We‘ll be attending The Killers‘ concert tonight. I’m not completely fan of their synthesized-rock-indie music, but she likes them so much and she made me dig their last album, Sam’s Town, like a thousand times in the car; so I acceded and bought the tickets online. She was even jelaous of a friend who is also attending, heh I wasn’t happy at all since they are still a more or less new band, they only have two albums released and prices for tickets were high as hell (ironic), but her surprise smile worth it, it definitively does.

Sexism Amaya was right to point out an example of sexism at a recent open source developers conference. She makes reference to the Debian Women group as an example of a good thing. I was talking to Erinn recently and told her that my impression was that the Women project had stalled/ceased. Mostly because there didn’t seem to be anything happening. I think that this is both a good thing, and a bad thing. Good in the sense that the idea of female developers isn’t a suprise (as it shouldn’t be) and that the previously overt sexist hostility is going away. But bad in the sense that there should be ongoing work so that we don’t start to take it for granted and ignore other newcomers and women. There are several reasons why projects like this stall; one of the most obvious is that writing documentation is hard. Really. You don’t know how hard it is until you try to do a little every day for week after week after week. (And there are times when I think of writing a book. Ha!) There are other reasons too; such as the difficulty in attracting volunteers who are matched to their jobs, and who in turn have the time to do useful things. So Planet Debian how are you going to help our women today? I’ll make sure I avoid sexist lyrics in my titles from here on out.. not a huge change since I tend to avoid it generally, much as I would love to fill entries with Depeche Mode lyrics I guess I have better places for emo-rants. One small step ..

By the time i had a poor ThinkPad 660E my way to interact with the computer was IceWM. It was small, light, configurable and it had everything i needed. Or almost. Now that the frenziness of changing names to ice* has started, i keep wondering why not renaming icewm to iceicewm. And no, abcde will not be renamed, although iceicebaby will be a good name for hotbabe. ;) abcde needs one more upload and a pray to debian-release to accept it for etch (2.3.99.6 has some problems, and 2.3.99.7 aka 2.4 should solve most of them). On (un)related news, trac 0.10.3~rc1 was accepted into etch. Is a bugfix release, and should have no regressions, over 0.10.2, which was a bit messy. 0.10.3 proper will be uploaded tonight, and it is just a re-brand over 0.10.3~rc1 with no changes in the code.

07 Dec 2006, at the Open Source Developers Conference in Melbourne, at a lightning talk session, quoting Why there s few women in IT, at Richard Jones blog:

The conference last week was educational for the committee in a way that was completely unexpected:

Observation 1: During one of the lightning talks a presenter put some porn up on the big screen. He was peripherally discussing a Perl module called Acme::Playmate (which basically looks up Playmate info on the playboy playmate directory).

We (the committee) had never thought it would be necessary to have to explicitly say that it s not OK to put up porn. Or that we d have to actively discourage discussing a module that would clearly offend members of the audience.

Observation 2: I was amazed that Acme::Playmate exists in (and is blessed by) CPAN.

I spoke before the keynote the next day apologising to the attendees and our sponsors for what had happened.

Observation 3: Some attendees thought that we had overreacted by even saying anything.

At least one woman walked out the conference. The next morning, the organisers apologised to the attendees and their sponsors for the images.

You can read more, including the guy s name at Mary Gardiner's blog entry. Quoting:

I gave a 5 minute lightning talk at OSDC entitled Women in FOSS groups [...]. It was mostly an attempt to jam Adam Kennedy s lightning talk about Acme::Playmate, which featured lingerie shots of women (and maybe topless shots, I didn t want to watch it [...]). So mine featured pictures of women, fully clothed, with labels like Linux user and AI researcher.

I still wonder where the slides from the Debian ftp-masters s talk at Debconf 3 are available from, because of the technical content of the slides was good, only the way it was presented made this ftp-master team like a boys-only club where no women would ever belong. Because it made me want to walkout, but instead I stayed there and almost cried. Update: I found the slides.

Of course, this was 2003, it is all forgotten and forgiven, and Debian, including the speakers that gave this talk, has really changed since The Debian Women Project was started in Brazil, 2004. And I mean really changed. Even the ftp-masters scripts named after Elmo s Angels were renamed in the latest Dak release (look for What does each script do at The DebianEdu ftpmaster-Howto for the cuties names). I am no longer bitter about this. I am even happy it happened because it indeed motivated me to start the whole flamewar, as it even came up on Debian Weekly News - March 9th, 2004.

<peterS> Amaya: as Lincoln once said to Harriet Beecher Stowe: so you re the little woman who started this big war   (/me refers to the now famous -vote thread)

While I sometimes think Debian Women died from success, stories like this remind me why Debian Women is still needed and useful.

Today I have effectively started with my Master Project! I have been been at it for a few days already in the past weeks though, but now I’m sitting on my own spot working on some proofs. So, what am I actually doing? Well that’s still hard to put in words yet and it also requires some process algebra and general math prior knowledge, but I’ll try. My graduation supervisor is Bas Luttik and in July he co-published a paper on defining a finite equational base (a set of equations from which all others can be derived) for a specific process algebra called CCS. This paper used a specific subset of CCS, namely without restriction (hiding) and relabelling. Restriction is an operator of the process algebra to block certain actions of happening, relabelling is an operator to replace actions by other actions. Take 1 of my project is to try to consider this algebra with restriction and finding a new equational base and proof that either it works or it can not be done. This is a risky assignment because it can lead to: we have tried but haven’t gotten either results. The short period to come will entail considering CCS with restriction but without concurrency to drastically reduce the cases to be considered. If we succeed, we’ll continue with CCS with restriction and concurrency. If we do not succeed it’s quite possible we’ll change my project assignment. More to come!

Yesterday the release manager Andreas ‘aba’ Barth announced:

Etch is now frozen! Wheeeeeee!!!

This means, that “all packages now need to be hand-approved in order to go to testing”.
So policyd-weight needs to be hinted, which is already done, but ipplan will never make it into etch, since its out of NEW only 2 days ago. So here needs etch-backports to take place.
I hope etch will be released now soon (mid next month). Good work since here .. go ahead! Anyways … many, many thanks goes to my great sponsor Daniel Baumann. Without his patience and help this list of packages would never happen. Debian, opensource, Packaging, planet

So I am back to le study of le hackers, trying to write a super-secret paper that I will present in January and then of course I am back with and to my beloved book (which for now has the following title: “Freedom’s Pleasures: Hacker Practice And The Limits of Liberalism” but I am sure it will morph, endlessly). As part of my transition I just finished re-reading one of my favorite articles on the history of Usenet: If I want it, it s OK: Usenet and the (outer) limits of free speech by B. Pfaffenberger (available here for download. When I released one of my dissertation chapters where I addressed the phenomenon of the Cabal, Bryan was nice enough to write me and point me to his article, which also examines the existence of Backbone Usenet Cabal. The artile, which provides just the right mix of history and commentary, analyzes how a free speech ethic came to be valued on Usenet and the ways in which technological and social factors co-mingled to facilitate and dampen the free flow of expression. You are provided with classic Usenet quotes like:

Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea–massive, diffi-
cult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of mind-boggling
amounts of excrement when you least expect it. (Spafford, 1993b)

You learn about the early attempts to control spam by the likes of “CancelMoose:”

In 1995, a secret, shadowy figure known as the CancelMoose
devised a spam-canceling program called a cancelbot.”

And then in the end, he provides his challeng to one of the dominant STS theories of the time, SCOT: “It should be noted that this picture is at odds with the predictions of the social construc-
tion of technology (SCOT) theory (Pinch & Bijker, 1987), in which the outcome of a period
of technical controversy is ascribed solely to social factors. Underlying SCOT s dogmatism
is a justifiable aversion to technological determinism, the doctrine that a technology s con-
tent leads irresistably to predictable social consequences a doctrine that is simply the re-
verse of SCOT s insistence on social causation. Two wrongs, as we were taught in kinder-
garten, do not make a right. What we see in the history of Usenet is a contingent outcome
that is shaped neither exclusively by social nor by technical factors, but rather is best under-
stood as a long process in which contesting groups attempt to mold and shape the technol-
ogy to suit their ends sometimes successfully, and sometimes not. They are as likely to be
blindsided by technological developments as they were to succeed in changing the system
to meet their ends. As this article attests, it is one thing to create new technologies with a
coherent social vision, and it is quite another to control the way it grows and develops.” I could not agree with him more. I think what he is highlighting is that if we dip into the historical record, we have instances in which technology can trump the social and vice-versa (and often instead it is a co-mixture), so in the end, understanding the impact of technologies is less about theories of technology and more of a historical question…

Yesterday was general assembly of the Linux user group Aargau (a place in switzerland). The association hasn’t got enough money, this is a severel months old story already, and the person who managed the money was very inactive. The president also didn’t want to do his job anymore, so we had to search a new advisory board. Unfortunately there weren’t enough members who are interested in this job, so the association will be resolved. This is quite hard for me because I met there some cool people which became (some of them at least) good friends, I say “thank you very much” to G rkan, Daniel, David, Werewolfi, Harzi, Nils, B, Vany and last but not least also to the “swisscom idiot”…
Yeah, there isn’t much more to say about this, only that I will miss those cool evenings very much But from another point of view, yesterday was a very good day because Debian Etch is finally frozen, so we had to celebrate at the LUG-AG meeting and there are some pictures (the big ones are 403, if you want them just send me a mail and I will allow it for your IP). Thanks to all Debian people who helped getting Etch in shape and thanks to the releasemanagers…

I started a Wiki Page about what could be improved in Debian. There are a few ideas already on that page, but I am curious what people come up with. I do hope that this page can serve at some point to pick a few key points that we can work towards for the next release (after etch). Note that these does not need to be features or cool software, but also stuff like the ultimate spam defense for list traffic or so...

The fight against terrorist has been mostly abandoned in favour of the fight for terrorist fighting money from the federal (U.S.) governement. And, it appears, the fight for the biggest silliness. But they still tell me the Ministry of Silly Walks doesn't exist...

[...] a mathematical value purporting to represent the square root of terrorist intent. The figure appears deep in the mind-numbingly complex risk-assessment formulas that the department used in 2006 to decide the likelihood that a place is or will become a terrorist target [...]

Needless to say, locations with more likely to-be-attacked locations get more money. And, as it turns out, frequently have more republican politicians.

Several years ago, Pinochet was prosecuted by the Spanish judge Baltasar Garz n:


On October 17, 1998, while traveling to the United Kingdom for medical treatment, Pinochet was arrested on a Spanish provisional warrant for the murder in Chile of Spanish citizens while he was president. Five days later, Pinochet was served with a second provisional arrest warrant from judge Baltasar Garz n of Spain charging him with systematic torture, murder, illegal detention, and disappearances. Pinochet was placed under house arrest in Britain while appealing the legal authority of the Spanish and British courts to try him, but eventually released on medical grounds by the then Home Secretary Jack Straw without facing trial. .

Garz n became my hero since that very moment.

Since then I have been repeating like crazy: Pinochet, al talego , which barely means Get Pinochet behind bars . Now I am smiling as I think Pinochet, al hoyo , which I will not even try to translate. I pity the worms his unpunished criminal corpse will breed.

Go take a look at the Valech Report.

Cheers!

It's been more than one year that I'm waiting on NM queue, waiting for an Applicant Manager, performing Philosophy & Procedure part 1 & 2, then Tasks & Skills.

When applying for NM, it's really appreciated to already maintain a few packages in the archive, so for T&S the AM can check them and appreciate the work done. I guess people applying for NM first start by taking care of some package, before submitting.

But for me, it was the opposite way. I joined pkg-xfce team more than 18 months ago, and got my first packages in the archive a few weeks later.

I only applied to NM 6 months later, because, as I was dedicating more time to pkg-xfce, it would be more efficient for me to be able to upload directly, without
bothering huggie or ema (the two DDs in the team). It wasn't really required, but
it interested me, and huggie said me that it'd take some time so the sooner, the better.

Now, due to personal reason, huggie and ema don't have time/motivation anymore to work on pkg-xfce. I'm currently the one in charge, as I spent some time on it, and tries to spent some time on debian-desktop team, so we have a nice and consistent look for desktop environments in Etch. But I can't upload my packages myself, I need to find a sponsor. Xfce represent more than 50 packages (including goodies), that's quite a lot, and we have scripts and procedure to be efficient when rebuilding everything. If I could do everything myself, Xfce 4.4rc2 (released 2006/11/05) would have been in Etch since a long time. But I can't, because I'm stuck in NM queue.

Most of 4.4rc2 packages have been uploaded by my AM, Dafydd Harries (which I want to thank, though), but not everything, and few packages won't be in Etch, now that it's frozen. Yeah, that means that Etch will have half rc1 and half rc2, which isn't really good. Not really bad either, but still... (ok, and not as bad as shipping broken svn snapshots...)

I'm interested in beeing a Debian Developper because I *know* it'll make my work and my time more efficient. And not beeing able to push rc2 to Etch because of that really makes me sad...

(Translated from my same post in Spanish) A few days ago, McDonald published a cartoon on the end of the dictator Pinochet. Yesterday, fascist dictator Augusto Pinochet died in the Military Hospital in Santiago, after heart and lung diseases, being 91 years old. Now, current president Michelle Bachelet, a moderate socialist, in case Pinochet is given State memorials, could be attending the ceremony (in a predominantly conservative country as Chile), even after she was tortured and persecuted under the dictatorship and his father was murdered under the regimen, after serving Salvador Allende‘ government. Shitty life, huh? Viva Chile!, just as the ironman stated.

I work at the Ministerio de Administraciones P blicas, the MAP. My main task there is to administer an email cluster for something between 8.000 and 10.000 users, based on free software (LDAP, Postfix, Amavis...) which has been pretty fulfilling so far.

The problem they have is a lot of consultants from external companies that come for big or small projects and they know of no easy way of being able to grant enough permissions to achieve certain tasks without giving away the root password and having to change it every other day. I am one of these external consultants, only I am there for a long term project. I have been there for more than a year and a half now, and our contract was just renovated for two more years. This basically means I am doing my job pretty well.

But a couple of months ago, the company I work for, Alanta, agreed with the MAP on me giving a 12h a training session on sudo. After spending 100 hours in preparing my slides on a sudo workshop (spanish only, sorry), starting from file permissions to ssh public-private key pairs, and ending with sudo, a high amount of stress, as I had to work full time as I prepared this in paralel, I bitterly complained to my boss. (That s when the cleaning started, BTW).

So we had a nice lunch in which I was given a 200 EUR 2GB 2nd Generation Silver Ipod Nano. Which is nice, but taking into account that when I worked for IBM as a certified trainer I made something between 24-60 EUR per hour, depending on the subject, and all the material (slides, exercises, TOC and Trainer material) was already done for me, so I just had to prepare and give my lessons, I felt patronized and a bit insulted, even if I did not expect any compensation for this extra effort that really damaged my (mental) health. Getting presents in exchange for hard work doesn t make sense for me, specially when I can hardly make it to the end of the month, constantly being in (small, to be honest) debt.

But you could be making more money, couldn t you? Yes, sure. But at what price? I like the relaxed work environment and the lack of sexism in my current project. I have plenty of spare time, and my life quality is overall great, I can walk home from work, I am not juiced and then disposed of, despite the punctual stressful periods everyone gets every once in a while (which are rare here, at MAP).

And this thing will never run IpodLinux or Rockbox. I feel like I want to throw it out the window. It lacks support for my favourite music file formats, UTF-8 and hangs up more than MS Windows 95.

There were more shocking news for me when I got back home yesterday. Via Toni Hermoso, I learned that Toni Cucarella, a Valencian writer I recently discovered, just announced that he has abandoned his writing activities, just a little bit after announcing he wouldn't further update his blog. I learned about Toni Cucarella's literature aproximately one year ago, when I heard about a new novel, Quina lenta agonia, la dels ametlers perduts, on the radio, which sounded interesting. The book fascinated me as soon as I started reading. Describing the life of a group of children in the outskirts of X tiva, a small city south of Val ncia, in the late 1960s, Cucarella managed to transmit some feelings about my childhood during the summers of the early 80s around my town in the inner province of Castell . It wasn't anything in particular what did this, but the way the book was written, which managed to describe how these kids lived happily and in freedom around their houses, regardless their economic status and the difficulties their families went through. All of this reminded me of my sister, cousins and friends running around the streets and fields, away from our parents or any adults, in a time when nobody thought this was dangerous or irresponsible. The only two sins were to play on the road or to get back home a lot after the sunset. Toni Cucarella has been very vocal against the Language Authorities in Val ncia regarding the unity of the Catalan language, and specifically against the Acad mia Valenciana de la Llengua, a recently created institution which now has competence over the "Valencian language", something that was previously in the hands of a scientific institution like the Universitat de Val ncia. He has finally burned out, not only due to the bad situation Catalan literature is in the Valencian Country, but also because leaving aside two very prominent exceptions, Valencian authors are basically ignored in Catalunya, making their subsistence quite difficult. I hope Toni can build some new motivations after some time and the public can enjoy new novels written by him in the future, as well as more of those very interesting blog entries we had got used to reading every few days. In the meanwhile, thanks for your writings, Toni, and good luck with your new activities!

Last night, when we got home after the long weekend up around theawesome Terres de l'Ebre, first thing I learned from the news is that Augusto Pinochet had finally died while we were driving back. It is too bad that once again he managed to avoid a trial that would have made him officially guilty of all the horrible happenings of Chile during his military coup and his bloody dictatorship. But he's gone now, and this will be a great relief for the thousands of Chileans who survived his regime, and for those who lost family members or friends just because they defended some ideals. The world will associate his surname to torture, murder and corruption; he surely won't be remembered for the image of the old, calm man surrounded by family members that an ever-shrinking minority tried to transmit. Last night, I raised my cup to celebrate Pinochet's death. Viva Chile!

The Wireless Telegraphy (Exemption) (Amendment) Regulations 2006 came into effect on Friday 8 December. It is now legal to use CE-marked "micro" FM transmitters, which are intended for linking portable ogg players to nearby FM radios. Transmitters can have at most 50mW power (if I understand page 35 of Ofcom's Interface Requirements 2030), compared for the local 100W commercial station on top of the hill, 25W for a full Restricted Service Licensee, 1W for low-power FM (LPFM) and 300mW for stadium commentary stations. Update: Kimmo Jukarainen / OH3GNU commented:

"Minor correction - those "micro FM" transmitters seem to be only 50 nW (nanowatts), not 50mW (milliwatts). At least according to http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consult/condocs/exemption/exemption.pdf I couldn't find the final document from Ofcom's web, but that draft's 50nW is in sync with Finland's similar regulation from August."

Good catch! It's IR 2030 from this list and I used a graphical viewer to see the tables. In sans-serif fonts like that, m and n look very similar to my poor eyes. Good old ps2ascii indeed confirms

v 87.5 - 108 MHz 50 nW e.r.p.

Can you do anything with 50nW? Does the transmitter have to sit on top of the receiver? See the statement from government agency Ofcom for more information. Anyone heard any fun uses of these yet? Tobias commented:

"These transmitters were legalised some month ago in Germany, too. eBay is still overflowing with illegal HK-imports... I made a small list of device which are allowed in Germany on my homepage (see link, currently only in German, since this is now interesting for people from the UK, I will translate it this week...) - See the list at the bottom of the German page for the currently allowed devices..."

Rob Hart commented:

"If you assume power from a distant transmitter is inverse-cube law, then 50nw at 80cm, is equivalent to 100w at 1km."

Andy Parkins commented:

"The joys of the inverse square law make this not so crazy. Take the 100W transmitter on a hill. Let's say you were 20km away from it. The energy density would be 100/(pi*20000^2) = 79nW per sq metre. It's fairly clear then that as long as you're close to a 50nW transmitter, you will see a signal strength not dissimilar to the signal strength you're getting from the big transmitter. (Incidentally, this is the same reason why mobile phone masts are definitely not dangerous, but mobile phone handsets could potentially be (although unlikely))."

The 100W transmitter is 1km away, so 100/(pi*1000^2) = 31830 nW/m^2, compared to my 50nW? And inverse-square or inverse-cube? (Did I mention I hate physics?) Simon Farnsworth commented:

"50nW should be enough power to just about get from a transmitter in a car to a receiver in the same car, provided you've chosen a frequency that's only used by other 50nW devices. Don't forget when trying to work this all out that the inverse square law applies; my maths suggests that if you can receive a 100W transmission from 45km away, you'll be able to receive a 50nW transmission from 1m with the same field strength. Given the sensitivities of a car radio (in my case, I can pick up 2-Ten FM on 102.9 from high terrain in Oxford, some 50 km away from the transmitter), 50nW should be enough for a car radio to pick up a transmitter in the car (1m from the receiver). It's clearly intended to let you use a microtransmitter with your Ogg player in your car, while not letting you use enough power to interfere with the radio in the lorry you're overtaking (whether the driver's listening to their Ogg player through a similar microtransmitter, or to commercial radio)."

Damnit, I wondered about broadcasting to the estate around and beneath me.

A few month ago, I blogged a way to spread Free Software effectively, especially in developing countries: By deploying Free Software in internet caf s, where most people learn their way around computers. Most of them (and there are a lot, much more than in Europe) have a buisness plan that relies on software for free, but currently they achieve that through pirating Windows and software like Cybercafe Pro. Back than, I wrote this more or less theoretically, but it happend that I ended up having some time to actually start working on it.While Free Software, especially Debian, provides a very good base to build internet caf s from, one key component is more or less missing: Software to hand out these codes ( timecodes ) to the customer, to let them log in and surf for the time they bought. Very recently, Zybacafe was released, but I did not really like it, nor felt like maintaining a Pascal/Lazarus based Debian package. So I went ahead and implemented my own ideas.The Idea is to keep it very simple, very modularized and integrate deeply with normal unix ideas. So what we have now is a PostgreSQL database (one table so far), and all communication just goes via this table, so we don t have to design or implement complicated protocols. A python gtk application for the front desk generates the timecodes that are then, on paper, passed to the customer. The workstations greet the user with standard GDM, but our pam modules authenticates the timecode instead of a username/password pair. While using the system, a small floating window informs the user about the remaining time. If he does not log out voluntarily, a system daemon will kill all his processes eventually.The long term mission is to form that into a Custom Debian Distribution that will install the server hassle-less, and besides being pre-configured for the internet caf s needs, also immediately serves as an automated installation server for the workstations (think FAI), all useing stock Debian packages, as far as possible. Another pam module could, upon login, mount the homedirectory as a copy-on-write overlay of a template user s home directory, and through away the changes afterwards. The goal is to offer easier installation, less maintenance, better robustness and more flexibility than the current common non-free systems.But, of course, this project needs help. First of all: Users! If you have any use for time-limited logins (Internet caf , school surf terminaly, parents with otherwise not to bed going kids), you can be an earliy adaptor. Developers are very welcome as well, and due to the modular structure, cooperation should be quite smooth.The development happens on alioth, where we have the subversion repositry, as well as on the Debian wiki page. Alpha packages for these components can be found on the alioth group s webspace. We do not have a mailing list yet, but feel free to e-mail me. We will set up a mailing list once there is a need for it. Thank s to the KACE for supporting this.

It looks like November-December are the most popular months for people coming to visit me, or crashing at my place in their way to their final destination.

In November I had the pleasure to host Sulamita, while she was on her way to India. One of the most interesting girls I have met this year.

Baby Jesus left yesterday, after spending several days at my place. He brought Salmiakki, smoked salmon and smoked reindeer with him, which I used to like before I became vegan (and later pescatarian). The salmon was incredible, though.

Just as I was writing these lines, Luk, who was also going to stay at my place before The Extremadura QA Meeting called me from BRU airport claiming his ticket had been cancelled :( I called C sar and found out that the travel agent they work with had not bothered to confirm several people s flights, so he will be coming to Spain on the 13th, just like everyone else. He will not be staying at my place, and will miss out on the smoked reindeer, that will be eaten by some other carnivore, I guess .

The great man I got the Linksys from lies sick in my bed, and spends almost as much time at my place than at his own, so I guess he doesn t count.
