Re: [UPHPU] UPHPU Digest, Vol 161, Issue 1 - Possible Topics...

[Clint Savage]

Since I started what is now OpenWest, I'll chime in here and echo what
Justin said. You definitely should and can talk about whatever you'd like.
In past years, I've seen talks about conduct, diversity, etc. Talking about
imposter syndrome would be a great topic in my opinion, so I hope you
submit.

Cheers,

We'll be having an introductory meeting on February 17, 2015 @ 7pm. This
meeting will explain the concept of uptimeSLC, and allow us to explore
concepts and ideas you would like to see in this new user group. We'll have
ice cream, root beer, and geeks like you ready to talk about cool
technology.

[UPHPU] Resurrecting the Geek Lunch -- Introducing SLC Nerd Lunch

[Clint Savage]

Since I left New Zealand in 2001, I've only had one good Doner Kebab. I'm
hoping you all will want to attend and talk nerdy over a yummy lunch.

We'll gather together at 12:15 and everyone pays their own way. Then we'll
hang out and discuss whatever cool tech, nerdy things and of course
Ingress. We're starting small, hoping things will take off again. If you
are in Utah County, don't worry, there will be some activity down your way
as well.

I should be wearing my Tardis t-shirt (if you don't know what that is, look
it up) and my Fedora hoodie.

See you there!

Re: [UPHPU] monitoring servers

Heh, I highly suggest Munin. It's pricetag is much lower than splunk
(although I do like splunk overall, it's a bit of a resource and $$
hog). Munin is kind of like cacti but much easier to setup and can
track many many things like memory spikes, disk resources, etc.

 Hey guys,

 So this is off-topic from PHP in general, but I know there's sysadmins
 on here too, so maybe you guys can help me out. :)

 I had a server go down this morning :sadface:, and looking at the logs
 from monit, something happened to suddenly spike the CPU and suck up all
 the RAM.

 These just popped up out of the blue:

 [MDT Jul 19 07:53:39] error : 'localhost' cpu system usage of 54.7%
 matches resource limit [cpu system usage30.0%]
 [MDT Jul 19 07:53:45] error : 'localhost' swap usage of 100.0%
 matches resource limit [swap usage25.0%]
 [MDT Jul 19 07:53:51] error : 'localhost' mem usage of 98.5% matches
 resource limit [mem usage75.0%]

 I can tell it wasn't gradual buildup of cpu/swap/memory usage, since
 this was the first alert, and monit runs every 2 minutes. So, I assume
 something happened to spike the server and bring everything down.

 I've got two questions -- how do you guys usually go about monitoring
 this stuff? Monit can check the system general usage, but how do I know
 which applications are doing that?

 My second question is, where in the world do you start to diagnose
 something like this? Looking at the system and apache logs, it looks
 like everything just STOPPED. There's no red flags that I can see, so
 I'm having a hard time diagnosing it.

 Thanks guys, any help is appreciated.

 Interested in learning jsp.

 The problem is jsp won't run using just apache.

 As I understand it:
 I have to install Tomcat - then link them together.  It seems this
 solution is complicated.
 Or
 Install JRun (which is a plugin for Apache?) - I couldn't find very
 good instructions for this.

 Is there a simple way to get Apache to run jsp?

 thoughts?

 If you are wanting to learn jsp then run tomcat or another servlet container.
 There are many out there that you can choose from, check here for a list of
 possible ones that you can use:

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Servlet_containers

 Now there are some reasons to have apache front your servlet container; 
 however,
 for what you are doing, you probably dont need that right now. If you want to
 use apache in front of a container then you will want to look at mod_jk or 
 even
 just a standard proxy. Again, this might be overkill for what you are doing.

 My recommendations for learning...get a light weight container like tomcat or
 even jetty and go from there.

Re: [UPHPU] website changes

[Clint Savage]

Wade,

I concur.  It might be easier to actually just move uphpu to a google
group or something which basically handles all of this stuff and makes
it easier for the current president to quickly and easily make changes
to the group data.  For instance, utahpython.org is a google group and
has a simple front page with the latest info about the group and its
meeting times.

Probably the only big issue is whether migrating the old mailing list
data is worth the effort or just have the old archives be linked to in
some fashion.

 I am considering replacing the current website with a single page. It would 
 describe the group, provide meeting information (including a summary of the 
 next upcoming), provide IRC and mailing list information (including a sign-up 
 form), and recent job announcements (including a form for submitting new 
 opportunities). This would make it easier for people to find the content they 
 are looking for and get rid of the rest of the clutter. I don't think the 
 posts are providing much value (we haven't had an article posted that wasn't 
 about a meeting or group administration since March and the last comment not

 know what the group is, what we do, where to sign up, what the next meeting 
 is about, and where to meet.

 Any thoughts?

 for other tethering solutions.  Any suggestions from any Linux users out

  1. Download entire DVD ISO file to huge flash memory on phone at 4g

  2. Transfer to desktop when home.

 Swt.

 You can root it pretty easily, but I haven't done it yet, because
 I'm kinda nervous that Big red V might come down on rooters.

 Your only choices for tethering are to root the phone, or use
 pdanet for corded or btooth if you don't want to root your phone,
 or pay the $ to V every month for cordless hotspot.

 There is a really active forum at http://www.droidforums.net/
 They can help you, and have sticky posts about this very topic.

 Thank you Ashley.  That's a cool forum that'll keep me busy for a
 while now.  Sounds like pdanet is a good choice since it'll keep the
 battery charged and I can get what I want without having to beat the
 system, or at least it looks that way.

[UPHPU] hackUTOS 2.0 is just two days away

[Clint Savage]

-- Forwarded message --
From: Clint Savage her...@gmail.com
Date: Thu, Aug 19, 2010 at 7:47 PM
Subject: hackUTOS 2.0 is just two days away
To: UTOS Announce List annou...@utos.org


hackUTOS 2.0 is this Saturday, August 21, 2010 from 10am to 4pm (9am
for early birds and 5pm for late birds) and is sponsored and hosted by
TenX Networks[1].

If you don't already know, hackUTOS isn't all about programming.

-- It's about working on a project that you otherwise may not have time.
-- It's about learning a new technology by joining others
-- It's about networking with other smart people who like to create stuff
-- It's about junk food during up to 8 hours of hacking on your favorite stuff!
-- It's about being able to sit in a corner and focus on your project
without interruption
-- It's about providing the best open source software hacking space

Some of the projects that came out of last hackUTOS (1.0):

-- Wheresmysoda.com -- a site dedicated to providing locations or best
price of your favorite soda
-- ConMan - an ongoing project for conference management
-- Metasploit - penetration testing application

TenX networks has some awesome space out by the airport.  They've been
out there for a few years with a huge space!  The gang there is
really, really excited to meet everyone who will be at hackUTOS 2.0.

Come on down this Saturday and hang out with other geeks.  We'll
provide you space to hack, snacks, lunch and plenty of projects to
come and learn!

Saturday, August 21, 10am-4pm (early bird and late bird is open from 9-5)
TenX Networks (map: http://sn.im/tenxnetworks-map)
4855 Wiley Post Way
Salt Lake City, UT 84116

[UPHPU] UTOSC 2010 Call for papers extended through August 1st!

[Clint Savage]

Time goes by quickly, so quickly in fact that top priorities get set
to the side and suddenly become missed opportunities. Fortunately
submitting a proposal for a presentation at the 2010 Utah Open Source
Conference doesn’t have to be one of them!

The deadline for paper submission has been extended until August 1st,
2010, just in time to sit down inside a nice cool coffee shop, sip
some of the great local roast and think about what to share with the
community.

Really it only takes a minute or two to place a submission and you
might find it so easy and fun that you submit more then one.

Don’t worry about not having a full presentation prepared, all that
needs to be submitted by the deadline is the proposal, a basic outline
of what would be presented to the community at the conference. The
next step is easy: sit back, relax and wait to hear if your proposal
was selected by vote for the conference. Once selected the entire
presentation(s) should be laid out and created.

Don’t have anything to talk about? That’s not what I’ve heard!

Topics can be as wide ranging as are the members of the Utah Open
Source community at large (and that is pretty gosh darn diverse!) and
should include a variety of experience levels. While one presenter may
submit a presentation on Building a Better Community Through
Statistics another (and an excellent presentation I attended in 2009,)
might be Advanced GIMP: The Digital Diet.

So don’t be afraid to submit a proposal to talk about your favorite
open source program(s) that just does silly things or maybe does
nothing at all!

Has anyone ever submitted a presentation on an open source pet rock? No? Hhmm…

All ideas are welcome, but please remember to keep with the 2010
theme: its better when its free*.

Being free is so easy that my open source pet rock was free!

Interested? Want more details? Visit the Utah Open Source Conference
website at http://2010.utosc.com and when your ready to submit your
proposal simply create an account and visit
http://2010.utosc.com/speaker/papers/ to submit your paper.

You could put it off again, but then you will have to pay to attend
and where’s the fun in that?

While I am very interested in attending a Lagoon Day sometime very

have to wait hours in lines for rides.  If it were the next weekend,
July 31, I could totally see myself going, though I think I'd probably
even lean toward going August 1 myself.  While July 31 would be
crowded, it'll be nowhere as crowded as this Saturday.

Just my $.02

Re: [UPHPU] Status of Utah PHP Users

[Clint Savage]

I personally would like to take the time to thank Victor for his hard
work and dedication to the Utah PHP User Group.  Victor is very
dedicated to free and open source software, loves PHP and genuinely
wants others to succeed.  Through the growth of the community and his
leadership, I am very happy to be able to call him my friend.  Victor,
I know that the future is bright for both you and UPHPU.

While I will fondly remember all of the meetings I've attended at BGM
under Victor's leadership, I look forward to the many cool upcoming
meetings at Code Greene, with Mac at the helm.  The next year is going
to be exciting, and change is a really good thing.

All Hail mindjuju!!

See you around the community, my friend.

Cheers,

Clint

 Greets all,

 For the last few years, I've been lucky to be the president of Utah PHP
 Users Group.  It's been a great run and I've come away having learned a lot
 about PHP and more importantly the community.

 Some changes for the better are coming to UPHPU.

 Effective immediately, I'm stepping down as UPHPU president and I'm handing
 the responsibility to Mac Newbold.  Many of you know Mac, he's a GREAT
 advocate for PHP and an excellent member of the OSS community (he's even on
 the UTOS board!).

 I will assist him in this transition period until he gets up to speed so
 that the impact on the community will be minimal.

 July's meeting will be at Code Greene.

 Some final thoughts on what it means to be a part of an OSS community:

 I moved to Utah several years ago, a web developer from Houston.  The OSS
 community welcomed me with open arms and I found a wealth of information on
 best practices, security, etc on both the website and the IRC channel.

 Shifting into the role of president, I was able to start paying back to the
 community by helping it to grow.  This is a great community that you are a
 part of!  There are people on the mailing list, on the IRC that are at the
 top of their game.  Professionals in their prime.  Become involved in the
 community.  Take advantage of it.  We've built it for you.  I think all that
 anybody asks before you ask your question, is that you at least google it
 and attempt it on your own.  We'll help you learn the rest and coach you
 along the way.

 I've sat in many IRC chans and believe me, few there are that are friendlier
 than #uphpu on freenode.

 As I say, it has been my pleasure to serve you guys.  From here, I'm
 doubling my focus on Utah Open Source and the conference (
 http://2010.utosc.com )

 Some programs like the infamous UPHPU After hours party are still in
 transition and we'll let you know when these programs are back up and
 running.

Re: [UPHPU] New: UTOS “announce” mailing list

[Clint Savage]

Well, the other reason which I didn't publicize is the fact that
several people have griped or complained that they get the UTOS emails
too many times (mostly because they are subscribed to more than one
list).  In my opinion, that's not really my problem, but I don't want
others to be offended by getting mailing from UTOS.  However, you do
make a good point.  If I can convince the president/leader of the
group, then it's on them, not me :)  I'll look into that option.

Thanks,

Clint

 Soounds like a good idea Clint. I have a thought that might make

 you were to get each local UG administrator to sign the local UG

 still only have to send the one email to the single [announce] list,
 but the reach would still cover all of the individual local UG lists

 The Utah Open Source Foundation is proud to announce a new mailing list, 
 annou...@utos.org.

 The idea behind this mailing list is to simplify the announcements that UTOS 
 provides to the community.  While we do a fair bit on our blog, we'd like to 
 keep the mailngs going, but it has become complex to send mail to each Local 
 User Group (LUG) every time we need to advertise an event or announce 
 something.  In addition, sending mail to more and more LUGs will make it 
 difficult as we grow the free and open source community in Utah and the 
 Mountain West.

 Therefore, we are going to be moving all of our announcements and news to 
 the official Utah Open Source announce mailing list.

 It is easy to sign up for this list, just visit our mailing list page and 
 add yourself.  Here's the link:

 http://mail.utos.org/mailman/listinfo/announce

 There will be a few announcements for this list sent to the individual LUG 
 mailing lists.  I also suspect that every so often there will be reminders 
 for those who are new to the community.  Beyond that, we plan to send email 
 just to the UTOS announce list.

 Please feel free to invite your fellow nerds and those you think might 
 benefit from activities that we promote.

[UPHPU] Electroregeneration Society Linux Installfest - Give your time during the holidays.

[Clint Savage]

Ladies and Gentleman,

As the holiday season comes upon us, many think about those who are a
bit less fortunate than us.  I am no different in this category and
feel like I would like to do something to help those who need a hand.
This year, I plan to help the Electroregeneration Society
(http://electroregeneration.org/) by heading down there for our
inaugural ERGS/UTOS Holiday Linux Installfest.

I hope this might interest a few of you as well.  And if so, please
consider coming down anytime and donating your time.  Here's the
details:

Location: Electroregeneration Society Warehouse (555 S 400 W, Salt
Lake City, UT) (map: http://sn.im/ergs-map)
Date: December 19, 2009
Time: 9am-5pm (Installfest starts at 10am)

What can I bring?

We'll be setting up the equipment at 9am.  ERGS has power strips,
ethernet switches, computers and monitors.  If you have Ubuntu, Fedora
or openSUSE install media (CD or DVDs are what we need), bring them
with you.  Please also bring your laptops so we can look up settings
and the like if needed.  I'll be bringing my laptop with a tethered
phone too, just in case we're overwhelming the internets there.

- Hide quoted text -
Please come on down and donate your time, here's a bit of a spiel from
Dave Turnbull, one of the many volunteers at ERGS:

The Electroregeneration Society enriches lives through affordable
access to technology by repurposing electronics, supporting technology
education, and developing community partnerships.

We primarily serve two groups -- charities and low-income families or
individuals. We provide computers to 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations
without regard to mission -- all nonprofits qualify. For individuals
and families, we have a service-for-equipment program, where they
provide 15 hours of service to ERGS in exchange for a desktop
computer.

The Utah Open Source Foundation's goals align with the
Electroregeneration Society's goals because we'll be installing Linux
on machines that will be repurposed.  Sometimes, the machines are a
bit older, Linux is the only simple way these machines will be able to
be repurposed.

If you have a few hours on Saturday, December 19, consider coming down
and donating a bit of your time for a good cause and help us install
Linux on as many machines as possible.  I will be there with my
family.  I sure hope you can come as well.  It's going to be a blast
while helping the community get connected to the world :)

See you all there,

Clint Savage

[UPHPU] Geek Lunch: Phở Green Papaya - West V alley City

[Clint Savage]

phở - in English, written pho and typically pronounced (/ˈfʌ/) is a
Vietnamese beef and noodle soup from North Vietnam.  (Reference
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phở)

If you have never had phở, it is quite a good noodle soup and we'll be
joining today, August 28, 2009, from 12:30-2pm at Phở Green Papaya in
West Valley City (map - http://www.greenpapayautah.com/location.html)
to enjoy a healthy, geek conversation over some awesome noodles.  For
$6.50+tax+tip, you can walk away very satisfied.

If you are afraid of the phở, never fear.  They have Thai and Chinese
items also on their menu, and the price is very reasonable.

I look forward to seeing you all at Phở Green Papaya for Geek Lunch!

[UPHPU] Geek Lunch this Friday: May 29 @ 12:30pm

[Clint Savage]

Theme: Thai

Greets all,

This month’s UTOS Geek Lunch will be held in three locations at once.
In other words, a new way of enjoying lunch with geeks in your area.
We thought it’d be nice to hang out with everyone in one place, but
it’s so hard to do during the lunch hour.  Instead, the idea of having
a Geek Lunch in each of the three main valleys along the Wasatch
Front.

This month’s theme: Thai
Salt Lake County

Fri, May 29, 12:30pm – 2pm
My Thai, 1425 S 300 W, SLC, UT (map - http://sn.im/hyon2)
Davis/Weber County

Fri, May 29, 12:30pm – 2pm
Pad Thai, 1986 N Hill Field Rd #8, Layton, UT (map -

Fri, May 29, 12:30pm – 2pm

[UPHPU] Stout Family needs your help

[Clint Savage]

I know some of you have heard about Brandon Stout's wife's issues.
I'd like to pass this on for Brandon and his family.  Earlier today I
sent him an email informing him of the collection we're taking, and
here's his response.

This is in relation to the story that ran on KSL recently.
http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=148sid=6340968

We're taking donations on http://utos.org if you are wanting to help.
UTOS is paying for the paypal fees to make the amounts round out to
what was actually donated.

Clint,

Thank you very much.  I have wanted to put up a site with a paypal link,
but have not had the time with so much going on all at once.  I cannot
find the words to adequately express my gratitude.  You've been a great
friend since the day I met you when you gave me a ride to UPHPU, and I
appreciate it.  You can take some pictures off of http://flfn.org/ or
Facebook from my profile, you can refer people to http://flfn.org/ , and
you can reference my request for help letter on FLFN.org:

http://flfn.org/blog/brasto/help-request-letter

The letter is a little out-dated because people are already sending us
to Disneyland and our front yard is done, and I think someone is
secretly planning to do our backyard, but it still adequately shows
what's happening, where cash donations can help, and how really wanted
to try and be self-sufficient to the last.

Thank you again.

Brandon

 And the guys from UPHPU and UTOS have put up a donation site at
 chipin.com (you can see the widget on blog.utos.org).  UTOS is paying
 all the paypal fees and I'll be putting out a blog post shortly about
 the situation.

 We're gonna do everything we can to help.

 Cheers,

 Hi there,

 I saw the term 'coding chops' on a job description today.  I'm guessing from
 the context that 'chops' would mean something like 'skills.' But I'd like to
 know exactly what it means, considering I can't seem to shake the mental
 image of a tuba player with some serious facial hair. Google isn't much help
 on this topic.  Anyone care to comment?

 -Velda

-- And I guess I should reply to the group too :) --

Velda,

Sure, I'll reply.

My opinion of that reference probably comes from the following idiom:

* bust one's chops, Slang. to exert oneself.

I found this reference at dictionary.com, but have heard reference to
something similar before.

I think it also might have reference to a variation on musical ability
as described by a google search for 'define: chops'

* Technical ability, to execute music physically and to negotiate
chord changes. Distinct from the capacity to have good ideas, to
phrase effectively and build a solo.  (source --

[UPHPU] SCaLE 7x Discounts to Local User Groups

[Clint Savage]

SCALE 7x, the premier Open Source Community conference in the
southwestern United States, returns to the Westin LAX Hotel, site of
the 6th Expo!

For 2009, the main weekend conference at SCALE 7x has been expanded.
In addition to the three main tracks, a Beginner's track and a
Developer's track have been added.

SCALE will be February 20th - 22nd, 2009. Mark your calendars!

If you have not heard about SCaLE 7x, it's a great event and one that
shouldn't be missed.  Because of our relationship with SCaLE as
premier community events, they have extended us the opportunity to
invite UTOSC attendees, Local User Groups and select others the
opportunity to attend SCaLE 7x at a 50% discount.

If you are interested in this discount, feel free to hit the SCaLE 7x
Registration page at https://socallinuxexpo.org/reg7/ and register
with the discount code UTOS.  This should make the registration a very
inexpensive $30.

We're looking forward to a great year of conferences in 2009 and SCaLE
looks to do a great job setting the tone.

Cheers,

Clint Savage

 should be able to work with the data. I've searched for an existing
 solution, but have not as yet found one. I'm wondering if any UPHPUers
 (UPHPUites? UPHPUtahns?) have already invented this wheel and can
 point me in the right direction.

 Regards,

 Dave

What about their api requires an external application?  I mean it's
just code.  Sure you have to have the libs installed to use the api,
but so what!

[UPHPU] Utah Code Camp - This weekend

[Clint Savage]

Hi all,

If you aren't doing anything this weekend, the following might be a good
opportunity to see some cool coding demonstrations.  Pat, the facilitator of
this conference is looking to get a bunch of open source people involved in
a track because he thinks its valuable.  Currently, he doesn't have much in
that direction.

Anyway, if you are interested, here is the info...

[UPHPU] Fwd: [Utos-announce] UTOSC 2008 Call For Papers - Get moving!

[Clint Savage]

Before there can be another Utah Open Source Conference in 2008, there
 needs to be a list of people
 who will present on various topics. This is how YOU can contribute to
 the conference: by being a
 presenter!

  The UTOSC2008 Call For Papers begins now at http://2008.utosc.com/!
 Papers can be submitted until
  July 1, after which time chosen presenters will be announced.

  Some people are natural public speakers and presenters while others
 are reluctant to imagine
  themselves in front of a group of people at a conference. Because
 this year's Utah Open Source
  Conference theme is HOWTO, nobody should feel unqualified or
 inexperienced to present. We want
  presenters who can share information at all levels.

  And now, some tough questions.

  What should I talk about?

  You should talk about Open Source software, philosophy, technology,
 etc. The theme for this year's
  conference is HOWTO so your topic can be targeted at beginners,
 experts, or someone in between.

  It may help to see what topics were presented last year. Go to
 http://www.utosc.com/2007/sessions/
  for information about 2007's conference sessions.

  This year, several sessions will be targetted at beginning or
 newbie users including those who are
  family members of an Open Source geek. Basic sessions on using
 OpenOffice.org, GIMP, or K3B are good
  examples of these types of sessions.

  We are asking for presentations in one of the following categories,
 so bear that in mind also:

 * Business
 * Technical
 * Community
 * Education

  What does a response to a call for papers look like?

  You should come up with a brief outline, or abstract, of your
 presentation and who would be
  interested. You should also provide some information about you, your
 experience with open source
  software and the specific aspects you're proposing to speak about.

  Here's an example of an abstract:

 Title: Open source home security

 This presentation will outline how I have used a
 Linux server, IP cameras, and open source software,
 to provide around-the-clock video and image
 surveilance of my home which is archived for later
 viewing and is available for viewing via the Web
 when I'm not at home.

 The presentation will describe how to set up a
 system similar to mine and what alternatives are
 available for software and hardware in the system.

  What's in it for me?

  There are lots of perks reserved for people chosen to present at the
 Utah Open Source Conference!

  Resumé material
 Having presented on a topic at a conference is a great thing to
 add to your resumé and could
  make the difference the next time you apply for a job.

  Free admission
 If you're chosen as a speaker, we'll let you — and your family —
 into the conference for FREE!

  A picture and a paragraph
 Speakers are asked to submit a digital photo and a paragraph of
 biographical information which
  will be seen by those viewing the UTOSC website and those reading the
 conference program.

  Warm fuzzies
 Being involved in the Utah Open Source Conference is a great
 experience. Just ask anyone who
  was involved in 2007's conference.

  What's that URL again?
 Go to http://2008.utosc.com/ and get yourself an account. Then
 you can submit as many
  presentation ideas as you like.

 On this note, I'll make a big announcement for Open Source database

 start a Utah MySQL User Group.  I've heard others express interest in
 such a group also.  I've seen more MySQL questions each year in UPHPU,
 and I think we have enough interest to grow a Utah Open Source Database
 community.  Let Utah show a higher level of support for Open Source
 databases as it has for so many other Open Source products.  Tom
 Welche's (sp?) inspiring presentation on building Open Source
 communities motivated me to, as Picard would say, make it so.  I've
 registered these domains:

   http://umysqlug.org
   http://uosdb.org

 The umysqlug.org domain currently redirects to uosdb.org.  I'll put up
 mail lists and add features later.  Perhaps some of you who go to next
 Thursday's meeting will stay after and help me plan the site, or maybe
 we can make it a meeting in itself.  Post your thoughts or comments on
 the site, or comment in this thread.  Who would like to be a postgres
 champion,or a MySQL champion?  Now's your chance.

May I suggest you do *all* Open Source databases?  I think that MySQL
is only a small portion of the available dbs out there.  Think of
postgres, sqlite, etc.  All are databases, but some have a different
purpose.  Maybe talking about *all* db structures would be helpful?
What do you guys think?

 I'm wondering whether you mean that Google for domains would be a

 Google for domains at all.

Google for domains does host email (aliased) lists.  And yes, they'd
be bad for our list.  I actually like the concept of Google for
Domains, its just *incomplete* so far.  Too many things lacking to
really call it a solution, but if all you want to do is maintain a few
email addresses and a few webpages and a calendar.  It's perfect.

 In the former case, I completely agree.  Google for domains
 really isn't set up to do mailing lists, and it would be a huge
 headache to manage a list like this one in that system.  In the
 latter case, though, I've set up a couple of domains on Google
 Apps, and so far I've been very happy with the service.  If
 that's what you mean, I'd be very curious why.

Re: [UPHPU] do we need the announcement list?

[Clint Savage]

 Thanks for the feedback. Sorry for leaving your hanging. I think that
 we should keep the announcement list and work harder to keep
 announcements and discussions separated so that people can trust it.

I wonder what else actually happens on the announce list besides the
meeting announcements. Why does it have to be there if that's the
case?  I follow it, but I don't really differentiate between it and
the main (uphpu) list.  Same thing goes for the jobs list.  Seems to
me to be a bit of a waste, mailman can support topics too, but its not
even necessary to have this many lists.  Is it?

 I wouldn't do it.  A couple of other lists I've been on have switched back
 away from Google Groups because of the troubles they caused.  Yes, they
 handle things fairly nicely, but you lose a lot of control over things like
 headers (there wasn't anything a sorting rule could really be built on and
 sorting by subject isn't a good idea, but please folks, don't flame me on
 that statement, however, ask if you don't understand me on it).

Lamont, if you are referring to google for domains (alias lists),
that's different from google groups.  My experience with Google Groups
has been nice and smooth.  Google for domains doesn't integrate Google
Groups, but if it did, I think many people would switch everything
there.

 All,

 I am toying with the idea of dropping Mailman for Google Groups and
 would like some feedback from the group. Mailman is a nice, old
 friend that has giving years of dedicated service to the community,
 but his age is showing. Sure, once you get it configured and locked
 down, it will run like a champ for years on end, but installing and
 configuring Mailman is a royal pain and even adding/editing lists,
 administering services, and managing personal accounts is a pain. The
 interface is archaic and horrible from a usability standpoint.
 Mailman's features are excellent, but they aren't any good if you
 can't figure out how to use them or it is so complicated that you
 don't want to bother. Plus the archives aren't searchable. Plus the
 archives display your email address un-obsficated.

Just don't use Google for domains!  I think if they actually
integrated the functionality of Google Groups it'd be a perfect world.
 Google Groups is a nice idea and adding us to a list on there would
be fine with me.  Probably the only drawback is that the email
addresses wouldn't end in uphpu.org IIRC.

Cheers,

 While I have considered alternate solutions off an on in the past,
 the upcoming project of rebuilding the server has be considering it
 very seriously now. Another motivation is the desire for a more
 robust and flexible solution that better meets the needs of all
 users. I have longed for some time for a solution that married a
 forum and a mailing list into one, so that the forum people would be
 happy and the email people would be happy… with posts coming from
 both email and web-based interface and being one and the same…
 perfectly synchronized and users only interacting through the medium
 they desire and receiving notifications in the manner they desire.

 Well, there is a solution that does just this: Google Groups. And,
 it's free. And it has a very slick, user-friendly interface. And it's
 archives are searchable. And it obsficates your email address. You
 can even receive the post via RSS if you are so inclined. I am still
 checking to see if I can import our old archives, but assuming that
 that and everyone having to have a Good Account are the only
 downsides, what does everyone think? I think that I'm ready to make
 the switch. We would still post to uphpu@uphpu.org, the mail would
 just be delivered from [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead. It does
 digest mode and everything.

 What do you think?

[UPHPU] Utah Open Source Conference is excited to welcome Bruce Perens - September 6, 2007

[Clint Savage]

Hi all,

Its that time of year.  Time for a major figure in Open Source to come to
visit us.  Time for all of us to gather in a large room and listen to the
musings of an Uber Geek, a major Open Source advocate and an all-around
nerdy guy.  This nerdy guy has some strong opinions on Open Source, and its
sure to be an event.

Bruce Perens is the author of the Open Source Definition and has been
speaking out for Open Source since the movement began.  He's an excellent
speaker, I've heard several of his podcasts and am very much looking forward
to him coming to Provo to speak to all of us geeks in person.

Bruce has been on a crusade for Open Source and has started a new site:
techp.org.  Along with perens.com Bruce addresses the importance of Open
Source and why he wants it to succeed.  I've spent a good amount of time on
his sites recently and am very impressed with his thoughts and ideas.  Being
the president of Utah Open Source and desiring to promote Open Source from
within Utah, I am excited to see a force of good in Bruce.  He's talking
about how Open Source should be, how it can be used in businesses and homes
alike and how people can benefit overall from the Open Source movement.

I am personally so excited to see the growth of Open Source in Utah.  We
have such a vibrant community here and I think we can be so much more.
Bruce has the vision to lead a national or international explosion of Open
Source in Business and Community.  I think we all can benefit from hearing
what he thinks about Utah and Open Source, about the economic benefits and
limitations of Open Source in both the business and user group communities.
And because of this, I think Bruce's presentation is very well timed.

So I invite you all to come as my guest, free of charge to the Open Source
Technology Center at Novell on September 6, 2007 at 7pm.  I invite you to
enjoy a nice dinner, and I invite you to learn more about Open Source and
its benefits to our community as well as to the world.

The only requirement for this keynote is that you register, its first come
first serve and we only have 100 seats to give away.  This is a thank you to
the community for participating in Open Source this year.  We'll be doing
this every year as part of the Utah Open Source Conference.

clint, i must have misunderstood what it was that you were asking for
then. I thought you were asking for particular site's user
experiences/impressions. i gave mine for flickr. sorry to have wasted
your time there.

Jim,

You didn't waste my time.  And I am sure that I didn't do a perfect job of
asking for what I want.  Also, I received replies only with flickr and was
hoping for more than just that one.

So thank you for your response.  Like I said, flickr is nice, but it seems
there are many other options out there.

Cheers,

Clint

 I guess I hoped for a better response.  I've done some research and have
 seen several I like, many have most or all of the features I like.  Many
 don't obviously.  I think I'd prefer to see the options and not limit it
to
 one.  Share with me why you like them, or what's better about
them.  That's
 why I sent this email.

I'm surprised no one's brought up picasaweb.  That's my preference -
works well with picasa, and one of the best interfaces if you ask me
out there on the web.  While probably not a ton of space, a free
account gives you 2 Gb of storage.  Paid ($15 yearly I think) gives
about 6Gb of storage (Google really needs to make that unlimited).
It's served me very well thus far, and I always get comments from
family on how easy it is to browse through the pictures I upload for
them to view.

Jesse



I like picasaweb, but the space limitation is disheartening.  I've really
liked the google apps and have wondered why they haven't joined the
unlimited space revolution.

Oh Jennifer, Jennifer, Jennifer . . . you're either new to this list,
very brave, or very foolish. Next you'll want to discuss top versus
bottom-posting . . . :)

Since I get the digest, I'm probably late to the discussion. But when
did that ever stop me from commenting?

I think you'll find, Jennifer, that people have very definite (and
often intractable) opinions about this issue. If you haven't already
been referred to the long and pointless articles arguing the issue,
please allow me to waste your time:

Reply-To Munging Considered Harmful:

Reply-To Munging Considered Useful:

Reply-To Munging Still Considered Harmful:
http://woozle.org/~neale/papers/reply-to-still-harmful.html

Sadly, we have not, as a group, demonstrated very much capacity for
thoughtful discussion on some of these issues. Inevitably the
discussions have descended into flame wars -- to the point that we
largely choose to ignore these concepts, for the sake of peace on the
list.

Of course, it has been some time since we had a flame war. Have we
evolved/grown/matured to the point that we can reason together, listen
thoughtfully, and discuss opposing viewpoints without bickering?
Perhaps, but I'm not holding my breath.

Personally, I understand your desire to have reply-to munged. I've
alway thought that it was a simple case of replying to the entity from
which I received the email. For example, when you, Jennifer (I point
this out in case you've forgotten your name), sent an email, you sent
it the the mailing list. Then the mailing list sent it to me. I expect
my reply-to to go to the mailing list (the entity that sent me the
email), and not Jennifer -- who never emailed me at all. (Why don't
you ever email, Jennifer? You know how your mother and I worry.)

Of course, other people have very valid reasons for seeing things in a
different light. And I would never stir the pot by introducing
arguments into a discussion so long put to rest. So if you are on the
other side of the reply-to munging debate, and don't want to get your
dander up, be sure to skip the preceding paragraph. And this one. And
if you don't think I'm funny . . . well, you're not the first. But
please do try not to be jealous that I managed to use dander in my
email, and you didn't. Jealousy is so unbecoming . . .

Anyway, Jennifer, if you ARE new to the list, welcome! I sincerely
hope you find much help and comfort in our little corner of the world.

Regards,

Dave




Mr Turnbull, it sounds to me like you want to start a flame war again over
such a standard issue.  I'd say that you are wrong, but why argue something
I already know to be true.  :)

Re: [UPHPU] Re: Mailing list reply-to address

[Clint Savage]

I think there's a better idea here.  I prefer pushing the reply-to-all
button (and think its the only correct way) when I reply.  Maybe some of us
would like to just click reply.  Mailman doesn't have this feature, but it
could easily be implemented (methinks) to make it possible to choose how you
reply to messages.
