Tridia Corporation Expands Commercial Support Of Open Source Hybrid TridiaVNC
Always on-call virtual help desk supports an entire company from a single $295 per year subscription
ATLANTA - JUNE 14, 2001 - Tridia Corporation, a global provider of eSupport tools that empower remote system administration for live support, collaboration, and training announced the expansion of commercial support for its open source hybrid TridiaVNC (virtual network computing). The $295 per year TridiaVNC Supportal subscription includes a documented media kit, a 24-hour response to custom support inquiries, and a Rev-Alert service that notifies subscribers of new revisions and code fixes by e-mail messages and by sending updated releases on CD. The TridiaVNC Supportal is a virtual help desk of commercial grade support that's always on call and dynamic enough to support an entire company from a single subscription.
"We recognize the hesitance of IT professionals to implement an open source solution without some degree of commercial support," says Vince Frese, chief executive officer at Tridia Corporation. "Arguably, open source products are great value when compared to the high seat costs of their commercial equivalents. Our TridiaVNC Supportal makes choosing open source over commercial products a more logical decision. By offering commercial grade support for our open source hybrid TridiaVNC, we overcome the single biggest obstacle to open source deployment."
TridiaVNC Supportal subscribers get a mix of technical support, updates and a FREE media kit that's valued at $59.95. The TridiaVNC media kit includes a printed user's guide plus an application CD with its own user's guide and embedded help-essential features for fast installation on multiple workstations.
Technical Support features of the TridiaVNC Supportal include: Search a knowledge base of previously supported issues, get instant answers to common questions from a FAQs resource, search with full text any of TridiaVNC's user's guide, and rely on 24-hour responses to custom support inquiries.
Technical Update features of the TridiaVNC Supportal include: Receive e-mail notification of the latest enhancements and code fixes to TridiaVNC by the Supportal's Rev-Alert service, and automatically get the latest releases of the TridiaVNC platforms neatly and conveniently assembled on CD.
Unlike closed source, remote control products, TridiaVNC provides cross-platform support and functionality from a single open source product. This open source model gives users the freedom to customize, integrate and enhance TridiaVNC to meet their specific eSupport needs. Its small footprint is another advantage. The Win32 viewer is about 184K in size. In addition, VNC uses minimal resources when not in use. And, since TridiaVNC requires no license fee, it is a cost effective choice for company-wide deployment.

From: philh@comuno.freeserve.co.uk (phil hunt)
Subject: Parrot-0.2.6 released
I have just released Parrot version 0.2.6.
Parrot is a text-based GUI builder. It is intended to be used
by programmers writing GUI applications. Parrot is written in
Python.
To use Parrot, you write a text file descriping your
application's GUI. Then you invoke the Parrot program, which
reads your file and produces output code implementing the GUI.
At the moment, Parrot can produce two sorts of output:
* HTML containing the GUI
* a Python program which when run will implement the GUI
using Python's Tkinter interface to Tk.
The current release contains modifications contributed by
Ludger Humbert (<humbert@ls12.cs.uni-dortmund.de>) to
get radio buttons working correctly.
Parrot is currently pre-alpha code, so don't expect to
do much useful work with it yet.
Parrot is available from:
http://www.vision25.demon.co.uk/oss/parrot/intro.html
Parrot is licenced under the GNU GPL.

Reliable Services Created From Unreliable Systems
Presented by Vincent C. Jones
6/20/2001
Wednesday
6:30pm-8:00pm
IBM Headquarters Building
590 Madison Avenue at 57th Street
Check in at lobby for badge and room number
========================================================================
Dr. Vincent C. Jones, long-time Linux user, author, and computer
networking consultant, will be giving a technical talk on what it takes
to provide network services that continue to deliver despite unreliable
communications links and system components.
Vince will start with a brief overview of how network routing protocols
detect and compensate for failures, and how redundancy can (and cannot)
contribute to higher availability. The session will then look closer at
two networking challenges of particular interest to Linux users:
* Configuring client systems with redundant LAN connectivity
Adding a second network interface to a box will only improve up-time
if a failure can be detected and the alternate available route
selected for use. The two most popular approaches will be presented
and their capabilities and limitations discussed.
* Configuring server systems with redundant LAN connectivity
A Linux server can be set up with a single IP address that can always
be reached despite loss of a network interface, LAN infrastructure,
or local router. Two working configurations will be presented, one
based on generic routed and a second using GateD.

Free Stuff!
Addison-Wesley has provided Vince with two copies of his recently
published book High Availability Networking with Cisco to give away
at this meeting.

(with colors or not) function calls and the return statement.

Subject: WebCalendar 2.6 released
Web Calendar 2.6-4
Web Calendar is a perl cgi script. It has an interface
similar to dtcm as seen on Sun Solaris. It supports the
standard calendar editing, searching and popup/blinking
reminders. If the wcald is running on the calendar server,
it can also do mail reminders.
WebCalendar runs under mod_perl!
Features:
* Allow your user to set up and manager his/her calendar
* Support public calendars, where everyone can edit his/her own
calendar entries.
* Display day, week, and month views of the user's calendar
* Schedule single or repeating calendar entries
* Browse and edit another user's calendar, provided permission is given
* Schedule reminders to give the user notice of events
* Two levels of restrict access to the user's calendar
* Merge with other calendars or calendar files
* Edit a group of calendars (meeting events, todo tasks)
* Arrange calendars into workgroups
* Compare a group of calendars and find schedule conflicts
* Announce events by email
* Change the time zone context
* Support diary, address book, task management etc.
* Monitor multiple calendars in a single session

Subject: MobiliX at Linux 2001 - Manchester
Hi,
during Linux 2001 — Linux Developers' Conference - at Manchester
29.6.- 1.7.2001, I will do two presentations:
- Linux on Laptops
- Linux on PDAs
http://www.ukuug.org/events/linux2001/
Besides the presentations I can answer questions about Linux on laptops
and PDAs. In turn you may help me to complete the MobiliX PCMCIA survey
http://mobilix.org/pcmcia_linux.html , please bring your PCMCIA cards
with you, whether they are working with Linux or not. If not I will
try to assist you in getting them to work.
Werner
