Reply-To: sood aaditya <ec98310@matrix.reccal.ernet.in>

This is an announcement about a new LUG in CREC, Kerela, India.

We run a LUG in CREC (Calicut Regional Engineering College, Kerela,
India) called CREC-LUG. Although there have been Linux users in the
college since about 1995, paradoxically the LUG was founded in Nov 2001!
That partly explains why we haven't had any meetings yet, the other
reason being the exams :-/.

The DNS to our server (called tux.reccal.ernet.in) is shaky and slow
(almost like the whole ERNET), so the site better be accessed at the IP
address. Mail however would come through. 

Lug Name : CREC-LUG 
Co-ordinator : aaditya sood <ec98310 at matrix.reccal.ernet.in>
Mailing List Url: http://202.41.105.20/mailman/listinfo/lug
Mailing List Subscribe : <lug-request at tux.reccal.ernet.in> or from the Mailing list Url
Mailing List Archives : http://202.41.105.20/pipermail/lug
Lug Website : http://202.41.105.20/
First Meeting : Sometime in Jan 2002
Local Resources : A mailing list+website+~150 people:)

So any of the alumni of the college, anyone near Calicut (or anyone
at all:)) is invited to join. Just send a mail to me for more info.

Happy hacking!

Subject: (Announce) Yet another Linux FAQ 1.2
Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2002 15:49:07 CST

Yet another Linux FAQ is a comprehensive FAQ about the Linux Operating 
System. It is a great document for Linux beginners to read. This FAQ 
tries to help those new to Linux help themselves. It covers topics such 
as kernel recompilation and X Window System configuration.

Changes: A new "Tips and troubleshooting" section was added. A reference 
on GNOME keyboard shortcuts was added. An article on installing Mandrake 
Linux on a laptop was added. Many smaller updates were made, with 
expanded links. New downloadable editions are available.

Aegis (http://aegis.sourceforge.net/) is an open soure project of long
standing.  It is used by hundreds of sites world-wide to manage their source
code repositories and development process.

The user base has grown to the point where several more maintainers would be an
advantage.  If you are interested in contributing to an established mature open
source project, I'd like to hear from you.

Subject: bras-2.1 Rule Based Command Execution in Tcl
Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2002 15:49:51 CST

ANNOUNCING
                             --- bras ---
                     Rule Based Command Execution

I am pleased to announce version 2.1.

WHAT'S NEW?

A new predicate md5older was introduced. It checks if a target is out
of by considering only the md5sums of the dependencies.

Recently (2.0) individiual namespaces for every directory where
introduced. The implementation of the mechanism was buggy and had
to be rewritten.

STABILITY:

The new namespace encapsulation is still not fully tested. I am not
yet sure if it really helps on multi-directory projects or if it
rather is in the way. Let me know.

WHERE CAN I GET IT?

The distribution  can be found at
   http://bras.berlios.de/

WHAT IS IT ANYWAY?

Out of frustration caused by several (mis)features of make I decided
the other day that I would like to have a tool which combines 
rule-based and script-like command execution. The result is bras. It
is written in Tcl and the rule-files it uses are also pretty much
Tcl. However, bras defines a set of new Tcl-commands which implement
rule-based command execution.

Main features are:
o rule-controlled command execution, similar to make;
o written in Tcl, no compilation required;
o Tcl-syntax so that commands associated with rules may contain
  control structures;
o dependencies in foreign directories can trigger sourcing rule files
  in that directory, recursive bras-execution is not necessary;
o just any boolean expression can be used to define when a target is
  out-of-date. 
o pattern rules which deserve the name;
o explicit invocation of the reasoning process possible;

Send comments and requests for enhancements to
pifpafpuf@gmx.de .

Subject: mrtg-rrd 0.3

MRTG-RRD 0.3 RELEASED

The mrtg-rrd.cgi is a CGI/FastCGI script for displaying MRTG graphs
from data in the RRDtool format. It can make your monitoring system
faster because MRTG does not have to generate all the PNG files with
graphs every 5 minutes or so. Instead of this the graphs are generated
on-demand when the user wants to see them.

The main goal of this project is to generate the output similar to the
MRTG native graphs as much as possible, providing the drop-in
replacement to the MRTG-generated graphs. It reads the same
configuration file as MRTG does, and it can understand most of the
directive types in this configuration file. It can display single graph
pages as well as the directory indexes referring to more graphs or
subdirectories.

The project homepage is at
        http://www.fi.muni.cz/~kas/mrtg-rrd/

Interesting.  Why spawn a new project?

XML  isn't  the  magic  panacea.   If the  don't  *FIX*  the  document
structure by  giving a definitive DTD  or schema, you'd  still have to
change a target  that they can move at their own  will and pace.  Even
with a definitive DTD or schema, if the contents are not structured in
a "reasonable" way, you can't do much.  e.g.

<?xml version="1.0">

<msword:document xmlns:msword="http://blah.blah.blah/...">
   <msword:binary-data encoding="base64">
      a0sd0e0f9DSFs0dvs0df90s8adsv9adsSDFJSDVsoidjsOJNEW
...
   </msword:binary-data>
</msword:document>


What  can you  do?  Is  XML  making it  easier?  It  depends!  And  it
depends on so many things.  Blind worshipping of XML must be avoided.


    Jean-Marc> Since XD640 uses UTF-8 strings it is fully
    Jean-Marc> internationalized.  (Right-to_left strings are only
    Jean-Marc> supported in XHTML text widgets but not in other
    Jean-Marc> widgets).

Why not move  a level of abstract higher and  say "Unicode" instead of
UTF-8?  UTF-8  should be  used only as  an external format  (e.g. file
transfer).   Internally, the  system ought  to use  unicode characters
(wide characters).  UTF-8, again, is not the panacea.  While it solves
many  problems and  may provide  a  better transition  to real  16-bit
characters (hey, Unicode  has moved faster: it is  now 32-bit!), it is
not problemless.   E.g., when a Chinese  text is encoded  in UTF-8, it
needs 3 bytes per characters.  Encoding it in UTF-16 would take only 2
bytes  per  characters --  the  same  as  the national  encodings  for
Chinese.

From: "Stacy Simpson" <stacysim@us.ibm.com>
Subject: IBM and Accelrys Partner to Enhance Drug Research
Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2002 15:50:34 CST

Today, IBM Life Sciences announced that it has forged one of its most
important alliances -- with a leading software company that will allow
chemists and biologists to develop new drugs faster, more efficiently, and
at lower costs.

Accelrys -- perhaps the most important software vendor in the
rapidly-growing life sciences market segment -- will make IBM its
technology partner, with IBM eServer systems and DiscoveryLink the
platforms of choice for its complete spectrum of drug discovery and drug
development applications. Accelrys will lead with the IBM servers --
including "Regatta" UNIX servers and IBM Linux clusters -- as well as
DiscoveryLink data integration software.

This announcement is especially significant because it will result in
powerful IT solutions that will touch literally every part of a
pharmaceutical company's research and development organization, offering
new efficiencies and shrinking the drug discovery process.

        IBM and Accelrys Form Global Strategic Alliance to Transform Drug
                            Research and Development
      Broad-reaching Commitment To Direct IT Resources Toward Helping Drug
                        Makers Shorten Development Cycles

      ARMONK, N.Y., and SAN DIEGO, January 7, 2002 . . . IBM (NYSE:  IBM)
and Accelrys, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Pharmacopeia, Inc.
(NASDAQ:  PCOP), today announced a global strategic alliance to enhance
drug research and development (R&D) operations by creating a collaborative
information technology environment for chemists and biologists to develop
new drugs faster, more efficiently, and at lower costs.

      Through the agreement, Accelrys, one of the world's leading software
developers in life sciences, will become a premier partner in IBM's
PartnerWorld for Developers Program, a status reserved for top-tier
strategic alliance partners.

      IBM and Accelrys will team up, with each company contributing key
technologies, to help pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and
medical research centers improve their R&D operations and shorten the
development cycle for new drugs.

      "This alliance represents one of the most significant and influential
relationships for IBM in life sciences," said Dr. Caroline Kovac, general
manager, IBM Life Sciences.  "IBM and Accelrys share the common goal of
developing innovative technology solutions that will benefit the life
sciences community and accelerate drug discovery and development.  Our
relationship will leverage IBM's cutting-edge supercomputing technologies
and Accelrys' broad software expertise to drive the new levels of
efficiency in pharmaceutical R&D."

Alliance Highlights

      Under the terms of the four-year alliance, IBM becomes Accelrys'
preferred information technology and services partner for life sciences.
IBM's eServer* systems will be Accelrys' server family of choice for life
sciences applications.

      Through its collaboration with IBM, Accelrys will accelerate the
delivery of its Discovery Studio** platform, which promises to be the
industry's first technology platform to fully support the entire drug
discovery process.  Discovery Studio is a set of Accelrys technologies that
will offer broad access to key life sciences applications, while enabling
effective capture and reuse of critical scientific information and
knowledge, whether generated by Accelrys' portfolio of software products,
in-house or by third parties.

      "The drug industry is asking for a consolidated, integrated platform
for sharing data and knowledge," said Dr. Michael Stapleton, chief
operating officer and executive vice president of Accelrys.  "We chose IBM
as our technology partner because of their commitment to the market we
serve and their strength in high-performance computing, software, and
services that align with our goals.  Through IBM's and Accelrys'
complementary technologies, we can help customers increase the productivity
of their drug development efforts and get more successful drug candidates
through the development cycle faster."

Other key elements of the alliance include:

--  Accelrys will enable its software applications to run optimally on IBM
eServer systems for UNIX, Windows NT*** and Linux***.   Accelrys
applications, which support R&D processes ranging from early isolation of
target genes and proteins associated with particular diseases, through
synthesizing chemical compounds that will work on these targets, to
pre-clinical testing and drug delivery, are used by virtually every major
pharmaceutical and most major biotechnology and chemical companies.

--  Accelrys becomes a premier member of IBM's PartnerWorld for Developers
Program (www.developer.ibm.com), which offers business partners a wide
range of sales, education, training, and technical support programs. This
worldwide program is designed to help software developers reach broader
markets faster and lower their costs of doing business.

-- Accelrys will use IBM eServer p690 (code named "Regatta") systems
running AIX*, IBM eServer xSeries* systems running Linux and Windows NT,
and the IBM eServer Cluster 1300 Linux system for software development,
testing and knowledge management applications.

--  Accelrys will combine IBM DiscoveryLink* data integration technology
with the new Discovery Studio platform.

--  IBM and Accelrys will jointly market Discovery Studio offerings for IBM
platforms and middleware.

--  IBM and Accelrys will provide a range of joint consulting and
implementation services for deploying solutions that combine mutual
technologies.

      "This announcement is the latest example of how the emerging
bioscience sector is a major catalyst for growth in high-performance
technical computing, in the same way that the application of simulation and
modeling was to defense, manufacturing and petroleum in years past," said
Debra Goldfarb, group vice president, International Data Corporation.  "The
IBM-Accelrys alliance should be welcome news in an industry feeling
tremendous pressure to innovate, and could result in impressive market
share gains for both companies."

      According to the TOP500 Supercomputer list (www.top500.org), IBM
systems account for 160 of the world's 500 most powerful high-performance
computers and half of the top 10 more powerful machines -- more than any
other vendor.  The list was published in November 2001 by supercomputing
experts Jack Dongarra from the University of Tennessee and Erich Strohmaier
and Hans Meuer of the University of Mannheim (Germany).

   "Life science IT solutions will have dramatic growth in the next several
years," said Dorman Followwill, Vice President, HealthCare, Frost &
Sullivan. "This reflects the historic convergence of IT and biology, where
the limits of biology now equal the limits of computing.  It is difficult
to overstate the future role of IT in modernizing the drug discovery and
development process through high-performance computing, services and
software for translating reams of genomic/proteomic data into clinically
useful information.  IBM and Accelrys are well positioned to lead the way
in this space."

About IBM

      IBM Life Sciences brings together IBM resources, from research,
services and e-business expertise to data and storage management and
high-performance computing, to offer new solutions for the life sciences
market, including biotechnology, genomic, e-health, pharmaceutical, and

Subject: ANNOUNCEMENT Linux Education in NYC (NYLXS)
Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2002 15:50:34 CST

Following up on last nights wildly successful first Free Software 
Institute Meeting, the Chair of the Institute, and myself, wish to
introduce the first class of our cradle to grave Linux/Free Software 
program of NYLXS (see http://www.nylxs.com).

Paul, the Chairman, will followup on the complete program, but I would like to 
announce the first class.  This is a very exciting begining.

The first class is called Intoduction to Linux.  The cost is $200
plus you can purchase a computer through our network of 
hardware vendors to participate in the class.  This class goes 
through the installation process of Linux on standard hardware 
and ONLY hardware which we order through our vendor will 
be allowed to be used in the classroom.  This prevents us from 
turning into installfest maddness.

People who spring for the machine (for less than $500) will
beable to use it in further classes as we learn to build a powerful 
system.

The class will be 5 classes in 5 weeks from 
Monday Febuary 4th until March 4th.  All students
MUST pay in advanced.

The time of the class will be 7PM - 10:30PM  We might push later is
required.  We will also meet on line for instruction on an agreed upon
weeksly time to fill out about 6 hours a weeks instruction.

We will hold class at
Rosenswieg and Maffia at 845 3rd Avenue in Midtown Manhattan


A maximum of 20 students can be accomedated.
 
Checks are made payable to NYLXS.

Final exams of this class is the installation of a system with
basic setup.
