[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] request for anonymous rsync service
by Eric Marsden 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

Hi, Would it be possible to set up an anonymous rsync service at common-lisp.net? I have two use-cases in mind here: - the CMUCL web pages are hosted at cons.org/cmucl, but generated on the common-lisp.net machine. For the sychronization between the two (via a cron job), anon rsync would be better than ssh access, in order to avoid password management problems. - it would be a convenient way to update the CMUCL download mirrors. The first case would be publishing the project web space over rsync, and the second publishing the project's FTP space. For the second case, which might increase your bandwidth load noticeably, I think we could arrange to have one mirror site sync with common-lisp.net, and the other mirrors syncing with the "master mirror". Thanks, -- Eric Marsden <URL:http://www.laas.fr/~emarsden/>

[admin] Hamburg Lispers Mailing List
by Edi Weitz 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

Hi! I'm currently maintaining the list for the Hamburg (and Berlin) Lispers which is used to coordinate occasional meetings. This "list" is actually nothing but an account and a .forward file on one of my machines at home. As I'm about to re-arrange a couple of things I have to move this somewhere else. We could use something like Yahoo! lists but I think it'd be nicer to host this list on common-lisp.net if that's possible. So, I'd like to apply for a "mailing list only" project like "regex-coach". The name of the list should be "lisp-hh" and it'd be very helpful if you could initially subscribe the following members edi(a)agharta.de ssekkat(a)gmx.de grabarske(a)gmx.net joswig(a)lispmachine.de david(a)lichteblau.com ahz(a)snafu.de ahz(a)smi.de unk6(a)rz.uni-karlsruhe.de ngo(a)cartan.de benno.biewer(a)berlin.de awillig(a)hpi.uni-potsdam.de helmut(a)cybernetic-systems.de Henner.Bartels(a)Hamburg.de schween(a)snafu.de Joerg-Cyril.Hoehle(a)t-systems.com alemmens(a)xs4all.nl hkirschk(a)csc.com tekai(a)gmx.li hans(a)huebner.org Andrej_Bondar(a)gmx.net tim(a)tenkan.org costanza(a)web.de a.thieme(a)freenet.de uho(a)xlerb.de dam(a)baltic-online.de KilianSprotte(a)web.de lars(a)dbdmedia.de manuel(a)bl0rg.net such that they get a welcome email with an automatically generated password.

Julian Squires should be added as developer for Linedit and Osicat, and since he doesn't have a common-lisp.net account yet one should be created. I've asked him to send in his GPG public key. Cheers, -- Nikodemus PS. I could add him myself, but in the absence of an administrative HOWTO I lack the courage to mess with our setup. Maybe we should have one.

No slime-devel mail there. I even added a rule to make sure that comnon-lisp.net can send me mail. I don't know what the weirdness is. slime-devel-request was able to send me confirmation that I joined the list. According to the headers, that mail came through the postini filter. This was before I checked with postini. I only looked there when I found out about gmane and wondered why I hadn't seen any of the mail. Please let me know what other information you need.

[admin] Project hosting request
by Justin Dubs 09 Apr '04

09 Apr '04

Hi, I have an ASDF system called cl-lambda-shorthand that I was wondering if you would be interested in hosting. It was developed by myself, Justin Dubs, and is under the MIT license. Basically, it provides a shorthand for anonymous functions by making use of the #L dispatching macro character. This way you can say: (mapcar #L(+ 1) '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6)) => (6 8 10) or (mapcar #L(+ _ (* 2 _)) '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6)) => (9 12 15) It also provides shorthand for defining 'constantly' functions (ie. #L5 == (lambda (&rest args) 5)) and more.
