[admin] Lisp Education CD as ISO project
by Heow Eide-Goodman 12 Oct '04

12 Oct '04

Hi there, LispNYC.org has created a free self-booting Lisp Education CD which contains: * 3 complete Lisp Deveopment Systems * 3 full length books * numbers of tutorials, references, etc. ...all in a single integrated environment. It debuted at Linux World Expo with almost 100 CDs given out to interested individuals. Someone enjoyed it so much, they came back the next day to give LispNYC.org a $20 donation! Anyway, the problem is that LispNYC is running on DSL and cannot host an ISO, which is why I'd like to include it on common-lisp.net. We expect anywhere between 2 and 10 downloads per week (currently a steady 3 requests per week) and I'd also be setting up a mailing list etc. But due to the fact that there exists within the CD: * copyrighted software (Allegro CL and LispWorks) * copyrighted work (Successful Lisp, OnLisp) and the fact that various authors specifically request that: * they retain copyright to their work * it not enter the 'public domain' * the CD remain free of charge ...the license is unique in that the CD expressively remains free (as in without cost) yet not fall into the public domain or under a different license. This of course dose not preclude some of the seperate works falling under a more lenient license. Thus only LispNYC.org, the ALU and myself can legally distribute it. We, of course, have explicit permission from every author to distribute the content found on the CD, which was no small task. :-) Thanks, - Heow

[admin] Keysigning frenzy
by Nikodemus Siivola 26 Feb '04

26 Feb '04

Ok, having my home connectivity restored at least temporarily I've now signed all the user keys that /home/*/pubkey.asc found. That was a few! I'm rather flabbergasted how can gpg not have an option "list all keys that match criteria X". Maybe I'm just blind. It seems to me that the easiest way to sign a ton of keys is to: 1) gpg --import /home/*/pubkey.asc 2) in other window gpg --list-sigs | grep -v "User id not found" | less and look for keys we haven't signed 3) gpg --sign <paste-from-other-window>, repeat until 4) gpg --send-keys 4) gpg --armor --export > ... Not all that automatable. Cheers, -- Nikodemus Siivola

[admin] announce@common-lisp.net
by Marco Baringer 26 Feb '04

26 Feb '04

I would like to repeat my offer to moderate announce(a)common-lisp.net (i'd be nicer if all annoucment lists where moderated by the individual developers though). Slightly related to this I have a question about mailman: Is there way i can, via email, tell mailman to drop a message instead of having to keep going to that horrible web interface? -- Marco Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget the perfect offering. There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in. -Leonard Cohen

[admin] Cello project?
by Kenny Tilton 26 Feb '04

26 Feb '04

Gents, It looks as if a portable CL gui is going to happen: Frank Goenninger has Cello running under Linux/X11. It is still a close call in my mind as to whether Cello needs its own project, but I can imagine someone interested only in Cells being swamped with all the Cello traffic if it takes off. So I would like to apply for hosting for Cello here on common-lisp.net. cheers, kenny -- http://tilton-technology.com Why Lisp? http://alu.cliki.net/RtL%20Highlight%20Film Your Project Here! http://alu.cliki.net/Industry%20Application

[admin] Okay to use authorized_keys?
by Peter Seibel 26 Feb '04

26 Feb '04

So I was skimming the link from the FAQ about using ssh-agent to enable passwordless connections to common-lisp.net and it occured to me that I could just scp the authorized_keys file that has my public ssh keys in it to common-lisp.net and be good to go. Is there any reason not to do that? (The private keys is on my personal machines which are behind a NAT firewall.) -Peter -- Peter Seibel peter(a)javamonkey.com Lisp is the red pill. -- John Fraser, comp.lang.lisp
