OpenOffice dropped from Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.04

2010-02-08T18:20:12Z

http://digitizor.com/2010/02/05/openoffice-dropped-from-ubuntu-netbook-edition-10-04/

According to the latest Ubuntu Netbook Remix Blueprint, the Ubuntu community are planning to drop OpenOffice from the default installation of Ubuntu Netbook Edition for the upcoming Lucid Lynx release, atleast for now. Now documents will be opened by default in Google Docs.

We have previously told you about Gimp being dropped from Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu replacing Google with Yahoo as the default search engine.

The developers have been removing applications that are irrelevant on a netbook. While document editing is clearly a not irrelevant on a netbook, the developers feel that with netbooks being used mostly for internet related works, Google Docs will suffice.

UNR users flooded the blueprint with requests to keep handy office tools, at least for documents and spreadsheets:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-lucid-une-applications

Decision from feedbacks:
After discussing with rickspencer3: as user feedback has not been good on removing completely an office suite on UNE, we'll try adding abiword and gnumeric which are great lightweight tools for docs and tabular. We will still try to investigate on additional online tools.

Campus Party Europe in Madrid

2010-02-01T12:46:37Z

@ubuntu loco mailing list owners/administrators: Check your spam mail, you might have already been contacted.
@ubuntu-cy: I have collected some more information about the event.

(Sorry if you got this email more than once!)

I am forwarding an invitation sent out to ubuntu-cy-owner (mailing list) email. It's an educational event -- a conference where people from all around Europe would meet, show and experience innovations of the Internet and the new computer era in general. It looks really interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhbu4cWJZTU

I have contacted Claudia Barquet, the Campus Party Europe/Research Team Leader, who gave me a bit more information about it, so I decided to forward it to other mailing lists.
Feel free to forward it to anyone interested. :)

Re 1:

Hello, I reply as one of the ubuntu-cy mailing list administrators (ubuntu-cy-owner@...).

I have some questions regarding the invitations:
1. Was the invitation meant for only the administration team or for all the ubuntu-cy members?

2. Do we have to do anything, such as presentations or project showcase, in order to receive the invitation?

3. The travel and accomodation expenses are all paid before or after we arrive at the event? What kind of accomodation is it, e.g. the name of the accomodation? Can you give more information about this and some pictures of the accomodation area (do we share bathrooms, how many persons in a room, etc.)?

Cheers,
Savvas Radevic
aka medigeek

Any ubuntu-cy member or internet activist can apply with a project. That's OK.

1. The ubuntu-cy administration can choose only one member to
represent us? And that person will travel cost-free to the event?
2. In order to travel cost-free, does ubuntu-cy have to participate to
the event with a project?

Thanks again and sorry for the trouble!

Re 4:

Hello Savvas!

Campus Party Europe has launched a call to all the internet and technology passionate who on top of that have a project or are collaborating in anything related to Campus Party Europe, in this sense everyone can apply for an Invitation. The process is simply: go to the web page, register as Campusero first, and then apply for a Campus Party Europe by submitting a description of the project you are in.

About the Ubuntu-Cy administrative staff; the invitation is not restricted to only one person, but if already you have a nice project or idea and someone would like to assist to campus party, then this is in a way "a fast track registration"

It would be a wonderful idea if you could widespread the Campus Party Europe call among all your community members and encourage them to go to the web and register themselves, so we can have the best of Cyprus represented.

Hoping to hear back from you soon,

All the best,

Claudia Barquet
Campus Party Europe/Research Team Leader

That's it!

Enjoy,
Savvas

Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS released

2010-01-29T01:25:55Z

Another maintenance update of Ubuntu "Hardy Heron" has been announced, 8.04.4.
It's the last maintenance release for 8.04 LTS, that means that no other security updates will be integrated. All other future updates can be downloaded.

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Steve Langasek <[hidden email]>
Date: 29 January 2010 02:46
Subject: Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS released
To: [hidden email]

The Ubuntu team is proud to announce the release of Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS, the
fourth maintenance update to Ubuntu's 8.04 LTS release. This release
includes updated server, desktop, and alternate installation CDs for the
i386 and amd64 architectures. Ubuntu 8.04 LTS continues to be maintained
through 2011 for desktops and 2013 for servers through online updates, but
this is the final maintenance release of 8.04 LTS.

In all, some 70 updates have been integrated, and updated installation
media has been provided so that fewer updates will need to be downloaded
after installation. These include security updates and corrections for
other high-impact bugs, with a focus on maintaining stability and
compatibility with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.

To Get Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS
------------------------

To download Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS, or obtain CDs, visit:

http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

We recommend that all users read the release notes, which document
caveats and workarounds for known issues. They are available at:

http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/804

About Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS
-----------------------

This is the fourth maintenance release of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, which
continues to be supported with maintenance updates and security fixes
until April 2011 on desktops and April 2013 on servers.

This is the last maintenance release for the 8.04 LTS series. Future
security updates will be individually downloadable from the Ubuntu archive
in the same way as before, but no further updates to installation media will
be provided for 8.04 LTS. The next LTS release, 10.04 LTS, will be released
in April 2010. We recommend that users installing Ubuntu after April
install the latest LTS release.

Users do not need to change anything to take advantage of this maintenance
release on already-installed 8.04 LTS systems; security updates and fixes
for other high-impact bugs are always made available over the Internet and
presented to users for installation by default. The updated installation
media are provided for the benefit of users who are installing Ubuntu 8.04
LTS on new systems.

77 post-release updates have been integrated in this maintenance release,
and several bugs in the installation system have been corrected. These
include security updates and corrections for other high-impact bugs, with a
focus on maintaining stability and compatibility with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.

See http://www.ubuntu.com/usn for a full list of Ubuntu security updates.
As of 2010-01-20, all updates affecting packages on the CD have been
applied.

A summary of notable updates follows. See

The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop and Server
editions, Ubuntu 9.10 Server for Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC) and Amazon's

the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality,

Ubuntu 9.10 will be supported for 18 months on both desktops and servers.
Users requiring a longer support lifetime on the server may choose to

than upgrading to 9.10.

available in 25 languages. For a list of supported languages and detailed

lab for the workshops. We will need to bring our own computers for the
workshops since we have not been granted the permission to install or
even use the livecd on the computers of the lab.

So if any of you has an interesting idea for a presentation you can send
your proposal and we will arrange a time slot for the presentation. Also
if you want to deliver a workshop instead that is also possible.

We also need contributors for the following:

1) We need someone to prepare some flyers.
2) We need someone to print the above flyers.
3) We need people to distribute the flyers on all cities.
4) If we could have some announcements on tv,radio and newspapers that
would be sweet!
5) We need people to bring their computers to the labs so we can
demonstrate Karmic Koala and Fedora 12.
6) If you know a computer shop that can contribute some computers on
loan, bring them on and they will be announced as sponsors.
7) We need a Snacks and Refreshements sponsor.

Help to make this event the most successful ever!

Grab it while it's hot! It's been a year or so since we last heard about a linux version. While Windows users enjoy skype 4, it seems that the linux version was long forgotten. This was quite an unexpect surprise, but here we go:

You are advised to:

===========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-820-1 August 20, 2009
pidgin vulnerability
CVE-2009-2694
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
Ubuntu 8.10
Ubuntu 9.04

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
pidgin 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2.6

Ubuntu 8.10:
pidgin 1:2.5.2-0ubuntu1.4

Ubuntu 9.04:
pidgin 1:2.5.5-1ubuntu8.4

After a standard system upgrade you need to restart Pidgin to effect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

Federico Muttis discovered that Pidgin did not properly handle certain
malformed messages in the MSN protocol handler. A remote attacker could
send a specially crafted message and possibly execute arbitrary code with
user privileges.

Εκπαιδευτικές εφαρμογές Δημοτικού & Γυμνασίου, πακέτα για Ubuntu/Debian - ζητούνται rpm packagers

2009-08-15T02:40:47Z

Μεγάλο βήμα προς τη χρήση ελεύθερου λογισμικού για την πρωτοβάθμια και δευτεροβάθμια εκπαίδευση!

Μεταφέρω την ανακοίνωση που αναφέρθηκε στο φόρουμ και πιστεύω είναι αρκετά ενδιαφέρον είδηση:

=========

Δημιουργήθηκε ένας ιστοχώρος από την Υπηρεσία Τεχνικής Στήριξης ΣΕΠΕΗΥ με τον οποίο είναι δυνατή η εγκατάσταση όλων των λογισμικών που φαίνονται στην εικόνα, επιλέγοντας απλά τα πακέτα "dimotiko" ή "gymnasio" από το πρόγραμμα διαχείρισης λογισμικού του Linux.

Δηλαδή πλέον η εγκατάσταση εκπαιδευτικού λογισμικού είναι κατά πολύ ευκολότερη σε Linux παρά σε Windows. Εάν προσμετρήσουμε ότι το Linux τρέχει και σε αρχαία εργαστήρια (LTSP) και ότι δεν χρειάζεται συντήρηση (αυτόματα updates σε όλα τα προγράμματα, όχι ιοί κτλ) και φυσικά ότι δεν ανησυχούμε σαν υπεύθυνοι ΣΕΠΕΗΥ για παράνομο λογισμικό, φαίνεται ότι πλέον το Linux είναι πανέτοιμο *τουλάχιστον* για το Δημοτικό και το Γυμνάσιο.

Ανακοίνωση: http://ts.sch.gr/ts/newsDetails.do?action=newsDetails&itemId=300219
Περισσότερες πληροφορίες: http://ts.sch.gr/repo/

=========

Χρειάζονται Fedora, Mandriva, OpenSUSE packagers!!

Το άλλο ενδιαφέρον κομμάτι είναι ότι υπάρχει ζήτηση για πακέτα RPM.
Χρήστες, packagers και προγραμματιστές σε Fedora, Red Hat, Mandriva μπορούν να βοηθήσουν στο σκοπό αν έχουν γνώσεις και θέλουν να διατηρούν τα εκπαιδευτικά προγράμματα που αναφέρονται (και τις αναβαθμίσεις τους εννοείται):

Σχετικά με την προυπόθεση για Vista στους μαθητικούς υπολογιστές

2009-07-09T00:42:03Z

Υπόψιν: Έντιμο Υπουργό Παιδείας Δρα Αντρέα Δημητρίου

Αγαπητό Υπουργείο Παιδείας,

Μελετώντας τις προδιαγραφές των μαθητικών υπολογιστών που έθεσε η
εταιρία Ψηφιακές Ενισχύσεις Α.Ε. που εποπτεύεται από το Υπουργείο
Οικονομικών της Ελλάδος βρήκαμε αρκετά ενδιαφέροντα στοιχεία. Ο
σύνδεσμος για τις προδιαγραφές είναι εδώ:

http://www.digitalaid.gr/newsfiles/7_7_2009%CE%A4%CE%B5%CF%87%CE%BD%CE%B9%CE%BA%CE%AD%CF%82%20%CE%A0%CF%81%CE%BF%CE%B4%CE%B9%CE%B1%CE%B3%CF%81%CE%B1%CF%86%CE%AD%CF%82%20%CE%9C%CE%B1%CE%B8%CE%B7%CF%84%CE%B9%CE%BA%CE%BF%CF%8D%20%CE%A5%CF%80%CE%BF%CE%BB%CE%BF%CE%B3%CE%B9%CF%83%CF%84%CE%AE.pdf

Σχετικά με το υλικό (hardware) οι απαιτήσεις είναι πολύ πιο χαμηλές από
αυτές που έθεσε το δικό μας Υπουργείο Παιδείας και θα μπορούσε άνετα
κάποιος με τα �400 να αγοράσει ένα υπολογιστή χωρίς να συνεισφέρει
επιπρόσθετα λεφτά.

Σχετικά με το λογισμικό (software) έχει δοθεί η επιλογή στους μαθητές να
χρησιμοποιήσουν από XP Home και άνω ή Linux/Ubuntu/Edubuntu. Επίσης όσον
αφορά τις εφαρμογές γραφείου τονίζετε ότι αυτές πρέπει να υποστηρίζουν
τα εγκεκριμένα από τον οργανισμό ISO πρότυπα.

Ενδιαφέρον επίσης είναι ότι η προϋπόθεση για αντι-ιική προστασία υπάρχει
μόνο για τα λειτουργικά Windows αφού πρακτικά αυτό δεν αποτελεί πρόβλημα
για τα Linux.

Εμείς σαν κοινότητα που υποστηρίζει το Ελεύθερο Λογισμικό και τα ανοικτά
πρότυπα πιστεύουμε ότι το παράδειγμα της Ελλάδας είναι προς μίμηση και
αναμένουμε την αναθεώρηση της απόφασης για την αποκλειστική προϋπόθεση
λειτουργικού Windows Vista στους επιχορηγημένους υπολογιστές.

Με εκτίμηση,

Ubuntu-cy reacts to laptop funding pre-installed with Vista for high school students

2009-01-11T06:51:12Z

The Government of Cyprus / Ministry of Education has recently decided
to fund high school students to buy a laptop. The funding will be
about 400 EUR for each student. The website and more information about
this is unfortunately posted in Greek:
http://www.moec.gov.cy/ekpaideutiki_metarrythmisi/index.html

The problem is that they have set a strict requirement, that laptops
would come pre-installed with Windows Vista operating system.

A local newspaper has reacted to this (in Greek):
http://www.politis-news.com/cgibin/hweb?-A=840834&-V=archive&-w=VISTA@&-P

Members of our local community have strictly opposed to the fact that
the laptops would come with Windows Vista (in Greek):
http://ghadjikyriacou.blogspot.com/2008/12/vista.html
http://ctrl-alt-backspace.blogspot.com/2008/12/blog-post_13.html
http://ctrl-alt-backspace.blogspot.com/2008/12/laptop.html

Theodotos Andreou of the Ubuntu-cy local community has recently sent a
letter (by mail and electronic mail) to the Ministry of Education
requesting a specific reason to the question "Why Vista?".
Furthermore, he requested to leave the choice for the students to
decide whether they would want a Macintosh, Windows or GNU/Linux
installed.
He also included numerous reasons about a more convenient choice of a
Linux-based operating system, including freedom, speed, stability and
price, which make a Linux operating system a much better solution for
educational purposes.
The email has been posted in our mailing list (in Greek):
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-cy/2008-December/000154.html
http://n2.nabble.com/%CE%93%CE%B9%CE%B1%CF%84%CE%AF-Vista--td1672094.html

The same letter has been forwarded to major media stations in Cyprus
and has been posted today (Sunday, January 11th 2009):
http://www.scribd.com/doc/10061438/123165639623481-wwwpolitisnewscom
http://pdf.politis-news.com/pdf/pdf?-A=132214&-V=pdfedition

The Ministry has not replied to the letter, neither acknowledging nor
acquiring more information about it.

Συζήτηση και επίλυση σχετικά με τα αρχεία της ΕΡΤ (ert-archives.gr)

2009-07-04T04:13:39Z

(Προωθήστε το σε όσους πιστεύετε ότι μπορεί να ενδιαφέρονται)

Σας παραθέτω μήνυμα που μπορεί να τεθεί για συζήτηση και επίλυση
σχετικά με τα αρχεία της ΕΡΤ. Άνοιξα θέμα στο
http://forum.ubuntu-gr.org και μου προτάθηκε να το μεταφέρω και σε
εσάς:
http://forum.ubuntu-gr.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5935

Η ΕΡΤ δε φαίνεται να υποστηρίζει το Linux sto ert-archives.gr:
http://www.ert-archives.gr/wpasV2/public/u04-usr-tech.aspx

Υπάρχει κανείς που θέλει να αναλάβει να γράψει ένα ωραίο κείμενο για
να φτιάξουμε ένα petition, για υποστήριξη Linux/Unix συστημάτων, στο
http://www.petitiononline.com/create_petition.html ;

Τα σημεία που μπορείτε να τονίσετε είναι:
- Υπάρχει τρόπος υποστήριξης *μέσω flash*, για παράδειγμα στη Σερβία
το RTS (Ραδιο-Τηλεόραση Σερβίας http://www.rts.rs/ ) το χρησιμοποιεί
άμεσα (Σελίδα: http://tinyurl.com/lhzqgs Flash:
http://tinyurl.com/mxna25 )
- Υπάρχουν αρκετοί χρήστες που χρησιμοποιούν Mozilla Firefox, Opera
και άλλους browsers - γιατί να τους πιέσουν να χρησιμοποιούν άλλο
πρόγραμμα κι όχι αυτό της αρεσκείας τους;

Σημείωση: Μου μυρίζει θέμα που μπορεί να τεθεί στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση. Η
λύση υπάρχει, αλλά προφανώς αυτοί δε θέλουν να την εφαρμόσουν.

[USN-786-1] apr-util vulnerabilities

2009-06-11T14:58:32Z

If you have server applications (i.e. Apache or svnserve) that use
apt-util, it would be a good idea to upgrade apt-util and restart the
applications for changes to take effect.

===========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-786-1 June 10, 2009
apr-util vulnerabilities
CVE-2009-0023, CVE-2009-1955, CVE-2009-1956
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
Ubuntu 8.10
Ubuntu 9.04

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
libaprutil1 1.2.12+dfsg-3ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 8.10:
libaprutil1 1.2.12+dfsg-7ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 9.04:
libaprutil1 1.2.12+dfsg-8ubuntu0.1

After a standard system upgrade you need to restart any services that use
apr-util, such as Apache or svnserve, to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Matthew Palmer discovered an underflow flaw in apr-util. An attacker could
cause a denial of service via application crash in Apache using a crafted
SVNMasterURI directive, .htaccess file, or when using mod_apreq2.
Applications using libapreq2 are also affected. (CVE-2009-0023)

It was discovered that the XML parser did not properly handle entity
expansion. A remote attacker could cause a denial of service via memory
resource consumption by sending a crafted request to an Apache server
configured to use mod_dav or mod_dav_svn. (CVE-2009-1955)

C. Michael Pilato discovered an off-by-one buffer overflow in apr-util when
formatting certain strings. For big-endian machines (powerpc, hppa and
sparc in Ubuntu), a remote attacker could cause a denial of service or
information disclosure leak. All other architectures for Ubuntu are
not considered to be at risk. (CVE-2009-1956)

Fedora 11 - Leonidas, aka proud to be Greek :-)

2009-06-10T00:44:04Z

It's about time a distribution gets a Greek codename! And Fedora 11 is entitled "Λεονίδας"

Among the thousands of users that follow and use Fedora in their everyday home or office desktop (or server), they are considered one of the few "fronts" that support free software and are always (or most of the time) one step ahead of Ubuntu (in my opinion), when it comes to using the newest, shiniest, top-of-the-line software.

Fedora 11 has been improved in the following areas:
* software management
* sound
* improves key virtualization components
* introduces Fedora Community, a portal project beta

press.redhat.com went ahead and recorded more changes:

* New fingerprint reader support that makes biometric support easy and well-integrated
* Automatic font and mimetype installation that downloads support as needed for foreign-language documents and other content types
* New IBus input method system that makes it easy to switch locales without having to restart a session
* Improved kernel modesetting features for more video cards, including many models of Intel, ATI and NVidia
* Support for the latest filesystems like ext4, with much higher device and file size limits, and faster consistency checking
* Improved virtualization features such as a more flexible and interactive console, and a rewritten VM creation wizard
* MinGW cross-compiler tool set for creating Windows executables using the Fedora distribution

Moreover:
* GCC 4.4
* Python 2.6 as default
* NetBeans 6.5

http://www.opensolaris.com/learn/features/whats-new/200906/images/time-slider-management-large.png
- Codeina for adding support of various media formats.

[USN-778-1] cron vulnerability

2009-06-01T11:53:40Z

Please update your systems, there is a rather important update for cron package.

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Jamie Strandboge <[hidden email]>
Date: 2009/6/1
Subject: [USN-778-1] cron vulnerability
To: [hidden email]
Cc: [hidden email], [hidden email]

===========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-778-1 June 01, 2009
cron vulnerability
CVE-2006-2607
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
Ubuntu 8.10
Ubuntu 9.04

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
cron 3.0pl1-92ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
cron 3.0pl1-100ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 8.10:
cron 3.0pl1-104+ubuntu5.1

Ubuntu 9.04:
cron 3.0pl1-105ubuntu1.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

It was discovered that cron did not properly check the return code of
the setgid() and initgroups() system calls. A local attacker could use
this to escalate group privileges. Please note that cron versions 3.0pl1-64
and later were already patched to address the more serious setuid() check
referred to by CVE-2006-2607.

Απολογισμός 3ου Πάρτι Κυκλοφορίας

2009-05-06T13:19:24Z

Στις 2 Μαΐου 2009 είχαμε το τρίτο Πάρτι Κυκλοφορίας στο Intecollege στην
Λεμεσό. Έγιναν 2 παρουσιάσεις στα Αγγλικά. Αρχίσαμε στις 10:30 για να
δώσουμε το χρόνο σε περισσότερο κόσμο να έρθει και τελικά δεν κάναμε
εργαστήρια επειδή είχαμε πρόβλημα να εγκαταστήσουμε το Jaunty στους
υπολογιστές γιατί ήταν χαμηλών προδιαγραφών.

Οι Παρουσιάσεις:

1) Εισαγωγή και Ιστορία του Ελεύθερου Λογισμικού και του GNU/Linux

Ο Θεόδοτος Ανδρέου εξήγησε τις συνθήκες που γέννησαν το Κίνημα του
Ελεύθερου Λογισμικού, για την Γενική Άδεια Χρήσης GPL και εξήγησε τα
πλεονεκτήματα όταν χρησιμοποιούμε Ελεύθερο Λογισμικό και το GNU/Linux

2) Συμμετέχοντας στην διαδικασία Ανάπτυξης Ελεύθερων Λογισμικών

Ο Λέονιντ Μαμτσένκωβ εξήγησε τα πλεονεκτήματα της χρήσης Ελεύθερου
Λογισμικού από την φοιτητική κοινότητα και έδωσε έμφαση στα
πλεονεκτήματα για τους φοιτητές της Πληροφορικής. Η διαθεσιμότητα του
πηγαίου κώδικα βοηθά ένα φοιτητή της Πληροφορικής να μάθει μελετώντας
τον κώδικα από διάφορα εγχειρήματα και γλώσσες προγραμματισμού. Τόνισε
ότι η ανάπτυξη και η διόρθωση σφαλμάτων δεν είναι οι μόνοι τομείς που
μπορεί κάποιος να συνεισφέρει αλλά υπάρχουν και άλλα θέματα όπως
Δοκιμές, Τεκμηρίωση, Μεταφράσεις, Επικοινωνία κλπ και οι φοιτητές
μπορούν να εμπλακούν σε αυτό που τους ταιριάζει καλύτερα. Συνεισφέροντας
σε ένα εγχείρημα Ελεύθερου Λογισμικού εκτός από ηθική ικανοποίηση
προσφέρει πρακτική εμπειρία και μπορεί να εμπλουτίσει το βιογραφικό του
φοιτητή.

Είχαμε περίπου 30 άτομα και κάποια καινούργια πρόσωπα. Ο λόγος της
μικρής προσέλευσης οφείλετε στο ότι επιλέξαμε το μέσο του τριήμερου για
την εκδήλωση. Το ότι το κάναμε πρωί επίσης δεν βοήθησε και τέλος το
γεγονός ότι χρησιμοποιήσαμε μόνο τον παγκόσμιο ιστό και το ηλεκτρονικό
ταχυδρομείο για την προβολή της εκδήλωσης έπαιξε το ρόλο του.

Παρόλα αυτά η συνάντηση ήταν χρήσιμη γιατί μαζέψαμε 22 υπογραφές για να
εγγράψουμε την κοινότητα ως μη κερδοσκοπικό σωματείο. Ο Μαρίνος Ιωάννου
θα πάρει τις υπογραφές στον δικηγόρο για να αρχίσει την διαδικασία.
Είχαμε και ένα εκλεκτό καλεσμένο τον κ. Κώστα Τσακάλογλου, μέλος του
ΕΛ/ΛΑΚ, και είχαμε μια ενδιαφέρουσα ανταλλαγή απόψεων για το πως να
προσελκύσουμε το ενδιαφέρον του κόσμου αλλά και χορηγών. Ο Κώστας θα μας
αντιπροσωπεύσει στο 2ον Συνέδριο Κοινοτήτων ΕΛ/ΛΑΚ και του δώσαμε μια
σύντομη παρουσίαση για να την προβάλει στην εκδήλωση.

Αυτό το Πάρτι Κυκλοφορίας είχε και κάτι πρωτοποριακό γιατί είχαμε τη
ευκαιρία να δώσουμε κάποια δωράκια στους συμμετέχοντες. Τα δώρα ήταν
προσφορά της εταιρίας MNS Gadget Center και ευχαριστούμε τον κ. Μάνο που
είχε την ιδέα. Οι νικητές ήταν οι Στέλιος Αγαπίου, Ανδριάνα
Χατζηευσταθίου και Χαράλαμπος Λεβέντης οι οποίοι κερδισαν το κινητό
Motorola, τη μνήμη USB και το ασύρματο πληκτρολόγιο αντίστοιχα.

Θα θέλαμε να ευχαριστήσουμε:

κ. Κώστα Περδίκη (Intercollege) για την οργάνωση της εκδήλωσης
κ. Στέφανο Σοφρωνίου (Intercollege) για την ετοιμασία των υπολογιστών
στο εργαστήριο.
κ. Ανδρέα Χαριδήμου (Intercollege) για την ετοιμασία των υπολογιστών στο
εργαστήριο.
κ. Μάνο Τσακαλίδη (MNS Gadgets Center - www.gadgets-center.net) για την
έξοχη ιδέα να προσφέρουν δώρα στους συμμετέχοντες

Από την Κοινότητα ευχαριστούμε:

Ανδριάνα Χατζηευσταθίου (που έφερε τον Κώστα από την Λάρνακα)
Γρηγόρης Χρυσάνθου (Οργάνωση)
Θεόδοτος Ανδρέου (Οργάνωση, Παρουσίαση)
Κωνσταντίνος Μικελλίδης (ετοιμασία CD - Εργαστήρια)
Λέονιντ Μαμτσένκωβ (Παρουσίαση)
Μαρίνος Ιωάννου (Υπογραφές)
Φραγκίσκος Χατζηγεωργίου cystreets.com (Φωτογραφίες)

Θα θέλαμε να ευχαριστήσουμε όλους όσους ήρθαν καθώς και αυτούς που δεν
τα κατάφεραν. Το επόμενο Πάρτι Κυκλοφορίας θα γίνει το Νοέμβριο μάλλον
στη Λευκωσία.

Evaluation of the 3rd Release Party

2009-05-06T23:32:34Z

On 2nd of May 2009 we had our 3rd Release Party at Intercollege
Limassol. During the event we had two presentations in English. We
started at 10:30 am to give the time for more people to attend and we
did not do any workshops as we had problem installing Jaunty on the PCs
due to lack of resources.

The Presentations:

1) Introduction and History of Free Software and GNU/Linux.

Theodotos Andreou explained the conditions that spawned the Free
Software Movement, the GPL and focused on the advantages of using Free
Software and GNU/Linux.

2) Engaging in Free Software Development Process.

Leonid Mamchenkov described the benefits of using Free Software by the
student community and focused on the benefits for the students of
Computer Science. The availability of the source code can help a CS
student to learn and study the code from different projects and
programming languages. He also pointed that free software development is
not only programming and bug fixing but involves many phases like
Testing, Documentation, Translations, Communication etc and students can
get involved in whatever they feel they can help best. Contributing in a
Free Software project not only makes you feel more valuable but can help
a student acquire practical experience and enrich their resume.

We had around 30 persons and some new faces. The reason for such a low
attendance can be traced in the fact that we chose the middle of a long
weekend for the event. Organising the event in the morning was also
wrong and lastly the fact that we used only the web and email to
advertise the event had its share.

Nevertheless the meeting was useful because we gathered 22 signatures
for registering the community as a non-profit association. Marinos
Ioannou will take the signatures to the lawyer and start the procedure.
We also had as a special guest Mr Kostas Tsakaloglou, a member of
HELLUG, and we had some interesting exchange of views about how to
attract the interest of more people and sponsors. He is going to
represent us in the 2nd HELLUG Communities Conference and we gave him a
brief presentation to show at the event.

This Release Party was also innovative because for the first time we had
presents to offer to the participants. The presents were donated by MNS
Gadgets Center and we thank Mr Manos for the idea. The winners were
Stelios Agapiou, Andrianna Hadjiefstathiou and Charalambos Leventis
that won the Motorola mobile, the USB Stick and the wireless keyboard
respectively.

We would like to thank:

Mr Kostas Perdikis (Intercollege) for organising the event.
Mr Stefanos Sofroniou (Intercollege) for preparing the PCs at the lab
Mr Andreas Charidemou (Intercollege) for preparing the PCs at the lab
Mr Manos Tsachalidis (MSN Gadgets Center - www.gadgets-center.net) for
the brilliant idea to offer gifts to the participants

From the Community we like to thank:

Frangiskos Hadjigeorgiou of cystreets.com (Photos)
Gregoris Chrysanthou (Organisation)
Konstantinos Mikellides (CD Preparation - Labs)
Leonid Mamchenkov (Presentation)
Marinos Ioannou (Signatures)
Theodotos Andreou (Organisation - Presentation)
Andrianna Hadjiefstathiou (for bringing Kostas from Larnaka)

We would like to thank all those that attended and those that could not
make it. The next Release Party is going to happen somewhere in
November probably in Nicosia.

FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE Available

2009-05-03T23:42:53Z

Freebsd 7.2 is out!

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Ken Smith <[hidden email]>
Date: 2009/5/4
Subject: [FreeBSD-Announce] FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE Available
To: [hidden email]

The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability
of FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE. This is the third release from the 7-STABLE branch
which improves on the functionality of FreeBSD 7.1 and introduces some
new features. Some of the highlights:

- support for fully transparent use of superpages for
application memory
- support for multiple IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for jails
- csup(1) now supports CVSMode to fetch a complete CVS repository
- Gnome updated to 2.26, KDE updated to 4.2.2
- sparc64 now supports UltraSparc-III processors

For a complete list of new features and known problems, please see the
online release notes and errata list, available at:

http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/7.2R/relnotes.html
http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/7.2R/errata.html

For more information about FreeBSD release engineering activities,
please see:

http://www.FreeBSD.org/releng/

Availability
-------------

FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE is now available for the amd64, i386, ia64, pc98,
powerpc, and sparc64 architectures.

FreeBSD 7.2 can be installed from bootable ISO images or over the network;
the required files can be downloaded via FTP or BitTorrent as described in
the sections below. While some of the smaller FTP mirrors may not carry all
architectures, they will all generally contain the more common ones, such as
i386 and amd64.

MD5 and SHA256 hashes for the release ISO images are included at the
bottom of this message.

The purpose of the ISO images provided as part of the release are as
follows:

dvd1: This contains everything necessary to install the base FreeBSD
operating system, a collection of pre-built packages, and the
documentation. It also supports booting into a "livefs" based
rescue mode. This should be all you need if you can burn
and use DVD-sized media.

disc1, disc2, disc3, livefs, docs: disc1 contains the base FreeBSD
operating system and a few pre-built packages. disc2 and disc3
contain more pre-built packages. Those three can be burned to CDROM
sized media and should be all you need to do a normal installation.
livefs contains support for booting into a "livefs" based
rescue mode but does not support doing an install from the
CD itself. You would need to perform a network based install.
docs contains the documentation.

bootonly: This supports booting a machine using the CDROM drive but
does not contain the support for installing FreeBSD from the
CD itself. You would need to perform a network based install
(e.g. from an FTP server) after booting from the CD.

Note: late in the testing cycle it was discovered some machines do not
recognize the i386 disc1 as bootable (they just fall through to booting
off the next boot device). All affected machines did see the other discs
as bootable. If you have a machine with that problem booting off either
bootonly or livefs and then swapping in disc1 once sysinstall starts
should work.

FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE can also be purchased on CD-ROM or DVD from several
vendors. One of the vendors that will be offering FreeBSD 7.2-based
products is:

~ FreeBSD Mall, Inc. http://www.freebsdmall.com/

BitTorrent
----------

7.2-RELEASE ISOs are available via BitTorrent. A collection of torrent
files to download the images is available at:

http://torrents.freebsd.org:8080/

Updates from Source
-------------------

The procedure for doing a source code based update is described in the
FreeBSD Handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/synching.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html

The branch tag to use for updating the source is RELENG_7_2.

FreeBSD Update
--------------

The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64
systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 7.0-RELEASE,
7.1-RELEASE, 7.2-BETA, 7.2-RC1, or 7.2-RC2 can upgrade as follows:

# freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.2-RELEASE

During this process, FreeBSD Update may ask the user to help by merging
some configuration files or by confirming that the automatically performed
merging was done correctly.

# freebsd-update install

The system must be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before continuing.

# shutdown -r now

After rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to install the new
userland components, and the system needs to be rebooted again:

# freebsd-update install
# shutdown -r now

Users of earlier FreeBSD releases (FreeBSD 6.x) can also use freebsd-update to
upgrade to FreeBSD 7.2, but will be prompted to rebuild all third-party
applications (e.g., anything installed from the ports tree) after the second
invocation of "freebsd-update install", in order to handle differences in the
system libraries between FreeBSD 6.x and FreeBSD 7.x.

For more information about upgrading from FreeBSD 6.x using FreeBSD
Update, see:

http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2007-11-11-freebsd-major-version-upgrade.html

Support
-------

The FreeBSD Security Team currently plans to support FreeBSD 7.2 until
May 31st, 2010. For more information on the Security Team and
their support of the various FreeBSD branches see:

Hello and welcome to another opportunity to show our commitment to open source!

As promised, I am asking you (yes, all of you) to post what you have
done to help the open source community - in ANY WAY possible! We'll be
posting YOUR news in the detailed long version of the monthly
report (PDF) - we can pretty much place any activity you may have done
during this past month.

On to the critical parts:
- What is considered as a contribution?
Anything you may have done that includes (or is) open source, real-life or not!
Simple real-life things do matter, like "I persuaded and invited 5
people to attend *this* open-source event", or "I presented and
installed ubuntu to two friends of mine".
Surely I bet that the whole team would love to hear about your
personal accomplishments!

Just reply here and I'll gather them properly!

- Rules? We rule!! :-)
