Going back to 1993\, BackP AN has about 100\,000 distributions\, taking up 12 GB of space. So far\, there has not been a comprehensive index of all of these distributions. I'm working on a project to go through each distribution\, record as mu ch information as I can\, and store that in a way that other people can ask questions. The big goal now is to take any Perl module file you have installed locally and query my index to determine exactly which distrib ution it came from\, when it was released\, what other files came with i t\, and at the time of it's release what its dependency list was. \;\ n \;\nMy talk is a demonstration of what I have so far\, which is sti ll in the data collection phase. I have an indexer that knows how to go through distributions and record information\, and can do some with plug gable components for each portion of the work. In my talk\, I'll demonst rate the current indexer and talk a little bit about the tools and techn iques I use. There's plenty of cool Perl things going on\, and I'm sure some of the Linux people will have valuable comments about software inde xing.\n\nTags: plug\, linux\, perl\n\nImported from: http://calagator.or g/events/1250455741 SUMMARY:PLUG/Perl: Indexing CPAN LOCATION:Jax Bar (CLOSED): 826 SW 2nd Avenue\, Portland Oregon 97204 US SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20081103T092442Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20081106T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20081106T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20081103T092442Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20081103T195105Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250456081 DESCRIPTION:Kirk Harr will speak on "\;LANs\, iptables\, routing\, an d more"\;\n\nTags: community\, plug\n\nImported from: http://calagat or.org/events/1250456081 URL:http://pdxLinux.org SUMMARY:PLUG: LANs\, iptables\, routing\, and more LOCATION:Portland State University Engineering Building: 1930 SW 4th Ave\ , Portland Oregon 97201 US SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20080905T022257Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20081119T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20081119T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20080905T022257Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20081118T073111Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250455683 DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Russell Senior \;\nTopic: OpenWrt - It's not j ust for Linksys Routers anymore \;\n \;\nRussell has been fiddling around with OpenWrt for a couple years\, on \;\nvarious platforms.

However\, once the \;\n software is in the end user’s hands\, postmortem crash info rmation \;\n is usually lost. \;\n \;\n By taking the Google Breakpad project and enhancing it with \;\n Mozilla’s own Socorro project\, Mozilla has a solution to this problem. \;\n When Firefox goes down\, in a last ditch effort\, it lobs a \;\n packet of crash information over the wall to Mozilla's Socorro \;\ n servers. Socorro Servers\, written in Python\, can handle million s \;\n of these crashes per day. Using Google Breakpad libraries to \;\n reconstitute useful stack traces\, Socorro Server saves its \;\n work in a PostgreSQL database.

Mainlin e in the Linux kernel since 2.6.33\, it is used to replicate data at the block level over the network in a "\;network RAID1"\; fashion. It is generally deployed as a cost effective\, shared-nothing alternat ive to a SAN and used as the building block for high availability cluste rs. Pacemaker is currently the de facto open-source cluster resource man ager (CRM) for Linux HA clustering. With it\, nodes and services can b e monitored and managed to ensure maximum uptime in the face of the most severe service and hardware level failures. Combining the two allows a dmins to %99.999 uptime at a fraction of the price of proprietary altern atives. \;\n \;\nIn LINBIT's second PLUG Advance Topics installmen t\, Adam Gandelman will give a more in-depth view of DRBD and Pacemaker and demonstrate how they work closely together to keep applications runn ing and consistent. During the second half of the presentation\, Adam w ill provide attendees with a real-world example by configuring a highly- available LAMP cluster from the ground up. Though geared toward web serv ices\, the concepts presented can easily be expanded to provide the HA g aurantee to virtually any Linux service. \;\n \;\nAgenda: - Brief re-introduction to DRBD\, Pacemaker and HA clustering concepts. - Overvi ew of various use cases and interesting deployments - Configuration and implementation of a highly-available LAMP cluster using DRBD for data re dundancy and Pacemaker for resource management. \;\n \;\nAdam Gand elman is an expert in open-source clustering and high availability. Orig inally from New England\, Adam lives in Portland\, OR where he has been working at LINBIT\, developers of DRBD and maintainers of Heartbeat.

However\, recent for-profit corporate interest in Free S oftware development has led to a renewed preference toward non-copyleft licensing by for-profit entities. Meanwhile\, many for-profit entities t hat do use copyleft for their own software now do so in a manner that mo st copyleft aficionados find\, at best\, distasteful and at worst\, abus ive. \;\n \;\nA long-standing truce exists in our community betwee n fans of non-copyleft licensing and copyleft. No one in the copyleft co mmunities disputes that non-copylefted Free Software is an important par t of our community. However\, copyleft faces new challenges that make pa st debates about the appropriateness of copyleft seem quite minor by com parison. \;\n \;\nThis talk will discuss all aspects of the compli cated situation facing copyleft\, including younger developers apparent preference for non-copyleft licensing (as expressed\, in part\, [in the "\;post-open source"\; debates](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pos t_Open_Source))\, the widespread and common failures for companies to co mply with GPL's relatively easy requirements\, and how licensing choices are today\, unlike in the past\, rarely in the hands of individual deve lopers\, but instead their corporate employers. \;\n \;\n \;\nB radley M. Kuhn is the President and Distinguished Technologist at Softwa re Freedom Conservancy (sfconservancy.org) and on the Board of Directors of the Free Software Foundation (FSF). Kuhn began his work in the softw are freedom movement as a volunteer in 1992\, when he became an early ad opter of the GNU/Linux operating system\, and began contributing to vari ous FLOSS projects. He worked during the 1990s as a system administrator and software developer for various companies\, and taught AP Computer S cience at Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati. Kuhn's non-profit care er began in 2000\, when he was hired by the FSF. As FSF's Executive Dire ctor from 2001–2005\, Kuhn led FSF's GPL enforcement\, launched its Asso ciate Member program\, and invented the Affero GPL. From 2005-2010\, Kuh n worked as the Policy Analyst and Technology Director of the Software F reedom Law Center. Kuhn was the primary volunteer for Conservancy from 2 006–2010\, and has been a full-time staffer since early 2011. Kuhn holds a summa cum laude B.S. in Computer Science from Loyola University in Ma ryland\, and an M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Cincinna ti.

The two technologies are in fact becoming inextricable now that computer s control virtually every electrical system from the distribution grids on up\, and computers themselves are completely dependent on electricity to operate. Both technologies have undergone countless innovations yet still operate largely on their original basic principles. While high in capacity\, fast and affordable\, the modern hardware block storage devic e or “hard disk” operates on the same principles as the original 1956 IB M 350 disk storage unit and most solid-state alternatives emulate hard d isks. Beginning with the Berkeley Fast File System\, the BSD family of o perating systems has played a key role in the evolution of general purpo se block storage and continues this innovation with technologies like vi rtual block storage devices\, GEOM\, UFS2\, ZFS\, GELI\, HAST\, GEOM Jou rnaling\, FUSE\, tmpfs and the NAND Flash framework. This paper will sur vey the available block device options in the FreeBSD operating system a nd explore their practical uses in modern storage architectures. \;\n \;\nFreeBSD is unique in that it provides the reference platform for the Unix File System and is now a tier one Zettabyte File System or ZFS platform. The 10.0 release of FreeBSD is particularly unique in that it includes in-kernel iSCSI network block device sharing\, the NAND Flash framework\, a FUSE implementation and the bhyve hypervisor which can lev erage and help test most FreeBSD storage technologies. The FreeBSD ports collection also includes support for guest file systems such as ext2 an d NTFS\, which provide new opportunities to "\;round trip"\; vir tual and physical machines using bhyve and tools such as the iBFT iSCSI boot framework. \;\n \;\nFinally\, while an unprecedented block st orage toolkit can enable extensive experimentation\, there are pragmatic issues surrounding production storage architectures. This paper will to uch on real world block storage solutions built with FreeBSD and its der ivatives. These derivatives include the FreeNAS storage appliance\, whic h provides networked block and file storage to a myriad of Unix and non- Unix clients. Pragmatic issues surrounding verifiable data integrity inc lude: understanding and embracing ZFS behavior and limits\, observing di sk and partition health in addition to data integrity\, understanding th e implications of file naming\, maintaining backups and restoring desire d data in a timely manner. \;\n \;\nMany will head to the Lucky L ab at 1945 NW Quimby St. after the meeting. \;\n \;\nRideshares Av ailable \;\n \;\nPLUG Page with information about all PLUG events: http://pdxlinux.org/ \;\nFollow PLUG on Twitter: http://twitter.com/ pdxlinux \;\n \;\nPLUG is open to everyone and does not tolerate a busive behavior on its mailing lists or at its meetings.\n\nTags: beer\, linux\, networking\, plug\, education\, unix\, bsd\, devops\, open sour ce\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250467959 URL:http://pdxlinux.org SUMMARY:Portland Linux/Unix Group: Block Storage Device Life Cycles LOCATION:PSU Maseeh Engineering Building: 1930 SW 4th Avenue\, Portland O R 97201 US SEQUENCE:3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150311T214011Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150519T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150519T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150311T214011Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150311T214011Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250468045 DESCRIPTION:PLUG Advanced Topics \;\n \;\nWho: Brian Martin \;\n What: Life of (Raspberry) Pi \;\nWhere: Free Geek\, 1731 SE 10th Aven ue\, Portland (Left Entrance) \;\nWhen: Tuesday\, May 19st\, 2015 at 7pm \;\nWhy: The pursuit of technology freedom \;\nStream: http:// pdxlinux.org/live \;\n \;\nLearn: \;\n \;\n* How to assemble and configure a Raspberry Pi \;\n* How to use it as a remote desktop client \;\n* How to configure it to use an NFS-provided root file sy stem \;\n* and How to share the same root file system with multiple R aspberry Pi's \;\n \;\nIn this meeting Brian will be discussing hi s recent experiences using the Raspberry Pi to meet personal and busines s needs.

Systems that can aid local populations in their underst anding of environmental and climate changes and help them deal with thos e changes. Our systems are aimed at the area that is the difference betw een today's weather and long-term climate changes ahead. These systems a re designed to be the “last mile” of climate change monitoring\, allowin g local communities around the world to monitor their climate and take s teps to mitigate changes. The systems will be owned and run by these com munities with limited outside technical support\, and can either stand a lone or be tied together into an ad-hoc network similar to a small netwo rk of cellphone towers. Using our system to ask three questions: What is happening to our climate and environment? What does it mean? And what c an we do about it? The hard data collected from the system\, leaders in communities can begin planning how they will adapt and stay in place in their decision-making process. The GMIBS-Project will design\, develop\, and produce low-cost systems to aid local groups efforts to monitor and mitigate climate change.

The fact that I have been able to get this pro ject functional to any degree is a great credit to the FLO (Free/Libre/O pen Source) community.

Or how many times you have had to up grade Firefox? \;\n \;\nThe Linux Changelog Project is an attempt to present statistics for the development and maintenance of Linux Distr ibutions based on publicly available changelog data. By creating a distr o-agnostic view of all changelog updates for a given project\, we can se e how the size and activity of a given distribution compares to its peer s. At the moment only Fedora and Slackware are supported\, but over time more distributions will be added. The end goal is to provide a web inte rface that will allow people to search for and browse the millions of pa ckage updates across all major Linux distributions. \;\n \;\nAs so meone who is largely self-taught in the world of GNU/Linux\, projects li ke this are how I learn about the Linux ecosystem and practice skills th at I apply to my career in IT support. While my experience goes all the way back to the dark days of HAL I'm still surprised by what I find hidi ng in the various corners of the Linux world. Working with the changelog formats of different distributions has challenged hat I thought I knew\ , and I hope other users (new and old) will find it interesting as well. \n\nTags: plug\, linux\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/125 0481105 URL:https://pdxlinux.org/ SUMMARY:Portland Linux/Unix Group General Monthly Meeting: Ben Koenig on a Linux Changelog LOCATION:Oregon Latvian Community Center: 5500 SW Dosch Road\, Portland O R 97239 USA SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240928T024147Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20241003T203000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20241003T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240928T024147Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240928T024147Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250481330 DESCRIPTION:There are many commercial wifi access point (AP) controller s etups\, ie a single management interface to control multiple APs.

It a ims to demystify the core concepts behind Nix\, outline how its model di ffers from traditional package management\, and explore practical use ca ses like reproducible dev environments\, system configuration\, and mult i-machine deployments. \;\n \;\nAlong the way\, we’ll discuss the tradeoffs involved in adopting Nix—from cognitive overhead to ecosystem maturity—and help you determine whether Nix or NixOS might be a good\, g reat\, or downright painful choice for your use case.

This tal k shares lessons from using AI on two Linux \;\nnetworking projects: DPDK and iproute2. \;\n \;\nThe good: documentation\, test writing \, and debugging. The bad: awkward code \;\nsuggestions\, formatting errors\, and false positives in code reviews. The \;\nugly: trying to get AI to write new features like RSTP or FQ-CoDel — after \;\ntoo m any failed attempts\, I gave up and moved on to more useful things. \ ;\n \;\nA frank look at where AI helps\, where it wastes your time\, and what to \;\nwatch out for. \;\n \;\nBio: \;\n \;\nSte phen Hemminger is a longtime Linux kernel networking developer\, \;\n maintainer of iproute2\, and contributor to DPDK.
