LinuxSecurity: “This week advisories were released for webalizer, ssh-nonfree, ssh-socks, postix, and the Korean release of Red Hat. The
vendors include Conectiva, Debian, and Red Hat. Are you looking for more Linux security related information? Hal Burgiss has
finished the first version of his very thorough Linux Security Quick-Start Guide. In an interview, LinuxSecurity.com speaks with
Hal about his documents and Linux security.”

YetAnother.org: “It’s been a long time between diary entries. But that’s because I’ve been pushing myself to get as much done as
possible in these last two months of 2001.

Apart from developing a string of new modules (of which more over the coming weeks), I’ve been planning my
speaking tour for January/February next year (of which more in my next diary entry), and I’ve been spending time on
Perl Monks (a very useful source of ideas), and I’ve been writing a new article for the next issue of the Perl Journal,
and I’ve been thinking hard about the OO mechanism in Perl 6 and how we can make it robust, clean, and yet still
Perlishly flexible.”

Net-Security: “Terminal services has a bug that allows an attacker to cause both the Terminal Services
Manager and the Event Log to record a spoofed IP address for Terminal Services
connections. Although the operating system itself is not fooled, if an administrator is
not aware of the issue he would not have reason to distrust the IP address reported by
Terminal Services.”

ZDNET: “Advanced Micro Devices trotted out a new 1.2GHz Duron processor Thursday, its second
value-chip debut of the week. The chip is AMD’s latest processor option for low-price desktop
PCs. It comes closely after AMD’s 1.1GHz Duron, which launched Oct. 1.”

“Begin to to work on the Trademark registration for “GNOME” and the foot…”

 Discussion:
 ===========
 
  - approve last meeting minutes:
    http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-announce/2001-November/msg00000.html
 
  - Discussing the topic to discuss with a representative from HP
    We met informally on the phone with him to discuss HP/Gnome
    relationship like we did 2 weeks ago with a Sun representative
      - printing and fonts
 
  - Discuss issue of Tim's candidacy, make sure everyone is OK with
    however we are proceeding
    Director and CEO usually serve on the Board of Director as Maciej posted,
    this is common practice.
    If the board were to change from decisions by consensus to decisions by
    vote, then Tim would get a vote, if elected as a board member.  He
    wouldn't vote in the case of a conflict of interest.
 
  - Report on ALS
    Linux Terminal Servers, there is specific problems, Havoc sent an
    email to gnome-hacker
    Accessibility was tested and demonstrated
    GStreamer presentation was looking like that it's coming along nicely
    which is great because we were poor in that regard in comparison to other
    recent desktops. The Xine player was impressive too.
    Leslie gathered a lots of contacts and informations,
    it also proved that the "Friends of GNOME" program really got a
    lot of support.
 
  - Update on elections
    Check gnome-announces, they are delayed by a week, but it's fine.
 
  - Update on incorporation
    Going forward we have 3 attorneys working on current legal matters.
    We would have to do a Trademark search, then register it.
    Seems we have to do that since we have the resources now.
    => approval of that process
 
  - Update on GNOME 2
    The second platform alpha shipped, it is API frozen now but
    this could be discussed directly with the release Team for accessibility
    only purposes.
    The board suggest the release team start being stubborn and strong against
    API change requests.
    The window manager is a problem, sawfish is the main option but we are
    not sure when it will get ported.
 
  - Discuss Leslie's Proctors PR plans:
    The Marketing Working Group is meeting every 2 weeks
    Building a month by month task list
    Trying to build "global partners" who can disseminate informations
    Cross-platform capability is one key PR point
    Building a budget for marketing, and asking member companies for help

“The UUXIIs are unofficial unsupported Ximianized ISO
images of GNU/Linux distributions. That means we took
the standard ISO images, took out the original GNOME
packages, and put the Ximian GNOME packages on there
instead, so you can install the distribution complete
with Ximian GNOME from the same CDs, in one operation,
from the standard distribution installer.”

We've done this to Red Hat 7.2 and Red Hat 7.1, the 
images include the most recent Ximian GNOME, and also
all the updated packages from Red Hat. We took out
stuff because space was limited, so the original 
RH GNOME packages are not on the CD.

Please go to http://uuxii.cofradia.org/, there  you'll
find the latest information about the UUXIIs, a list
of current mirrors and MD5 checksums for the images.

If you are interested in mirroring this images, mail 
me at uuxii@celorio.com so that we can coordinate it.

Linux PR is announcing another Linux conference, this time in Ankara, Turkey, on December 8th and 9th of this year at the METU Cultural and Convention Center.

Linux PR reports that Banaglore will have India’s first stand-alone Linux conference, which will last three days from December 10th to December 12th of this year.

ZDNet reports that “a new e-mail tool that allows Lotus Notes and Domino users to retract unread e-mails from a person’s inbox could be breaking surveillance and data protection laws within the U.K.”

After letting it slide, MSNBC reports that the US senate has renewed the US government’s ban on Internet taxes for an additional two years.
