---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Holmes Wilson <campaigns(a)fsf.org> Date: Thu, Oct 22, 2009 at 1:20 AM Subject: [FSF] Why is free software important to you? Submit your response to our new video campaign! To: info-fsf(a)gnu.org, info-member(a)gnu.org The FSF is launching a new advocacy campaign, and we'd love to have you involved. One of the most important tasks for us at FSF is to help foster the understanding that free software is crucial to a free society, and that citizens should switch to free software at home and in their own work, for freedom's sake. But in many ways, most of this work has always been done by the millions of free software users around the world, telling others why they care about free software and what they use it for. So, why not make all that energy, specificity, and persuasion part of our message to the world on FSF.org? And what better way to do it than with videos from free software supporters, published using free formats and an exciting new free standard for online video? In 2-5 minutes, using a camcorder, digital camera, or webcam, you can create a video about why you or a friend love free software. Then submit your video and invite friends to do the same! Submission guidelines: * <http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/video_testimonial_guidelines/> At the Women in Free Software Summit and the Boston celebration of Software Freedom Day 2009, FSF volunteer Dana Moser roved the event asking participants the following questions, and making videos of the responses: * "What do you do with free software?" * "Why do you like free software?" * "Why is software freedom important to you?" Blog post with Dana's videos: * <http://www.fsf.org/news/video_testimonials_campaign/> Direct links to the video files: * <http://static.fsf.org/nosvn/what_like_sm.ogv> * <http://static.fsf.org/nosvn/important_sm.ogv> More about Dana: * <http://curiousart.org/resume.html> We look forward to watching your contributions!

Knoppix... at six
by Frederick Noronha [फ़रेदरिक नोरो नया] فريدريك نورونيا 21 Oct '09

21 Oct '09

SEE VIDEO HERE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovA3haaDmO4 Knoppix, or KNOPPIX (pronounced /kəˈnɒpɪks/, kə-NOP-iks[2]), is an operating system based on Debian designed to be run directly from a CD / DVD, one of the first of its kind for any operating system. Knoppix was developed by GNU/Linux consultant Klaus Knopper. When starting a program it is loaded from the optical disc and decompressed into a RAM drive. The decompression is transparent and on-the-fly. Although Knoppix is primarily designed to be used as a Live CD, it can also be installed on a hard disk like a typical operating system. Computers that support booting from USB devices can load Knoppix from a live USB flash drive or memory card. Animesh Nerurkar of Goa, India demos Knoppix 6 from his home at Miramar. Oct 20, 2009.

(for eg there are arguments that individual versions of Unix have features that are not found on Linux) (ii)Is the support mechanism well established? (iii) is the support price much lesser than the licensing + support price from vendors selling proprietary software? *2. Finding talent* skilled at open source market – is this still a challenge in India? Do you think that the certifications programs (for testing technical skills related to open source technologies) have sufficiently matured? 3. What happens when technology platforms vary across departments and the diverse platforms don’t talk to each other (for eg. one department uses open source, another uses proprietary) *Is this a problem with many organizations and if so, how is it being resolved*? 4. Do you find the open source v/s proprietary debate a meaningful one or one lacking relevance? (In the wake of the fact that there are an increasing number of alliances between vendors selling proprietary technology and those providing services for open source applications)?

Also, it would be nice if you could post it on the GLUG-Bombay forum...I will be happy to interact with members who want to share their views. I would like to interact with you also. I suppose you must have experimented or have been witness to experiments on FOSS in your institution. I would like to know about your experience. Would be grateful if you could spare some time.

Warm regards Aditya <disclaimer snipped> As outlined in the email above, Mr. Aditya Kelekar from the Indian Express would like to find out about the usage of FOSS in enterprises.

squid failover using RHCS
by Advait Raut 18 Oct '09

18 Oct '09

Hi guys, I have configured squid server on two nodes. my requirement is to have a squid failover using RHCS. RHCS is also configured with a virtual ip monitoring both the servers. virtual ip :- 192.168.1.100 Now the issue is that my virtual ip is configured on all browsers with port 8080 for proxy purpose. ie:192.168.1.100:8080 now the request coming from browsers with virtual ip and port number 8080 are properly directed to a active server but the request going out from the active squid server doesn't takes virtual ip it takes its on eth0 ip ie:192.168.1.1 of Active server and hits firewall due to which firewall blocks the ip and hence no page is displayed. so what i have did was i have configured iptables postrouting which nats all the outgoing request from eth0 to virtual ip. #iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.1 -o eth0 -j SNAT --to- 192.168.1.100 After this rule am able to receive web pages. but cluster doesn't works at all. what i mean is if i try to shutdown active server the virtual ip doesn't shifts to passive server. note:- before applying iptables the cluster works fine but cat get webpages as mention earlies. please help guys if any body have any solution or have configured RHCS for the same. -- Regards Advait Raut

seeking suggestion for file system ext3/xfs/reiserfs on 6/4TB disk arrays
by Arun Khan 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

If you have been managing Linux filesystems on large disk arrays, I would like to hear your experience/advice on what filesystem you have selected (ext3/xfs/reiserfs/jfs). My main concern with XFS is that fsck.xfs is basically a shell script that always returns success. The utility that does the real check, runs only in single user mode otherwise it complaints "out of memory" (4GB RAM with Dual Xeon 2.0Ghz CPUs). I tried it once on the 4TB fs. It ran for over the weekend and it was still running come Monday morning when I had kill the process and bring the file server back on line for end users. I would appreciate your personal experiences with any of the above fs on TB/PB scale. <background> I have under my administration a file server with two arrays 6TB and 4TB. The consultant prior to me had formatted both the arrays with XFS fs. The client was experiencing frequent disconnects between client stations and the file server - lately it could be resolved only with a system reboot and not just a restart of the NFS server. I tried NFS tuning (increase server threads, rsize, wsize etc.) on the server as well as the client but not much improvement. To resolve finger pointing between hardware and OS/software we asked the hardware vendor to re-certify all the components in the arrays as well as the header. In this process they have cleaned up both disk arrays and we have to start afresh. (I do have backups of the data in two places). </background> Thanks for your time and advice. Regards, -- Arun Khan

Dear mental flossers, I'd written to you a while earlier with the suggestion to form an online classifieds forum for all things FLOSS. The offer still stands. The more the better. I've found a good website though, and it seems to have a lot of eyeballs, judging by the kind of displayed posts. http://fossjobs.wordpress.com/ It *seems* to be the first foss classifieds website from India. It's free. Job seekers may seek more details there. Disclaimer: I don't know the site maintainer and have no professional interest in this website whatsoever.

Drupal sprint India is a two day non-stop event where Drupal developers, documentation and translation guys will get together to enhance Drupal. We will have code sprints, documentation sprints as well as translation sprints. Join coding sprints to fix patches for upcoming Drupal 7 release or to port modules from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 or to develop new modules from scratch. Join Documentation sprint to document Drupal. Documentation sprint will be headed by Addison Berry, Drupal documentation project lead. Those interested in localization can join the party to translate Drupal to local languages. You need not have *any experience* with enhancing Drupal before hand, even newbies are invited. That is not all, we have more in store for you. Got any Drupal success story to share or you have put Drupal to any innovative use or any magnificent case study where you have integrated Drupal with third party web services or web sites? This is the time to showcase this. Parallel to sprint, we will hold talks and workshops to showcase the capabilities of Drupal beyond CMS to build website. If you have a story to showcase, register for the event right ahead. Talks/Workshop registration ends October 15 2009. All talks and registrations submitted will go through a community voting and top 10 talks plus workshops will be chosen for the event. We plan to hold total of 8 hours of talks and 8 hours of workshops around Drupal over two days. Still interested in Drupal to use it in your next big venture... Just drop in and learn from the best Drupal brains around the country on how to put Drupal to best use. So click http://drupalindia2009.plug.org.in now and register for the event. The event is free, registration is free. All you have to make sure that your code is also FREE. So, what are you waiting for? Mark your calendar for the event dates!!

Ext3 Issues
by Rony 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

Hello, I had installed a 250 GB SATA drive in my system using a PCI to SATA card. It had 3 partitions. One small primary partition with NTFS and the remaining extended partition with 2 equal and large ext3 logical partitions. Suddenly one day I got ext3 errors while booting and the 2 ext3 partitions would not mount. Both had bad superblocks. One partition with important data could be recovered using e2fsck but the other had a very bad superblock so I finally formatted it again with ext3. The primary NTFS partition was ok all the time. What are the possible causes for this sudden busting of superblocks? The bad blocks check did not reveal any bad blocks so that part was ok. -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux !
