For l-h: I hope you don't consider this as off-topic. If anybody
feels annoyed by this newsletter, let me know, I won't post it
again as a whole in future.
Hello there,
no you didn't miss anything, there was no february newsletter.
* 16th International Packet Radio Convention
Jochen and HP will give a lecture and a workshop at the PR convention in
Darmstadt. The convention will take place in Darmstadt, Germany, on April 1st
and 2nd.
Jochen will discuss his plans for the ping-pong convers, such as support
for special clients and ideas how to allow a non-hierarchical network
topology.
HP will talk about our DIDADIT file transfer protocol. He will outline the
development history, describe the protocol's features, give hints on
implementation and look ahead to an extention called streaming DIDADIT
which will allow transportation of multimedia data, e.g. audio and video,
over packet.
The lecture will be on Sunday from 10 to 11 o'clock. It will be
in German language.
Furthermore, we will do a Linux workshop together with Jens, DG1KJD and
with help of Rob, DL1NC. The scope of this workshop will be adjusted to
the wishes of the audience. We can help set up Linux and AX.25, give an
introduction to unix socket programming and programming packet
applications or we can discuss the the AX.25 kernel implementation. In any
case we will show the new (alpha-stage) KDE2/Qt2 version of LinKT, the
mailer MailKT, the new convers client and of course everything will run on
top of Jens' new AX.25 stack. (As far as I know, Matthias, dg2fef,
will be attending too).
Further information about the convention can be found at

(this page is not available yet, therefore we have a copy of
Jens' announcement at http://1409.org/prc-announce.txt)
* LinKT CVS access.
Jochen now regulary updates the cvs repository at sourceforge. So if you
are interested in a current snapshot of LinKT, you will find instructions
on getting it at http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=1525.
Note that there are two branches. The HEAD branch requires the KDE KRASH
release (i.e. kdesupport-1.89 and kdelibs-1.89) together with a current
qt-2.1.0-snapshot available at ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/unstable.
If you prefer the KDE 1.x branch, you need to pass "-r branch-0-6-3" to
the `cvs co` command. This branch is not very actively developed, though.
HP has promised to work on it, but it is HP, you know :)
* LinKT pr mailing list
Due to the dismission of the db0ea bbs, the mailing list has moved to
db0nos.
