Release of GNOWSYS Version 0.4
by Nagarjuna G. 02 Jul '03

02 Jul '03

Release notes for GNOWSYS version 0.4. GNOWSYS: Gnowledge Networking and Organizing System. Useful for knowledge/content management, semantic web, building ontologies, building portal sites, link management etc. Learn more about it from http://www.gnowledge.org. In this version of GNOWSYS we have added a number of new modules. The core GNOWSYS engine of the earlier releases has been improved with better catalogue support. 1. Changes to GNOWSYS Core Semantic Engine: Amongst the main improvements to the core engine over GNOWSYS version 0.3 is that now the catalog support has been improved. All the Object Types, Objects, Association Types, and Associations entries are catalogued. Facet Types and Occurrence Types are yet to be fully supported by Catalog. This feature can be effectively used for large gnowledge bases, since ZOPE catalog increases the response time. In future releases Facet Types and Occurrence Types will also be catalogued. In GNOWSYS 0.4 the User Interface has also been changed. Amongst improvements to user interface. The layout of the index_html for an Object and an Object Types has been changed. We tried to get all the metadata of the objects visible. This may make the system a little slow, but useful for the users to know how to query for the most useful metadata of the objects. Users can modify all of this since we copy the entire template as dtml files in the instance. In association types now we have new associaton type called as rigid associations. By rigid association we mean: when an object is installed as an instance of an object type, which is defined as a role in a rigid association type, then the association will be automatically made. This works more like an RDBMS relation between two tables. Apart from these changes there are numerous other small changes and bug fixes. 2. New modules in GNOWSYS. In this release a number of new modules have been added, they are as follows. 1. Functional Representation (Execute) 2. Graphical Representation (Draw Maps) 3. Import Export (XML Data Exchange, TopicMaps (XTM)) 4. Publishing Module (Publish) Modules 2 and 4 may not work in non-UNIX operating systems without lot of tweaking. Most of this is due to the use of external programs like TeX and MetaPost. In future we will make this truly interoperable. 3. In future we will have: - authentication module (multi-user, role based with integration with the ObjectType Members), - work-flow (keeping track of objects and status), - RDF and OIL support for data exchange to make it ready for semantic web community. - XUL GUI for editing GNOWSYS sites effortlessly from Mozilla/Netscape and using a GTK/QT client. - UTF-8 support - skins or at least a style sheet - optimizing for speed - and improving all the above and continueing to fix bugs. Examples illustrating the use of GNOWSYS will be made and linked from the project website: http://www.gnowledge.org Happy gnowing!

FREE SOFTWARE... TO THE WORLD FORUM: From distant Argentia, Diego Saravia <dsa(a)unsa.edu.ar> of the Hipatia network is keen to do something that would take Free Software to the World Social Forum, that is being organised in Mumbai in January 2004. Says he: "Perhaps we could setup an email list to work on the free software issue for the 4fsm/India. I could invite people involved in previous (World Social Fora) and the Free Software Forum-India could invite Indian enthusiasts." See www.hipatia.info or via email info(a)hipatia.info or visit the list http://listas.hipatia.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/coordinadores-hipatia DESILINUX.COM: "ttyl - Jonnas" recently announced the new *desilinux.com* bulletin-board.

Any takers? FREEBSD OPTIONS: FreeBSD enthusiast and developer from Bangalore Joseph Koshy < a_joseph_koshy(a)yahoo.co.in> says, in response to a query from one youngster: "We don't have a central body that directs FreeBSD. It is more like a collection of peers, the only criteria for admission is (proven) competence on FreeBSD. There are a number of mailing lists that carry FreeBSD related technical traffic. Do check www.freebsd.org for more information. For example, press, publicity and the like are discussed on freebsd-advocacy. There is no 'certification' on FreeBSD that I'm aware of." Koshy is also the self-described "founder-manager-programmer-peon" of the Indic-Computing Project (http://indic-computing.sf.net) NOT FLOSS, BUT BASED ON IT: The South Asia IT list run by Irfan Khan from nearby Pakistan is an interesting source of news on how IT can help this sub-continent get a better life for its millions. It's not directly focussed on FLOSS, but runs on a Free Software platform (Mailman). See the s-asia-it mailing list at http://mailman.apnic.net/mailman/listinfo/s-asia-it ......................................................................... . . FIRST PERSON... TEMPTING SOLUTION? Prof G. R. Bhat <grbhat(a)exocore.com> . formerly of the Goa University, describes his experience with Reliance, a . big player in the Indian mobile world. This comes in via the ILUG-Goa . mailing list http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ilug-goa : . . Hi, I was at the Reliance web world last night with my notebook just to . check whether the rconnect service works as advertised at least for Linux. . We reached there just as they were about to close for the day (8.30 pm), . but the person there was gracious enough to let us in and allowed us to . outstay our welcome for whopping hour and a half after closing time while . we put the service through a "linux compatibility" test. . . The staff there was unaware of Linux but again thats OK. They were sales . and marketing, not technical and hence forgiven ;). The Binary ran fine on . Redhat 9 (my notebook) - it asked me what device I was using (USB or . Serial). I said USB, so it went and made /dev/rmodem a soft link to . /dev/usb (strange!) and then proceeded to change /etc/ppp/options, . /etc/ppp/ip-up.local and /etc/ppp/ip-down.local without any warning (and . without backing up my versions). The README clearly said that my files . would be backed up with a .old extension. My ip-up/down files are pretty . much standard so no problem there. But this could be a major problem for . those who do a lot of magic in their up/down scripts . Back Up!. . . After all this - when I ran the prescribed "rconnect" it did not work. . . That's when I checked the stuff that was going on under the pretty . interface. I doubt if it installed any driver on my notebook. Once I . figured that all they were using was a dialout (the ususal pppd + chat) . script coupled with some changes to files in /etc/ppp, and making a blind . softlink with whatever device was entered in the installer form, I decided . to try my luck myself rather than use the install program, . . I got the Samsung handset to dial out using the standard USB ACM Modem . drivers that come with RH9 (modprobe ub-uhci; modprobe acm), changed the . /dev/rmodem to point to /dev/input/ttyACM0 (my /var/log/messages told me . that the stock RedHat9 USB ACM driver had attached itself to this device) . and ran the script that came with rconnect. . . It works! . . I got an IP assigned to me and my /etc/resolv.conf was set correctly to . point to the Reliance DNS server (I had usepeerdns in /etc/ppp/options) . and I happily pointed my browser to www.gnu.org :). The service was great . (no one in the shop hassled us to leave inspite of the fact that it was . well past closing time, In fact they watched with a lot of interest and . gave me free run of the place), but the bandwidth was much lower than what . I expected - about 1.7K/s consistently from 9 pm to 9.45 pm on the night . of 25 June. Did I buy it? Well I didn't yesterday on account of the rather . poor bandwidth that I got, but I will be definitely waiting and watching . the throughput on my friends handsets with a lot of interest. . . A mobile IP gateway that I can carry around is too good to resist :) . ........................................................................ THE WORK IS ON: G Karunkar <karunakar(a)freedomink.org> reports in a different context that you can find some resources and links to groups working on different Indian languages at http://www.indlinux.org. Says he: "We are also working on a bootable CD with Indic support (right now based on Morphix). The Indic components come as a seperate release (see http://www.indlinux.org/downloads/ ), which can be installed on any distro (with a bit of tweaking though). There will be another release next week which will work on RH 8/9, MDK 9.x and Debian unstable (with Gnome 2.2)." Karunakar, a low-profile and hard-working campaigner on the Indic computing front, adds that since much of their current work is based on Gnome 2, you need to have that if you wish to use the IndLinux-Hindi release. Adds he: "The stuff is all bare bones, not good for any production use. That'ss still few months away -- till we have KDE, Gnome, Openoffice, Mozilla etc all supporting Indic at all levels." LINKING YOUNG TECHIES, MENTORS: Project Resource Centre is a mailing list and network that puts students and young techies in touch with potential mentors. It also gives them a chance to discuss their ideas and get feedback. More details from http://mail.sarai.net/mailman/listinfo/prc GOING FAR MORE DEEPER: Comments Mahesh T Pai, LL.M. of Kochi (http://in.geocities.com/paivakil): "The approach by the guys at indlinux.org takes language far more 'deeper' into the OS than (attempts by proprietorial software). Language enabling is much more than mere translation of help files, enabling fonts, and input methods. The KBIPS is directly involved with Free Software Foundation-India (at least, that is what I understand, about the FSF-India's involvement) for enabling Malayalam on GNU/Linux systems." Mahesh, a close and perceptive watcher of the Free Software scene in India, can be contacted via paivakil(a)vsnl.net Says he: "I believe that the Indlinux team has spent far less during its entire existence that what (proprietorial software major players have) spent on a single foreign jaunt for its team leader/s. Not that I grudge the individuals' benefits; but I cannot help reacting when the government subsidises efforts, fruits will be controlled by private corporates while giving a cold shoulder to efforts which would be under public control." CALLING VOLUNTEERS: Linux-india.org website is expected to get an overhaul, with volunteers coming forward to support the work of webmaster Raj Mathur. If you'd like to volunteer too, contact Raj Mathur raju(a)kandalaya.org http://kandalaya.org/ ADAPTING LINUX TO INDIA: Venky <venky(a)indlinux.org>, a persistent lobbyist on this front, said in a public discussion: "One issue that is important in terms of adapting ICT to Indian needs is that the technology should speak the user's language. At IndLinux (www.indlinux.org) we have been working on adapting the Linux operating system to Indian languages and have done a significant amount of work in Hindi. We would like to get an active group going in Punjabi too so that Punjabi-literate individuals too can benefit from using computers. Can you please help us get volunteers who can translate computer terms like "files", "folders" etc to Punjabi?" 'PIRACY'... AS A FAKE CONCEPT: "The concept of piracy being propagated by multinational companies is fake and do not hold water in the perspective of our social commitment. I feel we have to launch resistance and fight against it," said Manabendra Mukherjee, West Bengal's minister for information technology and environment department, while delivering a lecture at a seminar on `Linux initiative in e-Governance applications'. See http://www.business-standard.com/today/story.asp?Menu=23&story=17114 INDIANIZATION, INTERNATIONALIZATION: Jaco Aizenman <jaizenman(a)fsc.cc> of the Free Software Consortium is looking out for Indian supporters to help with the internationalization of their "Government Distro". This Free Software package is being launched in July 2003, by this global organisation "dedicated to the promotion and commercialisation of Free Software" The Government Distro is a compilation of programs widely used by the public sector in Brazil, Argentina and Spain. It contains the GNU/Linux Operating System, an Office-like suite called Open Office, email and instant messenger, a calendar, a database, a web browser application and many other programs. Say its promoters: "All these applications have been used and tested previously in dozens of Latin American and European users, in order to certify their functionality. They have all been designed by highly talented programmers from all around the world." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOUR INPUTS and criticism to this newsletter are welcome.

VNC at 1024x768 resolution??
by Subba Rao 01 Jul '03

01 Jul '03

Hello I am accessing a Linux system via the VNC server. The VNC client is running on Win2K. After the connection is established, the VNC client window opens up as a 800x600 window. The XF86Config is using the resolution at 1024x768. Some of the items from the Linux system are going beyond the VNC client boundry. When I try to maximize the window, the display is still at 800x600 with broad dark strips around the window. The display resolution on Win2K is greater than the 1024x768 resolution. How can I increase my VNC Client to show the Linux system at 1024x768 resolution? Thank you in advance. -- Subba Rao subba9(a)cablespeed.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Old American Wild West saying: God created men but Colt made them equal.

A leading information services company plan to shift its entire Windows backend infrastructure to Linux. They are looking for companies which can help them migrate successfully as well as provide them with good support. They are a 24 hours operation so support infrastructure must be in place. There should be zero down time in the migration and it has to be a scalable architecture. If anyone is interested in taking this up, write to me directly (not on the list) at prakash at netcore.co.in. Here is their current infrastructure. - Windows 2000. - SQL Server - ASP/VB Scripts. - 10-15 records queried every second. - 8 GB of data. Windows cannot handle the kind of load :-) so they are looking at migrating to Linux, PostgreSQL/MySQL,PHP/JSP, etc. They are open to suggestions.

I know of packet marking in iptables. But could anyone enlighten me which field of an ip packet does the netfilter, mark ?? Is it related with the marking scheme in QoS ?? i could find no doc stating exactly which field of a packet is marked. I tried netfilter.org, google to no avail. i felt tcpdump is a roughshod way to figure it out so decided to ask. thanks, C Get Your Private, Free E-mail from Indiatimes at http://email.indiatimes.com Buy The Best In BOOKS at http://www.bestsellers.indiatimes.com Bid for for Air Tickets @ Re.1 on Air Sahara Flights.

Of Intel, AMD, Apple and IBM
by Amol Hatwar 26 Jun '03

26 Jun '03

Hi, I wonder if anyone has been noticing this lately... Apple recently announced the new G5 as the fastest PC in the industry. AMD has done some Intel creaming too. But very few know what's common between them. It's IBM. PowerPC chips that run on Macs are developed at IBM. How's AMD connected then? AMD's design team runs from an IBM chip design facility. Seems that IBM will help AMD and Apple develop the newer 64 bit platforms. Ahem... the new G5 is 64 bit (P4 is 32 bit). First, maybe AMD wants to sell itself. Second, maybe IBM wants to make sure that Intel has some competition. Whatever may be the going-ons but I think IBM is trying to do something major here... Any insights anyone? Regards, ah

emails on the list
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 25 Jun '03

25 Jun '03

Hi all, It would be nice if people took the following steps when writing to the list: 1. Do not top-post. When you quote an earlier message, be sure to quote _only_ the relevant parts, and write your reply _below_ the quoted matter. Please do not just start your reply on top of a quoted message - such messages go on increasing size so that the actual information content goes down with every reply. 2. Use the standard lead-in "> " (greater-than and a space" to mark quoted text. Most email clients are designed to recognise this character sequence, making the messages more readable. 3. When someone posts simple questions like "permission denied, what do I do?" or "how do I uninstall foobar rpm?" I think its better if list members provide pointers to newbie documentation instead of spoon-feeding the answers. Sameer.

FocusLost event in Qt
by Aseem Rane 24 Jun '03

24 Jun '03

Hello all, I want to capture focusLost event on some of the Qt widgets. I want to update some other widgets depending on this event. I know that I can override virtual method focusOutEvent, but doing so for most of the widgets I use is something I dont like. Is this the only way or am I missing something here?? Regards Aseem -- Aseem Rane Sr. Software Engineer, L&T Infotech Ltd. Powai.
