Colorado Linux Info Quest - CLIQ
http://thecliq.org
CLIQ 2001 Signs David L. Sifry, CTO of Linuxcare, as keynote speaker along
with new corporate sponsor Hewlett Packard
Sifry and HP join with corporate sponsors tummy.com, LWN.net, SGI, and
Compaq, advertising sponsors Linux Journal and Linux Magazine, area Linux
user groups, and a host of talented and well known speakers to host the
Rocky Mountain regions premiere Linux conference and exhibit.
Denver, CO (March 1, 2001) -- The Colorado Linux Info Quest (CLIQ) board of
directors is pleased to announce the signing of David L. Sifry, Chief
Technology Officer of Linuxcare, as our keynote speaker. Sifry brings his
technical expertise, engaging personality and survival instincts from a
company that has beaten the odds to become a top tier provider of software
and services for the Linux industry.
Along with Sifry, CLIQ is proud to announce the signing of their fifth top
level sponsor for this event: Hewlett Packard. Located in Ft. Collins,
HP's Linux Development Center is the focus of all Linux development for
this technology giant.
"I'm honored that CLIQ has asked me to keynote," noted Sifry in an email
interview. "CLIQ is known for its high quality speakers and interesting
attendees. Events like this show that even with the massive increase in
corporate interest of Linux and open-source software, many of the major
innovations are still coming out of the grass-roots community that gave
birth to this movement, and that the revolution is not only alive, but it
is growing.
Alan Meyer, R&D Manager for Linux Kernel Development in the Linux Systems
Operation of Hewlett Packard says HP is pleased to be a top level sponsor
for this year's event.
"There is a tremendous amount of Linux activity within Colorado, and CLIQ
is playing a vital role in creating a local forum for sharing information.
With HP's Linux Systems Operation based in Fort Collins, we are pleased to
support the efforts of CLIQ, and look forward to participating in the 2001
event."
In another recent news, CLIQ 2001 sponsor Compaq has announced that they
will be demonstration a Proliant/Linux high availability Steeleye Cluster
in their booth (Booth A1, at the front door of the exhibit). Stop by and
see a Linux cluster at work! Compaq is also providing flat-panel client
systems and an Alpha server for use with the CLIQ designed and built
exhibitor and attendee registration system.
Hotel discount deadline looms
The Denver Marriott Tech Center has given us a March 15th deadline for
attendees to get the $79/night discount for CLIQ 2001. If you plan on
staying at the hotel you'll need to make your reservations before March
15th. Call the Marriott reservations center at 303-779-1100, tell them

CLIQ 2001 Speaker Lineup
This years event includes noted speakers such as Scott Draeker of Loki
Entertainment Software, Andy Hertzfeld of Eazel, Havoc Pennington of Red
Hat and the GNOME Foundation, Kurt Granroth of KDE and John Lasser, author
of the book "Think Unix." One of the major events of the show this year
will be the Desktop Panel discussion, where representatives from GNOME,
KDE, Eazel, Linuxcare, and XFree86/VA Linux will talk about the present and
future of the Linux desktop as well as take questions from the audience.
The current set of invited talks includes the following:
Keynote David A. Sifry, CTO of Linuxcare.
Bio: David Sifry, Linuxcare co-founder, is a recognized expert on
open-source development and the Linux operating system. Himself an
open-source developer, Sifry has contributed code to such projects as
GNU Emacs, Majordomo, packetrace, jitterbug, and to the Linux kernel
itself. In addition, he managed the development of SecureVPS, an
open-source virtual private networking server for Linux. He is
currently the architect and lead developer of GCTP, the Group
Calendaring Transport Protocol, and OpenFlock, an open-source
implementation of a GCTP server. His service to the Linux community
includes membership on the Board of Directors of Linux International
and the vice-presidency of the Bay Area Linux Users Group (BALUG). He
has served as an advisor on free software matters for companies
including Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, and IBM.
* Business Track
1. Commercially-developed games -- Scott Draeker, Co-founder and CEO
of Loki Entertainment Software
2. The State of Embedded Linux, Rick Lehrbaum, Founder,
LinuxDevices.com
2000 will probably be remembered as the year Linux
became known for being the fastest growing operating
system for servers -- threatening Microsoft's position
in the enterprise market. 2001, on the other hand, may
well be the year Linux finds its way into thousands of
embedded systems and intelligent products, challenging
the established order in the embedded software market.
In this talk, Rick Lehrbaum will explain why Linux is
ideal for embedded applications, give some examples of
"cool devices" with Linux inside, review the results of
recent market surveys conducted by LinuxDevices.com,
and make some predictions about the growth of Embedded
Linux over the next few years.
Bio: Rick Lehrbaum created the LinuxDevices.com "embedded Linux
portal", which is now part of the ZDNet Linux Resource Center.
Rick has worked in the field of embedded systems since 1979. He
co-founded Ampro Computers, founded the PC/104 Consortium, and
was instrumental in launching the Embedded Linux Consortium.
3. Return on Investment in the Open Source Movement, Patrick
Lannigan, VP of Business Development, NuSphere
Bio: Patrick has 20 years experience in the computer industry and
has worked for Oracle, Powersoft/Sybase, InSystems, AT&T and
Concurrent Computer Corporation, in a variety of capacities
including technical support, pre-sales, sales, teaching,
marketing and business development. Prior to joining NuSphere,
Patrick Lannigan was the Director of Business Development for
Progress Software, focused on merger and acquisition
opportunities. Patrick first joined Progress in 1990. Since 1996
Patrick has tracked the advancements of open source technologies
such as Linux, Perl, Apache and PHP. It was the discovery and use
of MySQL, however, that enabled him to form a complete vision for
a business centered around open source technology that could also
leverage the core competency of Progress Software.
* Desktop Track
1. Introduction to the Linux Command Line; Jon Lasser, author of
"Think Unix".
Although GNOME and KDE have made it easier to use
Linux, the real power of Linux is in its command line.
This talk will introduce the basics of the Linux
command line and provide a tantalizing taste of its
possibilities. Topics covered will include a brief
introduction to 'man pages,' the standard Unix
documentation; navigating the command line; and
redirection and pipes.
Bio: Jon Lasser is Senior Systems Administrator at
SkyNetWEB-Affinity, columnist for Web Hosting magazine, and the
author of Think Unix (2000, Que), an introduction to Linux and
Unix for power users. He has been involved with Linux and Unix
since 1993 and is lead coordinator for the Bastille Linux
project. He lives in Baltimore, Maryland with his wife Kathleen
and their three cats. See the Slashdot review of Jon's text.
2. Panel discussion on the Linux desktop; An open-floor discussion
on the state of the Linux desktop: where is it, where is it
headed, what's missing, and what's cool. Panelists include:
1. Andy Hertzfeld, Software Wizard and Cofounder of Eazel, Inc.
(or possibly another Eazel representative)
2. Havoc Pennington, GNOME Foundation Chair who works at Red
Hat and is one of the lead developers for the GNOME and GTK+
projects
3. Daryll Strauss, Multimedia and Graphics Engineering Practice
Lead at VA Linux Systems
4. Kurt Granroth, KDE Core Developer/Evangelist, SuSE Labs
5. Dave Desrosiers, Linuxcare
3. An Introduction to the GNOME and KDE Desktops; Havoc Pennington,
GNOME Foundation and Kurt Granroth, KDE
Bios: Havoc Pennington is the Chair of the GNOME Foundation Board
of Directors and a long-time contributor to the GNOME Project. He
maintains the GConf configuration library and currently spends
most of his time hacking on the GTK+ GUI toolkit. Havoc is the
author of the book "GTK+/GNOME Application Development" and works
as a developer for Red Hat, Inc.
Kurt Granroth is a KDE Core Developer and a long time Linux user.
He is responsible for doing anything that needs to be done to
ensure that is KDE the best application development platform in
the world. His job as an Open Source developer for the SuSE Labs
gives him the freedom to do just that. These tasks range from
being president of KDE e.V. and organizing the KDE League to
press interviews and contacts to library and core infrastructure
development to website development and everything in between.
Kurt has been a Linux user since 1994 and graduated from Michigan
Technological University with a BSCS.
* Development Track
1. Porting Debian to PA-RISC and IA-64; Bdale Garbee, Debian
Porting Linux to a new CPU architecture is an
interesting mix of exasperation and the joy of
discovery. To deliver a complete distribution requires
effort in each of the kernel, toolchain, and
application development spaces. This talk will provide
an overview of the process, then compare and contrast
Debian's ongoing efforts with PA-RISC and IA-64. Along
the way, unique tools and processes Debian uses to
maintain more actively supported architectures than any
other Linux distribution will be explored.
Bio: By day, Bdale Garbee manages a team at Agilent Technologies
that architects and maintains technical computing infrastructure
used by R&D and Manufacturing engineers who build electronic test
and measurement instruments. Outside of Agilent, he builds pieces
of amateur radio satellites, and is a long-time contributor to
the Free Software community.
Bdale has been a developer of the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
since 1995. In addition to maintaining a large number of
packages, he has helped port Debian to five non-i386
architectures, most recently PA-RISC and IA-64. Married with two
children, he also has a growing interest in making Debian more
successful as a computing environment for young learners.

Subject: LiSEn - A Little Search Engine for Niche Topics.
Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2001 14:50:02 GMT
Reply-To: dsweet@andamooka.org
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
LiSEn is aimed at enthusiasts of niche areas who would like to build WWW
search engines that search their favorite sites. I envision the creation of
many specialty search engines which return query results that are more useful
than a generic search engine simply because the specialty databases (i.e.,
the set of URLs crawled) are small and have been chosen by someone familiar
with the area on which the search engines are focused.
To make this all happen, LiSEn needs to:
* Be simple to administrate and expand, and
* Require only limited hardware and bandwidth.
To these ends, LiSEn is based on Perl, which is typically found
on Linux and *BSD systems, and can be set up so that the crawling and
searching phases may occur on different machines. These aspects allows one to
crawl a set of web sites at home (via, say, DSL or cable modem) periodically,
and run the search engine web site from a low-cost ($10-$20/month), web
hosting account.
Furhermore, LiSEn is being broken into small, easier-to-manipulate
modules to make customization easier. For example, ranking of keywords
is done in the module Rank.pm
LiSEn is currently functional, but still considered beta as all of goals set
out above have not yet been met. You may see LiSEn "in action" at
http://www.andamooka.org/LiSEn-KDE/ This LiSEn covers the KDE family of web
sites.
The LiSEn home page is http://www.andamooka.org/~dsweet/LiSEn/ I would like
to to hear from anyone who might be interested in using this software.
Additionally, feedback from beta testers would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Network test tool lcrzoex 3.05
Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2001 14:57:10 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Dear All
Version 3.05 of lcrzoex and lcrzo is now available.
Lcrzoex contains over 150 functionnalities to test an
Ethernet/IP network (sniff, spoof, configuration, clients, servers, etc.).
Lcrzo is the network library which permitted to create lcrzoex.
** lcrzo **
Lcrzo is a network library.
Its main objective is to easily create network test programs.
This library provides network functionnalities for Ethernet, IP, UDP,
TCP, ICMP, ARP and RARP protocols. It supports spoofing, sniffing,
client and server creation. Furthermore, lcrzo contains
high level functions dealing with data storage and handling.
Using all these functions, you can quickly create a network test
program. Lcrzo, which means "Laurent Constantin RéZO" (RéZO=network in
French), is available under the GNU LGPL license. This library was
successfully installed under Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris.
The library lcrzo provides :
- network functionnalities :
+ address conversion
+ packet encoding/decoding/printing
+ spoofing
+ real/virtual UDP/TCP clients/servers
+ sniffing
+ device(network board) dealing
+ etc.
- and general functionnalities :
+ data conversion
+ chained list
+ IPC
+ etc.
** lcrzoex **
Lcrzoex is a program containing usage examples for the library lcrzo.
Actually, lcrzoex contains over 150 examples. The main objective
of lcrzoex is to teach you how to use the library lcrzo. Every
example can be compiled alone and modified to match your needs.
Examples provided by lcrzoex can be used in the following contexts :
- discover the Ethernet address of a computer (examples 2, 3, 134,
etc.)
- sniff your LAN to detect what's going on (examples 7, 8, 9, etc.)
- check the checksums created by a network program which isn't
working (examples 16, 17, 18, etc.)
- intercept a session and replay it as many times you want to
strictly test your application (examples 10, 11, 12, 22, etc.)
- verify if a router is well configured even if the needed computers
are down (examples 48, ..., 53, etc.)
- check if your router/firewall/computer blocks
+ IP protocols (examples 29, ..., 34, etc.)
+ IP options (examples 29, ..., 34, 73, ..., 79, etc.), source
routing (examples 45, 56, 59, 62, etc.)
+ IP fragments (examples 44, 55, 58, 61, 72, etc.)
+ TCP options (examples 48, ..., 53, etc.)
+ ICMP types (examples 65, ..., 70, etc.)

++ minor evolutions of liblcrzo ++
- Sometimes, hostnames resolution takes longer than 30 seconds
to return "unknown host". Functions lcrzo_global_set_resolver_timeout
and lcrzo_global_get_resolver_timeout help users to select
a shorter timeout value (by default, it is 4 seconds).
++ major evolutions of lcrzoex ++
- Creation of example 165 recursively putting files on a ftp
server.
- The example 161 (IP/ranges computing) prints all surrounding
ranges.
++ minor evolutions of lcrzoex ++

as unsigned (%lu) instead of signed (%ld).
- Various improvements of examples 162(send email) and 163(send
news).
