Most of us should be watching these webcasts; not because they provide  
unique information but because SANS codifies much of what is already  
known and provides legitimacy.  I am forwarding the entirety of the  
webcasts (no telling what any one person may be interested in) but  
take a peek at Webcast 4. I see far too much 'bandwagon think' being  
passed off as shrewd business logic. While a certain amount of herd  
behavior is expected and even desirable (we are, after all herd or  
social animals) mindless lemming behavior is not. Find out what the  
difference is.

Ubuntu), Bob Sutor (VP of Open Source and Linux at IBM), Noah Broadwater (VP
Information Services at Sesame Workshop), Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier (Community
Manager for openSUSE), Imad Sousou (Director of the Open Source Technology
Center at Intel) and many more industry leaders and top technical talent of
the community.

LinuxCon will take place September 21-23, 2009 at the Portland Marriott
Downtown Waterfront, Portland, OR.  Space is limited, so be sure to register
early to take advantage of this great education and collaboration
opportunity.

Registration Fee Deadline Alert: The current registration fee of US$399
expires on August 15th.  After that, the cost will increase to US$499.

==> LinuxCon Speakers Interviewed <==

As LinuxCon approaches, more anticipation is building for the excellent
speakers planned for the event. Two of those speakers, Joe Brockmeier and
Noah Broadwater, were recently interviewed by Linux.com to discover more
about the messages they will be bringing to the Linux community this
September.

In his latest role as openSUSE Community Manager, Brockmeier offers a unique
point of view from the corporate and community sides of the
Linux ecosystem.

Broadwater, Vice President of Information Services at Sesame Workshop,
revealed a little bit more about his organization's use of Linux and how it
solved Sesame Workshop's problems as easy as 1, 2, 3.

Computerworld: Does Google Chrome OS Further Fragment Linux Landscape?
Jim Zemlin, executive director for the Linux Foundation, which oversees
development of the Moblin Linux OS for netbooks: "Linux and consumers are
the true winners.... The more companies and manufacturers base their
products on Linux, the stronger Linux becomes. Say goodbye to monopoly
pricing.

PC World: Group Pitches Linux for Free Netbooks From Mobile Carriers
Mobile carriers may start giving away netbooks for free, and Linux-based
application stores could help them profit by doing it, the head of a Linux
advocacy group told Chinese companies... The move by carriers to sell
netbooks at a discount and seek revenue from later application downloads is
an opportunity for Linux, Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux
Foundation, said at a Beijing forum. He urged Chinese and global companies
to consider offering devices and download stores based on Linux.

Ars Technica: New Linux Patch Could Circumvent Microsoft's FAT Patents
The Linux Foundation says that the best solution at this point is for
vendors to ditch FAT and come up with a new vendor-neutral format that can
be used without having to pay licensing fees. Although that might be a
viable long-term solution, there is still a clear need to support FAT in
Linux today. To facilitate this, developers are evaluating technical
workarounds while the Open Invention Network is seeking prior art for the
purpose of invalidating the patents.

Free Software Magazine: Interview with Amanda McPherson of LinuxCon in
Portland
Q: Was there a moment when you honestly wondered if you?d be able to pull
the conference off?

broad Linux conference, and I thought it was a great idea. There is a need
for something technical, fun and community-based...

==> From the Director <==

Most of you have seen the news today from Google formally announcing their
Chrome Operating System for netbooks using Intel x86 and ARM chips. The is
painted as a classic ?clash of the titans? between Google and Microsoft,
with Google finally directly assaulting Microsoft?s top cash business. (They
have already opened the war against Microsoft?s other cash cow, Office, with
Google Docs.) While this is a great story, I prefer to frame at as David vs
Goliath with the little OS that could, Linux, as the foundation of this
announcement, as well as the other operating systems challenging Windows.

Randy:

The iPhone has become such a rousing success that a lot of people have
forgotten that prior to its announcement, it wasn't a foregone
conclusion that that the iPhone would be viable at all.

Apple wanted to use a pure GSM chipset to minimize the RF hardware
needed. To be used on CDMA networks (only deployed in US and South
Korea) would have required a second RF chipset (minimal cost but extra
board real estate, power consumption, and heat), or an integrated
GSM/CDMA chipset (much higher cost).

In the US, that decision equated to AT&T only; Sprint/Nextel and
Verizon Wireless use CDMA. T-Mobile did not have any 3G capability at
the time, and when it does (trickling out now) it uses a non-standard
set of frequencies.

So... Apple was forced into partnering with AT&T in the US, and AT&T
struck a hard bargain in the exclusivity requirement.

Apple had some leverage too - it forced AT&T to create new
infrastructure to support Visual Voicemail.

But the iPhone is turning out to be a Faustian Bargain for AT&T -
Apple controls the majority of the customer relationship with the App
Store, iTunes Store, and handles hardware support on a par with AT&T
stores (unlike with any other phone vendor that AT&T resells). AT&T is
increasingly forced into the role of "transport" or as I prefer to
call it (per David Isenberg) - AT&T is becoming a "Stupid Network" for
the iPhone.

Indeed... the integrated approach that Apple took with the iPhone has
proven to be working so well, and so profitably for Apple, that it
really is undermining the entire premise of the wireless telephony
industry.

And... it's not a foregone conclusion that AT&T will update the iPhone
to include CDMA. The US market is actually not as large as other
markets such as Europe and Asia that use exclusively GSM. To get
maximum economies of scale, Apple may decide to maintain GSM-only
iPhones. Apple could drop the US exclusivity to AT&T in the US and
allow... if not actively promote, iPhone usage on other networks such
as T-Mobile (Internet connectivity would work, but slowly). And there
are a few small, regional carriers that use GSM that could offer the
iPhone.

But, ultimately, the iPhone will be much less of a factor in the
coming years. Just as the Mac provided a template for how computing
could be done a lot better than the prevailing systems of the time,
the iPhone has done the same for wireless phones. Android will soon
gain near-parity with the iPhone's capabilities (but not its
"polish"), and the Palm Pre and RIM are also aggressively pushing to
provide iPhone-like capabilities.

That said, Apple and the iPhone (and the forthcoming iTablet) will
continue to thrive because of the ecosystem - iTunes store for
content, App Store for software, and extended services like MobileMe
make things pretty simple and integrated.


Thanks,

Steve

Randy:

Apple kept the iPhone 3G at the $99 price point as an entry level, but
there is, of course, the usual oath of fealty to AT&T, which is a
hurdle a lot of folks simple cannot get over.

As a former Verizon customer, in the Northwest, AT&T's coverage,
especially 3G data, is definitely inferior.

Thanks,

Steve

Dear Linux Foundation Members:

==> This Week's Original Content from the Linux Foundation <==

Linux Kernel to Get Microsoft Code
Microsoft has contributed code to the Linux kernel. Such a statement has
been made before, always under an "April 1" dateline or tagged as "humor."
But neither of those conditions are the case today. The statement is
completely true, and the relationship between Microsoft and Linux will never
be the same again.

How They Built it: The Software of Apollo 11
When Apollo 11?s Lunar Module landed on the Moon 40 years ago today, the
software that helped take humans to another celestial body was essentially
built using paper-tape rolls and thick cardstock that was punched with
special holes.
(http://linux.com/news/software/developer/29068-apollo-11-story)

OpenMoko Layoffs Lead to New Open Hardware Venture
OpenMoko?s aborted effort to create an open-source-run cellphone has given
birth to a new venture that aims to unlock the computing potential in
everyday things to tinkerers, open source fans, and developers alike.

On the Right rPath: An Interview with Billy Marshall, Part 1
Billy Marshall founded rPath a few years ago, pioneering the delivery of
software appliances. Prior to that he spent several years at Red Hat as
creator of the Red Hat Network and then as VP, North America Sales. He is
currently spending the summer as a consultant at EMC in its Cloud
Infrastructure Group.

Likewise, Managing Heterogeneous Environments
Who would have ever imagined that the creators of an open source bridge
between the Microsoft and Linux worlds would have come from the ranks of the
Redmond colossus itself? Stranger than fiction perhaps but that?s how
Bellevue, Wash.-based Likewise Software came into being nearly five years
ago.

Apache Lucene Helps Online European Library Open Its Virtual Doors
When a group of European museums joined together to put images of all of
their paintings, drawings, sculptures, photos and other artifacts together
in a centralized, online collection for the world to view, they turned to
open source enterprise search software to make it happen.

Open Source Could Create Better Election Software, Jobs
The staff person at the PAC told me she was having problems finding files
after exporting them, and since I figured she was running FECFile via WINE,
I showed her how to access the WINE file system to find her files. It was a
simple fix, and I didn't think much of it at the time. Several months later,
I got another call that they were having trouble installing a required
FECFile software update and that the FEC did not offer support for
Linux-based systems.

Linux Migration Guide: Accessing Windows Data from Linux and Vice Versa
Since you're starting from the Windows world before moving to Linux, you no
doubt have files on a Windows drive somewhere that you'll want to access
from Linux. Some of those files may be on a computer that's set up to boot
into either Linux or Windows. Others may live on other Windows computers you
have networked together in the house. Either way, don't worry, you can get
to those files.

The Kernel Newbie Corner: Everything You Wanted to Know About Module
Parameters

the module is loaded and running, and even change it on the fly if we want.

Open Source Word Processors Give You Lots of Free Choices, Part 1
With interest heating up around Linux on netbooks, notebooks and desktop
PCs, more and more people are hunting for good word processing software that
runs on Linux. Luckily, while a lot of word processing options for Linux
have fallen by the wayside, new ones keep springing up, too. Meanwhile, some
of the older standbys are picking up features that rival those of Microsoft
Word.

Sparklines for Representing Data Trends Graphically Inline with Text
Sparklines lets you show a graph inline with plain text that gives the
reader an overview of the relation of one value with another. So instead of
seeing how many US Dollars you can currently buy with a Euro (1.3245), you
can see the trend for the last month as well, which is the case in March
2009

Amazon can reach in and randomly destroy the books on your Kindle remotely
over Whispernet, without asking your permission first.  Well, technically,
thanks to the terms and conditions that you have to agree to before you buy
the Kindle, you gave them permission in advance.   Well, no thanks.

Send In the Clouds
While it is a significant hurdle, licensing differences are only part of the
problem people have with getting software on their computers. A larger
problem is the installation paradigm itself: downloading/loading a large
chunk of binary code onto your hard drive, then turning on a setup routine
that lets that code infltrate the operating system, most of the time with
positive consequences, but sometimes not so positive.

Licensing 101 for Open Source Projects--Pick a License
When you write your code from scratch, you get the added benefit of being
the so-called ?owner? of the code. In legalese, it means that you own the
copyright over the code, and can restrict others from using it, or to grant
them limited rights (via licensing). More importantly, you are free to
decide yourself on what terms you want to license the code, e.g., whether to
for example license your code for a fee (i.e., via proprietary licensing) or
under an open source license (where a fee is sometimes possible, but not
necessarily always a viable business model given the characteristics of open
source licenses).

Ubuntu Artwork Team Shows Promising Mockups for Next Release
Ubuntu is, in my opinion, one of the easiest desktop Linux distributions
around. It caters directly to the end user, and recently such initiatives as
the "100 Papercuts" project show how much Canonical is dedicated to
improving usability in future versions.

enKryptik Observations - 8 CLI Tools that are Under-utilized, Sometimes
Unknown, or I watch a lot of the Linux boards and various distribution sites
these days and notice the trend of wanting everything to be bigger, better
and flashier. With great projects like Beryl (I love distracting Windows
administrators with the cube...it's like watching a bug fly into one of
those electric blue lights), and developers in the open source community
constantly improving and designing ever more functional GUI interfaces
(think tools such as Yast2 or Synaptic) it is easy to start letting your CLI
skills get rusty and forget about your little but mighty friends on the
console

"So if you're an incumbent telco or cableco that doesn't want competition in
your territory, you simply advertise that 3 megabit downloads and 200
kilobit uploads are available to all, and poof! all ARRA-funded competition
disappears. No new equipment needed. Just run the ad."

"The answer to the obvious question is, No, there's no requirement in the
NOFA that advertised speeds have any relationship to actual speeds -- or
anything else."

Hi everyone,
I use to use Update Expert from St. Bernard until they were bought out
by Shavlik. NetChk is their product and it's painful. I've been
using it since Feb 09 and I don't like it. It's slow, gives to 
much information scans for products I don't even have I my pc

I rather not use Microsoft solution WSUS

I have windows 2000 and XP machines

so if you can suggest something different that would be great

thanks

Dear Linux Foundation Members:

==> This Week's Original Content from the Linux Foundation <==

Open Source for America Promotes FOSS for Government
As the US struggles with a continuing recession, both the private and public
sectors are looking for ways to cut or mitigate operating costs,
particularly in the arena of information technology. Starting today, a new
coalition of technology industry companies, organizations, and academic
institutions will be actively promoting one sure way of cutting IT costs:
using open source software and open technology solutions.

)

Canonical Releases Launchpad Source Code
A major advantage of open source software development is the communication
between the members of any given project. But what happens when
communication must take place between projects? That's where a web-based
collaboration service like Launchpad comes in.
(

)


Installing Eeebuntu On The eeePC 1000HE
Before even taking the sticker off the screen, the stock 1-GB memory was
replaced with the new stick. I also plugged in the microscopic Logitech
receiver and put the included batteries into the mouse. I booted into
Windows XP just to make sure that the thing would power up and then it was
off to its big brother, my ASUS X83-VM laptop, to set things up for the
installation. Soon, Jaunty Jackalope 9.04, via Eeebuntu would be running on
the new Netbook.

Open Source Word Processors Give You Lots of Free Choices, Part 1
With interest heating up around Linux on netbooks, notebooks and desktop
PCs, more and more people are hunting for good word processing software that
runs on Linux. Luckily, while a lot of word processing options for Linux
have fallen by the wayside, new ones keep springing up, too. Meanwhile, some
of the older standbys are picking up features that rival those of Microsoft
Word.

)

Open Source Word Processors Give You Lots of Free Choices, Part 2
If you're like most PC users, the word processor is one of your own most
mission-critical applications. On the Linux side, the OpenOffice.org Writer
word processing program has garnered a lot of attention lately, partly due
to the inclusion of the OpenOffice.org suite on high-profile netbooks. But
literally dozens of other word processing applications are also out there
for Linux, and some of these are lighter in weight, suiting them to possible
use on either a netbook, an embedded device, or that old legacy PC sitting
around in your storage area.

A Closer Look at the KIWI Imaging System
With KIWI the creation of a USB stick-installed OS, the creation of an
appliance, or the creation of a VM (Virtual Machine) or LiveCD with your own
customized distribution has become a matter of setting up a configuration
directory and running a few simple commands.

The Kernel Newbie Corner: Building and Running a New Kernel
This week, we're going to take a bit of a detour from building and loading
modules to discuss how to configure, build, install and reboot a new kernel
since, very soon, we'll be covering debugging and there's only so much you
can do without being able to configure and reboot under a new kernel with
extra debugging features. And while most of you have probably already done
this once or twice, I'll try to throw in a couple surprises even for the
hardened veterans out there.

Multicore Video Decoding with MPlayer, Part 1
In this two-part article series I'll look at two ways to possibly improve
your h264 playback with MPlayer: using multiple CPU cores and using the GPU
to offload the decoding. I'll include benchmarks so you can see the effect
each of these has on performance. Hopefully after reading these articles you
can make an educated guess if either method might be enough to solve your
high-definition h264-decoding jitters.
(
http://ldn.linuxfoundation.org/article/multicore-video-decoding-with-mplayer-part-1
)

On the Right rPath: An Interview with Billy Marshall, Part 2
In Part 2, our focus is on which applications are likely to make their way
into SWAs, how some large ISVs are creating SWAs around their applications,
and the relationship between SWAs and clouds.

Linux Paves Way for New ?Open Source in America? Coalition
Linux has a strong history of deployments in government agencies around the
globe and has helped drive the adoption of open source applications in
government in recent years. But, we have a long, winding road in front of
us. Research firm Gartner predicts that only 25% of government vertical,
domain-specific applications will either be open source or contain software
developed by a community by 2011.

Microsoft Becomes a Linux Kernel Contributor
You read that right ? Microsoft has become a contributor to the Linux
kernel. Microsoft and Greg Kroah-Hartman have posted about this in more
detail, so I?d encourage you to go read those posts for the full details.
The long and short of it, though, is that Microsoft has contributed roughly
20,000 lines of code to the Linux kernel related to their Hyper-V drivers.

"investigate the feasibility to run GCompris on Moblin." Follow his blog
entries and learn more about this new project for Moblin.

OSCON So Far
OSCON has a major problem: There?s way too much to do! So far, this week has
been chock full of excitement. Though not part of the ?official? OSCON
program, the Community Leadership Summit started on Saturday. Lots of people
from OSCON were in attendance, but also a fair number of people from
communities that have nothing to do with open source. This was a pretty good
mix. A few hundred people showed up Saturday morning, and a smaller crowd
turned up Sunday.

Sony's Crippled Intel VT Support
A funny thing happened when I recently attempted to create a KVM virtual
machine on my Sony Vaio laptop. Upon loading the kvm-intel.ko kernel module,
I receive a rather peculiar error message: "kvm: disabled by BIOS". Disabled
by BIOS? Although the error really didn't say much, I could only assume that
somehow the BIOS provided by Sony for my laptop disabled Intel VT by
default.

==> Other News You Need to Know <==

The H: Microsoft and Vyatta Rebut Reports of GPL Violation
Reports that Microsoft had to release the Hyper-V Linux Integration
Components (LinuxIC) under the GPLv2 because they had violated the GPL have
been rebutted by Microsoft and Vyatta. Vyatta had been referenced by reports
as the source of the accusation.

internetnews.com: Red Hat on the S&P 500 is a Sign of Linux Maturity
When Red Hat had its IPO in 1999, many (myself included) saw it as the real
coming of age of Linux. While there is little doubt that IPO was a big event
for Red Hat and Linux, perhaps an even more important one from a milestone
point of view will officially occur [last] Friday.

internetnews.com: Finding Linux Bugs Before they Become Exploits
It's not everyday that there is a public security exploit published for the
Linux kernel, yet that is what happened in early July. Though the flaw
itself was patched in the mainline Linux kernel several weeks prior to the
public exploit code being published, not all users may have patched. It
could have been a lot worse.

The Moblin Weblog: With Third Release Candidate, Clutter is Closer
Clutter is the advanced user-interface library at the heart of Moblin v2.
The Clutter open-source project keeps moving closer to a ?version 1.0?

Ten Years After: An Interview with MontaVista's Jim Ready
In 1999 when you founded MontaVista, desktop Linux was in its infancy, the
boom in Linux servers was still several years away, and the embedded world
was devoted to real-time operating systems. What made you think Linux would
be accepted or even work in the embedded world?

"Having said all that, it is amazing that Microsoft would even consider
releasing software under the GPL. Who would have thought even one year ago
that they would ever contribute code to Linux, even if it was for their own
benefit? So on that level it is amazing indeed. What this patch does show is
that Linux and free software is gaining in power and popularity, so much so
that Microsoft can no longer ignore it. "

Dear Linux Foundation Members:

==> This Week's Original Content from the Linux Foundation <==

Jack Wallen: Get Your Chrome Experience On Linux
If you have anything to do with IT or computers you know about the Google
Chrome browser. No matter where you stand on your opinion of Google, you can
not deny the Chrome browser is fast. In fact, Chrome is setting the standard
for browser speed such that the competition is now playing a serious game of
catch up. The Chrome browser is so fast (at both startup and page load) that
the difference goes well beyond noticeable. Next to all of its competition
Google Chrome looks as if it is running in a completely different gear all
together.

Todd R. Weiss: How are Open Source Software Projects Surviving the
Recession?
The challenging U.S. economic recession has hit just about every segment of
our economy--so how's it been affecting open source software development
projects and their contributors?
(
http://linux.com/news/software/developer/33087-how-are-open-source-software-projects-surviving-the-economic-recession
)

Amanda McPherson: The Value of Linux Job Skills Rises 50%
Last week, Datamation published an article on the rise in value of Linux job
skills in today?s economy. Linux system administration skills are now the
number 2 hottest IT job skill. In the last year, the value of Linux skills
has risen 50 percent, an astounding rise in a tough economy.

Brian Proffitt: IBM: UNIX to Linux Migration Rate Growing
The question of whether Linux is ready for the enterprise has long been
answered by the enormous success the operating system has had in enterprise
and data center adoption. The new question should be: how long will it take
for Linux to supplant Unix's place in the enterprise?
(
http://linux.com/news/featured-blogs/168-brian-proffitt/33283-ibm-unix-to-linux-migration-rate-growing
)

Linus Torvalds: Programming
I've actually written code lately, although for some reason it's been all
these stupid projects. First I needed to fix the kernel tty refcounting,
then I got all OCD on the git SHA1 routines.
(http://linux.com/news/featured-blogs/176-linus-torvalds/33604-programming)

Robert Day: The Kernel Newbie Corner: What's in That Loadable Module,
Anyway?
In the very near future, we're going to attack the problem of debugging both
the kernel and our loadable modules in real time. But in order to do that,
we need to take a slight detour and dig further into the actual structure of
both of those types of objects to see how they're put together. Yes, this is
going to be a bit dry but you'll thank me for it some day.

Amanda McPherson: How To Survive LinuxCon
I?ve frequently been accused of packing too much into our Linux Foundation
events, making it nearly impossible to choose one session without missing
other ?must attend? ones. At this accusation, I proudly raise my hand and
say, ?Guilty as charged.? But by admitting guilt, I am not admitting
repentance. While Angela and Craig have ensured enough lunch, break and
networking time, LinuxCon is a testament to the same Linux Foundation
strategy of packing every session with great speaking talent and interesting
Linux and open source topics. One look at the LinuxCon schedule and you will
see we really haven?t changed at all.

Linux Foundation: Japan Linux Symposium Program Announced
The Linux Foundation (LF), has announced the opening of early registration
for the inaugural Japan Linux Symposium (JLS). The event, a new annual
technical conference designed to provide a collaboration and education space
in the Pacific Rim covering all matters Linux, takes place October 21 ? 23,
2009 in Tokyo, Japan.

Jacqueline Emigh: Industry Heavy-Hitters Swing into Linux Word Processing
As word processors for Linux keep picking up in popularity, household names
in the computer industry are getting into the act. Like Sun Microsystems,
Novell and IBM Lotus are both offering word processors based on
OpenOffice.org's open source Writer application, but none of these offerings
is exactly alike. Meanwhile, Moblin--a Linux-based netbook environment first
launched by Intel--is now on the verge of packing more power around word
processing and other aspects of office productivity.

Nathan Willis: Open Source, Open Research
Colleges and universities are as much about research as they are about the
classroom experience, and just as open source software can provide cost
savings, independence, and flexibility to educational institutions through
courseware and recordkeeping, it can assist in the research process. Open
source and open data standards play a role in collaboration, laboratory and
literary scholarly research, publishing, and managing the overall research
programs at institutions of higher learning.
(http://linux.com/news/software/applications/32332-open-source-open-research
)

Rob Reilly: Video Slide Shows with Impress
Lots of debate surrounds what should be in a slide show. Some people use one
word per slide. Others absolutely fill the screen with text, gadgets,
spinning icons, moving cartoons, and the kitchen sink. I swear, a colleague
of mine prided himself on filling every square inch of a slide with just
text. It drove me nuts.

Ben Martin: GTK+2: Let the Application Follow You!
Applications that use the GTK+2 library to provide their user interface have
some very powerful user interface migration functionality at their disposal.
With just a few API calls, an application can migrate its entire user
interface to a different screen on a multi display host, or even to another
X Server entirely.

SYSSTAT Howto: A Deployment and Configuration Guide for Linux Servers
This article covers a brief overview of how the SYSSTAT utility works,
initial configuration, deployment and testing on Linux based servers. It
includes an optional system configuration guide for writing SYSSTAT data
into a MySQL database. This article is not intended to be an in-depth
explanation of the inner workings of SYSSTAT, nor a detailed manual on
database storage operations.

Community Council: Why I Chose Not To Stand
Recently I had an interesting decision to consider. In an email to the
Community Council, Mark Shuttleworth, the founder of the Ubuntu project
nominated me for a seat on the Community Council, one of our two top-level
governance boards, the other being the Ubuntu Technical Board. I was copied
into an email from Mark last week informing me of his decision.

Howto setup Second IP address or Virtual IP address to your Networkcard in
Ubuntu
If you are a Network Administrator some time you need to assign more than
ONE ip address (second ipaddress) to your network card of Ubuntu machine.
For this you need to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file by adding the
following lines.

Sys Admin or Developer. Why you can be one but not both.
I'm a Sys Admin, a pretty damn good one too if I can be allowed to toot my
horn really load.  I understand code, futz around with PHP, JavaScript, XML,
and recently Java.  I've assisted on debugging C and Perl I'm not a
programmer, and I make a lousy one.

CNET: Gartner: Some Risk, Minimal Savings with Oracle Linux
When Oracle decided to fork Red Hat Enterprise Linux, it did so under the
banner of offering improved support and lower costs for its customers.
Oracle Enterprise Linux has failed to set the world on fire, perhaps in
part, as Gartner highlights in a new research report ("Red Hat vs. Oracle
Linux Support: When and How Does It Matter?"), because its cost and support
advantages appear to be overstated.

  Dear Reader,

In just a few short weeks, we'll be launching two brand new events around a
topic that's inciting a lot of discussion in Washington, Silicon Valley, and
around the world: Government 2.0. Tim O'Reilly has defined the role of
government as: "a convener of things that we as individuals and companies
can't do alone?providing enabling technologies for citizens to serve
themselves."

Gov 2.0 Expo Showcase, happening on September 8 is a one-day, rapid-fire
demonstration of some of the most innovative Web 2.0 technologies destined
to change the way we interact with our elected officials, political
institutions, and our public data. Twenty-five projects will compete in five
different categories, illustrating the amazing breadth of what's possible.

Gov 2.0 Summit follows the Showcase on September 9-10. The event is
chockablock with insightful panels, on-stage conversations, and discussions
of the future of governing from some of the most forward-thinking people in
both the public and private sectors, including federal CTO Aneesh Chopra,
GSA CIO Casey Coleman, Twitter creator Jack Dorsey, NPR's Andrea Seabrook,
Google's chief economist Hal Varian, and many other key influencers.

Read more about these important events below.

OSCON, our annual gathering that is synonymous with summer for many of the
open source tribe, wrapped up its eleventh edition last month. It's an event
that marks the evolution of open technologies and the communities who care
for them. The 2009 event was no exception, and in addition to the many
announcements and updates, there was also strong call to bring more
diversity to the stages and seats of technical conferences like OSCON. We
welcome your thoughts and suggestions for how best to accomplish that worthy
goal. If you'd like to check out presentations, video, and news from OSCON
2009, visit conferences.oreilly.com/oscon<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z7r6mu4cqto3r84tl3mqpfaj47g8n4l7i5p17kr0>

How Tim O'Reilly Aims to Change Government

"Some people go to Washington to try to make the government more honest;
others try to make it smaller," writes Marshall Kirkpatrick for
ReadWriteWeb. "Technologist Tim O'Reilly is spending time in Washington, and
bringing Washington officials to San Francisco, to do something different -
perhaps something more realistic. O'Reilly is trying to help government
become a platform for innovation. A "government as platform" would supply
raw digital data and other forms of support for private sector innovators to
build on top of." Read more about Tim's ideas for transforming
government.<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zrvffggojihqoeqr6vqll6d0m4dtrbu50fo1i7ao>

*CodePlex Foundation Good*
Stephen Walli explained <http://bit.ly/1Q16XV> why he sees value in the
CodePlex Foundation, while Aaron Fulkerson provided
<http://bit.ly/CWMEW>his views as to why Microsoft set up the
Foundation, and he is acting as an
adviser, and Monty Widenius explained <http://bit.ly/5MARW> why he too is
acting as an adviser to the Foundation.

If above links don't work try this URL
http://blogs.the451group.com/opensource/2009/09/15/451-caos-links-20090915/
and you'll get started on all the reports of Microsoft *CodePlex Foundation*

Surely this is the hottest topic since Novell bought SUSE? or MS contracted
with Novell? or MS sold "linux" patents?

Subject: [PSNUG.org News] Looking for some Linux help
Message-ID: <4AB11427.0D8B.00D2.3@wccg.net>

Hi:

I'm helping a customer with some P->V conversation of their servers.

They have a couple of Debian boxes that, after using the VMWare P->V tool, the server takes a kernel panic during boot on the virtual side.

We have narrowed it down to what appears to be a problem in initrd.conf but can't crack it beyond that.

I would appreciate a referral for a real Linux head that can help us get this taken care of.

Customer is in Seattle but we can sure setup a remote access session for the individual to get in a do the fix.

Thanks.

Message-ID: <01CFCC2F-D177-4B43-AA54-517BF7537977@comcast.net>

Good Sunday Morning everyone!
I've been busy lately - working on a migration myself (Zen 7 to Zen  
10, Netware 6.5 to Windows, Groupwise on Netware to either Linux or  
Windows, boss hasn't decided), racing, kids and the elections in  
November. Remember, it's all mail-in ballots now, so vote. Just vote,  
I don't care which party, platform, just make sure you vote. Anyway,  
we have a bit of a treat this month - our scheduled speaker couldn't  
make it so Steve Singhose has volunteered to do something he rarely  
does - present for us! This should be fun, his working title is:  
Lessons learned and tools used to date in a Microsoft AD to Novell  
DSfW - (Directory Services for Windows) migration. Given the migration  
woes everywhere this will be useful, and you can bet I'll be taking  
notes!

So put this Wednesday  . on your calendar - pre meeting food arrives  
shortly after 6, meeting to start at 6:30. We will attempt to keep to  
a schedule and be out by 8:45. See you there!

Happy Blasphemy day!

No, it's probably not what you think. It's all about open discussions  
and questioning assumptions. Together these make up the core of the  
scientific method that ended the Middle Ages. Find out more at:	http://www.facebook.com/pages/Blasphemy-Day-International/143655943748
