Reply-To: Hugh.Blemings@vsb.com.au
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
gnokii is a Linux/Unix tool suite and (eventually) modem/fax driver for
Nokia (GSM) mobile phones. This release provides enhanced support for the
3110, 3810, 8110, 5110 and 6110 models and their derivatives.
We now have a rudimentary AT-emulator operating through /dev/gnokii
(allows SMS message handling etc.), a small x client and more functionality
for the 6110 series.
Development is continuing for both model ranges as well as toward
providing complete fax and data call capabilities.

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
The Bazaar
An EarthWeb Event
December 14, 15, and 16, 1999
Jacob K. Javitz Center, New York, NY
The Bazaar is the foremost interactive educational event in support of the
free and open source software movement. This movement, founded and
supported through a massive global development community, embodies two major
segments of the software industry committed to solving complex computing
problems for users, notably in the area of enterprise and internet-based
development:
1) The Free and Open Source Community - this community is composed of the
visionaries, risk takers, designers, coders, and maintainers of the growing
number of foundation technologies available today as free and open source
software.
2) Product and Service Companies - leadership software, hardware and
service enterprises motivated by the passion and excellence of the community
and driven by the promise of the resultant technologies. Product companies
embrace the foundation projects and build upon them. They also insure that
popular layered application, tools, middleware, languages, and more can live
with, and enhance, the open source accomplishments.
The Bazaar is the only conference to provide a separate but equal voice to
both parties for the benefit of the end user. The Bazaar not only provides
an environment for the visionaries of Open Source to meet and discuss
current and future advancements in the community but also provides the only
hands-on and workshop oriented instruction for users taught by leading
product and education companies in the industry.
SUBMISSIONS:
The Bazaar is accepting submissions from these two major contributing areas:
1) The Community and Projects
2) Product Implementations and Case Studies
Community and Projects:
The Bazaar welcomes submissions that support any and all projects relevant
to the Open Source movement. A submission can take the following forms:
* Project status and live demonstration.
* Practice reports highlighting personal experiences with the use of
particular project in a controlled environment.
* Experience reports highlighting multi-user/team efforts, cross platform or
interoperability exercises, enterprise or mission critical system
development and collaborative efforts between projects.
* Advanced technology briefings defining development efforts 12-24 months
out.
Each submission will be evaluated for technical excellence and community
and/or industry relevance.
Product Implementations and Case Studies:
Many Fortune 500 companies are purchasing or considering implementations of
Linux, Apache, and other Open Source projects. Traditional buying habits
dictate a requirement of solid support from the vendor community to insure
rapid acceptance of the technologies and approaches. In turn, vendors are
dependent on advances provided by the open source development efforts to
serve as a baseline for many of their own products. Vendors who can
illustrate a commitment to the community by:
* Selling or servicing a distribution.
* Providing education on any open source technology or variant.
* Having ported enterprise, application, or development products to Linux.
* Providing services or tools in support of Apache.
* Developing their own open source or free software project.
* Promoting or using other open source projects within a product suite.
are eligible to present at The Bazaar. A select number of vendors will be
given the opportunity to deliver hands-on sessions or interactive
architectural workshops that highlight their product, service or educational
efforts. A limited number of 300 desktop Linux systems will be made
available to teach development methodologies, products or product suites.
Submissions may take the following form:
* Tutorials
* Case Studies (technical content required)
* Workshops (limited classroom size, interactive, with pre-registration
required)
* Hands-on Instruction (limited classroom size, interactive, with
pre-registration required)
* Product Status
Submissions will be evaluated for:
* Technical and educational merit
* Relevancy to the market place and industry
* Support of the community
SUBMISSION PROCESS:
Authors are requested to submit complete papers and abstracts by September
17, 1999. All submissions must be in electronic form, in PostScript or PDF,
Word or HTML. Please include the following information:
NAME:
TITLE:
COMPANY OR AFFILIATION:
VENDOR OR PROJECT (select one):
PHONE:
EMAIL:
FAX:
* SUBMISSION TITLE:
* AREA OF SPECIALITY (e.g. Security):
* TARGET AUDIENCE (technical or management):
* FORM OF PRESENATION (ie Experience report, tutorial, etc):
* PROPOSED LENGTH OF TALK, WORKSHOP, OR HANDS-ON SESSION: SOFTWARE/HARDWARE
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR HANDS-ON:
* DESCRIPTION (500 words or less):
If you are proposing a hands-on sessions please specify whether you are
requesting a 3 or 5 hour slot. Shorter sessions will not be considered. If
a topic warrants more than 5 hours of hands-on please specify as it may
qualify for a special boot camp.
Please submit all entries to papers@thebazaar.org. Authors will be notified
of receipt of submission via e-mail. If you do not receive notification,
contact: lbennett@one.net. For more information or instruction on how to

Subject: ftpd-BSD-0.2.1 - Linux port of OpenBSD's ftpd
Date: Thu, 26 Aug 1999 23:16:34 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
ftpd-BSD-0.2.1.tar.gz (second release)
This is a Linux port of the ftp server (ftpd) found in OpenBSD 2.5
(the version number of the OpenBSD version is 6.4 and the version
number of this port is 0.2.1 - second public release of it).
This server is not as featureful as wu-ftpd but it has the advantage
of being smaller and (presumably) safer. As there have been some
possible security issues with wu-ftpd recently, this is one possible
alternative.
The port (i.e. my work) consisted of providing an ugly replacement for
some BSD-specific functions, and adapting the authentication mechanism
to use Linux PAM.
New in version 0.2.0 of the port is on-the-fly uncompression of
gzipped files.
The tarball should be available on sunsite sometime soon (in the
systems/daemons directory). You can also find it at the following
places:
ftp://quatramaran.ens.fr/pub/madore/ftpd-BSD/ftpd-BSD-0.2.1.tar.gz
http://www.eleves.ens.fr:8080/home/madore/programs/ftpd-BSD-0.2.1.tar.gz
I have retained the original BSD copyright. To make things clear, all
praise should go to the OpenBSD people, and all blame (for example if
I broke something while porting the stuff) to myself.
The md5 checksums of the files mentioned in this announce are:
ef2c17d5b8a6e44ab004844222ae07e0 ftpd-BSD-0.2.0.tar.gz
635fd49de6a6be10fca005605c0d31ec ftpd-BSD-0.2.1.tar.gz
In addition, the sha1 digest of ftpd-BSD-0.2.1.tar.gz is:
