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:</p> + + <ul> + <li>Linux kernel 2.6.32.8</li> + + <li>OpenOffice.org 3.2.0</li> + + <li>KDE 4.3.5</li> + + <li>Mozilla Firefox 3.6</li> + + <li>Thunderbird 3.0.1</li> + </ul> + + <p>As with every release, if you have the required bandwidth and time + available, <em>please</em> 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 <a href= + "http://frugalware.org/roadmap";>roadmap</a> page.</p> + </li> + + <li> + <h3>Curses! It's pacman-g2!</h3> + + <p>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.</p> + </li> + + <li> + <h3>Fwife 0.6 released</h3> + + <p>On his blog, Frugalware developer Elentir <a href= + "http://elentir.toile-libre.org/?page_id=102";>announced</a> 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, <em>please</em> do help + because it's best if Fwife is tested on as many PC hardware combinations + as possible.</p> + </li> + + <li> + <h3>Beautiful Bisigi</h3> + + <p>The <a href="http://www.bisigi-project.org/?lang=en";>Bisigi</a> + 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.</p> + </li> + + <li> + <h3>"And the award for the best book goes to..."</h3> + + <p>I recently downloaded and began reading the "<a href= + "http://book.git-scm.com";>Git community book</a>", which was created from + content submitted by the community of Git's users. In the first few pages + is a list of people thanked for their help with the book. I was excited + and surprised to see, amongst names such as Linus Torvald, the name + Miklos Vajna. Whatever you did for the book, well done VMiklos! Now I + need to read the rest...</p> + </li> + + <li> + <h3>Frugalware's greatest hits</h3> + + <p>Amongst the Frugalware team are several talented musicians and to + celebrate Frugalware's 5th birthday, they have collaborated in making a + CD titled "Frugalware's Gonna Git Ya". The team's goal was to create an + emotional tribute to the Linux distribution that they work so hard to + maintain and improve. Every song was chosen because its title meant + something to its author. Although the song titles themselves are of very + popular songs (in some part of the world), the lyrics are entirely + original. WebEagle provided the use of his home studio for the entire + process of recording, mixing, editing and mastering of each track.</p> + + <p>So far public reviews have been very positive, with the reviewer in + Stone Rolling magazine quoted as saying "Every track on the CD made me so + emotional that I had to leave the room and couldn't return for a long + time." All tracks are available under a Creative Commons, Share-alike + licence, so please download them and share them with your friends and + family. A new album is already planned, with the working title + "Frugalware's Greatest Hits".</p> + + <dl> + <dt><strong>"Honey Honey" (Original artist - ABBA)</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>This song is dedicated to that amazing creature - the honey bee. + This amazing creature collects pollen from flowers and in turn + produces a very nutritious food. On this track Carl Anderson (AKA + beecarl) gives an emotional performance about the honey bee and what + this creature means to him.</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>C'Mon Wit Da Git Down (Original artist - + Artifacts)</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>Frugalware has used the git version control system for several + years now. Its features have allowed us to focus on our goals, + instead of having to worry about the version control system itself. + The title of this song could be translated to "If you want to join + the development team, first download git." All of Frugalware's + development team sing on this track, since they all use and love + git.</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>Git Bizzy (Original artist - Big Daddy Kane)</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>In this song we are all encouraged to use git in our daily lives, + or "git bizzy", as the title says. Crazy sings the lead vocals on + this track. If you listen closely, you may be able to hear some of + Crazy's actual commit messages amongst the lyrics.</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>I Want You Back (Original artist - The Jackson + 5)</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>This song is for everyone who has ever cried after accidentally + deleting an important file/partition. At the moment you clicked the + mouse button, or pressed the wrong key, you experience many emotions, + including rage, regret and sorrow. Don't be surprised if you find a + few tears come to your eyes as you listen to this track. The entire + development team sings, since everyone has been affected by this + tragedy at some time in their lives.</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>If You Don't Know Me By Now (Original artist - Simply + Red)</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>Let's be honest - geeks don't like to read documentation. Instead + they will try everything, before they finally give in and read the + manual. The full title of this track is "If You Don't Know Me By Now, + RTFM" but censorship rules required that the "RTFM" be removed from + the title. VMiklos is the lead singer on this track, with other + developers humming along.</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>"We Are The World" (Original artist - + Various)</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>Frugalware developers, contributors and artists live in many + countries. Cooperating in developing and improving Frugalware is a + great example of people making the world a better place. Each member + of the team takes a turn to sing part of this song, with everyone + singing on the chorus.</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>Pacman (original artist - Weird Al Yankovich)</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>Pacman(-g2) is such an important part of Frugalware that it simply + <strong>had</strong> to have an entire track dedicated to it. VMiklos + gives an incredible, emotional performance.</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>Jump (original artist - Van Halen)</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>On this track WebEagle sings about his career, which has involved + a lot of jumping out planes (with a parachute attached). In the time + between jumping out of the plane and landing on the ground, he plans + new artwork for Frugalware. If he is at work in the office and his + boss says "Jump", WebEagle's only question is "From how high?"</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>Secure Yourself (original artist - Indigo + Girls)</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>In the modern world of technology, there are threats all around + us. To help every Frugalware user improve the security of their PC or + server, voroskoi sings about security hints and tips.</p> + </dd> + </dl> + </li> + </ul> + + <h2><img src="http://frugalware.org/images/newsletter/community.png"; align= + "left">Frugalware's artists are people too</h2> + + <p>This is the latest series of interviews with members of the Frugalware + artwork team. Their role is to create artwork which can be used various + aspects of Frugalware to make it look good. It's not as easy as it sounds, + with monitors of different dimensions and the various applications which can + be themed having different methods of themeing.</p> + + <p>This issue's interview is with WebEagle, so please read on...</p> + + <dl> + <dt><strong>What's your name?</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>My name is Tristan Jouët.</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>What's your IRC/forum nickname?</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>my nickname is WebEagle and I am often on the French channel (on + Freenode).</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>In what country do you live?</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>I live in Paris (France).</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>In what country were you born?</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>I was born of course in France.</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>Have you always been artistic?</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>I am an officer in the paratroopers in the French Army, but I have + loved everything related to art since I was little... I like to draw from + time to time but that is not really my passion. I have begun doing + web-site design but it's hard to begin it with free software (I know I + only need to use a text editor but that's a little bit boring).</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>Do you create artwork in other forms - sculpture, painting + etc?</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>I play airsoft (I know, I love action) so I love customizing (by + painting) my replicas. I play music too (synthesizer). I love electro + music and free music (I will also soon publish singles on Jamendo).</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>What operating system(s) do you use when creating + artwork?</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>I discovered Frugalware 4 months ago , by a post (I don't remember + where) of Devil505 and I fell under the spell of this very responsive + distribution with a great community.</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>What software do you use to create artwork?</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>I only use a tablet, Gimp, and Agave to create this artwork, and of + course on Frugalware . I did it just for fun, no stress ... Through this + I met many very nice people like Devil505 , Lenezir , Centuri0 , Mckey + and other super guys.</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>How do you think Frugalware's artwork might be + improved?</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>I think Frugalware's artwork might be improved by a larger number of + artists because there are only three of us and all are French, so that's + not really funny. But Frugalware is not really famous, its installer is + full of bugs and not very attractive, but I know the team works hard to + arrange it all. I hope this artwork will make people want to create the + next release's artwork and to test Locris. I hope that Locris will be + really great ... maybe that soon you will see me as a packager ;) .</p> + </dd> + + <dd> + <h2><img src="http://frugalware.org/images/newsletter/community.png"; + align="left">FLOSS developers are people too</h2> + + <p>Without developers, we wouldn't have the Linux kernel and all the + software that we run on the platform. What motivates FLOSS developers? + Why does anyone choose to spend their time writing software when they + don't get paid to do so? What do developers do when they're not writing + software? These questions and more are the inspiration behind this new + section of the newsletter.</p> + + <p>In interviews with FLOSS developers, we get to know them a little + better as people, and what motivates them in their quest for better + software. I'm very excited by this new series because I admire their work + very much. I'm also very grateful to them for taking the time to reply to + my requests.</p> + + <p>Interviews in the next few issues will feature:</p> + + <ul> + <li>The developer of Code Browser;</li> + + <li>David Siegel - Gnome Do developer;</li> + + <li>Jesse van den Kieboom - gedit developer.</li> + </ul> + + <p>This issue, we have an interview with Ali Abdallah - Xfce and Parole + developer</p> + + <dl> + <dt><strong>What's your name?</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>Ali Abdallah</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>What FLOSS projects are you involved in?</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>The Xfce Goodies Project, which includes additional software for + Xfce to make this desktop environment more complete. I developed a + power manager and currently I'm developing a media player called + Parole, with plans for more projects.</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>What led to you being a FLOSS + developer/contributor?</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>I was having fun building my own packages from scratch to get a + functional system. I knew Xfce by coincidence from a forum, got its + source code and started building it. Without too much pain and + external dependencies, I quickly got a fast, simple and usable + desktop environment. At that moment also I was reading a book about + Gtk+. Having the book and the Xfce code as perfect examples in front + of me was a big motivation to start learning real world programming, + so I started by writing my own battery plug-in for the Xfce panel. + Shortly after that I started to work on a power manager for Xfce, + since it didn't have one. I sent my work to the Xfce mailing list and + they were very kind to encourage me to continue.</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>What do you like about being a FLOSS + developer/contributor?</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>Freedom and knowledge sharing, the thing that when you work on a + project and you publish the results including the source code is a + major point. Just like Math when you work on a theory and you publish + your work so other people can contribute and continue its + improvements. This is the case in Math and FLOSS, but unfortunately + it is not in computer science. FLOSS is a very big source of + information. When I work on a project for Xfce I already have many + working examples to learn from, to get their source, modify it if + needed and publish the modifications.</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>What don't you like about being a FLOSS + developer/contributor?</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>Too much freedom probably. Let me explain, it is not about FLOSS + itself, but it is about two issues that I face all the time as a + FLOSS developer, contributor and user. First, the relationship + between the developer and the end users is sometimes horrible. A + simple search on a bug tracker system of a FLOSS project will most + probably reveal sentences like, "you don't pay me", "it is working + for me, if you have a problem with it fix it yourself", "don't waste + my time" and so on... In addition you will see important bug reports + that are lingering forever, fortunately this is not the case in Xfce. + Honestly I'm not saying that because I work for this project, but I + face this problem myself almost everywhere.</p> + </dd> + + <dd> + <p>Second the developers of FLOSS feel that they have too much + freedom to completely re-write their projects. Things get complicated + when these projects are important services and libraries. If there is + an API change it makes life harder, specially for desktop developers, + to keep their project compatible with these changes. But I have to + say this is reduced a lot these days, and now i feel that there is a + clear strategy on how things should go.</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>What motivates you to work on your + project(s)?</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>The same motivation that motivates me to work on Math, drink + alcohol have sex and other things that I like, the pleasure.</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>What do you do outside the FLOSS world?</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>Professionally, I work for the the European Organization for + Nuclear Research - CERN, as a programmer. Aside from that, as I'm + mathematician by the way, I'm interested in mathematics and + fundamentals, especially logic, and i work in my free time on these + topics.</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>What operating system(s) do you use and why?</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>I use Linux, on my laptop and my home server, because I have the + possibility to study it and at any time I can modify a part of it to + fit my needs. Of course this is possible on other operating systems + but I use Linux because in the last three years Linux gained good + hardware support compared to other operating systems. In addition a + lot of FLOSS projects are developed and tested under Linux.</p> + </dd> + + <dt><strong>If people are interested in helping your project(s), how + might they do this?</strong></dt> + + <dd> + <p>Probably in my projects I need people to translate into their own + native language and to test of course. In Xfce we are in need of + people, there are a lot of things to do, for very few people. It is a + pleasure for everybody in Xfce to see people wanting to contribute to + this nice project.</p> + </dd> + </dl> + + <h2>Getting To Know You</h2> + + <p>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. :)</p> + + <h2><img src="http://frugalware.org/images/newsletter/tip.png"; align= + "left">Tips and tricks</h2> + + <p><b>Disclaimer</b> - Be aware that the hints & tips provided here + have NOT been tested and so come with no warranty.</p> + + <h3>Configuring font settings without a desktop environment - ryuo</h3> + + <p>Configuring the appearance of your desktop is easy if you are using a + desktop environment such as GNOME, KDE, Xfce etc. But how do you + configure these options if you are <em>not</em> using</p>a desktop + environment? This question has been answered by Frugalware developer + ryuo. + + <p>There are several options available which you can set to change the + appearance of fonts. To set these without a desktop environment, you have + to edit a file named .Xdefaults, in your home directory. If you don't + already have such a file, simply create it. Below is a table of the + options and the values to which they can be set. Put one setting on a + line, a space, then the desired value. To enable most of these settings + requires you to restart X.</p> + + <dl> + <dt>Xft.dpi:</dt> + + <dd>This option defines the resolution at which X is to run. For best + results, make sure your monitor can use this resolution.</dd> + + <dt>Xft.rgba:</dt> + + <dd>This option defines the subpixel hinting. Options are: rgb, bgr, + vrgb, vbgr and none. Refer to your monitor's manual for the optimal + value.</dd> + + <dt>Xft.hinting:</dt> + + <dd>This option turns hinting on or off. Options are: true or + false.</dd> + + <dt>Xft.hintstyle:</dt> + + <dd>This option defines the hinting style. Options are: hintslight, + hintmedium, hintfull or hintnone.</dd> + </dl> + + <h3>Got a problem? Ask your teddy bear!</h3> + + <p>In a blog article I read recently (which was apparently based on + another blog post), readers were encouraged to talk to their teddy bear + if they had a problem. The idea was that if you had a problem, you could + sometimes solve it yourself if you had to explain it to someone. Simply + explaining the problem and its symptoms to someone else sometimes brings + on a "eureka" moment, when something in your brain clicks and you suddenly + think of the solution yourself. In the original blog entry or article, a + person in a technical support role would not listen to people's problems + until they had first explained it to the teddy bear tied to his desk. This + person found that many people turned away, having solved their problem for + themselves.</p> + + <p>Before reporting a bug then, perhaps you could first try explaining it + to your teddy bear. If you don't have a teddy bear, perhaps choose + something else - maybe a door? Just make sure you are alone, otherwise + you might solve your technical problem but find yourself with another + problem. :P</p> + + <p>This section relies on your contributions! If you have some tips and + tricks that you would like to be shown in the newsletter, <em>please</em> + post them on the forums.</p> + + <h2><img src="http://frugalware.org/images/newsletter/package.png"; align= + "left">Focus On Package(s)</h2><br> + + <h3>Droid fonts set</h3> + + <p>Frugalware developer Devil505 recently took a break from packaging + games and instead packaged the <a href= + "http://www.droidfonts.com";>Droid</a> set of fonts. The TrueType fonts + were created specifically for the Android mobile platform, but they are + compatible with Linux and other platforms. They were designed to look + stylish but also be clear and crisp, especially important on a small + screen. The set of fonts currently includes Droid Sans, Droid Sans Mono + and Droid Serif, with condensed versions of Droid Sans in development. + The Sans Mono (obviously a monospace font) is especially nice, so try it + in your favourite terminal emulator, text editor or IDE.</p> + + <p>If you are interested in fonts, please also read the <a href= + "http://www.droidfonts.com/droidfonts/about/";>story</a> about the + development of the Droid fonts because it's very interesting. Like the + software we run on Linux, the freedom of the fonts we use is also + important.
