Development projects
News and Editorials
The [15]GPLFarm is a new project under the leadership of Francisco
Burzi. The goal of GPLFarm is to bring high quality desktop software
to the Linux platform.
GPL Farm is a developers family with a very innovative idea. GPL
Farm will collect Linux developers around the world throught our
developers center, each developer subscribes in our site, then we
will launch a software project with guidelines and a fixed
timeline. Registered developers will subscribe to a project, then
we'll select a programmer who will work on the project and will
assign it. Then the programmer starts making the requested
software, within the established time. The programmer submit his
work to GPL Farm, then we'll test it with our Testers Staff. At
this point we pay to the programmer the accorded ammount and the
final step is that GPL Farm will release the software under the GPL
license. Easy no?
[16][GPL Farm] The project is looking for sponsor organizations and
individuals, with the hope of raising US$2 Million to get the project
off the ground. Benefits for sponsors include lots of good publicity
on the GPL Farm web site as well as mention within the developed
applications. Currently, MandrakeSoft is the only sponsor listed.
Payment for projects will range from around US$500 to US$30,000
depending on the complexity of the project. Projects are categorized
into groups of life forms such as insects, birds, reptiles, mammals
and dinosaurs. Insect projects are small and easy to develop, whereas
dinosaur projects are large and long term.
Developers will be required to sign a contract, and payment will be
made when the project reaches beta testing status. Developers who
don't complete projects will be ineligible for further work. Once
finished, the project will belong to the GPL Farm, and will be
released with a GPL license.
Beta testers will work for free, they will have access to the code in
an early state, and presumably, will be able to add their direction to
the project with feedback to the developer.
The documentation does not go into much detail about how the various
projects will be selected, presumably, that will be done by the
GPLFarm leaders. It does not appear that the sponsors will have a lot
of power in choosing categories that their funds will support,
although that does seem like a logical method for assuring more
motivated sponsors.
The GPL Farm looks like a novel idea, and will hopefully succeed in
focusing developer efforts onto useful new projects for Linux.
Audio
Linux Audio Mailing Lists. In the current Musings section of the
[17]Linux Sound Software site, Dave Philips mentions a new mailing
list for Linux sound enthusiasts, the [18]Linux Audio User list, which
focuses on the user side of Linux audio software. Also, for the more
development oriented people, the [19]Linux Audio Developer list covers
the software side of Linux sound.
Databases
Release 0.1 of myperl. Brian (A.K.A. Krow) discusses the [20]embedding
of Perl code in mySQL as a stored procedure, and introduces an
experimental project called myperl for achieving this capability.
Education

Embedded Systems
Embedded Linux applications (IBM developerWorks). IBM's developerWorks
explains the [23]benefits of embedded Linux and offers some options in
this arena. "Some real-time hardware and software Linux APIs to
consider are RTLinux, RTAI, EL, and Linux-SRT. RTLinux is a hard
real-time Linux API originally developed at the New Mexico Institute
of Technology. RTAI (DIAPM) is a spin-off of the RTLinux real-time API
that was developed by programmers at the Department of Aerospace
Engineering, Polytechnic Politecnico di Milano (DIAPM). EL/IX is a
proposed POSIX-based hard real-time Linux API being promoted by Red
Hat. And Linux-SRT is a soft real-time alternative to real-time APIs,
which provides performance-enhancing capabilities to any Linux program
without requiring that the program be modified or recompiled."
Embedded Linux Newsletter for August 23, 2001. The August 23, 2001
edition of the [24]Embedded Linux Newsletter includes news of HP's
expanded role in the embedded Linux market, the multivendor set top
box project known as Linux4.tv, and Lineo's latest financing deal.
HP expands commitment to Linux in devices (LinuxDevices). LinuxDevices
covers HP's upcoming LinuxWorld announcements, including the new
[25]Chai-LX. ``Bruce Perens, HP's senior strategist on Linux and Open
Source, put HP's commitment to Embedded Linux this way: "Linux is now
the standard operating system platform for embedded systems at HP."''
BusyBox 0.60.1 released. A new minor release of the BusyBox integrated
toolkit [26]is available. Version 0.60.1 fixes a few minor bugs that
showed up in the recent 0.60 release.
Embedded Open Motif. ICS [27]has announced the availability of their
version of Open Motif and some accompanying applications for embedded
Linux systems on the Compaq IPAQ and the Agenda VR3. The applications
will be released with a GPL license.

includes discussions on xml-rpc, optimizing PostgreSQL, paying for web
services, and an Athlon 1.33 Ghz box that broke the 20,000
Pystones/sec speed limit.
SkunkWeb 3.0 released. Version 3.0 of the SkunkWeb Web Application
Server [37]has been released. This version follows several beta
version and features fixes for a number of bugs.
Window Systems
FLTK 1.1.0b1 is available. Version 1.1.0b1 of FLTK, the Fast Light
Tool Kit, [38]has been announced. This release includes many new
features. If you are not familiar with FLTK, the [39]FLTK Home Page
may be a good place to start.
GNOME 2.0 Accessibility Framework early release. The GNOME Foundation
has [40]announced the early access release of the GNOME 2.0
Accessibility Framework. The Framework assists users with disabilities
as they work with GNOME applications. Much of this work has apparently
been contributed by Sun.
Miscellaneous
Letter to SourceForge users. Here is [41]a letter to SourceForge users
(and that's all of us, in one way or another) on VA Linux's plans to
sell a proprietary version of the SourceForge system. "By selling
proprietary software together with Open Source software, VA is making
it easier for its enterprise customers to purchase and deploy
SourceForge software. VA Linux will be distributing SourceForge
Enterprise Edition to its corporate customers under a combination of
the Mozilla Public License (version 1.1) and a proprietary software
license." The word is that nothing will change for SourceForge.net
users.

Catching OutOfMemoryErrors to Preserve Monitoring and Server Processes
(O'Reilly). Jack Shirazi gives some ideas on the best ways to deal

Integrated Development Environments
Build Better Java Apps (TechWeb). Here's a [76]review of Lutris
Enhydra, a Java application server and development environment that
runs on a number of platforms, including several flavors of Linux. "An
interesting note: Enhydra can be used on systems ranging from totally
open source to completely commercial. Running it on a totally
open-source system can save thousands of dollars in start-up costs.
However, this assumes that an organization has the infrastructure to
keep these systems up and running. This is especially important given
the lack of formal tech support for most open-source programs."
Miscellaneous
Automake 1.5 is available. Version 1.5 of Automake [77]has been
announced, and is available for download. [78]Automake is a tool for
