Zentrale Adress- und Terminverwaltung

by Andreas Grassl

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hallo, ein Kollege hat mich gestern um meine Meinung bei einem Netzwerkproblem gefragt. Sie betreiben ein Netzwerk mit ca. 5 Computern. Internet läuft einfach über einen Router, die Mails werden aber zentral an einem Suse-Server gesammelt, dort stehen dann auch Samba-Freigaben zur Verfügung, die in den Windows-Clients als Netzlaufwerke eingebunden werden. Der Server besorgt dann auch das Backup. Die Leute stehen nun vor dem Problem, dass sie eine zentrale Adress- und Terminverwaltung haben möchten. Ihr "Computerfritze", der ihnen nach einem Systemcrash den Suse-Server eingerichtet hat und das Backup aufgebaut hat, der hat ihnen ein Angebot mit einem neuen Server und 5 "gratis" Exchange-Lizenzen angeboten, da ihm unter Linux so auf Anhieb keine Lösung eingefallen ist. Ich habe mich jetzt ein wenig umgeschaut und Openexchange bzw. courier oder clientseitig evolution gefunden, das die Bedürfnisse abdecken könnte, aber ich habe keine Erfahrung mit diesen Dingen und eine vollständige Migration nach Linux wäre evtl. erst mittelfristig eine Lösung. Hat jemand einen Hinweis wie man die Adressen und die Arbeitseinteilung bzw. die Terminverwaltung zentral nachrüsten könnte? dankeschön grüsse ando - -- /~\ \ / ASCII Ribbon X against HTML email / \ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iQCVAwUBRkXC4yxC7ZRV6mG1AQLYfwP8D/OjfNC95NWf9lXH9uu3vT/p2raUwOV5 a4YTSxsPfqIy1uoRrpE+PDED93vgI2TlQtDBqwfDUrk1QpMwggA8FPsrTJotgJsF uzc75erPaG6uTvrH2flNFFmO/9ExODjwkWmJRJgzjwnUd0AETiqUI16IUskILJO9 PxKBDzjMTrI= =OkFy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

bluetooth on kubuntu feisty

by Andrea Antonello

Ciao a tutti, da quando ho fatto l'upgrade via apt-get all'ultima ubuntu, non mi funzia piu' il bluetooth. L'riconosce il hardware, ma non riesce a inizializzarlo (parola scelta quasi a caso, visto che non so bene in cosa fallisca esattamente). L'errore che mi mostra in un gentile popup e': "Failed to connect to the SDP server. Please make sure that sdpd is running; without it, other devices will not be able to find out which services your computer offers." Effettivamente sdp non runna, ma quando cerco sdpd per lanciarlo, mi accorgo tragicamente che non pare esistere piu'. Una volta stava nelle bluez-utils. Qualcuno ha la soluzione? Ciao Andrea

BIT Seminar at the Free University of Bolzano-Bozen

by Russo Barbara (P)

31.05.07, 14:00 - Faculty of Computer Science, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Piazza Domenicani 3, Bozen-Bolzano, Seminar Room (first floor left) Outsourcing to an Unknown Workforce: Exploring Opensourcing as Offshore Sourcing Practice BIT Prof. Brian Fitzgerald -- University of Limerick <http://www.unibz.it/printerversions/newsfull.html?LanguageID=EN&content id=4811&pageid=7&PV=TRUE&SHOW_CMD=FALSE> BIT Prof. Brian Fitzgerald -- University of Limerick Abstract This seminar presents a psychological contract perspective on the use of the open source development model as an offshore outsourcing practice - opensourcing as we term it here - whereby commercial companies and open source communities collaborate on development of software of commercial interest to the company. Building on previous research on IS outsourcing, a theoretical framework for exploring the opensourcing phenomenon is derived. The first phase of the research concerned qualitative case studies involving three commercial organizations (IONA Technologies, Philips Medical Systems and Telefonica) who had 'liberated' what had hitherto been proprietary software and sought to grow a global open source community around their product. We followed this with a large-scale survey involving additional exemplars of the phenomenon. The study identifies a number of symmetrical and complementary customer and community obligations which are associated with opensourcing success. We also identify a number of tension points on which customer and community perceptions tend to vary. Overall the key watchwords for opensourcing are openness, trust, tact, professionalism, transparency and complementariness: The customer and community need to establish a trusted partnership of shared responsibility in building an overall opensourcing ecosystem. The study reveals an ongoing shift from OSS as community of individual developers to OSS as community of commercial organizations, primarily small to medium-sized enterprises. It also reveals that opensourcing provides ample opportunity for companies to headhunt top developers - hence moving from outsourcing to a largely unknown OSS workforce towards recruitment of developers from a global open source community whose talents have become known as a result of the opensourcing experience.

[FC Seminar series at UniBz] - Seminar of Martin Rinard , 6th of June 2007, 14:00-15:00

by Russo Barbara (P)

I am pleased to invite you to the following seminar of the Faculty of Computer Science of Bolzano-Bozen. The seminar takes place at P.za Sernesi, 1, room D101 For the complete list of the Faculty Seminar Series 2006/2007 and additional information on how to reach us, please visit the web site http://www.unibz.it/inf/facultyseminarseries2007majorevents/index.html?L anguageID=EN <http://www.unibz.it/inf/facultyseminarseries2007majorevents/index.html? LanguageID=EN> 06.06.07, 14:00-15:00 - Faculty of Computer Science, Free University of Bolzano-Bozen, P.za Sernesi, 1, room D101 http://www.unibz.it/images/template/1pixel.gif<outbind://41/cid:image007 .png(a)01C79EB7.0535BC80> Eliminating Fatal Errors in Software Systems Martin Rinard <http://www.unibz.it/printerversions/newsfull.html?LanguageID=EN&content id=4688&pageid=45&PV=TRUE&SHOW_CMD=FALSE> Martin Rinard - Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory Massachusetts Institute of Technology Abstract: I will present a set of simple techniques that enable software systems to survive otherwise fatal errors. The goal is to enable systems to execute through such errors, potentially with degraded functionality, to continue to serve the needs of their users. I will first address techniques for eliminating resource consumption errors such as memory leaks, file handle leaks, infinite loops, and infinite recursions. Our experimental results show that our techniques eliminate resource consumption errors in widely used programs such as Squid, Pine, and xinetd. I will also discuss failure-oblivious computing, a technique for ignoring memory addressing errors. A system that uses failure-oblivious computing checks each memory access to discard out of bounds writes and manufacture values for out of bounds reads. Our experimental results show that this technique eliminates buffer-overflow security vulnerabilities and enables widely used servers such as Apache, Pine, and Sendmail to continue to execute successfully through otherwise fatal memory errors. All of these techniques are simple to implement and deploy. They do, however, perturb the standard programming language semantics and introduce the possibility of taking the software down unanticipated execution paths. As such, they represent a significant departure from standard approaches. I will briefly discuss the benefits and risks of adopting such techniques. CV: Martin Rinard is a Professor in the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and a member of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. His research interests include parallel and distributed computing, programming languages, program analysis, program verification, and software engineering. Much of his current research focuses on techniques that enable software systems to execute successfully in spite of the presence of errors. Results in this area include acceptability-oriented computing (a framework for ensuring that software systems satisfy basic acceptability properties), failure-oblivious computing (a technique for enabling programs to execute successfully through otherwise fatal memory addressing errors), and a technique for providing probabilistic bounds on the accuracy of program outputs in the presence of failures.

perdere la home per strada...

by Andrea Antonello

Ciao a tutti, ho un problema che mi arriva di riflesso e non so proprio dove sbattere la testa. A un amico un programma a messo in freeze il pc (ubuntu (Davide, smettila di ridere :))) e ha dovuto riavviare con forza bruta. Al riavvio si e' trovato la propria home (quindi solo la home utente) semivuota. Tutte le cartelle erano scomparse e quelle rimaste erano vuote. Un incubo! Gli ho proposto di fare un fsck e il disco sembra non avere problemi apparenti o almeno non riconoscibili dal fsck. Non ne so molto di sistemia, quindi confido in qualche anima pia che abbia qualche idea piu' o meno esotica oltre al mio tentativo. A parte la disperazione, al mio amico rimangono speranze? Grazie, Ciao Andrea

Neue Welle gegen "Freie Software"

by Pfeifer, Erwin

Microsoft reitet zurzeit zwei Wellen gegen "Freie Software" und speziell gegen Linux: a) Freie Software ist nur ein Mythos: "The Free Software movement is dead," (Bill Hilf, Microsoft Platform Strategy Director, former IBM's Linux strategy chief): http://www.windowsitpro.com/windowspaulthurrott/Article/ArticleID/96039/win… IMHO: Die "Puristen" haben immer schon vor der Umgarnung der freien Software mit Geschäftsinteressen von ökonomischen Riesen wie IBM, Oracle, Novell, Sun... gewarnt. Diese Abhängigkeit lässt die anfängliche Idee verblassen, macht aber die Produkte auch reifer. Etwas Wahres ist schon daran, aber wichtig bleibt einfach, dass die Software "frei" bleibt. b) Freie Software (speziell OOo und Linux) verletzt Patente: http://www.tech.it/contnews.asp?id=205 IMHO: Könnte immer noch reiner FUD sein, aber wie mir scheint, Microsoft schlägt wirklich den rechtlichen Weg ein. Ist eine gewaltige Prüfung für die Bewegung. Grüsse Erwin

Wenn dem so wäre, dann tut jede Konkurrenz weh. An dem Tag wo der Support für ältere Microsoft Systeme eingestellt wird, steht der Benutzer vor einem Problem: entweder Vista oder, wenn es keine Alternative gibt und die Pflege der Vorgänger - aus welchem Grund auch immer - eingestellt wird, eben Vista, weil es nichts anderes gibt. Aber möglicherweise sehe ich das wirklich völlig verkehrt :) Grüße Luigi
