[0]TonyStanco writes "Big news. DoD issued a policy statement leveling
the playing field for Open Source. We have the memo on the Center of
[1]Open Source & Government site." The requirements listed in this memo
make me think of a company policy along the lines of "You can bring
your baby or toddler to work, so long as it can talk, feed itself and
stick effortlessly to the ceiling like a spider." See this PDF for more
information about [2]National Security Telecommunications and

Gimp-Print 4.3.15 (development)
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=281411
Gimp-Print 4.3.15, released June 1, 2003, is a development release of
this package. Like all development releases, this version is considered
unstable and should only be used by those individuals tolerant of the
likelihood of problems. Individuals desiring a stable release of
Gimp-Print should use the latest 4.2 release. Gimp-Print is a suite of
printer drivers that may be used with most common UNIX print spooling
systems, including CUPS, lpr, LPRng, or others. These drivers provide
high quality printing for UNIX (including Macintosh OS X 10.2 and
newer) and Linux systems in many cases equal to or better than
proprietary vendor-supplied drivers, and can be used for many of the
most demanding printing tasks. This software includes the Print plug-in
for the Gimp, and Ghostscript and CUPS drivers, including Foomatic
data. This package requires libxml2 2.5 or above. You may need to
install a package named "libxml2-devel" or the like on many
distributions. The Print plugin for the Gimp requires the Gimp 1.2
(later versions of the Gimp are not supported). You may need to install
a package named "gimp-devel" or the like on many distributions. The
CUPS driver requires CUPS 1.1.15 or higher. You may need to install a
package named "cups-devel" or the like on many distributions. The
Foomatic data will work with either Foomatic 2.x or 3.x. Foomatic 3.x
has additional capabilities that this package detects and takes
advantage of. The IJS-based GhostScript plugin driver requires GNU
Ghostscript 6.53 or later, ESP Ghostscript 7.05 or later, or APFL
GhostScript 7.04 or later. It also requires that glib 1.2 be installed.
You may need to install a package named "glib-devel" or the like on
many distributions. Users of Macintosh OS X 10.2 and above can use this
package, as the printing system is based on CUPS, which is supported by
Gimp-print. Note that Macintosh OS X 10.0 and 10.1 (including 10.1.5)
cannot use this package. Please read the README file for full
instructions on installing this package. Gimp-Print 4.3.15 contains the
following major changes over Gimp-Print 4.3.14: 1) The code for
handling ink shades and drop sizes has been extensively overhauled;
results should be much more consistent. In particular, the same balance
between ink shades is now used at all resolutions for a given printer,
and the driver always tries to use the smallest ink drop size it
usefully can. The result is that colors should be much more uniform
across different resolutions with the same printer (particularly with
variable drop size printers), and output should be smoother. It is
likely (although this has not been verified) that printing is faster,
too. There may still be some issues; please report any problems.
Internally, this is implemented by means of a new "channel"
architecture, which is responsible for conversions of this type. 2) A
long-standing build problem whereby the package will not build on
systems that already have Gimp-Print 4.2 or earlier versions of
Gimp-Print 4.3 installed has been fixed. 3) The existing Line Art image
optimization has been renamed to Uncorrected, which is a better
description of its effect. There is a new Threshold mode, which simply
computes a threshold value (either on or off for each color). 4) The
default image optimization mode is now Photographs (which has the best
color correction) rather than the old Line Art (which as noted above is
now called Uncorrected). 5) An experimental driver for the Olympus
P-300 has been added. This driver has significant limitations; the size
of an image much closely match the size of a print from this printer.
6) The Fast and Very Fast dither algorithms are significantly different
from before. The Fast dither algorithm now uses the same dither pattern
previously used by the Very Fast algorithm, and the Very Fast algorithm
only uses the largest drop size. The Ordered algorithm should now run
as fast as the Fast algorithm did before. 7) This package now uses
gettext 0.11 internally.

HP Inkjet Linux Driver 1.4.1 release
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=281289
The Hewlett-Packard Co. Linux Inkjet Driver Project is a add-on to the
GNU Ghostscript application. This driver is based on the Hewlett
Packard Appliance APDK for deskjet printers. This release includes bug
fixes. This HP Linux Inkjet Driver (HPIJS) release has the following
changes. 1. Fixed a GCC 2.95 compile problem with debug.h. 2. Fixed a
foomatic-install issue with gzip 1.3 in Makefile.am. Removed the gzip

SOURCEFORGE.NET UPDATE - 2003-05-23 EDITION
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=281406
0. Intro 1. Improved Admin Interface 2. Project of the month: POPFile
3. New Irish download mirror. 4. SourceForge Enterprise Edition 3.3 5.
New RSS Feeds. 6. Stats and Top Projects
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear SourceForge.net Developer, With seventy new projects being added
to the site daily, sometimes the SF.NET team misses a few of the more
intriguing ones as they fly through our registration queue. This was
the case with BIE, a brand new project from WDI, a division of
Brunswick, the bowling, billiard, and boating firm. We weren't aware of
the project until the press release ended up in my inbox, with a URL
pointing to the project on SourceForge.net. BIE is a Java based
'Business Integration Engine' that is designed to help organizations
exchange data created in different applications on various platforms
with partners, suppliers, and customers in order to streamline
processes and improve efficiency. Brunswick essentially built the
enterprise software in-house for their own needs to transfer data
between themselves and their large installed base of dealers. Last
week, they released the software under the GPL to not only give back to
the community that has helped them a great deal but also to increase
the level of development and usage of the software. Given that
Brunswick is a large public company, it will be an interesting project
to watch. It very well may prove to be an excellent success story for
other corporations thinking about getting involved with the development
of Open Source software. You can view the project here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bie
http://www.brunswickwdi.com/index.pl/bie In other news, this sitewide
email has a number of tidbits that you'll find interesting, including a
new download server in Europe, improved admin interface, and the
project of the month. Read below for more details. As always, thank you
for supporting SourceForge.net and the Open Source community. If you
have any feedback or issues regarding SourceForge.net, please feel free
to email me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pat- Patrick McGovern Director,
SourceForge.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] Improved Project Admin Interface
--------------------------------------------- In our continued efforts
to improve the overall usability and functionality of the
SourceForge.net site, the SourceForge.net team has produced a new
Project Administration interface. The new Project Admin interface
includes integrated documentation and tips for managing your project. A
significant amount of new information (not available previously) is now
provided via the Project Admin pages. A subset of the Project Admin
pages are now accessible to project developers (non-admins) as that
they may also take advantage of this new information. This interface
change includes an updated menu layout, direct access to
service-specific details, and links to relevant site documentation.
SourceForge.net provides a number of services to each hosted project;
historically it has been difficult for inexperienced developers and new
project administrators to take full advantage of these services. The
new Project Admin interface has been designed specifically to provide
the information needed by new project administrators to begin using
their SourceForge.net project resources immediately, and to help
experienced administrators to use SourceForge.net more effectively. All
project administrators are encouraged to explore the updated Project
Admin pages for their project. The Project Admin interface may be
accessed using the "Admin" link in the horizontal menu bar for your
project, found on the Project Summary page. SourceForge.net's May 2003
Project of the month: POPFile.
--------------------------------------------- Email is the "killer app"
of the Internet, but keeping up with the sheer volume of incoming email
arriving in one's inbox, particularly with the avalanche of Spam, is a
daunting task. POPFile is a powerful, learning, application designed to
make sorting incoming email an automatic task. Simply teach POPFile how
you want your email sorted into folders and POPFile does the rest. With
users reporting automatic sorting as high as 98% accuracy, POPFile is
truly a universal time saver. POPFile has only been on SourceForge.net
for the past 6 months, but given the tremendous need for such a product
on the net and it's ability to work on all major computing platforms,
it has enjoyed a top ten SF.NET project ranking essentially since it's
inception. POPFile Project of the month page:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/popfile New Irish download server.
--------------------------------------------- SF.NET has a new download
mirror. HEAnet is providing both the hardware and bandwidth to support
a SourceForge.net mirror in Ireland. HEAnet is Ireland's National
Education and Research Network, providing high quality Internet
Services to over 130,000 students and staff in Irish Universities,
Institutes of Technology and other educational and research
organizations. The SF.NET team would like to thank HEAnet for their
generosity. http://www.heanet.ie/ Currently SF.NET serves approximately
500,000 files daily and our network of download mirrors (and the
organizations that support them) help a great deal in providing global
accessibility to all of the software generated by our 60,000+ projects.
SourceForge Enterprise Edition 3.3
--------------------------------------------- VA Software, OSDN and
SourceForge.net's parent company, this week released SourceForge
Enterprise Edition 3.3. Designed for use behind corporate firewalls,
SourceForge Enterprise Edition 3.3 integrates development,
collaboration and management tools, and creates a central repository
for all software development information and activity. The new release
includes integration support for PVCS Version Manager, support for
webDAV and LDAP, and significant enhancements to issue tracking and
project administration. For more information, please visit:
http://www.vasoftware.com/sf New RSS Feeds.
--------------------------------------------- This is information from
the last sitewide email, but we think it's worth repeating. A
convenient way to keep up-to-date with the SourceForge.net site,
project news, activity information, and new projects is now available.
SourceForge.net provides a number of RSS feeds that may be accessed
using an RSS reader or aggregator (some content management systems also
allow you include data from an RSS feed on your website, much as
Slashdot and Freshmeat do in the right sidebar of their layout). Using
these RSS feeds, you can keep up-to-date with the latest project news
and file releases, Site Status updates and SourceForge.net statistics
(such as top projects). Project-specific RSS feeds may now be accessed
using the "View list of RSS feeds available for this project" link on
the Summary page for each project. Information about the full set of
the available SourceForge.net RSS feeds (14 feeds, in all), including
information on the software needed to view RSS feed data and a complete
list of the options available for each RSS feed, may be found at:
