Development projects
News and Editorials
Cooperative open-source lab opens doors. The big story of the week in
open source development had to be the opening of the new [14]Open
Source Development Labs outside Beaverton, Oregon. The labs, funded
with $24 million from companies like Hewlett-Packard, Intel, IBM,
Computer Associates, NEC, Hitachi, Mitsubishi Electric, Dell Computer
and SGI, is intended to be a hotbed for open source development in a
commercially productive way. Most of the major Linux companies also
are involved, including Red Hat, VA Linux Systems, Caldera Systems,
SuSE, Turbolinux, Lynuxworks and Linuxcare. Ross Mauri, vice president
of Unix software at IBM, has been appointed president of the lab's
governing board, while Brian Behlendorf, chief technical officer of
CollabNet and co-founder of Apache, is among the board appointees,
according to an [15]ZDNet story on the opening of the lab.
Known simply as OSDL, the lab, which was [16]the brainchild of Scott
McNeil who was then president of SuSE's American operation, is located
near the IBM and Intel facilities in Beaverton and was originally
expected to be a subsidized laboratory where open source developers
could test and optimize their work on high-end enterprise systems.
Unfortunately, not all developers were motivated by the inclusion of
commercial interests in their projects. But OSDL is expected to change
that. As Nicholas Petreley wrote in LinuxWorld's online magazine,
"Until now, companies would have to go to Linus and friends and say,
`Please make Linux work better with 32 processors.' Now they are
saying, `Here is a machine with 32 processors. Have fun.'"
In its new 11,000 square foot building in the high-tech area west of
Portland, Oregon, the lab holds a vast array of equipment for both
development and testing by both remote and local participants.
Hardware includes 4 4-way and 8-way IA-32 servers, 50 2-way IA-32
servers for load generation, 5.1 terabytes of storage, high-speed
fiber switches and gigabit ethernet connections, and multiple
developer workstations.
According to News.com, [17]two projects are under way at the lab: "one
for getting Linux to work well on servers with as many as 16 CPUs and
another for testing the Jabber instant messaging software with more
than 64,000 customers exchanging messages."
The opening of this lab will definitely be a boost for commercial
hardware vendors hoping to get Linux support for their systems without
having to hire the developers to do the work. Who will benefit most
from this remains to be seen, but for now all parties seem excited
about the possibilities. The question that remains is whether such
large scale commercial support can decrease the time to market for new
hardware support under Linux.
Rasterman's new toy (LinuxToday.au). Reporting from linux.conf.au,
this article in LinuxToday.au focused on a [18]talk given by
Rasterman, the mastermind behind the Enlightenment window manager,
also known as Carsten Haitzler.
Raster's topic (and new toy) turned out to be his latest project,
which he calls "EVAS". EVAS is what Raster described as a 'canvas',
and seems to be the latest exciting development in the Linux window
manager world. EVAS provides the possibility for Raster to build a
whole slew of features into the up and coming Enlightenment 0.17,
as well as demonstrating just how powerful XFree86 can be when
integrated well with the OpenGL libraries.
Browsers
Mozilla status updates. The Mozilla project posted a their [19]weekly
status update. Areas that saw activity this past week included the
Necko/Imagelib code, XPToolkit, and print related areas within the
rendering code.
Bluefish HTML Editor Review (Linux Orbit). [20]Bluefish, an HTML
editor written in GTK+, was reviewed this week in this article from
Linux Orbit. "Experienced coders will appreciate the time saved by
these dialogs when creating complex tables, forms, and framesets. The
dialog options for creating form elements in particular were very well
thought out. To a new user who has never created HTML pages before,
getting a page created with forms is a simple task with Bluefish. Some
of the other tabs include CSS, Javascript, and WML."
Databases
MySQL 3.23 pronounced stable. The MySQL team announced this past week
that, after 2 years of development, [21]the 3.23 release of that
package is fit for human consumption. "Apart from being more stable,
more optimized and more portable, the MySQL 3.23 release has several
major features not present in the 3.22 or 3.21 releases. These
include: full-text search, replication between a master and many
slaves and several new table handlers that support large files and
transactions by using the Berkeley DB library from Sleepycat Software
to implement transaction-safe tables."
MSQL 3 to be released in February. After almost a year of inactivity,
Hughes Technologies has announced [22]plans for version 3.0 of the
MSQL database.
Education
News from Linux for Kids. [23]Linux for Kids pointed us to a couple of
new projects this week. PyTraffic is python based car game while MCSE
trainer is an arcade game that teaches mouse skills.
Electronics
Icarus Verilog. The gEDA project quietly announced this week the
release of an [24]Icarus Verilog snapshot.

News, Amir Michail, creator of the CodeWeb data mining tool, is back
with [35]CVSSearch, a tool that searches for code fragments using CVS
comments. It will eventually index over 350 KDE applications and
promises to be very useful.
Status report: Java in Konqueror. Wynn Wilkes posted an update on
[36]Java support being added to KDE's browser, Konqueror. Among other
things, he reports that "applet loading via proxies and over https
should work now. Https support is achieved by using the JSSE (Java
Secure Sockets Extension) classes. They can be obtained from
[37]http://java.sun.com/products/jsse/. "

GNOME hackers George Lebl and Maciej Stachowiak presented a paper at
[39]LinuxWorld Australia outlining the future of GNOME, including
peeks at GNOME 1.4 and GNOME 2.0. "GNOME Office is becoming quite
advanced," said Stachowiak. "We are undecided about whether to
incorporate the features of OpenOffice into GNOME or to replace it
altogether."

KDE.com Offers Free Docbook Compilation Service. [42]As reported on
KDE Dot News: a new "DocBook documentation generator" has been set up
on KDE.com. It will generate HTML from the KDE DocBook documentation,
thus saving the hassle of making DocBook work on your local system.
It's a nice service, but it does highlight just how obnoxious it can
be to make DocBook work properly.

Programming Languages
Perl
Cultured Perl: Perl 5.6 for C and Java programmers (IBM
developerWorks). In this look at the upcoming Perl 5.6 release, Teodor
Zlatanov shows us the feature differences between [68]Perl and
standard languages like C and C++. "Perl often bewilders even
experienced programmers, primarily because it allegedly makes it too
easy to write obfuscated code. But the confusion regarding Perl's
structure, features, and philosophy is inevitable given that it's such
a rich and powerful language, and that it was designed from the start
to allow for more than one way to do the same thing."
This week on perl5-porters (15--21 Jan 2001). This week's
[69]Perl5-porters mailing list was rather active, covering topics such
as signals, large file support, token parsing and printing, and
unicode.
A Beginner's Introduction to POE (Perl.com). Perl.com also carried an
[70]introduction to POE, the Perl Object Environment. "It's not much
of an exaggeration to say that POE is a small operating system written
in Perl, with its own kernel, processes, interprocess communication
(IPC), drivers, and so on."
PHP
PHP Weekly Summary for January 24th, 2001. The [71]weekly summary for
PHP was posted just as we went to publish this week. News included the
announcement of PHPLIB and PEAR merging, discussions on advanced data
types for PHP, and the report of a bug in the handling of
multi-dimensional forms.
