From svlug at tgeller.com Mon Oct 1 17:38:02 2001 From: svlug at tgeller.com (Tom Geller) Date: Sat Apr 2 14:56:30 2005 Subject: [web-team] Official speaker for February 2002 Message-ID: It's been confirmed. Web team: Please add this to the site. Thanks! --Tom Geller Speaker Coordinator, SVLUG 415-552-2557 ---begin--- Subject: SVLUG meeting Wed, 6 February, 7 pm.: MPEG4IP We're pleased to announce the next meeting of SVLUG, this coming Wednesday. WHEN: Wednesday, 6 February, 7pm-9pm or so. WHO: MPEG4IP (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpeg4ip/) David Mackie, Technical Leader, Cisco Systems Bill May, Technical Leader, Cisco Systems ABOUT: The objective of MPEG4IP is to remove barriers to streaming that exist because of companies who "embrace and extend" common standards -- and in doing so, break them. By comparison, MPEG4IP is being developed in consideration of the Internet Streaming Media Alliance specification for interoperable streaming technologies. MPEG4IP is an SDK available on SourceForge that includes an MPEG4-based encoder, decoder and server from which developers can create their own streaming solutions. Originally developed for Linux, MPEG4IP has been ported to FreeBSD, BSD/OS and Mac OS X by supporters. MPEG4IP is not a Cisco product; However, Cisco developers started the project over a year ago by aggregating and enhancing existing open-source code, and creating new libraries. MORE ABOUT THE SPEAKERS: Both speakers are Technical Leaders at Cisco Systems' Technology Center. The Technology Center focuses on development of new technologies and markets. Both have the MPEG4IP project as their primary job focus. Bill May has over 15 years of industry experience and has held several positions during his eight years at Cisco. He has been involved in IOS as a developer in WAN and Infrastructure, was a Manager, and has worked on the IP/TV product. Prior to that he was in the telecommunications industry at companies such as T-Com, Cohesive Networks and Timeplex. David Mackie has been working on standards-based streaming media for the past five years, and has 15 years industry experience. He has lead a variety of R&D projects centered around Internet technologies at such companies as The Wollongong Group, Bridge Communications, Network Computing Devices, FTP Software, Open Market, Books That Work, Precept Software, and now Cisco Systems. 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. We look forward to seeing you there! ---end--- -- Tom Geller * San Francisco * tgeller.com Speaker Coordinator, Silicon Valley Linux Users Group (svlug.org) Current: tgeller.com, spamcon.org, bandwidthpr.com Obsolete: suespammers.org, openppc.org, popcomputers.com From fred at poasana.com Tue Oct 9 23:48:02 2001 From: fred at poasana.com (Fred Townsend) Date: Sat Apr 2 14:56:30 2005 Subject: [web-team] SVCS.ORG Message-ID: <3BC3EDE6.E881BE9B@poasana.com> SVCS is finally getting their web site back together.

Err, of all things, you *really* don't want to have any domain with network solutions (which you call internic, but they're distinct). Network solutions, apart from costing more, will give you the worst service possible, if they do not screw up your domain for two months (like they did for us): http://lists.svlug.org/pipermail/svlug/2001-January/006479.html We can at your option 1) Keep the zone where it is hosted and point records to the hosts of your choice 2) Change the technical/owner contact on the zone, so that you can directly admin the zone with opensrs (easy to do, works through a web site) 3) If you *really* want to move back the zone to network solutions, you can initiate a transfert and we'll approve it.

So you'd like us to point www.svcs.net to an IP of your choice (if so, please let us know what it is, as well as which mail server is supposed to handle SVCS mail if it isn't us), and later transfer the the domain so that you can serve the zone yourself, right?

Anyways it's not our Jobs page, it's our Jobs Policy page. That link has been restored and you can now read it in detail. The policy is, you have to come to a meeting, and there's a Jobs Corner after the meeting, before people take off to the restaurant or wherever else it is that they go after the meetings. > My client has a real sense of urgency on these jobs. In that, I can't help you directly via SVLUG. Our meeting is a few weeks from now.

MORE ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Michael Ang is a former Netscape software developer who first started working on the "Mozilla Classic" code base in 1998. While at Netscape he worked on the JavaScript interpreter, the XPIDL compiler and XPConnect. His activities since then include kernel/device driver hacking for the PA-RISC Linux port and continued involvement with Mozilla. 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. We look forward to seeing you there! ---end--- -- Tom Geller * San Francisco * tgeller.com Speaker Coordinator, Silicon Valley Linux Users Group (svlug.org) Current: tgeller.com, spamcon.org, bandwidthpr.com Obsolete: suespammers.org, openppc.org, popcomputers.com SpamCon Foundation Member, #00001: Verify at http://www.spamcon.org From star at betelgeuse.starshine.org Tue Oct 16 12:50:01 2001 From: star at betelgeuse.starshine.org (Heather) Date: Sat Apr 2 14:56:31 2005 Subject: [web-team] December updates have been applied.

I did some emergency work on it and brought it back up with init=/bin/bash from a secondary backup root partition (the main one is mostly hosed). I got the web server and mailman/exim to work, but the machine isn't even close to being in a normal state.

Ahh. Might have been worthwhile to post a note to the team about it, at least so we could avoid doing any tweaks that might be lost, while you were making repairs.

We are going to release the commercial version of the YOPY resulted from the accumulated knowledge and experience of technology at the end of November of this year thank to your ceaseless concern of the YOPY and great encouragement to us. Before officially launching the world's first folder type Linux PDA, we would like to show it to you first at 2001 Comdex Fall show in Las Vegas. It would be a great honor to us if you would be able to stop by G.Mate,Inc.'s booth, Convention Center L5823 D-7, during a period of the event (from November 12 to November 16). I hope you can have a chance to enjoy the powerful and attractive YOPY in the show.

But not via telnet. > or am I misunderstanding this "DISPLAY" and X windows system client-server > setup business? Yes. You need an X server set up on your MSwin machine. One of two paths needs to be used to get the kde program's X requests back to your MSwin-X: (1) the unencrypted, normal X way to do it -- your MSwin-X serves on port 6000 or so, and the Linux box is given a DISPLAY variable telling it where to resolve to, and display number. (display number 0 is port 6000) (2) tunneled back through ssh protocol -- requires an MSwin ssh client which has properly implemented forwarding. Many have not. The DISPLAY variable passed through will look something like "localhost:10.0" ... where on display 10, ssh has a stub that will pick up the requests, and forward them back to your original system. > I have tried setting DISPLAY to `hostname`':0.0' and so on but it usually gives the error > _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 > _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 > _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 > _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 > _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 > _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 > > or something similar. > Please help out. That's method 1, but you had no X server running. In X windowing, it "serves" a screen, keyboard amd input device(s) to the applications - strictly speaking, they are the "client", not you. Several commercial X servers for MSwin, and at least one free* one (named MI/X) exist. * as in beer. > Yours-in-computing, > Tunde Itayemi. Good luck.
