libggi 2.0.2/libgii 0.8.2 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=238414
The GGI project is pleased to announce that new versions of LibGGI and
LibGII have been released. LibGGI is a graphics API which focuses on
portability between operating systems and graphics back-ends. LibGII is
a stand-alone system for handling input devices which follows the same
general design principles as LibGGI. Through a run-time modular system,
a single application binary can be run on many different display
systems. In addition, LibGGI and it's interchangeable run-time binary
"targets" can be compiled on many architectures (like ia-32, ppc32,
sparc, sparc64, arm, s390, etc.) and operating systems (like Linux,
*BSD, Darwin, Solaris, etc.) and environments (like X11, fbdev,
svgalib, aalib, etc.) The LibGGI core itself is a basic API meant for
low level programming abstracting the simplest of primitives common to
most display systems. When properly written, LibGGI applications can be
made to work well in various bit-depths and to function on display
systems that differ quite drastically in their implementations (e.g.
backbuffered client/server systems like X11 versus direct hardware
systems like linux framebuffer.) LibGGI includes an extension system
which allows API sets to be added to the core LibGGI API. For example,
two popular extensions are LibGGIWMH, allowing manipulation of parent
window properties when a LibGGI program is running under a window based
display system, and LibGGIMISC which supplements the LibGGI API with a
few features like raytrace syncronization and VGA-style splitline which
are familair to demo coders. Our team is working on future extensions
which aim to bring the GGI philosphy of generic abstraction to graphics
systems features such as Z/Alpha buffers, overlays, and ROP/BITBLT,
allowing such features to be used by application developers without
falling into the trap of writing code that is inextricably entangled to
the display system used for development and testing. Like every Open
Source project, we are always glad to receive help and new team
members. This release represents a step forward not only in that
several enhancements have been made but also in our release process. We
now have a stable and developemnt tree system such that experimental
features will no longer butt heads with bugfix releases. We expect this
to improve our release interval for both development and stable
projects. More detailed news, project contact information, online
documentation, and much more is available at

SOURCEFORGE.NET UPDATE - 2002-12-18 EDITION
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=238394

Continues 4. WebSphere on Compile Farm 5. Site Statistics --- Sponsored
by: Buy Holiday Geek Toys Now! Thinkgeek is the holiday shopping mecca
for geeks, technophiles, and anybody who enjoys computers, gadgets, and
just plain old fun stuff. Whether you're looking to shop for the new
geek in your life, or if you're looking to finally get the gifts you
actually WANT this year, Thinkgeek is your one-stop-shop.
http://www.thinkgeek.com/sf/ ---- Hello SourceForge.net user, Happy
Holidays! It's been quite a year. We just had our 3rd year anniversary
of SF.NET's existence and in the past 12 months we've added 225,000
registered users and 22,000 new Open Source projects (525,000 Users and
52,000 projects total). It's great to see that the community continues
to grow. We've moved. You may or may not have noticed, but we
physically moved last month. SourceForge.net has migrated to a new
Cable & Wireless facility in Santa Clara, California (formally Exodus).
Besides the shinny new racks, power and bandwidth, we have consolidated
all our OSDN sister sites under one roof (Slashdot.org, Freshmeat.net,
Linux.com, OSDN.com, Thinkgeek.com, etc). This move makes it easier for
our Sys Admins to get their hands around all 250+ servers (all of OSDN)
which use to be spread out over two coasts in the United States.
December 2002's SF.NET project of the month is phpMyAdmin. Please check
out the interview we did with them. Good stuff.
http://sourceforge.net/pom_1202.php Our IBM DB2 transition continues to
move forward. We will have SF.NET fully converted to the database in
early 2003. On a related note, today we are announcing 3 new IBM
WebSphere application servers on the SF.NET compile farm. This will
allow you to test out any J2EE applications you might have.
Instructions to access the compile farm are below in this email. On
behalf of the SF.NET team, I want to wish you and your family very
Happy Holidays. We are looking forward to working with you to make
SourceForge.net and the Open Source Community even more successful in
2003. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to
email me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you. Pat- Patrick McGovern
Director, SourceForge.net email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1. SF.NET Support Update
---------------------------------------- The SourceForge.net team has
recently completed a set of planning sessions for 2003 goals. We have
incorporated much of the feedback received during the 2002 year in to
these goals, and are quite excited about the upcoming enhancements to
the SourceForge.net site and services. We welcome your continued
feedback. The SourceForge.net team may be contacted by submitting a
Support Request at:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=1&atid=200001 All
SourceForge.net-hosted projects which make use of our VHOST services
must update their DNS configuration to reflect our new IP address
range. A mailing was sent to all project administrators on VHOST-using
projects on 2002-12-05. Instructions for proper VHOST configuration may
be seen at:
https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=777&group_id=1 A
significant amount of effort has recently been directed to improvement
of the SourceForge.net Site Documentation. Among the changes, we have
completed a significant reorganization of the Site Docs (which are now
separated by target audience and grouped by service). Second,
significant formatting changes have been made to all existing document
for cleaner appearance and more functional navigation (we have added a
Table of Contents to most documents). Finally, plan has been
established which will ensure documentation is written to cover all
previously-identified gaps; in coming months, we will be working to
complete the initial rewrite of older content and the generation of new
documentation. The SourceForge.net Site Documentation collection may be
seen at: https://sourceforge.net/docman/?group_id=1 In conjunction with
our work to improve the Site Documentation of the SourceForge.net site,
a command-line tool has been developed to automate DocManager (the
documentation management feature of the SourceForge.net site)
operations. This tool, adocman, is available from the 'sitedocs'
project on SourceForge.net. At this time, a tool to automate retrieval
of data via our XML data export facility (which requires authentication
by a project administrator) is also included. These tools can be used
by any project team to establish a comprehensive backup and recovery
plan, as described at:
https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=6840&group_id=1
adocman (and the xml_export script included in the adocman release) may
be found at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/sitedocs/ SourceForge.net
now provides documentation regarding security and risk management as
applied to the SourceForge.net site and services. We encourage all
project administrators to review the documentation provided at:
https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=14267&group_id=1
Finally, as requested by many site users, the SourceForge.net team now
provides a search facility for Site Documentation. Information about
this search facility (and access to the Site Documentation search) is
available at:
https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=14068&group_id=1
The SourceForge.net team is glad to respond to any issues you may
encounter in using SourceForge.net, as a user, as a developer, or as a
project administrator. To reach the SourceForge.net team, we ask that
you submit a Support Request at:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=1&atid=200001 I
welcome feedback regarding our support process and your experiences in
using SourceForge.net. I may be reached via email at:

SourceForge.net 2. OSDN's Newsite DevChannel
---------------------------------------- OSDN is adding to its
resources for developers with a new website, DevChannel
(http://devchannel.org). DevChannel is the central news and reference
resource for developers interested in core technology topics. With
original feature articles and interviews, daily news updates, access to
SourceForge projects, Freshmeat downloads, and Slashdot discussions,
DevChannel opens a channel of communication to developers, organized by
topics that matter. We've begun rolling out DevChannel gradually, with
four channels featured at present: High Performance Computing
(http://hpc.devchannel.org) Web Services
(http://webservices.devchannel.org) Development Tools
(http://tools.devchannel.org) Hardware (http://hardware.devchannel.org)
While SourceForge.net remains the preeminent gathering place for
developers on OSDN, you'll find some great content on DevChannel (like
Steve DuChene's IPMI article), and some familiar faces (Brian Finley
from the Clustering Foundry, and Eugene Kim from the Distributed
Computing Foundry). So be sure to add DevChannel to your list of OSDN
destinations; we look forward to seeing you there. If you have
questions/comments please email Mark Stone at [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3. SF.NET
NNTP Beta Test Continues ---------------------------------------- In
October we launched an early beta release of a new feature on
SourceForge.net. We are continuing this beta test, and here again are
the details in case you missed it the first time: Our NNTP server makes
it possible to view and post data to forums using a simple newsreader
(exactly like using USENET newsgroups). Here's the information to login
and try it out. The hostname of the NNTP server is
'nntp.sourceforge.net' and the port NNTP is listening on is 563.
(nntps, SSL-protected NNTP) We allow only SSL connections. You need to
use your SourceForge user name and password to login. The currently
supported clients are Mozilla and Outlook, however we've followed the
NNTP RFC; any client that does NNTP over SSL /should/ work. Please let
us know if you have problems with a specific client. (Please see below)
Posting works, with one caveat: to limit SPAM we limit the amount of
posts to 10 in a 5 minute period, after which we deny posting for some
time for that user account. NOTE: This is real data. Posts will show up
in your forums! Please keep this in mind. Here is an example of the
NNTP naming we've chosen, it is much like the project web tree.
"sf.a.al.alexandria.open_discussion" will get you the "Open Discussion"
forum for project "alexandria". Mailing lists are currently _not_
available but will be available in the near future. If you would like
to report bugs, ideas, or anything else please subscribe to the beta
mailing list at:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mcgoo-nttpbeta Please keep
in mind that the server is beta and will more than likely crash. Please
don't send 1000 emails to list saying the server is offline; we'll fix
it as soon as we get a chance. Please send any bug reports, odd
behavior, or problems to this list. Thank you. Issue reports regarding
this new beta feature should not be submitted as Support Requests;
please direct all inquiries to the list. 4. IBM WebSphere on Compile
Farm ---------------------------------------- The SourceForge.net
Compile Farm now features four systems running IBM WebSphere
Application Server Version 5. These systems let you freely deploy J2EE
applications for testing and validation on the WebSphere platform. The
SourceForge.net Compile Farm is available for use (on an opt-in basis)
by developers on any active projects hosted on SourceForge.net. To
access these systems, please see the Compile Farm Guide at:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=762&group_id=1 5.
Statistics ---------------------------------------- Where do SF.NET
users come from? The SF.NET team recently ran log files through an
application that can translate countries by IP numbers, oppose to
domain name extensions. IP numbers provide more accurate statistics.
Below are the results. SourceForge.net truly is an International site.

Melting Away Ice Hazards

How To Stop Piracy: Raid CD-R Moguls

An anonymous reader writes "In what appears to be a not-so-legal move,
Mexico's equivalent of the RIAA used federal police to raid the
installations of Grupo Mekong, responsible for 200 of the 400 million
virgin CDs imported each year, accusing them to be "capos" of the
Piracy bussiness in Mexico. What is the rationale? Record companies buy
only 20% of Mekong merchandise, so the other 80% must be going to
pirates! Yeah, Never mind computer users ,independent labels or other
legal uses. You can see the article [0]here but what amazes me is the
behaviour! What will the next step be? Raid the truck companies who

Open Source, Closed Documentation?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/26/1931250
[0]sunset asks: "Recently I was motivated to look at [1]WebGUI which
looks like a pretty cool open source project. However I was having
trouble making it work with Red Hat 8.0 which includes Apache 2.0. This
seems like a reasonable thing to want, as Red Hat 8 has been out since
September and Apache 2 has been publicly released for close to a year.
Checking the WebGUI community discussion forum, I found that [2]
someone else had already inquired about this. Following the rest of the
thread, you learn that the product's vendor considers this information
to be proprietary, and that you must pay $50 to join their Support
Forum to get the information. It gets better. The associated
[3]Membership Agreement for the Support Forum includes the clause 'You
shall not to share [sic] the information contained herein with any
other party.' So if I join up, I am locked out of sharing valuable
information with the open source community about how to install this
open source product. In the end I found out what I needed to know
without giving up my rights or my hard-earned bucks, but frankly this
attitude from the vendor pisses me off. Am I alone in this? What do you
think?"

Problems with runtask

I just recently installed slash 2.2.6 on a server in my company
intranet. We're going to make use of it as a technical forum for the

smoothly and I've had little trouble getting slash configured the way I
want. The one problem I have come across is that I can't run runtask
with any of the tasks in my slash-site. Every time I try to do it, I
check my slashd.log and find a similar error: Tue Dec 24 15:01:50 2002

overthe code for runtask, but I'm a pretty novice perl programmer and
have had little luck tracking the problem down. If anyone has ideas
what might be causing this, please share. I don't want to have to wait
a day for new users to have changes made to their accounts, since we're
immediately going to make everyone authors (w/ seclev 100) because of

Adding a rand photo block
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/12/20/1825223
Hello, i have written something for my slash site deporteyciencia.com
for having a nice random photo block, i try to describe the process
first, and later put all the code. (locally) you need a lot of free
photos (locally) you need imagemagick (locally) run the script
create_minis.pl for creating the thumbs. Take a look to the destination
directories. You can create a captions.txt with the syntaxis:
filename::caption(newline)... The captions will be drawn on the image!!
put the original images and the thumbs in your site (remote) put the
task rand.pl in your site (and change the directories as needed)
(remote)configure crontab for running your task daily or hourly.
(remote) write a block who shows rand_mini_foto.jpg and links to
rand_foto.jpg do nothing and enjoy, or try to write a way for users
uploading photos "one day they will appear" The code:
-------------------------------- CREATE_MINIS.PL (remember to change
directories and have imagemagick installed)
-------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict;
#-------- config my $use_captions=1; my $background="#006699"; my
$fore="#ffffff"; my $width="190x190"; #-------- config end my
@files=`ls *.jpg`; my %captions=(); if ($use_captions) { open
F_captions,"captions.txt" or die "ERROR, lack of \"captions.txt\"\n
This file has the following
sintaxis:\nfilename1::caption1\nfilename2::caption 2\n..."; while () {
chomp; my ($filename,$text)=split (/::/,$_);
$captions{$filename}=$text; } close F_captions; } foreach (@files) {
print $_; chomp; if ($use_captions) { system("convert -resize
$width_height $_ minis_with_captions/$_"); if($captions{$_}) {
system("convert -box \"$background\" -font helvetica -fill \"$fore\"

minis_with_captions/$_ minis_with_captions/$_"); } else { print "Error:
lack of captions for file $_\n"; } } else { system("convert -resize
$width_height $_ minis/$_"); } } --------------------------------
rand.pl (remember to change directory names)
-------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl -w #coge una imagen
aleatoriamente y la copia en rand_foto.jpg #lo mismo para una foto de
las pequeñas, que están en /minis #llamado cada dia por una tarea use
strict; #--- config my
$path_in="/home/xavi/slash_2.2.5/fotos_deportivas" ; my

$count=0; my @files=`cd $path_in;ls *.jpg`; foreach (@files) { $count
++; if ($count == $file) { chomp; system("cp $path_in/$_
$path_out/rand_foto.jpg"); system("cp $path_in/minis/$_
$path_out/rand_mini_foto.jpg"); } } -------------------------- write
the block and config crontab for yourself. It's more easy than i can
explain with my english level :) Thanks Krow: Yes this is a format
nightmare but I thought I would share the submission with people
anyways.
Topics not appearing after time

Installed slashcode and have been modifying it. I added a topic under

The new topics are not listed in the pull-down when I try and create a
new story. I've waited more than 24 hours and tried restarting apache,
restarting slashd, and rebooting the web server. The topics are listed
everywhere on the site that I can look for them *BUT* they're not
options when creating a new story. Anyone know why?
