Subject: Surge Lab Linux "Technology Preview" now available

Hi all,

Just wanted to let you know that last night we posted a "Technology
Preview" of Surge Lab running on Linux on the web site
(http://www.curl.com/html/products/linux_main.jsp).

Its really a very early version -- things not working include 3d
Rendering, Animation, Audio and Scenes.  Also, problems with fonts for
things like header levels, and lots of other stuff!  But, its good
enough to post and to see if we can get some help testing with people
pounding on it.

Initially, we are limiting downloads to the first 100 who "sign up" --
if we get a big demand for it, and people think its useful even in
this state, we will open it up to more testers.

No date yet on a production version - that will depend on demand and
on how the testing goes.  We've added a Linux board in the Discussion
Forums at http://www.curl.com, or talk about it on the curl developer
community email list (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/curlbreaker-l), or
as always, feel free to contact us directly at support@curl.com.

Cheers,
Brent

Subject: Guikachu 0.99.2 "Release Candidate 1": GNOME Resource editor for
Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2001 06:56:22 CST


"Winter's just begun.
 Resource editor for Palms
 nears its first release."


Dear users of both large and small computing tools,

A new release of Guikachu is available.

About Guikachu
==============
Guikachu is a GNOME application for graphical editing of resource
files for PalmOS-based pocket computers. The user interface is
modelled after Glade, the GNOME UI builder.

Catch it all from http://cactus.rulez.org/projects/guikachu/

Features
========
 * libXML-based I/O
 * Exporting to PilRC .rcp files (compile with pilrc -H)
 * String resources
 * Dialog resources
 * Menu resources
 * Form resources
 * Per-application resources (e.g. version number)
 * WYSIWYG Form Editor, with drag & drop capability
 * XSLT style sheets and shell script to generate RCP files from
   Guikachu documents
 * Sample file with sample GNU PalmOS SDK-based application
 * Documentation (a complete user's manual)

About this release
==================
This release contains basically no code changes from previous
releases. The updates are only in the documentation (which is
completed) and the sample app.

Unless bugs are reported over the next week, this is going to be
Guikachu 1.0.

Guikachu uses GTK-- and GNOME-- for its user interface. File I/O is
implemented via the libxml package. Dialog windows are loaded via
libglade. You will need the versions of these packages available in
the GNOME 1.4 bundle (with the exception of GNOME-- which you will
need to upgrade to version 1.2.0)
To actually create the PalmOS resource files, you will also need PilRC
(part of the GNU PalmOS SDK) to compile the .rpc files produced by
Guikachu.
To use the stand-alone Guikachu-to-RCP converter program, xsltproc
(part of the libxslt package) is required.


Beware of bugémons!

        Cactus

Subject: Mailfilter 0.3.1 available
Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2001 06:56:39 CST

This is to inform you about a new development release (0.3.1) of
Mailfilter, available at the usual location:

                  http://mailfilter.sourceforge.net/
   

WHAT IS IT?
===========
Mailfilter is a flexible utility for Unix (-like) operating systems to
get rid of unwanted spam mails, before having to go through the trouble
of downloading them into the local computer. It offers support for one or
many POP3 accounts and is especially useful for dialup connections via
modem, ISDN, etc.

Mailfilter connects to any POP3 mail box and compares part of its content
to a set of user defined filter rules. That way the spam gets deleted
directly on the mail server.

With Mailfilter you can define your own filters (rules) to determine
which e-mails should be delivered and which are considered waste. Rules
are regular expressions, so you can make use of familiar options from
other mail delivery programs such as e.g. procmail.

Mailfilter is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
For more information, see the README and COPYING documents provided with
the Mailfilter program.

NEWS:
=====
- Improved rcfile parsing and added support for multi-case keywords
  and the like
  
  (If you run into problems compiling the program, please look into
   doc/FAQ, as a couple of Linux distributors use(d) a broken version
   of flex!)

- Spanish translation (courtesy Carlos Valdivia Yagüe)

- Updated and corrected the program's FAQ (e. g. thanks to Brian
  Hall we have now an example shell script that shows how Mailfilter
  can be tunneled via ssh)

- Bug fix: Mailfilter now displays the correct filter and subject
  string of a mail if a (normalised) filter matched

- Bug fix: mails that contain subject strings with only a white
  space character, are now handled correctly

- Added time out signal handler for network connection code

- Added signal handler to catch SIGINT, i.e. ctrl-c

On the Mailfilter homepage you'll find the usual packages: gzipped
source, RPM, Source RPM, Debian, MS-Windows, Mac OS X and Slackware.

Enjoy and send in your feedback,
Andreas.

Subject: NEWS: India's Silicon Valley gets ready for ambitious Linux event
Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2001 06:57:13 CST

INDIA'S SILICON VALLEY GETS READY FOR AN AMBITIOUS GNU/LINUX EVENT

By Frederick Noronha
fred at bytesforall dot org

IT'S BEING billed as one of the most ambitious GNU/Linux event of its kind,
and it's being staged in Bangalore, the South Indian city considered the
'Silicon Valley' of this country. Volunteer-organisers of the 'Linux
Bangalore/2001 are already confidently promising that the three-day
conference will cover a very wide canvas on understanding and using Linux.

To be held from December 10 to 12, 2001, this event is being built into an
'applied technology' conference. It is intended for open source and
free-software developers, administrators, and users. And IT decision makers.

Mahendra M., currently the coordinator of the Bangalore Linux Users' Group
(BLUG) calls this major event one "for the Linux community, by the Linux
community". Recent years have seen a spurt in interest in free software and
open source usage in India, a country which is sometimes considered a
software power-house, but where the lack of affordable Internet access till
the late 'nineties has delayed the expected surge of interest in Linux.

Signs are now coming in, though, that a significant segment of a generation
of college students and programmers in various parts of India are getting
fascinated by this new way of working on software. It is expected that in a
few years time, countries like India could contribute significantly to the
global grassroots drive to build up the 'free' software world.

Said Mahendra, a young engineer: "Linux Bangalore/2001 is a three day
conference on understanding and using Linux technologies. This conference
aims to cover a large number of areas that include core Linux technologies,
Open Source, Embedded Systems and other allied technologies. We are planning
to give 72 talks over a period of three days."

This conference aims to cover a large number of areas that include core
Linux technologies, Open Source, Embedded Systems and other allied
technologies. 

Its primary audience will be the core (or potential) Linux-using community
of developers (who are being appropriately categorized, for this techie
meet, as /dev), system administrators (/adm), users (/usr) and
CxO/managers/decision makers (/cxo).

"Each track will include introductory, technical, how-to and tutorial
sessions, catering to 'newbies' (people new to Linux) to 'gurus' (people who
know Linux in and out)," explained Mahendra.

To make this event accessible to many, entrance is free. This is significant
in a Third World country where the cost factor still looms large, and when
people talk about GNU/Linux being a 'free' operating system, the cost aspect
could be as important as the freedom aspect, for many.

Said the organisers, commenting about what they called the 'entry f(r)ee'
status of the event: "We have decided to make entry free for all. We feel
that it is the present student community that is going to drive the
phenomenal growth of Linux (in India) in the days to come and it would be
doing injustice if they find the event costs prohibitive. At the same time,
we see no need to make employees run to their managers to get budget
approval just so that they can attend this event. As long as you can get an
approval for $ 0 /Rs 0 from your company, you can attend!"

Over one thousand persons registered for the event by end-November,
according to Indian Linux guru Atul Chitnis. This Bangalore-based software
whizz's efforts at promoting Linux through popular Indian computing
magazines like PC-QUEST, in the past, have taken this OS to varied nook and
crannies of this vast country of 1000 million.

"New technologies and their implementation/application under Linux will be
discussed as well, making this a technology conference to remember. In
addition to this, we also intend to provide assistance to new users and more
information to technology enthusiasts," promised the organisers.

During the event, there will be multiple tracks and with six sessions every
day from 10 am to 5 pm, plus Birds-of-Feather (BoF) sessions at the end of
the day. There will be an estimated 70-72 talks. 

In addition, also planned are separate workshops, tutorials, case studies
and demonstrations. Speakers for this event will be drawn from the Indian
Linux community, as well as the IT industry. 

This event is being held at the impressive J.N.Tata Auditorium at the
Bangalore-based Indian Institute of Science (IISc). Incidentally, a team at
the IISc itself is inching its way towards completing what it calls the
'Simputer'. This simple and inexpensive sub-$200 (Rs 9000) computing device
that is expected to make computing affordable to the commonman (and woman).
Not coincidentally perhaps, the Simputer is to work on GNU/Linux.

Exploiting the Net technologies to the optimum, the organisers sought
volunteers to offer talks. This drew in dozens of enthusiastic specialists,
giving a clue of the vast spread and understanding GNU/Linux has gained
across India since the late 'nineties... and in some cases, a little earlier.

Talks range from connecting to the Internet, to setting up an "optimal"
Linux server, and adding a scripting language to your toolkit.

Remote booting disk-less machines, 'bug-safe' Linux, IDS and Forensic
Analysis, IPv6 deployment and usage, 'thin clients', Lotus Domino on Linux,
Linux Intrusion Detection System (LIDS), deploying ATMs on Linux, anti-spam
tools, GRID computing, low-cost ISP (Internet Service Provider) setups, and
bandwidth management using Linux are among the other subjects to be covered.

On the developer track, speakers will explain GNOME development tools and
BONOBO, the Linux kernel itself, Linux device drivers, porting and embedding
Linux, PHP programming, data-driven websites, licenses, Linux databases,
clustering concepts in Linux and a range of other topics.

Some of the names of those tackling these subjects are familiar through the
well-knit Linux networks and communities that exist in cyberspace. Recent
attempts to unearth Indian programming contributions to Linux have shown
that the once-small effort is now fast growing, more than is generally
understood or acknowledged. 

IT managers and decision-makers could also tune in to topics such as Linux
for ISO 9000:2000 Implementations, Linux in the enterprise, Linux in Indian
space science research, Linux as the 'dream OS', and experiments learnt from
the KDE experiment.

Linux users will not be left out either. They can choose from learning more
on Linux on the 'corporate desktop', multimedia under Linux, or 3D images
and animations. 

One area of interest to many would be Linux's potential in VoIP
(voice-over-Internet protocol, or Net telephony). For long banned by the
Indian government, VoIP is expected to be legalised sometime after March 2002.

What is also vitally important to the future of computing in India is the
attempt to offer Indian-language Linux versions, that could be accessible to
the millions who don't understand English.

During the event, Frank Pohlmann is scheduled to speak on the Linux
Documentation Project and Indian languages. other speakers will also present
studies on Indian language computing on Linux and related subjects.

This event is managed by young volunteers of BLUG, the Bangalore Linux
Users' Group. Including Mahendra M (BLUG Coordinator), Jessica Prabhakar, 
Biju Chacko, Syed Khader Vali, Kingsly John, U.K.Jaiswal Manager Support, 
Kalyan Varma Alluri, Vineeth S, Madhu M. Kurup. 

Advisors to this ambitious plan are long-time GNU/Linux gurus Gopi Garge ˇ
and Atul Chitnis You can reach the team by email: lb2001 at linux-bangalore
dot org. 

Hewlett Packard (India Software Operations) has wholly sponsored Linux
Bangalore/2001, amidst some early fears that the recession and the September
11 attacks in the US might make the task of finding sponsorship impossible.

Updates are at http://linux-bangalore.org/2001  

In addition, there is also a mailing-list set up to discuss plans for the
event. If you wish to discuss about the event, send a blank email to
