News and Editorials
Red Hat's Embedded Linux Developer Suite. Following a relatively quiet
week at LinuxWorld, Red Hat announced a new offering this week: the
[15]Red Hat Embedded Linux Developer Suite. The suite includes an
embedded version of Red Hat Linux, the gcc cross-development tool
suite, an embedded boot loader, and the usual set of associated
services. Support is provided for several processors.
Red Hat recently announced a number of other initiatives including an
[16]e-commerce offering and a [17]PostgreSQL based database package.
But their foray into the embedded Linux marketplace, ignoring their
eCOS alternative, has been rather minimal up to this point. Red Hat
has supported the tools essential to embedded work (i.e. gcc,
binutils, and glibc), but as avoided the creation of its own embedded
distribution.
One of the few bright spots of late for computing has been the
embedded space, which Linux vendors have nearly saturated. Vendors
such as MontaVista, Lineo, LynuxWorks and RidgeRun already market
Linux based distributions for embedded systems. The question is
whether Red Hat can use it's relatively well known name to power its
way into a growing but well seeded arena.
Red Hat's advantages, of course, are its long experience (by way of
Cygnus) and its high-profile name. Given those, the company may just
be able to muscle its way into the embedded distribution market,
despite a late start.
Research Triangle Park, N.C. based Red Hat is expected to ship the new
embedded product sometime in October.
Mozilla leader laid off from Netscape. [18]Mitchell Baker, lead
wrangler of Mozilla.org, was laid off last Thursday from Netscape (or
rather AOL's Netscape Division). Her personal notice to the Mozilla
project members states that while she is no longer with Netscape, she
intends to remain active with the Mozilla project.
There have been unconfirmed reports that this may be have been part of
a larger layoff, which spawned rumors that it was all part of
Netscape's earlier announcements stating that company's intent to exit
the browser market. However, as of press time, LWN.net has been unable
to confirm the larger layoff reports.
A brief notice was posted to Bugzilla noting Baker's departure, but
there has been little added discussion there. Users of Bugzilla have
requested that visitors not burden the server looking for what isn't
there.
The story didn't escape Slashdot's faithful. One feedback post says
Baker was fired from Netscape, though Mitchell's own account says her
position was eliminated. Requests for comments on this situation from
various Netscape and Mozilla members has produced no additional
information as yet, though we're still looking into the matter.
It should be pointed out - though it shouldn't need to be - that even
if AOL/Netscape were to completely eliminate all staff actively
working on Mozilla, the project wouldn't die. Therein lies the beauty
of open source. The company need not continue the financial burden of
such a project, but the project need not be held hostage to corporate
whims or economic downturns.
Well wishes go out to Baker and any other ex-Netscape Mozilla
contributors with hopes that they'll land on their feet in short
order.
LSB Filesystem Hierarchy Standard 2.2 test suite. The [19]LSB
Filesystem Hierarchy Standard 2.2 test suite is now available. The
FHS, of course, specifies where files should be located in a Linux
distribution as part of the Linux Standard Base. This test suite may
be used to verify a distribution's compliance with version 2.2 of the
FHS.
Embedded Systems
A walk on the embedded side . . . of LinuxWorld SF 2001
(LinuxDevices.com). Rick Lehrbaum of LinuxDevices.com says
[20]embedded Linux is on the rise as he takes a walk on the embedded
side of LinuxWorld. "In the past, Embedded Linux products and
technologies accounted for roughly 10 percent of what was showcased at
LinuxWorld. At this show, the Embedded Linux fraction seems to have
increased to around 15-20 percent. Not surprising, given the strong
growth in developer interest in Embedded Linux reported in recent
months by market analysts VDC (story), Evans Data Corp (story), and
others (story)."
Databases
NuSphere MySQL (Unix Review). Unix Review [21]reviews NuSphere MySQL.
"All in all, I'm disappointed that NuSphere did not do a better job of
documenting their product. Remember, most of the software included in
NuSphere MySQL is freely available. What a user is really paying for
is convenience, information and support."
MiniSQL updates. [22]MiniSQL, known more commonly as mSQL, has had a
couple of new releases this past week. The first is the last stable
release of the 2.0 series, version 2.0.12. This release fixes a
security problem with the w3-auth access control. Also this week, the
third beta release for the new 3.0 version was announced.
Database Gorilla Hunter (TechWeb). TechWeb reviews [23]PostgreSQL 7.1
from GreatBridge. "If your business has hefty database requirements,
it's hard to imagine an open-source option that's a true alternative
to the established commercial database engines. Great Bridge, however,
brings software, service and support together in a product that can be
safely considered for many smaller organizations or apps."
phpMyAdmin 2.2.0 released. phpMyAdmin 2.2.0, a web administration tool
for MySQL, has been [24]released. There are security fixes in this
release, so an upgrade is recommended; there's also a long list of new
features.
Education
Seul/EDU Linux in Education Report. The [25]Seul/EDU Linux in
Education Report for September 3 is out; this issue has a strong
emphasis on putting Linux systems in schools, and delves into the
question of whether an education-specific distribution is called for.
Why should open source software be used in schools?. [26]LinuxMedNews
pointed us to an article on why open source software should be used
for general education. "Students should, at least, be given the
opportunity to see how their new tools work. They should be given the
opportunity to examine the inner workings of software. They should be
given the opportunity to extend the functions of their tools, where
they see or imagine possibilities. They should not be held back by
locking the toolbox of the Information Age and told they must not peer
inside, must not try to discover how it works, must not share their
tools with others, must not use their tools without paying proper
tribute to the software overlords, under penalty and punishment of
law." Plenty of links are used to back up the arguments here, making
this is a useful reference for educators working on Linux in the
classroom projects.
Electronics
gerbv 0.0.2 and prerelease Savant. The gEDA site pointed out the
releases of two early-stage projects: [27]gerbv 0.0.2 and [28]Savant.
Printing Systems
CUPS Book. A [29]book on CUPS, published by SAMS and written by Easy
Software Products founder Michael R. Sweet, is now available from the
Easy Software website.
Omni printer driver 0.4.2. Another release of the [30]Omni printer
driver has been made available from IBM's Linux Technology Center.
This release was created to allow Omni to be used with the latest
levels of Foomatic and printconf.
Standards
World Wide Web Consortium Issues SVG 1.0. W3 has issued the [31]SVG
1.0 specification as a recommendation, meaning that the specification
is stable, contributes to Web interoperability, and has been reviewed
by the W3C Membership, who favor its widespread adoption.
Web-site Development
Zope News for August 31. The [32]Zope News for August 31, 2001 is out.
It covers the Zope 2.4 beta release, a new ZEO beta release, the
SecurityJihad project, Paul Everitt's new son, and more.
Zope 2.4.1 released. Zope 2.4.1 has been [33]released; it is primarily
a bugfix release, which includes the recent security updates.

Programming Languages
Lisp
LISA 1.0 released. The official release of [48]LISA 1.0 was announced
this past week. LISA is
a platform for the development of Rete-based intelligent systems in
Common Lisp. The most significant new feature in Version 1.0 is
full support for rule redefinition within a running inference
engine.
The full announcement can be found [49]online.
CMU CL CVS server move causes temporary service disruption. The CVS
repository for CMU CL is being moved to a new server, which will keep
the sources and binary distributions unavailable from their normal
locations for a few weeks. Until then, [50]backup repositories have
been made available.
PHP
PHP Weekly Summary #52. This weeks [51]summary for PHP development
includes talk of some new gettext additions, a fix for broken output
buffering, and word of tighter Apache integration in future versions.
Python
Improving the social infrastructure of Python (developerWorks). Here's
[52]an article on Python documentation and distribution utilities on
IBM's developerWorks site. "By way of background for any Python
beginners reading this, Python has long had some semi-formal
documentation standards. These standards have not attempted to
constrain developers unduly, but rather to offer the 'one obvious way
to do it.' Fortunately, Python developers, as a rule, have always been
far better documenters than typical developers in other languages."
This week's Python-URL. Here is a relatively thin [53]Dr. Dobb's
Python-URL for August 30, 2001. Topics include a look at WebWare,
WebDAV module progress, a look at Tinter, and file locking issues.
Tcl/Tk
This week's Tcl-URL. Here is [54]Dr. Dobb's Tcl-URL for August 31,
with the latest from the Tcl/Tk development community. This issue
looks at XML and XSL, tcl plugins, and new versions of e4graph,
sgxTools, ActiveTcl, and moodss.
