Development projects
News and Editorials
The future of omniORB. omniORB is a CORBA 2.1-compliant object request
broker which was developed at the AT&T Cambridge Laboratory. It has a
reputation as being one of the better free ORBs available, and it has
a significant user base. AT&T, of course, has decided to close down
the Cambridge Laboratory; this closure has cause some understandable
curiosity about the future of free software projects that were run out
of that lab.
In the case of omniORB, the news looks reasonably good. omniORB hacker
Duncan Grisby is [12]taking the project independent, with [13]a site
on SourceForge. Interestingly, this project will become much more open
to community contributions than it previously was:
In the past, we always discouraged contributions of anything except
bug fixes and ports to new platforms. That was largely to make sure
AT&T kept the copyright to all the code, so we had the flexibility
to relicense it if we wanted to, and to protect AT&T from copyright
claims. Obviously, that reason is no longer an issue
Mr. Grisby tells us that the previous policy did not impair omniORB
development; indeed, he claims, a robust, high-performance system is
best developed by a small, tight group. Even so, AT&T's firm grip on
the code shows how many companies, while they are increasingly
supportive of free software, are still reluctant to really turn the
process loose.
On the other hand, omniORB development could yet become a little too
loose, given that AT&T's support for its development has been
terminated. Mr. Grisby has plans for both the short term (omniORB 4.0
and omnORBpy 2.0 releases) and the long (asynchronous methods, passing
objects by value), but the financial support for that work is no
longer. So Mr. Grisby is seeking support for continued omniORB work;
it looks like time for those who benefit from omniORB - or who would
benefit from future enhancements - to step up and help ensure that
development continues.
For those who are curious, a web site dedicated to tracking
ex-Cambridge projects and people has been set up at [14]xorl.org.
Audio Projects
AlsaPlayer 0.99.60 has been released. This release consists mostly of
bug fixes and infrastructure work; see [15]the changelog for details.
WaveSurfer 1.3.1 has also been released. The changes appear to be
mostly related to documentation; details in [16]the changelog.
Education
SEUL/edu Linux in Education Report. The [17]April 29 Linux in
Education Report is available from SEUL/edu. It looks at difficulties
with Linux gradebook development, Microsoft's guide on donating
computers to schools, and numerous other topics.
Thai Tales: Taking Computers to Schools (Linux Journal). Linux Journal
[18]looks into the use of Linux in Thailand's SchoolNet project.
"'Initially we used Windows NT on a straightforward PC. Then we
developed the Linux schools internet server. We now have our own
software, running GNU/Linux, which is managed via the Web, using the
Thai language. That means, to run it the user hardly need to know
anything of UNIX. This runs on just a PC. Compared to it, we could not
afford a Sun Microsystem box and router for each school, for example,'
says Koanantakool."
Embedded Systems
SnapGear Ports uClinux to Motorola ColdFire MCF5249. Here's [19]a
press release from SnapGear. "SnapGear engineer, Greg Ungerer, has
recently completed uClinux support for the new Motorola MCF5249
ColdFire(R) CPU, specifically for M5249C3 development board. Patches
have been made available for 2.0.x and 2.4.x versions of uClinux
kernels."
Building a secure kiosk with Embedded Linux. LinuxDevices features
[20]an article on building a Linux based information kiosk. "In this
informative and entertaining technical article, embedded developer
Patrick Glennon relates his experiences in creating a small
Linux-based system for a client that required robust, easy-to-use,
low-cost kiosks for conducting surveys at hotels."
BusyBox 0.60.3. BusyBox 0.60.3 has been released; see [21]the
changelog for details. BusyBox may be designed to fit into limited
space, but the developers have still somehow found room, alas, for
color "ls". BusyBox may be downloaded from [22]the project web site.
Network Management
OpenNMS 1.0 has been released. [23]OpenNMS has [24]announced the
release of version 1.0 of its enterprise grade network management
platform.
Printing Software
GNU Ghostscript 7.05 released. The release of GNU Ghostscript 7.05 has
been [25]announced. This is the first GPL release of Ghostscript 7.x -
though this code has been available under the AFPL for almost a year.
New features include better Asian language support, improved PDF
handling, and more.
Also available is [26]ESP Ghostscript 7.05.1, which adds fancier
configuration, the CUPS raster drivers, and a number of other things.
Web-site Development
Puffin 0.8.8. Puffin is a regression testing framework for web-based
applications; it is written in Python. The [27]announcement for this
release claims a number of advancements, including greater ease of
use, better response analyzers, etc.
The Python Web Frameworks Overview has been [28]announced by Paul
Boddie. The Overview is a set of documents describing the (numerous)
web development frameworks available for development in Python, and
the ups and downs of each. It is still much in development (there are
not yet entries for all frameworks), but the initial contents look
promising.
Nemein releases NemeinAuthentication library. Nemein [29]has announced
the release of its NemeinAuthentication library, session-based
authentication library for Midgard. The library has been released
under the LGPL license. (Thanks to Henri Bergius.)

month's KDE favorite. "As part of the May 2002 issue of "Application
of the month" series on KDE.de, Klaus Staerk has interviewed Haavard
Fro/iland, author of KTouch. KTouch is part of the KDE Edutainment
Project and provides a quick and fun way to learn the useful and
impressive skill of touch typing."
Desktop Elegance (mosfet.org). [52]An editorial at Mosfet.org defends
KDE against Eazel cofounder Bart Decrem's attacks.
KDE Stats: KDE Is Brought To You Today By.... KDE.News [53]looks at

[55]released; it includes no end of improvements and new features.
GUI Packages
GNUstep Weekly Editorial. The [56]GNUstep Weekly Editorial for
April 26 is available with the latest from the GNUstep development
community.
Interoperability
TheOpenCD: Free Software on proprietary operating systems. Here's
[57]the announcement of a new project that wants to make programs like
AbiWord, the Gimp, and OpenOffice available on Windows and MacOS. "The
key, as I see it, is to encourage people to use the high-quality Free
Software now becoming available in the OS they are already using."
Kernel Cousin Wine #120. The [58]120th issue of Kernel Cousin Wine is
available, with coverage of events through April 18, including the

1.1.3 is now available. "This is a DEVELOPMENT RELEASE it is not
supposed to be stable..."
AbiWord Weekly News published. The AbiWord Weekly News [61]issue #89
is now available. "This week there have been some really long threads
on the future development of AbiWord, primarily about the backend
enhancements necessary for tables and improved rendering/i18n. Plans
for the near term seem to be in place, and I suspect people have
already started hacking."
OpenOffice Native Language additions. Italian and Dutch [62]have been
added to the OpenOffice Native Language Development project, bringing
the project's tally to four languages. German and French are the other
supported languages.

Programming Languages
Caml
Caml Weekly News. Here's [79]the Caml Weekly News for April 30, with
coverage of the "PhoX" proof assistant, interfacing with Matlab, and
more.
Perl
Second Call for YAPC::NA Papers (use Perl). The [80]second call for
papers is out for YAPC::NA. Deadlines are 1 May for papers and 5 June
for lightning talks.
Lightweight Perl Blogging Tools (use Perl). UsePerl [81]links to
several web logging tools, Movable Type, Bloxsom, and Blagg.
mod_perl Developer's Cookbook reviewed (Perl.com). Simon Cozens
[82]has reviewed the mod_perl Developer's Cookbook.
Don't be afraid of Perl 6. Here's [83]an article in System
Administration Magazine on what is really changing in Perl 6. The
conclusion is that most Perl code will still work, that there is no
need to fear the changes. "The same dangerous misfocus occurs every
time Larry releases another Perl 6 design document. Our brains
instinctively skip over the majority of familiar, unchanged Perl
landmarks and, instead, zero in on the comparatively few features of
the language that are actually changing."
PHP
PHP Weekly Summary for April 30. The [84]April 30 PHP Weekly Summary
is available; it looks at the 4.2.0 release and several other topics.
PHP.net: A Tourists's Guide. Those trying to find their way around the
PHP.net site may well want to take a quick look at [85]PHP.net: A
Tourist's Guide. "Everyone knows the www.php.net site. All of us went
there sooner or later, and will keep going back there. This is the
central reference point for PHP users, and it has a wealth of
informations there. All of it isn't that obvious. Come with me, I'll
show you."
'Programming PHP' Released by O'Reilly. O'Reilly has [86]released
"Programming PHP" by Rasmus Lerdorf, creator and lead developer of
PHP, and Kevin Tatroe.
Python
Stackless Python in Limbo? Christian Tismer, author of the
[87]stackless Python patch, has [88]announced a bit of a change in
direction. Stackless Python will start to look more like the [89]Limbo
language used in the Inferno operating system. Limbo defines a
"tasklet" mechanism which makes it easy to write concurrent,
multi-threaded applications; the tasklets communicate through
"channels" which also handle synchronization issues.
This week's Python-URL. [90]Dr. Dobb's Python-URL for April 30 is
available with the usual roundup of interesting happenings in the
Python community.
Ruby
Ruby Weekly News. The [91]April 29 Ruby Weekly News looks at
Ruby/Google 0.3.0, the first release of the [92]Practical Ruby IDE,
and more.
Review: Ruby Developer's Guide. Slashdot has posted [93]a review of
the Ruby Developer's Guide, written by Robert Feldt, Lyle Johnson, and
Michael Neuman. "Directed towards programmers with a working knowledge
of Ruby, the text is a quick read even with working through the
examples. It effortlessly introduces the basic concepts of each
package worked through and then gives locations where more in-depth
information can be gathered."
Debuggers
GDB 5.2 has been released; details in [94]the announcement. There are
a few new commands and supported architectures, but seemingly no
radical changes.
