The simplest way to do the former is with pngcrush, for which there's a link here: http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/pngapcv.html For example: pngcrush -d tmpdir -rem bkgd north-sj.png cisco-9-lrt-path-2001.png mv tmpdir/*.png . Before: File: svlug.org-north-sj.png (25161 bytes) chunk IHDR at offset 0x0000c, length 13 390 x 245 image, 24-bit RGB, non-interlaced chunk gAMA at offset 0x00025, length 4: 0.45455 chunk bKGD at offset 0x00035, length 6: red = 255 green = 255 blue = 255 chunk pHYs at offset 0x00047, length 9: 2834x2834 pixels/meter (72 dpi) chunk tIME at offset 0x0005c, length 7: 1 Jun 2001 17:23:29 GMT chunk IDAT at offset 0x0006f, length 8192 zlib: deflated, 32K window, maximum compression chunk IDAT at offset 0x0207b, length 8192 chunk IDAT at offset 0x04087, length 8192 chunk IDAT at offset 0x06093, length 418 chunk IEND at offset 0x06241, length 0 No errors detected in svlug.org-north-sj.png (91.2% compression). After: File: svlug.org-north-sj-cr.png (17422 bytes) chunk IHDR at offset 0x0000c, length 13 390 x 245 image, 24-bit RGB, non-interlaced chunk gAMA at offset 0x00025, length 4: 0.45455 chunk tIME at offset 0x00035, length 7: 1 Jun 2001 17:23:29 GMT chunk pHYs at offset 0x00048, length 9: 2834x2834 pixels/meter (72 dpi) chunk IDAT at offset 0x0005d, length 17309 zlib: deflated, 32K window, maximum compression chunk IEND at offset 0x04406, length 0 No errors detected in svlug.org-north-sj-cr.png (93.9% compression). You'll note that this also reduces their sizes by about 25-30%. Of course, converting them to palette mode makes them smaller still, although it re- quires other tools (e.g., XV or pngtopnm/pnmtopng). And you can shave off a little more also by using additional pngcrush -rem options to nuke the pHYs and tIME chunks, which are not especially necessary: File: svlug.org-north-sj-8-cr.png (14394 bytes) chunk IHDR at offset 0x0000c, length 13 390 x 245 image, 8-bit colormap, non-interlaced chunk gAMA at offset 0x00025, length 4: 0.45455 chunk PLTE at offset 0x00035, length 96: 32 palette entries chunk IDAT at offset 0x000a1, length 14213 zlib: deflated, 32K window, maximum compression chunk IEND at offset 0x03832, length 0 No errors detected in svlug.org-north-sj-8-cr.png (84.9% compression). For your convenience, I'll send the fixed, 8-bit images in my next two messages. (I'd append them to this one, but my ancient, cheesy-but-fully- virus-proof mailer doesn't do MIME. Sorry.)

The side we are on is the Silver Oak/Jordan conference rooms, where a large Cisco fountain is usually not turned on. Directions on how to get there are listed at: http://www.svlug.org/directions/cisco-9.shtml We've tried our very best for these directions to be accurate. If you have any improvements to make, please let our Web Team know! web-team@svlug.org NOTES: It's best if you arrive close to on time, as otherwise there may not be someone posted at the door to let you in. After the speakers end their presentation there is usually a Q&A session, time for job seekers and employers to meet, and often a few door prizes. When the meeting is over people are encouraged to chat a bit, but also to exit the building so Cisco can lock up. Don't worry, a lot of us go to dinner afterward so there's plenty of time to chat outdoors or offsite. We look forward to seeing you there! ---end--- -- Tom Geller * tom@spamcon.org * +1-415-552-2557 Executive Director, SpamCon Foundation A California non-profit organization Protecting email as a medium of communications and commerce From ikluft at thunder.sbay.org Fri Aug 3 17:59:01 2001 From: ikluft at thunder.sbay.org (Ian Kluft) Date: Sat Apr 2 14:56:26 2005 Subject: [web-team] Linux10 on Aug 25 - Linux 10th anniversary invitation (update) Message-ID: I'd like to thank the following groups who added links to Linux10 since our first invitation to LUGs and Open Source groups in the region on July 25: * EBLUG - East Bay Linux User Group, Fremont * LBNL LUG, Berkeley * LUGoD - Linux User Group of Davis * LALUGS - Linux User Groups of Los Angeles We've linked to their sites from the Linux10 home page: http://linux10.org to thank them! (If the LA groups organize a separate Linux10 event for SoCal, let us know and we'll add a link from linux10.org. But you're also welcome to join us in Sunnyvale.) This is an update of invitation addressed to Linux User Groups and Open Source related organizations in our region. The previous one was sent July 25 - we think things got drowned out by the DMCA protests going on the same week, even though we waited until they were done to send it. (We were there too.) Things have been moving and it's time for an update. We understand that people are busy. But please at least add a link to Linux10 on your group's web site. Let's make sure Linux and Open Source users in the region know the 10th anniversary of Linux is coming in 3 weeks. It's a major milestone for all Open Source software enthusiasts, which is why we've invited Perl, Python, Java and BSD groups as well. Recipient organizations are listed below. The South Bay/Silicon Valley Community Network (sbay.org), the Silicon Valley Linux User Group (SVLUG), and the East Bay Linux User Group (EBLUG) would like to invite you and your group's members to the "Linux10" Linux 10th anniversary picnic and BBQ on August 25, 2001 from 11AM to 6PM at the Sunnyvale Baylands Park in Sunnyvale, California. (Grills will close at 3PM.) We're planning this as a regional event. As the coordinator of a LUG or Open Source organization in the region, you're welcome to participate in the planning to any extent you're comfortable with. We're also asking you to promote Linux10 among your membership and to help coordinate travel from your location if necessary. We're sending these invitations as far as Chico, Reno, Fresno, Bakersfield, San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles. Please feel free to circulate this invitation to other Linux or Open Source organizations in or near your area. Here's an updated list of what the local organizers have done so far: * We picked the August 25 date based on the date of Linus Torvalds' e-mail of Aug 25, 1991 announcing that his experimental kernel was about to be posted. That was what got other people involved, and when it changed from Linus' personal project to the beginning of a community effort. * We reserved the Eucalyptus Hollow picnic area and Baylands Grove amphitheater at Sunnyvale Baylands Park, for a capacity of 625 people. * We established the event's web site at http://www.linux10.org/ * We have recruited some of the volunteers needed to hold the event. * Expenses already incurred have been the park reservation fee and a batch of Linux10 T-shirts which began being sold at SVLUG and other group meetings in the next few weeks for a fund raiser. * As a fund-raiser, T-shirts are now available on the linux10.org web site. * So far these have been covered out-of-pocket by local organizers. The donations crew have asked around and gotten commitments of corportate support which go a long way toward paying the expenses. But we still need some more. * The Food and First Aid teams were our highest priority to fill first. We have volunteers for them now. (Though anyone who wants to help with them won't be turned away.) We're continuing to recruit for signage, transit shuttle drivers and the activites team. * We'd like to thank the East Bay Linux User Group who jumped in and offered their experience with large BBQs and are hanlding the food. It's such an important part of the event that EBLUG is now considered one of the host organizations. * We were concerned about what to do if/when the park's parking lot fills up. Many thanks to Red Hat whose facilities manager gave us permission to use their parking lot across the street for overflow. * Additional directions have been filled in at http://www.linux10.org/directions/ Some of many things we're still doing going forward: * Recruit more volunteers. For most preparations we'll need locals in or near Silicon Valley. Volunteers for the event day can be from anywhere. http://linux10.org/volunteer/ * Find donations to cover the expenses. http://linux10.org/donations/ * Planning activities at the event. * Planning a shuttle from the light rail/bus stop to the event. * Planning radio communications on the site (first aid, transit shuttle, etc.) * Planning food and supply purchases before the event. Here's what we need you to do: (This is unchanged but still needed) * Announce Linux10 and your organization's participation to your members. The URL is http://www.linux10.org/ Some things to mention... * It's a family event. Bring the kids. * It's a no-media event. Linux/Open Source enthusiasts who work for the media may attend and participate while off-duty. * Consider participating in the planning of Linux10, or delegate it to a member of your group to represent you. Our mail list for planners and volunteers is at http://www.sbay.org/mailman/listinfo/linux10 Please introduce yourself and let us know your group will be participating. * Please link to http://www.linux10.org/ from your web site. We'll link to you when we receive your intro. You can specify a URL or we'll get it from http://www.sbay.org/linux-info.html * Please encourage your members to RSVP at http://www.linux10.org/rsvp/ * If necessary, coordinate rides for your area on our ride board http://www.linux10.org/ride_board/ Please note that carpooling is recommended because there are only 300 parking spaces in the adjacent lot. It's a longer walk from other lots. And the rest of the park was booked so those other lots may fill too. Thank you for your help in getting the word out about Linux10.

The film will screen at 7 PM, on Wednesday, August 29, at the Loews Metreon theatre (formerly known as the Sony Metreon). http://www.hp.com/products1/linux/news_events/events/revolution_os.html "Revolution OS" tell the story of the Open Source/Free Software movement from Richard Stallman's founding of the GNU Project through the year 2000. Some of the people interviewed include: Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman, Brian Behlendorf, Bruce Perens, Eric Raymond, Michael Tiemann, Larry Augustin, Chris DiBona, Nick Moffitt, Marc Merlin, and Rob Malda. "Revolution OS" was filmed in 35mm Cinemascope on location in Silicon Valley from 1999 to 2000. Some of the events depicted in the film include the 1999 LinuxWorld Expo, the Windows Refund Day Protest March, and a SVLUG Installfest. And, yes, you can see Rick Moen in the film.

Message-ID: <20010813153107.28198.qmail@mailweb31.rediffmail.com> Dear linux loving people!, I am running myself a cyber cafe in India. I don't have a big establishment nor do I have many systems as nodes. So I run my cafe on a dial up line. our telecom department gives us the speed up to 41K.( as shown in the properties) The telephone line supports up to 28kbps. I get the downloading speed of 2 to 3 kbps on my dial up line. It is extremely hard for me to put more than three nodes on the internet sharing. I have heard that Linux if set up on the server gives reasonable speed on dial up and programs runs faster than they usually run on WINDOWS. I wanted expert advise on this 'cause I wanted to learn Linux ( I know Java and C++ in detail). You are requested to please send me information regarding this. Hope I won't be disappointed on this LUG. Thanking you and looking for a favorable resopnse.

Milt Kostner has volunteered to be our webmaster, has downloaded the current info from our pages. I sent him some updated info in .html format. In the past, we had our own URL: svcs.org, but lost it due to non-payment of dues, so the page is now www.svlug.org/~svcs There was a PERL script (cgi-bin) that allowed me to change the content of the SIG pages with a password, but it has been "broken" for the last two years, possibly because of the URL change, since I am now accessing it from svlug.org\~svcs instead of svcs.org. SIG leaders who changed their own pages often changed their password without notifying me. Could you contact Milt & me, telling us what we need to do to revise our pages? questions: 1) who should we contact for on-going assistance? 2) does your server have the microsoft frontpage extensions enabled? 3) what size limits do you want on stored files, images? 4) what is your preferred web editor for uploads?

WHO: Vovida.org Community Site VOCAL - Vovida Open Communication Application Library http://www.vovida.org Senior Software Engineers David Bryan, Cheung Tam ABOUT: Vovida.org is a community site dedicated to providing a forum for open-source software used in datacom and telecom environments. Its project VOCAL (Vovida Open Communication Application Library) aims to hasten the adoption of voice over IP in the marketplace. The software modules in VOCAL include a SIP-based Redirect Server, Feature Server, Provisioning Server, Policy Server and Marshal Proxy along with protocol translators from SIP to H.323 and SIP to MGCP. The talk briefly overviews the Vovida.org site and provides details of the VOCAL software. MORE ABOUT THE SPEAKERS: David Bryan is a Senior Software Engineer for the VOCAL software. He has ten years of software development experience and holds bachelor degrees in computer science and in physics from Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, and a master's degree in computer science from the College of William and Mary.

They are part of the original team of developers of the VOCAL software. WHERE: Cisco Building 9. The land of NUMBERS. The VINEYARDS conference center. The side we are on is the Silver Oak/Jordan conference rooms, where a large Cisco fountain is usually not turned on. Directions on how to get there are listed at: http://www.svlug.org/directions/cisco-9.shtml We've tried our very best for these directions to be accurate. If you have any improvements to make, please let our Web Team know! web-team@svlug.org NOTES: It's best if you arrive close to on time, as otherwise there may not be someone posted at the door to let you in. After the speakers end their presentation there is usually a Q&A session, time for job seekers and employers to meet, and often a few door prizes. When the meeting is over people are encouraged to chat a bit, but also to exit the building so Cisco can lock up. Don't worry, a lot of us go to dinner afterward so there's plenty of time to chat outdoors or offsite.

I've been deeply involved in some client work and it slowed all my volunteer projects down a bit. Mar Merlins and I maintain the server together, along with some other volunteers who have less access. In division of labor I'd say Marc has the lion's share since he's the primary mail admin and the one with physical access to the machine, if that ever became important; I coordinate the web related activities; the most helpful of my team is Winston who maintains the link farm, but there are a few others here on the web-team as well. I believe but am not certain, that Marc maintains SVLUG's DNS server as well. If not he knows who does. The SVLUG server can equally easily have some web pages dedicated for your use under the SVLUG web area, or a seperate virtual host. Or, with some care during configuration, we can cause it to appear both ways. [ techie detail: yes, I have a test case on my home staging server which does this... with the caveat, if you want it that way, all pages must be maintained as relative links to each other, no absolute paths.] The normal webteam access we grant is a shell account that you log into using an ssh client - if you don't have one already, then for Linux I recommend openssh, for MSwin I recommend Putty, for Macintosh there's a nice client written in Java.

I would think that unless we manage to be doing something useful and special for you, that we only get as much link space as your other SIGs. Logically we should add that we are a sig of SVCS to be a permanent small spot on the sidebar - much as VA Linux has a permanent spot there for the hosting they provide us - so that a link to your new site appears on all our pages. In order for that to work, first we need your site working. > I note a reference to AIII. Me thinks that should also go > on a Links page. (I know you are talking about your own site layout, but...) Winston maintains our Link Farm, and if you prefer to be hosted elsewhere and pointed at from our link farm only rather than from the sidebar, we can certainly do that... as soon as the link would work. I believe that we have some older material from SVCS in our backups. How useful it is to you, I couldn't say. Do you have some web material for us to post in its stead? Should I ZIP it up and send it to someone specific in your crew for study and cleanup? > ** > We should be able to use the svlug website. > I'll try to find a contact there. > > Silicon Valley Computer Society used to have the URL svcs.org, but it > was lost due to non-payment of dues, and several links are broken > (should now say www.svlug.org/~svcs).

This appears to be the effect of the DNS resolution now correctly reaching SVLUG's host, however we have no virtuals at all yet so you're landing at the default page, which is our stuff. I made a quick attempt to put in a virtual for you folks, but changing a host which has no virtuals, to a host which has several, is trickier than I thought at first glance, and I had to back it out (it didn't work).

Actually, it was down before I became president, and we ended up thinking that no one cared since no one ever contacted us. For that matter, the first mail I got from SVCS this week said something along the lines that you thought you had lost svcs.org because you forgot to re-register it. I'm the current owner of the svcs.org domain because I was forced to transfert it away from network solutions as it incorrectly refered to www.svlug.org as a name server and broke our main web page for two months as a result, until I was able to move the domain to opensrs and fix the problem. http://lists.svlug.org/pipermail/svlug/2001-January/006479.html My whole point is that if there is a problem, it's as simple as telling us about it and asking us to fix it :-) > I agree. This appears to be the effect of the DNS resolution now > correctly reaching SVLUG's host, however we have no virtuals at all Yep. We happened to have the zone, but didn't know which servers to point it to or who was in charge, but after that first mail we received, it became clear that no one was serving it anymore, so I created a quick zone file for it and it came up. > yet so you're landing at the default page, which is our stuff.

You sent this note to the web team, who handles requests to update the website, or about broken links, etc. Where you really need to ask this question is on SVLUG's general chat list, svlug@svlug.org. But it won't accept your mail unless you join the list first. We use Mailman list management software.

We shall be joining the Linux World Expo in San Francisco, California from August 28-30, 2001 at the Moscone Convention Center. Our booth shall be located inside the Mandrakesoft Pavilion, one of our Linux partners, among other Linux distributions that we are accredited with.. Our product is a back-end messaging solution called the Internet Exchange Messaging Server (IEMS)5. IEMS5 runs on Windows and Linux Red Hat, Mandrake, Suse, Turbolinux, VALinux, and Caldera. IEMS5 is also capable of functioning as a stand-alone mail-server with an optimized message store and secure directory server. It provides end-users with the flexibility to receive and transmit messages via multiple clients (cc: Mail, Notes, IMAP, POP3, Webmail). Further, it could be run on different machines for optimum scalability. You can check out our site at www.ima.com. Please excuse this note if you consider it an unwelcome intrusion. If you do not wish for me to email you again with such an invitation, please respond to this email with the words "do not contact" in the subject line. But if your are interested, I would really like to know if you can come visit us at our booth and call you for a definite business appointment at the show. Can I call you on this ?

The legal tradition in copyright has always drawn a distinction between facts and ideas on one hand, which nobody can own; and expression on the other hand, which is what has been allowed to be copyrighted. The thing is, data elements are facts, whether they are part of an expressive work or not. Free speech, the use of information and the very purpose of copyright are being revised by publishers and other "content" stakeholders by means of "content" control measures, such as the American Digital Millennium Copyright Anticircumvention Act, and the provisions of the international TRIPS treaty. Currently, a Russian citizen, Dmitry Sklyarov, is being prosecuted for felony charges under the DMCA, for work he did in developing software that decrypts the Adobe e-Book. The Copyright Clause in the US Constitution is geared toward allowing Congress to grant artificial monopolies ("exclusive Right" for "limited Times" to "Writings and Discoveries") in order to "promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts." It does not grant copyright as a natural right, and it does not provide for the superseding of free speech by this power of Congress. Do you agree that content control must not be allowed to enable copyright to supersede our free speech right to process and distribute information? We need outreach volunteers and coordinators who wish to help get the word out about what is going on, and to build the constituency of those who are affected by these developments. If you agree that content control must not be allowed to enable copyright to supersede free speech rights, then please contact me, or subscribe to the C-FIT Content Control Outreach discussion list by sending an email saying "subscribe C-FIT_Release_Community" to ListServ@realmeasures.dyndns.org.

I had contacted you in June, and wanted to follow-up on the possibility of a reciprocal link exchange. (for you LUG). Please take a look at our portal, ITtoolbox Linux -http://Linux.ITtoolbox.com, when you have a chance, and let me know what you think. I also wanted to see if you would be interested in using the free Data Feed service that we offer to technology related sites. It is a java script, and we have not developed a version of it with Perl, so I realize that being a Linux fan, you may not be interested, but I will describe it a little for you in case you are. To get the script, go to http://datafeed.ITtoolbox.com and follow the directions provided. If you go through the basic set-up and type ".test" at the URL prompt, it will display a basic sample. Sites already using the service include http://www.orajobs.com, http://www.stokely.com, and http://www.ITPRC.com. If you have any questions about the service, please do not hesitate to contact me. We look forward to any feedback on the site and the possibility of working with you for a mutually beneficial relationship. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
