Avatar writes, “Posted today to evil3D.net, a system review featuring the Voritcon by PogoLinux: ‘…unlike other OEMs, you know exactly what is going into your box and who made it. Inside a Pogo box you will not find a single gray market part that will leave you scratching your head some day when a new driver is needed. By sticking to the good stuff, Pogo reduces the amount of support liability it will incur when a system leaves its dock. Quality in and quality out; a good way to get started.’ The full review can be found here.”
ISPDB software may become Open Source
marksw writes, “ISPDB Limited, the Cambridge (UK) based ISP solutions firm, will probably be releasing the ISPDB software under a free licence. ISPDB is a suite of provisioning tools for ISPs and is designed to make the daily life of small ISPs easier.” Read the full press release, which also talks about the company ceasing trading.
The future of Xandros: Installation is nice, more features expected
– By Dan Berkes –
Michael Bego would like you to know that he has not left the helm of Xandros, contrary to some gossip that’s been going around. He would also like you to know that a little rumor about half the engineering staff laid off is just that — a rumor. But most of all, the Xandros president would like you to know more about the new desktop-focused Linux distribution he’s been working on.
Rumor control isn’t any company’s favorite way to appear in the press. Unfortunately, it seems that some customers or competitors feel compelled to make things up when there’s a lack of real news to spread around. Since its January beta test announcement, Xandros has barely uttered a peep to the world outside its Ottawa, Ontario, headquarters.

Rumor control isn’t any company’s favorite way to appear in the press. Unfortunately, it seems that some customers or competitors feel compelled to make things up when there’s a lack of real news to spread around. Since its January beta test announcement, Xandros has barely uttered a peep to the world outside its Ottawa, Ontario, headquarters.
“We’re a little busy at the moment,” says Bego, explaining the lack of communication with the outside world.
About the layoffs, Bego explains: “We did have five interns that left us at the end of their semester, but that’s out of about 42 employees total. In all the time we’ve given out internships, there’s only been one person to turn us down. As far as regular employees go, not one has left us, ever. We have a great team here, and everyone is excited about the products they’ve created.”
The first such product the company plans on releasing is called Xandros Desktop 1.0. Built upon the foundation of Linux technology that Xandros corporate parent Linux Global Partners licensed from Corel, Xandros Desktop will be one of the user-friendliest Linux distributions ever released, Bego claims.
The public seems to be ready for a kinder, gentler Linux. “When we announced the beta test in January, we had over 2,000 applications for 150 beta test slots,” he says.
Looking at the beta
Bego stresses that the first beta version isn’t very exciting from a layperson (read: reporter’s) view, and he’s certainly right. The installer maintains the same ease of use that the Corel distribution used to make its name, although with some improved hardware support.
I mean this in the most exciting way possible: The Xandros Desktop installation is boring. I hope my fellow Linux users will understand that I say this with excitement, not despair. Having suffered through one too many needlessly exciting or annoying Linux installations, boring is a good thing. It means stability and dependability.
The hardware support was particularly impressive, figuring out the identity of all the off-brand equipment on my test box on the very first try. Up until that moment, the only other operating system that was able to pull that off was Windows. If the installer is as reliable at detecting name brand hardware as it was with my bargain basement system, then Linux users will have a good option for hardware detection, which was once a Linux pipe dream.
As for the rest of the Xandros Desktop beta, the only thing that can really be said about it is that it’s Linux. Based on Debian, it’s stable, reliable, and all those other buzzwords used to describe a Linux distribution. That similarity to other Linux flavors happened by design: “Our first and primary goal was to nail down the installer,” Bego says.
Expanded beta expected this month
Having done that, Bego expects his company will issue a new beta version to a wider audience at the end of April. That’s the version of Xandros Desktop that will include a wider range of the “fun” features the company is hoping will attract a new crowd to use Linux.
One of the new goodies promised is a tight integration of software and libraries enabling Xandros Desktop to run Windows programs directly from the KDE or GNOME desktop environments, Bego says. While that will certainly include bits and pieces from the Open Source WINE project, an as yet-to-be-named vendor will also be on hand to offer additional support for a wider range of Windows applications.
Bego is quick to allay any fears the Linux community might have about Xandros Desktop turning into a toy or novelty distribution with a limited newbie audience. “We’ve made it easy for the non-technical users, but it will cater just as equally to advanced Linux users.”
The major question with Xandros right now is when its distribution will hit 1.0 status and store shelves. Original company estimates called for early May, then late May. The most recent mass mailing from Xandros promises mid-June. Time will tell if that release date is accurate or just another one of those rumors going around.

Presentation of Gnome: Havoc 9:30
----------------------
Challenges for industrial-strength UNIX/Linux desktop
- Internationalization (pango, unicode, fonts and translation)
- Usability (simplification, consistency)
- Accessability (hook, API and tools)
- Manageability (centralized defaults)
- Reliability
Area where help would be appreciated:
- web site and system administration
- employing more core developers
- usability testing
- fonts
- printing issues
- developer meetings
Getting more process in place (bug tracking, test suites, releases)
Getting close to release GNOME2
HP-UX Desktop Requirements: Don Wierbilis 9:50
---------------------------
Usages:
- Graphic desktop
- Custom desktop
- Server desktop
The technical staff is starting to be able to work from a linux/Unix
workstation and integrate with the corporate environment
Desktop requirements:
- stable and visible roadmap
- reliable
- extensive localization
- support
- developer toolkit
- accessibility
CDE and Motif migration and basic compatibility like cut and paste
are needed for deployment with legacy apps.
Mandrakesoft user base : Frederic Crozat 11:00
------------------------
Pool: main strength
- ease of use 47%
- performances 22%
- price 15%
Gnome vs. KDE:
- Licence differences
- Gnome lacks coherency
Ximian and GNOME: Nat 11:30
-----------------
Open-source based workgroup solution for corporation
Currently user base is engineer driven and mostly decentralized
The trend is to move toward more corporate and centalized deployment
the main driver toward adoption is the price
Key areas:
- usability
- interoperability
- stable platform for ISV
- accessibility
- performances
We know where the big issues are, the main problem is to get
the work down, it gets down to a resource problem.
Round around the table gathering points of discussions:
-------------------------------------------------------
- Tactical work
- Legal:
+ copyright assignment
+ GPL & licence policy
+ Trademark usage rules
+ Written participation agreements
+ Patent policy
- Membership structure
- FSF relationship
- Software part of GNOME requirements
- Relation to system & scope of GNOME
- Library development process
- Roadmap requests
- Deployment
- Interproject cooperation
- GUADEC4
Tactical work:
--------------
Getting sysadmin resources possibly on staff would help
But only administrative staff.
Trying to get extra funding:
- raising fees ? what would be the selling point ? We need to
make a business presentation with the list
- getting individual contributions: paypal and sponsoring
- making sure we get Tax Exemption Status
- trying to chase Government grants and Non Profit organization and
Universities, promoting our Public Benefit mission
- developing countries
- tutorial at GUADEC and other venues
- raise money from the Trademark and make sure we can
define what is required to put the logo on a product
ACTION: Tim will work on organizing the funding search
"The penguins need to be fed too"
Tie schedule and actual benefits and
- execution/process problems
- web site
- communication policy and schedule
- in person meetings
- sysadmin
- money
- marketing
Foundation:
-----------
Lunch: 1:30
------
Afternoon discussion: 3:30
---------------------
Copyright assignment:
- having a Copyright and assignment policy would make sense
- most of our developer base does not understand the semantic
and effects of Copyright ownership and assignment
- assignment cannot be done without doing the proper paper work
and that would be a large task
- having Copyright actually dispersed can protect us in the
long term
A sub-committee of board will discuss the issue with the attorney
ACTION: Jim will make sure this work is started at the Board level.
Asia:
- Gnome needs to stabilize
- getting local developers to learn about GNOME
- software sold in China need to follow governement standards
- freely redistributable chinese/asian fonts are not available
Fonts:
- out of the box having nice fonts for most languages
- metric compatibility with Windows is not a top priority
Roadmap requirement:
- user preference API is now okay for client side, but the
server / back-end is not okay yet, this is on the roadmap for
post 2.0, but should not affect the ABI
- API / ABI , 2.0.1 should have no API change, 2.2 may have
API extensions. There is a clear request that a 2.0 application
would run unmdified on 3.0 .
Office:
- help the Open Office and or integrate with them:
- not easy, we can build bridges at the component level
- trying to reuse the same packaging format
- we need a Gnome Office with unified release and a roadmap
- clear release team Gnome Platform/Gnome Desktop/Gnome Office
Ajourned 5:00

Due to a lack of communication about a last minute change in the
time and location of that meeting, some were not aware of the meeting
or failed to find the meeting room.
Decisions:
----------
- officially approved by consensus the latest version of the by-laws
New Actions:
------------
ACTION: Tim start the Commitee working on funding
ACTION: Nat set up the plans for a small and focused developer meeting
- Consensus on the By-Laws
the whole board approved thei last version
- revamp funding of the fundation:
Some Paypal mechanism
Friends of Gnome program.
Update the fees model based on examination of X Consortium and W3C
practices and problems.
- developer meeting
it is relatively clear that we lack short developer oriented face to
face meeting with an attendance of approximately 30 persons and short
duration (approx 2 days).
- member meeting
discussions over the topic to discuss

Multiterminal servers?
An Anonymous Reader writes “John Looney recently posted to the lkml , asking about the possibilty of one computer serving multiple users. That is to say, multiple keyboards, mice, monitors, etc, hooked up to a single server. The advantages of such a setup in a lab type environment are obvious.
The following discussion ranges through several technical issues with such a configuration, including a kernel limitation of one virtual terminal active at a time, and the typical lack of quality in long video cables. However, none of the issues raised are unbeatable. James Simmons, for example, has been working on cleaning up the virtual terminal code, with many related fixes already merged into Dave Jones’ tree.

Why we’re licensing software
Anonymous Reader writes “Emmett Plant, the well known editor and Linux bon vivant explains why licensing software can be good for everyone. He uses his own project, Ogg Vorbis, as a case in point.”
