Subject: Release of version 4.3.78 of sharutils (fwd)
Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2005 01:12:55 CST
========== Forwarded message ==========
GNU sharutils consists of two pairs of utilities: shar and unshar, and
uuencode and uudecode. "shar" makes so-called shell archives out of
many files, preparing them for transmission by electronic mail
services (converting binary data to ascii representations, breaking
the text into multiple shar scripts, etc.). "unshar" is the safe way
to reassemble and extract the original files. It will automatically
strip off the mail headers and other introductory text.
"uuencode" and "uudecode" are programs that convert binary files into
ascii text so that the original data can pass through the email system
without having intermediate hosts "fixing" the files en route.
NEWS:
Version 4.3.78 - January 2005, by Bruce Korb
* fixed test to not require updates for every release number
* fixed the uuencode man page so that docbook generation can work correctly.

Migrating To Open Source
Two Day Comprehensive Workshop
The Administrator perspective on the Emerging Technology
By Iducate Managers
Open Source software is rapidly creeping into all aspects of the corp=
orate infrastructure, and management tools appear to be the most rece=
nt entrants. Much of this has to do with the increasing acceptance of=
the Linux operating system and popular applications such as Apache a=
nd MySQL. These products are being deployed in all size enterprises, =
and are playing a greater role in mission-critical services. In fact,=
67 percent of all web sites are run using Apache, 24 percent of all =
web sites are written in the open source PHP Hypertext Processor (PHP=
) language, and 76% of all mail servers use Open Source Sendmail. IT =
industry watcher MAIT predicts that half of software infrastructure c=
ould be open-source-based within five years. This does not seem far-f=
etched if you consider that companies such as HP, IBM, Sun, Oracle, a=
nd SAP actively market Open Source and related products.
Cost isn't the only reason businesses are paying attention to Linux: =
It's fast, generally stable, flexible, portable, and if push comes to=
shove, you can fix problems on it yourself or optimize its applicati=
ons for your own business. Aside from key industry player interest, t=
he other major factors contributing to the recent growth and acceptan=
ce of Open Source components are the tight budget constraints on IT o=
perations. Software that can be downloaded immediately and used for a=
n unlimited amount of time to determine if it suits the requirements =
of the IT initiative also has great appeal.
The key differences between Open Source and commercial software utili=
ties is in terms of skill set required to effectively use each, docum=
entation and support offered, integration capabilities, version upgra=
de schedules, accountability for performance, and product vision. The=
Migrating To Open Source Workshop is an intensive course designed to=
provide practical insights on the approach required for deploying su=
ch tools with emphasis on administration and interactive discussions =
on companies who have migrated to Linux.
Pre-Requisites
Considerable hands-on experience on any Operating System, preferably =
a multi-user environment. Some earlier knowledge of Linux / Unix will=
help but it is not essential.
Target Audience

From: "Frederick Noronha (FN)" <fred@bytesforall.org>
Subject: NGOs, searching long for alternatives, find flavour in alt.software
NGOs, SEARCHING LONG FOR ALTERNATIVES, FIND FLAVOUR IN ALT.SOFTWARE
>From Frederick Noronha
For an sector that talks of alternatives, the non-governmental organisations
(NGOs) or voluntary sector stays surprisingly aloof from one significant
alternative that has really worked -- free software. But there are stirrings
to bridge this huge chasm. In end-January, India's technology mecca
Bangalore is to be the venue for an international 'camp' meant to promote
FLOSS among the NGO sector.
Others talk of building 'another world'; in free software, it is already
there. Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS, using the newish acronomy
that better describe both diverse strands that make it up) today allows just
about anyone to avoid globally dominant players, and to find more
freedom-oriented options. It also, at the same time, works very efficiently
in the growing world of computing.
Asia Source, as the 'tech camp' is called, will be held from January 28 to
February 4, 2005 and "hopes to bring together over a hundred people from 20
countries to increase the use and awareness of FLOSS amongst the non-profit
sector in South and South East Asia."
There will be participants coming in from a range of backgrounds.
Sucharat "Ying" Sathapornanon from Thailand looks after IT for the
Asia-Pacific Regional Resource Center for Human Rights Edcuation. Umesh
Pradhan comes in from Thimphu, Bhutan. Ujjwal from Nepal is a "technical
supporter" of non-profits in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Yee Yee Htun from Myanmar lives along the Thai-Myanmar border, and is a
volunteer webmaster for AAPPB (Assistance Association for Political
Prisoners-Burma) -- www.aappb.org. Alecks Pabico from the Philippines is a
journalist working with the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism.
>From a range of Asian countries, NGOs and grassroots technology support
professionals will come in "to learn new skills, exchange tips, and share
experiences", organisers say. Local hosts reminded participants that
Bangalore is famous for its silk, sandle wood, handicrafts, designer
jewelery and (tasty vegetarian) food.
But beyond the names and faces and local attractions, there's a more
important message.
FLOSS bestows on the user four freedoms -- freedom to use the software for
any purpose; freedom to study how the software works; freedom to modify the
software; and freedom to share the software with others. From a technical
perspective, this can be used to reduce costs and hardware requirements
while also improving security, reliability, performance, stability, and
scalability.
>From a wider philosophical perspective, FLOSS can transform patterns of
access, usage, control and ownership of knowledge and technologies.
Globally, FLOSS has grown after several hundred thousand hackers and
students scattered across the globe collaborated to produce a unified body
of knowledge without resorting to hierarchical structures and exploitative
relationships. This movement is also seen by some to demonstrate how wealth
can be created by entrepreneurs in the free market without using the
proprietary copyright regime.
In Bangalore, four themes will flow throughout the event. FLOSSophy for NGOs
(or, why Free Software and Open Source makes sense), migration and access to
non-proprietorial software, tools for content-building and communication,
and the localisation of computing to make it relevant to countries across
Asia.
Elizabeth, originally Timorese (from East Timor), is currently doing her
internship at the Open Forum of Cambodia with KhmerOS (Khmer Open Source).
The KhmerOs is working to localise software to Khmer, the Cambodian
language. Says she: "I'm learning from them while also preparing a
localization document for Tetum, one of our national language in Timor
Leste." Tetum uses the Latin script with some accents, since it has words
imported from Portuguese.
Talat Numanov from Dushanbe, Tajikistan works in Central Asian Development
Agency as an IT specialist, and his goal is to learn more about FLOSS and
distribute it to users. Says he: "My friends use Mandrake Linux (because it
has been localised to Tajik)." Russell T. Kyaw Oo from Myanmar says: "I am
focusing on localization, translation and modification."
Guests from overseas should be meeting up with Guntupalli Karunakar, a
soft-spoken extremely low-key Mumbai-based champion of localisation. He's
one of the key movers behind the Indian Linux Project
(http://www.indlinux.org). Explains Karunakar: "My primary experience is in
F(L)OSS localization. I have been working on this for last four years, We
have almost completed Hindi localization part."
Not-so-friendly neighbouring regions are sometimes united by common
concerns. From Pakistan, Sufyan told Karunakar in a pre-conference online
discussion: "We at Open Source Resource Center of Pakistan (www.osrc.org.pk)
will be grateful to you if you can give us an action plan for localization
in Urdu."
Localisation is an issue that many are addressing in the FLOSS world, and
taking computing to communities which otherwise might just be seen as an
unviable market.
Javier Sola, a Spaniard living in Cambodia, is coordinator of the KhmerOS
project. "Our goal is to make Cambodia OpenSource-Country by means of
localization. I am an enthusiast of F(L)OSS localization. I believe that it
is the key to adoption of F(L)OSS by users," says he.
He has been also working on a "toolkit" on how to do FLOSS localization. In
Javier's view, localization and making migration easy are the two "keys to
FLOSS adoption". In Bangalore, he regrets not being able to attend both
tracks.
Hok Kakada, another Cambodian, works for the KhmerOS project, which she sees
as aiming to "enable all the Cambodian people to use a computer in their own
language". She says that by using FLOSS, their team has already localized a
number of applications into the Khmer language -- actually, not just
applications, but even the operating system as well.
OVER A HUNDRED
Over a hundred participants are expected at this global meet. Together with
experts and specialists, they'll look at how technology and free and open
source software makes sense within the non-profit sector -- in terms of
access and content.
Asia Source organisers -- the Dutch TacticalTech.org network and Mahiti.org
in Bangalore -- say theirs will be the "first event of its kind" in the
region.
Peer-learning will take top priority. Participants will look at available
options, learn how to select and apply alternative technologies. They'll
access skills and tools to utilise this in their daily work.
There will be experts to share the skills.
Colin Charles, also from Malaysia, considers himself an "all round open
source person, actively involved in The Fedora Project and OpenOffice.org."
He has helped many NGOs, companies and individuals make the switch, first to
the Windows-like Open Office and then to GNU/Linux.
Soon-Son 'Shawn' Kwon from South Korea works with a "big corporation" by day
and by night has been managing the highly-successful Korean Linux
Documentation Project, "as a hobby".
David Tremblay is a French Canadian volunteer working for Oxfam Quebec as an
IT analyst in Ha Noi, Viet Nam. He says: "I'm implementing websites,
intranet, extranet and networks using -- as much as I can -- open source,
open standards and accessible technologies. I'm trying to build a strong
open source community in Ha Noi. I'm also a proud [GNU]Linux desktop user."
Tremblay argues that he wants "to raise awareness among my NGOs that are too
often giving away computers without thinking what their are doing.... I want
to raise awareness that software choice isn't genuine. Too often, they think
of their computers as a hammer, and everything become a MS-nail."
One of the more colourful and high-profile though is "Rasta coder" Jaromil.
Denis 'Jaromil' Rojo is the maintainer of dyne:bolic, HasciiCam MuSE and
FreeJ. He calls himself "a nomadic rastafari of south Italian origins" and a
free software developer.
Dynebolic (dynebolic.org) comes out with a GNU/Linux multimedia-oriented
distribution. Jaromil sees it as being suitable for "audio/video
manipulation, network radio streaming, veejaying and anything else we can
come up with together". He points out that this is a "100% free" operating
system. (In the world of FLOSS, the word 'free' doesn't refer to zero-cost,
but refers to the freedom to run, study, redistribute and improve software.)
At the 'camp', there will be a range of sessions. From planning and helping
an NGO to migrate to FLOSS, to sharing tips and techniques on using tools
for content development, advocacy and campaigning. In parallel to this they
will look beneath user-level scenarios, and break-down tricky issues such as
techniques for localising software and forms of understanding the real cost
of technology use.
Asia Source will be held in a small artists community on the outskirts of
Bangalore. But perhaps this needs to be recognised as an endeavour that goes
beyond just code.
FLOSS ideals are spreading to other fields. It's amazing to see the manner
in which the sharing of knowledge and information is catching on in other
circles too. Today, like sharing Free Software, the same ideals are growing
in fields like open law, open source biology, MIT's OpenCourseWare, Project
Gutenberg and Books Online (that distributes e-texts free online), free
dictionaries and encyclopedias, and the open music movement.
VENTURES THAT MAKE SENSE
Various experiments are seeing FLOSS being deployed to bridge the 'digital
divide'. While the potential is vast, and significant achievements are being
reported at the ground level, there probably just isn't enough awareness
about it.
Tomas Krag in Copenhagen runs a small non-profit called wire.less.dk. It
works primarily with low-cost wireless solutions for remote areas (mostly in
the so-called 'developing world'). With a background as a web-developer,
technical architect, and technology evangelist, his interest is "in a
variety of open (standards, source, spectrum, doors) technology solutions to
bring more people on to the Internet, and make it a richer better place".
Adi Nugroho lives in Makassar, a small town in Sulawesi Island in Indonesia.
He's been using FLOSS since 1998. In March 1999, with some friends, they
founded the Linux User Group Ujung Pandang, to learn GNU/Linux together and
to help each other to migrate and use it.
Way back in September 1999, they build iNterNUX, the first full-GNU/Linux
Internet cafe in Indonesia, which use FLOSS for all servers and
workstations.
NEEDING A LEG-UP IN ASIA
In the West, FLOSS grew early. But in Asia it is a younger development,
mainly because widespread public access to tools vital for collaboration --
like the Internet -- grew in these parts only very recently.
In Bangalore, the camp is being supported by the Association for Progressive
Communications (APC) and Aspiration. This event is sponsored by Hivos, the
Open Society Institute, and the International Open Source Network (IOSN).
This perhaps marks a shift in the approach of international development
organisations, who have come to recognise that the Free Software approach
to knowledge and skills makes the most sense in a world where poverty and
illiteracy and unconquered enemies for a few thousands millions.
Prior to this event, similar 'source' events have taken place in South East
Europe, Southern Africa and are planned in 2005 in Western Africa. See
