Atlanta Linux Showcase, in cooperation with Linux International
LINUX ENTHUSIASTS AND PROFESSIONALS: The highlight of this year's Linux
community calendar is undoubtably the Annual Linux Showcase and Conference.
Now in its fourth year, ALS is specifically designed for the Linux
enthusiast, with an emphasis on high-caliber technical knowledge. This
conference is developed by a volunteer community of computing professionals
and by USENIX, a not-for-profit technical association respected for its
tradition of in-depth technical conferences.
ALS 2000 promises to be the biggest event in ALS history, expanding its
technical program to include more tutorials, refereed papers, invited
talks, Birds-of-a-Feather sessions, hothouses, and opportunities for
informal discussions with Linux experts, professionals, and vendors. The
conference includes a three-day vendor exhibition in which more than 80
companies will showcase their latest products and services.
We are currently seeking submissions for Technical White Papers,
Works-In-Progress Reports, Talks/Panel Session proposals, and Tutorial
presentation proposals for this event. Suggested topics include discussions
on the development of Linux and Open Source platforms, applications and
tools as well as the implementation, maintenance and growth of Linux
systems in small and large environments. Detailed topic suggestions and
submission guidelines can be found on our website:

Subject: Crystal Space 0.15r002 Open Source 3D SDK
Date: Tue, 29 Feb 2000 22:54:24 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Here is a new beta release of Crystal Space (0.15r002).
This beta release corresponds to a CVS snapshot of 23 February 2000.
Note that this is a beta release. We don't make any guarantees about
anything. We have done some work to ensure that it should work but
there are obviously many known (and unknown) bugs.
However, personally I'm feeling reasonably confident about the state
of this release. There should be no fundamental problems with it and
many people are actually using it already now for their projects.
Crystal Space is Open Source. Already 88 people have contributed in
minor and major ways. I can always use more developers. So if you feel you
have something to add to Crystal Space then mail me.
Check out http://crystal.linuxgames.com for more information and to
download the source. You can also view screenshots there. We are also
hosted on http://sourceforge.net now (for CVS and mailing list).
Crystal Space is an Open Source 3D SDK. It contains the following
large sub-parts:
- engine: the 3D engine itself (more on its features below).
- rasterizer: a 3D rasterizer subsystem. Currently there is support
for OpenGL, Direct3D, Glide, and software rendering
through different instantiations of cs3d.
- csgame: a game library written on top of Crystal Space engine.
This game library is written specifically with
FPS type games in mind.
- csclear: a game component library written on top of Crystal Space.
This extra layer is more general than csgame but probably
less complete.
- physics library: a full features physics library that uses CS.
- textures: a library to load verious types of graphics textures
(PNG, GIF, JPG, BMP, TGA, ...)
- sound: 3D and 2D sound library including libraries to load
various types of sound files.
- networking: low-level networking support.
- window system: a GUI system specifically for CS.
And also a few other smaller libraries (utility library, geometry
library, ...)

Subject: rp-pppoe 1.5 -- Robust PPPoE client for Linux
Date: Tue, 29 Feb 2000 22:52:09 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Version 1.5 of rp-pppoe has been released.
rp-pppoe is a user-mode client for the Point-to-Point Protocol over
Ethernet, a protocol used by many ADSL service providers. It runs with
standard Linux kernels (2.0 or 2.2; no kernel modification required.)
I'm pleased to announce the release of version 1.5 of my Linux PPPoE
client.
Changes:
- - Compilation problem on older systems fixed.
- - adsl-start and adsl-connect scripts accept from 1 to 3 arguments
(details in the man pages) as requested by Jean-Michel Dault, the author
of a linuxconf module.
- - The pppoe.conf file has its own man page.
- - By default, "adsl-start" waits for a new PPP interface to appear
before returning to the caller.
- - Even easier installation and configuration -- it's a three-step
process now:
tar xvfz rp-pppoe-1.5.tar.gz
cd rp-pppoe-1.5
./go
Grab it at:
http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe.html
Regards,
David.
