But it wouldn't help me at the moment even if it would be DragonFly port - browser plugin is the only thing I'm interested in ;). -- Hasso Tepper

I think that opening Java for real has nothing to do with it ;). Whether it's completely open or not, it's only distribution issue AFAIK - how you are allowed to distribute you modifications and binaries. http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsddom/java/index.html exists quite a long time already. The real issue (as always) is whether someone did/will do some real work to get Java working on DragonFly? Whatever license is, it doesn't give us human resources ;) -- Hasso Tepper

Re: FLISOL08
FLISOL is a event run simultaneously in almost every latin american country, several cities per country. It is a BG installfest, there is a lot of people with low or none experience in Open Source that bring the PC and a bunch of volunteers help them to install enough software to run the day to day activities and learn the first steps, usually the installation is a ready-to-go Os, like Ubuntu, anyway there is recurrent users going, who maybe had the first install 3 years ago and now looking for something else and volunteers who are almost all linux-admins, we focuses on the last group, there was a lot of curiosity about BSD and about our BUG. There is other activities too, there was some 1 hour conferences about open standards, multimedia software, and other topics. And there is some stands with people promoting some stuff, here in BA was Ubuntu and "Buenos Aires Libre" the last one is a big regional adhoc wifi network, it covers pretty much the whole city and is full collaborative, the people there was teaching how to modify some routers to get them into the network. I was looking for a english version of the official FLISOL site, but found nothing. :-( FLISOL means LatinAmenrican Free Software Install Fest. It runs once every year. I just found this video in youtube, and i appear almost the whole video :-P Im the one with the Green TShirt and the lng hair talking with people on the back and the cam shows me every 5 seconds, i didnt notice someone was recording. :-P http://youtube.com/watch?v=TkYen9NhkQI&feature=related The Green TShirt was the oficial Tshirt here, i didnt choose the color, I cant get lost in the antarctica wearing that:-( See ya Damian On Mon, Apr 28, 2008 at 1:46 PM, Matthew Dillon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > :Hey, > > > :I just wanted to share with everyone my experience in FLISOL08. > :Me and some others BUG people volunteered to the FLISOL08 in Buenos > :Aires, it was decided before we joined that everyone was going to get > :Ubuntu installed unless they ask for something else.

Re: Some questions
:Hello! : :I have some questions about DragonflyBSD! : :1. What you have reach since the forking of FreeBSD? That would be a pretty long list. The kernel's core APIs have been almost entirely rewritten, we have a really nice light weight process abstraction, integration with pkgsrc, and many other things. :2. Which features you are plan for the near future (2.0, 2.2)? 2.0's biggest features are going to be the new filesystem, called HAMMER, and a (hopefully) very nicely stabilized MP-SAFE network stack. 2.0 will be in the July time frame. :3. What you are plan for the distant future (2.4, 2.6...3.0)? The ultimate goal of the project is transparent machine clustering. That would probably be in 3.0 time frame, more then a year away. :And sorry for my bad English. I hope you can understand me. : :araratpp -Matt Matthew Dillon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Re: FLISOL08
I got no idea what is wrong with thunderbird, but it sent 2 mails, one autosaved draft and the final version, and i just noticed this reading the list. That was weird. I will see if i can reproduce the error and report it to mozilla, since i remeber the mail had some retry because connection problems, Im wondering if it had something to do with the double different sent. See ya around.

Some questions
Hello! I have some questions about DragonflyBSD! 1. What you have reach since the forking of FreeBSD? 2. Which features you are plan for the near future (2.0, 2.2)? 3. What you are plan for the distant future (2.4, 2.6...3.0)? And sorry for my bad English. I hope you can understand me. araratpp

FLISOL08
Hey, I just wanted to share with everyone my experience in FLISOL08. Me and some others BUG people volunteered to the FLISOL08 in Buenos Aires, it was decided before we joined that everyone was going to get Ubuntu installed unless they ask for something else. So we went to install Ubuntu 8.04, but had some DFBSD 1.12.2 CDs in the bag ready for installation. We installed a lot of Ubuntus while talking with volunteers and experienced users around about SOs stuff, FBSD7, DFBSD, Linux, Minix, and why not, windows vista, We spreed the curiosity bug all around. Since yesterday, we getting lot of msn/jabber/icq/mail from those who are trying it at home now. DFBSD was in the FLISOL! /cheer! Damian
