Subject: GNU C Library version 2.3.5 release (fwd)
========== Forwarded message ==========
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hash: SHA1
Version 2.3.5 of the GNU C Library is now available for download at:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/
ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/glibc/releases/
Please see http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html and
http://sources.redhat.com/mirrors.html for mirror sites around the world.
This release contains only bug fixes, as will future 2.3.x releases.
The following bugs in version 2.3.4 are resolved in 2.3.5:
284, 592, 602, 626, 633, 640, 650, 661, 671, 681, 693, 700, 710, 719,
722, 723, 725, 726, 727, 728, 729, 730, 731, 732, 733, 734, 735, 736,
737, 738, 739, 740, 741, 742, 743, 744, 745, 765, 767, 768, 769, 776,
777, 787, 821, 822, 823, 825
Visit http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/ for the details of each bug.
For information on reporting bugs in the GNU C Library, see:
http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html
Be advised that updating the C library is no trivial task and it is very
easy to damage one's system. Unless you are participating in the
development and maintenance of the C library, you should use a binary
distribution instead. The code in this release has already been built
and tested by maintainers of GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd binary distributions
basing their systems on it.
Please note that version 2.3.5 cannot be compiled using GCC 4 (which has
not yet been released). Version 2.3.5 has only the changes necessary to
fix bugs seen on production systems using 2.3.4; production systems are
using the GCC 3.4 compiler. We expect to release version 2.3.6 soon, to
coincide with the anticipated GCC 4.0 release. Version 2.3.6 will contain
changes necessary to build with GCC 4, though we still recommend the stable
GCC 3.4 version for building the stable 2.3.x versions of the GNU C Library,
as that is what has been heavily tested. If you especially want to compile
glibc using GCC development snapshots, then you should be working with the
current development version of glibc (see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/).
That code is not yet ready for release, but already builds well with GCC 4,
and fixes many new compilation warnings that you will still see in 2.3.6.
The following files are available:

0b3bfe7da428cbe94d395bbd3ead7f74 glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.4-2.3.5.diff.gz(2.6K)
Note the `linuxthreads' package is required to build a useful system C
library for use with Linux kernels prior to version 2.6. To build a
configuration supporting only Linux 2.6 kernels or to build for
GNU/Hurd, the package is not required. The main glibc-2.3.4 release
package contains the Native POSIX Threads Library (NPTL) contributed
by Ulrich Drepper, which supports Linux 2.6 kernels only.
This is the first release to include the `ports' package, which has been
available via CVS since version 2.3.4 was released. This add-on package
contains code supporting machines and operating systems maintained only by
volunteers, not as part of the core glibc maintenance effort. It presently
contains some disused code for abandoned ports that worked many years ago,
as well as the Linux/AM33 port contributed by Alexandre Oliva. You do not
need this package unless you are using AM33, or working on a new port of
glibc yourself.
Many thanks to these people, who contributed fixes found in this release:
Jakub Jelinek
Ulrich Drepper
H.J. Lu
David Mosberger
Steven Munroe
Andreas Jaeger
Andreas Schwab

Subject: Free Software, Free Society ... conference in May in Kerala, India
A Conference titled "Free Software, Free Society" is being organised at
Thiruvananthapuram, India, during May 28-30, 2005. The conference
positions itself at the intersection between free software, freedom of
knowledge, digital divide and freedom of creativity. Thus, movements
including Creative Commons and Open Access are of relevance to the
planned discussions. The Conference is being promoted by Hipatia, Italy
(www.hipatia.info), Society for the Promotion of Alternative Computing
and Employment (SPACE), India (www.space-kerala.org) and the Free
Software Foundation of India (www.gnu.org.in). Delegations from Brazil
and Venezuela also have shown interest in participating. More
information on the Conference can be found at www.hipatia.info/fsfs
Registration information will be available in a few days.

**************************************************************
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
OSS 2005
The First International Conference on Open Source Systems
July 11 - 15, 2005 Genova, Italy
http://oss2005.case.unibz.it/
**************************************************************
Open Source Software (OSS) development has emerged in the last decades
as one of the most important phenomenon of
computer science and engineering. It has been instrumental for
education and research in the Academia, providing free
access to essential tools, such as compilers, word processors,
spreadsheets, etc, it has changed the way people perceive
the software business, and it has often kept the software market away
from monopolies. As such, a deep understanding of
OSS requires the understanding of a wide spectrum of issues.
The goal of OSS2005 is be a holistic forum on OSS where to convey
people interested in OSS and coming from a widely
diverse background.
Therefore, OSS2005 will be a forum to discuss theories, practices,
experiences, and tools on development and applications
of OSS systems, with specific focus on two aspects:
(a) the development of open source systems and the
underlying technical, social, and economics issue
(b) the adoption of OSS solutions and the implications of such
adoption both in the public and in the private sector.
OSS2005 will bring together people from industry, public
administration, and academia to share experiences and ideas and to
provide an archival source for important papers on open source topics.
The conference is also meant to provide information and education to
practitioners, identify directions for further
research, and to be an ongoing platform for technology transfer.
The conference will consist of a dynamic mixture of keynote
presentations, technical presentations, panels, poster sessions,
workshops, tutorials, Ph.D. and an Open Educational Symposium.
A rich companions' program has also been prepared.
CONFERENCE TOPICS
The conference will stress practical applications and implications of
OSS. Conference topics include, but are not limited to:
- Foundations and rationale of Open Source Software
- Licensing issues in OSS
- Tools and infrastructures for OSS Development
- Open Source Software and eGovernment
- Open Source and Open Knowledge
- Knowlegde management in OSS
- Business models and OSS
- Impact of OSS on social networks
- Documentation of OSS
- Cost and economic models of OSS
- OSS and Agile Methodologies
- Scalability issues
- Education and training
- Introduction of OSS in companies and Public Administrations
- Empirical analysis of OSS
- Case studies and experiments
- Legal issues in OSS
- Other aspects of OSS
