    <title>Proper way to prepare and submit a patchset containing implementation of a feature to the Linux kernel project</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.dunedin.general/9274</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi everyone,

There is a Japanese student who participated in the GSoc2011 project on the
implementation of the journal support of hfsplus filesystem:

https://github.com/naota/hfsplus

The implementation is nearly there, but due to his personal circumstances,
never completed.

Then his GSoC mentor Hin-Tak Leung finished the implementation last year,
which targeted Linux 3.0, but he did not have time to test or maintain:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.file-systems/56609

http://htl10.users.sourceforge.net/patchsets/hfsplus_3.0_rfc/hfsplus_standalone_20110815.tar.gz

And based on that tarball, I have fixed the code and got it compiled under
the Ubuntu 12.10 Linux 3.4 kernel:

https://github.com/kcleung/hfsplus

there are only 17 lines changed from Hin-Tak's
hfsplus_standalone_20110815.tar.gz


So what is the proper way to prepare a patchset containing the journal
implementation for submission?

This project started with Linux 3.0, or before by Naota, and therefore the
first patch would have applied in that kernel, which would be substantively
different from the current Linux 3.4-rc5.

Would it be a good idea to rebase the entire patchset (contains ~25
patches) that contains the implementation of the journaling to Linux
3.4-rc5?

Or is it okay if I just diff my current fs/hfsplus/ code against Linux
3.4-rc5 and make a single patch that contains the journal implementation?


I would like to see hfsplus journaling support added into the
kernel..........

Thanks!

Here are a few commands from the list;

*baud &amp;lt;http://www.brendangregg.com/Specials/baud&amp;gt;* Run commands safely 
at their native baud, eg 2400, 9600. Commands are often run over high 
speed ssh or telnet sessions, causing Command Fault Heat State Exception 
(CFHSE) errors due to overbauding. This program helps prevent such faults.

*ishadm &amp;lt;http://www.brendangregg.com/Specials/ishadm&amp;gt;* Information Super 
Highway Administration. This checks and enables network routes to the 
Information Super Highway to ensure maximum Internet performance.

*cdrewind &amp;lt;http://www.brendangregg.com/Specials/cdrewind&amp;gt;* Rewind CDROMs 
before ejection. This should be performed before every ejection, 
otherwise discs can remain positioned incorrectly or can leave tracks 
behind in the drives.

    <title>Comp Maths Talk</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.dunedin.general/9271</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Thank you to those who listened to my talk last night, I hope you
enjoy your free copies of the International Journal of Offshore and
Polar Engineering (199x). More where those came from, rush to get in
first.

Three things :

______HOWTO : 5 minute Comp. Maths. with FEniCS_______

 1) Install FEniCS from the repos of your choice - ideally Ubuntu, but
I compiled it on Fedora (may also be available through yum)
http://fenicsproject.org/documentation/tutorial/misc.html#tut-app-install

 2) Try something short that you can copy-paste,
http://fenicsproject.org/documentation/dolfin/1.0.0/python/demo/pde/biharmonic/python/documentation.html#complete-code
or something a little longer but prettier:
Hyperelasticity :
http://fenicsproject.org/documentation/dolfin/1.0.0/python/demo/pde/hyperelasticity/python/documentation.html
Water flow around a corner :
http://fenicsproject.org/documentation/dolfin/1.0.0/python/demo/pde/navier-stokes/python/documentation.html

 3) Tutorial, so you can work out what you just did :
http://fenicsproject.org/documentation/tutorial/index.html

______Partial Software Recap_______
* TeXmacs (texmacs.org) - GNU TeXmacs is a free wysiwyw (what you see
is what you want) editing platform with special features for
scientists
* Inkscape (inkscape.org) - An Open Source vector graphics editor,
with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using
the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format

Slightly more technical bits,
* Gerris (gerris.org) - new fluids software developed by Stéphane
Popinet at NIWA with rising international uptake
* Paraview (paraview.org) - ParaView is an open-source, multi-platform
data analysis and visualization application
* Scipy (scipy.org) - family of fundamental maths, science and general
plotting Python libraries

Qichang also mentioned Scilab, a potential Matlab replacement, which I
haven't used, but looks interesting,
* Scilab (scilab.org) - free open source software for numerical
computation providing a powerful computing environment for engineering
and scientific applications

______Erratum_____
Spot the "deliberate" mistake,
* F=ma is Newton's second law, not third. Yep, fantastic slip for an
applied mathematician.

And, for anyone who is interested, the BA Flight 9 quote I mentioned :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Airways_Flight_9#cite_ref-Air_Disaster_2-3
They were plummeting without engines for 13 minutes.

    <title>DunLUG Hacker Night - Wed 25th April at the Makerspace</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.dunedin.general/9266</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi All,

Next Wednesday (25th April) we'll be having the DunLUG Hacker Night at 
the Dunedin Makerspace. This will take up our regular DunLUG meeting 
slot. The venue is easy to find at 291 Stuart Street (King Edward 
Technical Court). The room is a little more difficult but is well 
documented here:
http://dspace.org.nz/location/. If you are driving there is ample 
parking at the rear of the building and the room is very near the back 
entrance.

Note that is will be ANZAC day so don't forget to come along at the end 
of your day off work (sorry to all those teleworkers who owe their time 
to non-NZ based companies!). There's limited refreshments at Makerspace 
so please BYO. As responsible adults we need to make sure those 
consuming alcohol (if you bring some) are 18 or over.

The following people will be giving short talks:

* Phil Weir - "an idiot's guide to computational modeling" - I don't 
know how to summarise this so will leave it to your capable minds. Phil 
does promise things like "finite elements", "Swedish Math Libraries" and 
Python.

* Jim Cheetham - an introduction to mitmproxy (developed by occasional 
LUG visitor and security specialist Aldo Cortesi). I'm told that this 
will barely scratch the surface so I'm hoping for something memorable 
like a clever hack. Jim will amaze and astound afterward to anyone 
interested (I will be).

* Bob Brown - playing games on Linux - I know a few "good old games" 
that run well on Linux that capture the mind more than they capture the 
eyeball (no World Of Warcraft I'm sorry) so I'll do my best to share 
some of these with you all, including an overview of the game, how to 
get them, installing issues etc.

We've probably got room for another person to talk about something so if 
this person is YOU then just let me know.

I am planning on chairing the night to make sure that the presentations 
stay on time (expect no more than 15 minutes per topic unless there's a 
very eager crowd) in order to keep it of interest to the most number of 
people.

There is a chance that I won't be available on the night due to my wife 
being due to give birth (again) so in my absence Hayden Bell will be 
keeping things on track. He might have something to talk about also 
(nudge nudge).

There is wireless Internet available at the Makerspace. You're also 
welcome to bring your PC or laptop if you have a problem you would like 
people to have a look at or just for interests sake.

Here's a proposed schedule:

* 7:30 - 8:00 - arrive and socialise
* 8:00 - 9:00 - mini-presentations
* 9:00 onward - general hackery, whatever comes up.

Also, please remember that the Makerspace policy asks (politely) for a 
gold coin koha per attendee which is a very decent price for attendance 
and use of power/space. There is an honesty box available at the venue - 
I will point it out at the start of the presentations.

If you have any questions about the night please email me.

Cheers,

- Bob -

    <title>Kiwi PyCon Sponsorship drive</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.dunedin.general/9264</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi everyone,

As you may know, we’re organising Kiwi PyCon for 2012. The conference is
being held in Dunedin, over the weekend of the 1st and 2nd of September.
I’m hoping that you, or the company you work for will consider sponsoring
the conference.

Kiwi PyCon is organised by the New Zealand Python User group - a
not-for-profit organisation. We don’t make any profit from the conference,
and the organisers donate their free time to make the event a success. We
rely entirely on companies’ sponsorship to pay the bills.

Sponsorship has several advantages for you:

   - It’s an opportunity to get brand exposure in front of the foremost
   Python experts from New Zealand and around the world.
   - Presents a fantastic networking opportunity if you are looking to
   employ engineers now, or in the future.
   - Align yourself with market leaders and past sponsors such as Github,
   Weta Digital, Catalyst IT, Mozilla. Become known as a Python promoter and
   industry leader.
   - Gold sponsors receive five complimentary tickets to the conference and
   their logo on the conference shirt and all print materials.


If you’d like to sponsor the conference, a document describing sponsorship
opportunities is available here:

http://nz.pycon.org/pdf/Kiwi_PyCon_Sponsorship_2012.pdf

To get in touch, either reply to me directly, or email
kiwipycon-sponsorship&amp;lt; at &amp;gt;nzpug.org. Please forward this email to anyone you
think may be interested.

Kind Regards,

&lt;/pre&gt;</description>

Howdy,

We have just come off the tail end of linux.conf.au 2012 and I'm very much
looking forwarded to linux.conf.au 2013 in Canberra next year. However it is
now time to look forwards to 2014.

We are a bit behind on the bid process this year, so we've dropped the
expressions of interest phase and are moving straight into the formal
bids phase.

The new timeline is outlined below:

 * Jan/Feb  - The council updates the bid process documentation.
 * 11th Apr - The council will formally request bids for LCA.
 * 15th Jun - Submission of formal bids closes.
 * Jun-Aug  - The council clarifies any questions regarding the bids and
visits each bid team.
 * Sep      - The council decides on the winning city and informs the
bidding teams.
 * Jan      - The winning bid is announced at the LCA closing ceremony.

From the attendance at the linux.conf.au BOF in Ballarat, there are already
quite a number of teams well on the way to putting together a bid. But
that doesn't mean there isn't room for more.

If you've ever sat in the back of a LUG meeting or LCA talk and had a quick
chat to someone about running an LCA now is the time to put that idea into
action. If you were the person two seats back listening in, go bug that
person
to put in a bid :).

The first thing to to do is to send an email to council&amp;lt; at &amp;gt;linux.org.au
to let them know you are thinking of submitting a bid. You should also
CC linux-aus&amp;lt; at &amp;gt;linux.org.au, this might help you find other people keen
on helping you out.

Once you've finalised your bid document then please send to
council&amp;lt; at &amp;gt;linux.org.au and linux-aus&amp;lt; at &amp;gt;linux.org.au.

Once you've done that here are two documents to help you get started.

 * http://wiki.linux.org.au/Ctte/LCA_Bid_Guidelines
 * http://wiki.linux.org.au/Ctte/LCA_HOWTO

The first outlines what is required for the bid process, while the
second give a fairly detailed overview of the sorts of things you need
to think about when preparing to run an LCA.

If you are thinking of bidding, please put your hand up sooner rather
than later so that the council can make sure you get the support you
need to prepare a high quality bid.

Happy bidding!!

P.S. Please forward this announcement onto local LUG lists and anywhere else
you think is relevant.

Cheers,
John

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Last night we were discussing a few things and here's a list of things 
that I made a note of that you may be interested in.

*AT&amp;amp;T's Microcell's Back Door has a Back Door*

http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/18618/extreme-wifi-makeover-techsnap-52/
In the video, start at 4:00 minutes in, the device, hardware, software, 
AT&amp;amp;T's back door (called "The Wizard") and the unexpected back door into 
The Wizard is discussed in good detail up until 16:45. This is a really 
interesting discussion about how consumer devices that you plug into 
your private network aren't secure just because you have them behind a 
locked door.

*CyberCrime

* DarkMarket was an English-speaking internet cybercrime forum created 
by Renukanth Subramaniam in London that was shut down in 2008 after FBI 
agent J. Keith Mularski infiltrated it using the alias Master Splyntr, 
leading to more than 60 arrests 
worldwide.(&amp;lt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DarkMarket&amp;gt;)

Simon Morton from Radio NZ interviewed Misha Glenny, author of "Dark 
Market: Cyberthieves, Cybercops and You" where they discuss some of the 
realities of CyberCrime, how big the estimated industry is and what's 
going on.

*Mass Hysteria*

It's a wonderful thing to see mass hysteria in action as it hints at the 
subconscious power of our brains to make us believe that we may be 
affected by something and as a result exhibit physical effects.

Brian Dunning, author of the Skeptoid podcast covers this here: 
http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4291. MP3 and transcript available right 
there on the page.

For me, mass hysteria is best summed up by this quote: "The emergency 
room victims were found to be free of any explicable medical causes, and 
were determined to have suffered from a mass sociogenic illness, 
triggered by a frightening odor of unknown origin."

*Drones Over America*

NPR's Dave Davies discusses with John Villasenor the uses of drones in 
the US and how the FAA are working to a pretty tight schedule to fully 
integrate Civil and Private drones into US airspace. By the way thanks 
to Paul Campbell for putting me onto NPR's "Fresh Air" podcast.

Here's an interesting excerpt from the interview:

    DAVIES: And then paparazzi. I mean, if I want to fly over Brad
    Pitt's place and check out his party?

    VILLASENOR: Well, that is going to be the - one of, certainly, some
    of the tests of what the limits are going to be provided by exactly
    that application, because it's a sure bet that paparazzi will want
    to use drones if they can, and obviously that's going to raise some
    very significant questions.

*The Vivaldi Tablet*

I can't wait to see this hit the market. Vivaldi is powered by Mer Core 
and KDE's Plasma Active and at a EUR200 price tag that's pretty nice, 
especially given that it's completely open and runs Linux natively. 
There's no reason why you couldn't run Android on it either - the 
manufacturer doesn't require you to "root" your device, in fact out of 
the box you can boot from your own SD card simply by holding the volume 
button down during power on (or something like that).

This used to be named the Spark Tablet but they renamed it after Sun 
jumped up and down and said it sounded too much like Sparc. Aaron Seigo 
(lead behind the project) just said "Meh, whatever" and changed the 
name. Like a boss.

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Simple problem, but has me stumped.

I ticked the "allways do this action check box whilst saving a PDF, at

have to save them and open them.

This is tiresome, where is the option to change that back?  I've looked,

I have found a couple of articles how to do the MAC based bit, but 
having problems deining everyone else

Thanks in advance

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;I've been thinking about switching to TelstraClear to take advantage of
their latest broadband homeline package bundle for $75/month, but I'm
wondering what their broadband service is like.  Does anyone currently use
them, or recently switched?

I know it can vary quite a bit, but what kind of download upload speeds to
you get if you test it at speedtest.net?

I'm currently on Slingshot and am quite happy with the performance, but
could save $20/month and get larger download cap if I switched.

Thanks,
Michael

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi DunLUGgers,

I'm making a bit of a flying visit through town in the next couple of days.

Will drop into the Duke of Wellington, a venue which I believe you're
familiar with, this coming Sunday at 7pm.

With good fortune, I may even see some of you there and gave an update on
Trans-Tasman Linux activity :)

Best wishes,


Lev

PS: Multicoreworld was pretty damn good!

    <title>DunLUG - Hacker Night and Venue Change (for one meeting atleast)</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.dunedin.general/9220</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi all,

*tl;dr version:
*

  * DunLUG Hacker Night, 25th April - we need presenters
  * DunLUG Venue Change, 23rd May - somewhere in the north end of town
    but where should we?

So we briefly discussed some things last night:

*DunLUG Hacker Night - 25th April*

We'll hold another DunLUG Hacker Night on Wed the 25th of April at the 
Makerspace. Consider this an open call for presenters - if there's 
something that you've been working with, playing with or just want to 
share then here's your chance. There's no hard and fast rule that it 
must be Linux-powered (after all, our meetings only sometimes talk about 
Linux) and if we get a turn out like last time there'll be about 25 
people there.

If you want to present something, just email me back (or the list) and 
I'll keep a list of who's doing what so I can announce it closer to the 
time. There is also a good chance that I might not be available that 
night to coordinate the proceedings (just a bit of shouting) due to my 
wife being close to her delivery date so I could do with someone on 
stand by to run the night in my absence. Email me if you're able to be 
this person.

*DunLUG Meeting - change of venue*

While the Duke of Wellington was undergoing renovations and relocation 
we tried a couple of other locations. With a view to getting more 
interest in DunLUG from new people we're proposing that we run a LUG 
meeting down the north end of town (i.e. somewhere north of the CBD). 
For the sake of picking a date I'll suggest Wed the 23rd of May for 
this. Does anyone have any suggestions for a location? I don't know that 
end of town as well as some of you do.

Cheers,

- Bob -

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi Folks,

Same story as 15 days ago - come to the pub, buy a pint, meet some people
and we might even talk about Linux. If there's enough people and Paul C
turns up we might even be able to do a round or two of Werewolf (
http://www.eblong.com/zarf/werewolf.html)

By the way did you know that:

* We're on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/DunLUG
* We're on Twitter at https://twitter.com/#!/dunlug
* We're not on other networks yet .. but be a champ and manage it yourself
:)

A very loose agenda:

* Fixing a date for the next presentation session at the Makerspace (last
time we agreed it was a good idea and to just pick a date so this time we
will)
* Getting the word out to the public - we've talked about this before but
I'll be there this time to make notes and let's get into it
* Venue Discussion - I'm keen on being somewhere with Internet access so we
can geek out a little, would be keen on others thoughts

See you tomorrow night from 7:30pm.

Cheers,

- Bob -
