademark lawyer.


I don't agree that my post yesterday was public mudslinging. In fact, I 
went out of my way to say that we reached an agreement quickly and 
amicably, and that working with the ZEA people was a positive process.


That simply doesn't negate the fact that no "progress" has been made, 
even though a theoretical agreement has been reached.


Andreas is a recognized leader in the Zope community (being the primary 
release manager for Zope 2.x), and is someone I personally respect from 
my years of interaction with him when he was a Zope employee. He asked 
two legitimate questions, that deserved answers (I'm sure many more 
people were hoping someone else would ask).


As I pointed out today to one of the ZEA managing partners, the last 
communication we had from ZEA _after_ we informed them that we had 
restarted the legal process (the communication was from this same 
partner) stated clearly that there was nothing that ZEA could do to move 
the process forward. It didn't seem so harsh to simply answer Andreas' 
question accurately, with no disparagement to ZEA

Thanks for your quick answer.

Is there a reason not sending it to the list as well ?

I would appreciate if you would send it also to the mailing list.

Instead, public mudslinging and constantly threatening the Zope
Foundation could have a dire effect.  We are one reporter away from a
"Zope: The Next Mambo?" story[1][2].

We should immediately stop using the mailing lists and the Zope
Foundation as negotiation tools for ZC property.

ZEA might have mishandled things, or you might simply believe ZEA
isn't acting in good faith. Let's find an alternate outlet for this.

For example, add someone from ZEA to the advisory board that you
mentioned.  If you feel that ZEA isn't acting right, take it to the
advisory board.  ZEA gets a chance to respond.  If the advisory board
votes against ZEA, ZEA gets publicly thrown off the advisory board.

ZEA has agreed (from the beginning) to hand over the marks at no
financial gain.  Once ZC provides the missing information and ZEA gets
the papers, we're probably a few weeks away from wrapping this up.

Any niggles in this are just niggles.  The deal is done and there are
no disagreements on the terms.  The transfer process, although
complicated, is in progress.  Given this, the risk of being "The Next
Mambo" outweighs the perceived benefit from mudslinging.

What is the current status of the ZF?



The process is proceeding swiftly, and hopefully smoothly. We have draft 
documents of the TM Agreement and the By-Laws, and are well along the 
way to drafts of the IP Policy and the remaining documents.


We have formed a small committee of some representative groups in the 
Zope community, cutting across interests and geography, and we have IRC 
meetings to make sure that at the highest level, the initial documents 
will represent a broad community interest.


Can the name of people that are part of this small committee be 
published ? I'd like to know who might be representing me, this way I 
can ask him or them about the direction taken and maybe actually give 
them my opinion.




Before the actual formation of the Foundation, we will post all of the 
relevant documents for public comment, so those that are not on the 
current committee will still get a chance to weigh in before the By-Laws 
(for example) become final. 
Even after that, the Membership can alter 
the By-Laws in the future, so this is just the "starting point".




This is clear.

However, the starting point will be much more constructive if most 
members of the community that the Foundation claims willing to serve 
would have a chance to give their opinion on the bylaws as early as 
possible.


This would avoid that the persons currently working in the small 
committee feel personally attacked when one of us dislikes or disagrees 
about some of the points and makes it known loudly... after a lot of 
hard work has already been done.


It's still quite possible that everything will be wrapped up by the end 
of October (as originally projected), but we did have the delay in 
starting (more on that below) and there's still a lot to do, so it could 
slip a bit, but we certainly are doing everything in our power to make 
that date.




Ill finish with my usual recall that english is not my mothertongue and 
that it implies that I could be misusing some words without knowing 
about it.
