Why not a social networking site?..
by Pushparajan V 11 Jan '07

11 Jan '07

Hi friends, When i first learnt about how open source development took place, i found that development model more amazing and wonderful. Opensource projects collaborated using Mailing lists, Forums, Wiki, IRCs, Version control and more.. All thru the web without any physical contact. And the important concept i consider behind an open source development is not the code that comes out.. Its the integraty and social equity between the people. (but not the intention of open source however). In todays world, many open source projects go dead because of many reasons. The main reason may be because of less collaboration or developers fail to hand over to the upcoming interested peoples. Why open source projects fail at collaboration and syncronization in the evolving Internet 2.0 web?.. I consider the main problem is in the collaboration mechanism used. Current way of collaboration within open source projects is good. But it should be made better. The hottest buzz word in the internet world is Web 2.0. In that the most talked is the community based sites. Nowadays, in news i can see many social networking sites created for specific purpose. For music sharing, news sharing, photos sharing, technology sharing, etc. Why not a social networking site specific to open source code sharing and for open source people connections?.. I searched thru internet to get one good social networking site to integrate with the open source developers world wide. But i failed. Is there a social networking site exist particularly for open source developers ??? .. It would be fun if such a social networking site is there.. ;) The first problem a programmer gets while entering into open source world is the collaboration. They get help through the LUGs however. But, what about the collaboration in a global perspective ? If there is no such social networking site (for sharing interests, code, features needed etc) for the open source world at present, why not a social networking site be created?.. (is there any plans of such like?) Dont make this a flame war please :).. If you find some ignorant quotes somewhere, please correct me.. Waiting for ur hot suggestions.. Thanks & Regards, Pushparajan V http://www.vprajan.org - - - - - - - - if(others(love)>=life) { noends=true; lifetime=others(love).length(); } - - - - - - - -

ways to get a working Linux server in to an installable CD set for future reinstall?
by Koustubha Kale 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

Hi, I have a Linux server working very well. It consists of a lot of software like qmail and stuff which I downloaded and compiled. And also a lot of configurations, users etc. during reinstall if I just use the distro ( CentOS in this case) I would spend a lot of time again to get the server in the same working order. I would like to sort of image it so I can reinstall it painlessly if it crashes. Or I can install it on some other server so as to replicate the setup. What are the best ways to do this? (Apart from using commercial Imaging or Disaster Recovery software.) With warm regards Koustubha Kale __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
