Subject: linux asf server project beta (senator 1.0beta release)
Date: 11 Jul 2002 05:05:08 GMT
Hi folks,
for the past two weeks I have been working on a small ASF video server
for linux wich can feed video streams to media player. The server is
using the HTTP protocol and it has support for searching / skipping in
the video stream.
This is just a beta release and there is much more work todo before
it's really capable but for now it works fine :)
the source code is GNU public and can be downloaded at:
http://www.angelfire.com/linux/senator/
please have a look and tell me what you think of it.
greetings
ps. please also reply to the asfserver@runbox.com account, since I'm
not a very frequent visitor of this newsgroup, thanks

From: remi@cherrypy.org (Remi Delon)
Subject: ANN: CherryPy-0.2 released
We're pleased to announce the release of CherryPy-0.2.
This release fixes a minor bug that prevented non-Unix users from
using the CookieAuthenticate module.
==========================================
About CherryPy:
CherryPy is a Python-based tool for developing dynamic websites. It
uses many powerful concepts together, which makes it unique in its
approach to website development.
CherryPy sits between an application server and a compiler. You write
source files, compile them with CherryPy and CherryPy generates an
executable containing everything to run the website (including an HTTP
server).
CherryPy has been used in production for more than 6 months are we are
now releasing it to the public, under the GPL license.
Key properties/features of CherryPy are:
- Based exclusively on Python (runs everywhere Python runs)
- Delivers fast, robust, and scalable websites
- Uses OOP as well as AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming) concepts to
develop websites
- True separation of content and presentation
- Simple but powerful templating language
- Powerful standard libraries to make your life easy
Other properties/features are:
- Can be linked to many databases (Oracle, Sybase, MySql,
PostgreSql, ...)
- Can run behind another webserver (Apache, ...)
- Easy clustering and load-balancing set up for high-traffic
websites
Remi.

Subject: IBM and Nokia Collaborate on Wireless Digital Media on Linux
From: "Stacy Simpson" <stacysim@us.ibm.com>
Today, IBM and Nokia are announcing a significant new technology capability
enabling wireless service providers to deliver new digital media services
to consumers.
The Nokia Delivery Server will be available on IBM eServers running Linux
built on IBM's WebSphere e-business infrastructure software designed to
give wireline and wireless service providers the flexibility to introduce
new revenue generating voice, text and Internet-based services to their
customers faster, easier and at a lower cost.
Nokia's move to IBM solutions on open systems from BEA's WebLogic and the
Sun Solaris operating system serves as a major turning point for the
distribution of digital media over wireless networks. By delivering a
secure content delivery platform Nokia and IBM set the stage for the
delivery of rich media to wireless devices -- streaming, music, audio, and
video.

Nokia and IBM Collaborate on Digital Content Delivery for Mobile Devices
ESPOO, FINLAND AND ARMONK, N.Y., July 9, 2002 -- Nokia and IBM today
announced an agreement on digital content delivery for mobile applications
and services. Combining their expertise, Nokia and IBM will provide
wireless operators and service providers with a complete solution for
content management and delivery. According to the agreement, IBM will
market Nokia's delivery server software for mobile content downloading. The
companies have also agreed to collaborate on secure content delivery
solutions, including digital rights management, according to industry-wide
open standards and specifications.
The solution combines the Nokia Delivery Server with IBM Digital Media
Factory framework and enables service providers to offer exciting new
content services for mobile users, such as Java based mobile games,
polyphonic MIDI ring tones, digital images, graphics, screen savers and
icons. The services built on the solution, called Digital Media for Mobile
Devices (DM Mobile), will allow users to fully leverage the advanced
features of mobile devices such as preview and seamless downloading of new
content.
Using a modular approach, future developments of the Nokia and IBM solution
will allow support for delivery and protection of a richer set of media
types. This will allow operators and service providers to leverage their
initial investment and increase their revenue streams.
"We are very pleased to work together with IBM on mobile content delivery
and provide service providers with a top-quality solution for rapidly
emerging services. Furthermore, we share the same view on an architecture
development for protected content and Digital Rights Management in the
mobile domain. Both Nokia and IBM have a strong commitment to drive and
adopt an open based DRM technology that will result in a rich set of new
services that are interoperable throughout networks and mobile devices,"
said Pertti Korhonen, executive vice president, Mobile Software, Nokia.
"This agreement pulls together the critical components necessary to support
the secure delivery of content," said Dick Anderson, general manager of
IBM's Digital Media group. "It enables new and exciting applications to be
created and delivered to new advanced mobile devices. IBM and Nokia are at
the forefront of protecting content from creation to delivery in a wireless
environment."
The Nokia Delivery Server will become part of IBM's Digital Media Factory
framework, based on a number of IBM core products and business partners,
which helps companies create, store, manage and distribute digital content
across the digital media value chain. IBM Global Services will sell and
support the resulting offering with consulting, installation, and
integration.
The Nokia Delivery Server software will also integrate with IBM's Service
Provider Delivery Environment (SPDE ? pronounced "speed-ee"), an open
standards based framework built on IBM's WebSphere e-business
infrastructure software designed to give wireline and wireless service
providers the flexibility to introduce new revenue generating voice, text
and Internet-based services to their customers faster, easier and at a
lower cost. The Nokia Delivery Server is to be ported and made available
for use on IBM Linux-based eServer* xSeries** systems. Finally, the
combined IBM/Nokia Download Server solution will be supported and
demonstrated by the IBM Network Integration Laboratory in La Gaude, France
as a specific solution that is integrated with the IBM SPDE and Digital
Media Factory frameworks.
Both Nokia and IBM are active members of the newly formed Open Mobile
Alliance (OMA). OMA is the nearly 200-member company organization charged
with delivering open standards for the mobile industry, helping to create
interoperable services which work across countries, operators and mobile
terminals and are tailored for user's needs.

IBM DELIVERS NEW DIRECTORY OFFERINGS FOR LINUX
Adds Critical Component of Integration Strategy to Infrastructure Portfolio
Somers, N.Y. ? July 10, 2002? Building on the directory integration
momentum created by its recent acquisition of Metamerge, IBM today
announced new directory software. The offering provides enterprises with a
software infrastructure for identifying enterprise resources, controlling
access to networked systems, and securely deploying Web services across all
leading operating systems, including Linux for Intel and zSeries servers.
IBM is delivering IBM Directory Server 4.1, available immediately for
download at no cost, and introducing new Metadirectory and Directory
Professional Services to assist customers with the analysis, design and
deployment of enterprise directory and metadirectory solutions. IBM
Directory Server 4.1 and the new directory services provide capabilities
that are essential for companies that need to deploy Web services and user
provisioning.
A directory is a database used to store and retrieve user, resource and
other key network information. Metadirectory software aggregates directory
information that may be stored in directories or databases provided by
multiple software vendors and running on a variety of operating systems.
IBM obtained metadirectory capabilities through its recent acquisition of
Metamerge, a privately-held company in Oslo, Norway. Metamerge was acquired
June 25 and integrated immediately into IBM Software Group.
IBM Directory Server 4.1 is based on the industry-standard Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). It is another example of IBM's commitment
to open platform support. In addition to Linux support, IBM Directory
Server 4.1 supports AIX, Solaris, Windows 2000, and the HP-UX operating
systems. This open platform support means customers are not limited to
using proprietary technologies and have the flexibility to maximize the
value of their current IT investments.
Built on DB2 for reliability and scalability, IBM Directory Server provides
a common identity infrastructure for e-business applications. Applications,
such as those developed using IBM WebSphere infrastructure software, can
use the Directory Server to securely identify network users and resources.
Additionally, IBM Directory Server provides directory functions that link
user data so that security applications, such as IBM Tivoli Identity
Manager and IBM Tivoli Access Manager, have simplified access to the data.
These security applications are made more effective by leveraging this
common directory infrastructure for user provisioning and access management
across Web and legacy applications.
"This directory server solution, combined with our Directory and
Metadirectory Professional Services, is ideal for companies that need to
build the software infrastructure required to adopt Web services
technologies. Enterprises can now integrate their directories to identify
users across all software platforms," said Don O'Toole, Director Business
Integration Marketing, IBM. "IBM's directory offering also can play a key
role in enabling such strategic initiatives as the deployment of Linux
systems and grid computing."
About IBM Software
IBM is the world's largest information technology company, with 80 years of
leadership in helping businesses innovate. IBM Software offers the widest
range of middleware and operating systems for all types of computing
platforms, allowing customers to take full advantage of the new era of

Hi group,
the development of network monitor N-View comes to its end. Before releasing
the "final" version, I would like to have it testet on as much environments
as possible.
Especially tests on several language versions of Windows systems are
required. Missing languages are:
Frensh, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Russian, Czech and
Hungarian.
Also I need more test results from Linux systems.
To find out more, see the homepage at http://www.n-view.de
Everybody, who helps testing it on an environment, not tested yet, will get
a FREE permanent license key, when the final version is released.

Subject: The bintrans Dynamic Binary Translator
bintrans is a dynamic binary translator. That means it runs programs
on architectures they were not compiled for. It does this by
dynamically translating the machine code of the programs to be run to
machine code for the native architecture.
Currently, bintrans features translators from i386 to PowerPC and from
PowerPC to Alpha. It only supports Linux binaries.
bintrans is still in its early development stages, so don't expect it
to run Mozilla. However, it already runs SPECINT95 benchmarks and a
few small X applications.
