similar to: Conservancy (home of Samba) needs support for GPL enforcement.

For a number of years now, the Samba Team has been a member of the Software Freedom Conservancy. They handle quite a bit of administration for our project as well as pursuing GPL compliance. If you'd like to see more about what they do, please check: https://sfconservancy.org/about/ We urge you to support the Conservancy. Here is a message from our own Jeremy Allison:

Apologies if this is a little off-topic, but the Software Freedom Conservancy (which is the legal umberella organization for the Samba Project and may other Free Software projects such as Wine) just announced their "Supporters" program: http://sfconservancy.org/supporter/ Please check it out, and if you're feeling generous - join :-).

Xapian is in the process of joining the Software Freedom Conservancy (https://sfconservancy.org/), but one thing we need to sort out before we can finalise this is some sort of more formal project leadership structure. James Aylett and I have discussed this with Bradley Kuhn from Conservancy, and we think the most appropriate model currently would be a small group of at least 3 (to avoid deadlock

I'm using Dovecot's sieve extensions quite happily, they are very good! Thanks for all who worked on them. I have a question that maybe is appropriate for a sieve-specific discussion list, so if there is one I should post to instead, please let me know: I've poked through the sieve vacation RFC and all the documentation I can find and I cannot figure out how to do this. It's

Hi all, Following the lines of Red Hat's announcement for commitment for better open-source model, along with many other companies (lead by Facebook/Google/IBM) [1], Gluster project is also proposing to have the COMMITMENT statement in its project. While we discuss about the same here, a RFC patch is submitted to review. [2] [1] -

In the event that a lawyer is consulted, I would suggest finding one with real experience in open source law. In my experience, even most intellectual property or software attorneys have little to no experience with open source law, and I've heard the most dreadful and incorrect utterances from them on the topic of open source licenses. Duncan is correct that parts of R may be

Synology ( https://www.synology.com/en-global ) is one of best selling brands of consumer/prosumer/SMB NASes, with revenue estimated to be in the $100M+ range. Several of their NAS backup options use rsync either explicitly or under the hood (NAS-to-Remote-NAS backup, Shared-Folder-Sync), and they run the rsync daemon (under File Services). rsync is an integral part of their solution. They use a

Hi all, After loading the GplPV drivers for Windows Server 2008, I wanted to get rid of the annoying F8 option when rebooting each time. I looked at Ready Driver Plus, which seemed to work, but was only a workaround. It also seemed to kill my terminal connection from Dom0. After some research, I found another way: http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=dseo Which will disable driver

Hi gents, I seem to have a small issue with fping and Observium(a monitoring solution). The particular VPS I'm using does have SELinux enabled and it seems to be causing issues when the httpd process is attempting to use Fping? Here is what I know so far : Output from "audit2why -a" : --------------- type=AVC msg=audit(1414265994.125:6744): avc: denied { create } for

Hello, I've encountered a password enforcement problem with OpenSSH on AIX. In AIX, when the user contains the flags = ADMCHG in the /etc/security/passwd file, the user is forced to change the password at next login. It works for telnet but it does not work under the OpenSSH v3.4 version. Based on my research, it appears this issue is resolved with OpenSSH v3.8p1. Can anyone confirm?

I'm currently setting up postfix and dovecot with virtual users (mysql), imap, and quotas. I'm setting the quotas using mysql. I have quotas working correctly, and I can telnet into the imap server, and submit . getquotaroot inbox and get back valid quota information. I get a maildirsize file in the Maildir directory. Very cool. When I delete mail and expunge it, the quota updates.

I use this naming convention for primary keys: ActiveRecord::Base.primary_key_prefix_type = :table_name_with_underscore I generate the MySQL test database: rake db:test:prepare, and although the column is there there is no primary key enforcement/index and no autoincrement (so activerecord saves fail). Is this a bug? What is the best workaround? Alan
