[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] Clnet down

We seem to be down to a degree at least: HTTP and ssh doesn't respond, pings ok. Cheers, -- Nikodemus "Not as clumsy or random as a C++ or Java. An elegant weapon for a more civilized time."

[admin] Crypticl - new name in request for project hosting
by Tåle Skogan 24 May '04

24 May '04

Before the weekend I submitted a request for hosting a cryptographic library project. The original project name was clc (Common Lisp Cryptography), but due to a name clash with another project I was advised to choose another name. This was sound advise and I have changed the name to Crypticl (cl-crypto was also considered, but in the end I felt it was at bit too ambitous for a start-up project). Apart from the name change, the original request is unchanged. For convenience I repeat the request below. Regards, Tåle Request for project hosting: I'm writing a cryptographic library in Common Lisp and I wonder if you would be interested in hostng it. It's not a large, all-encompassing library, but the goal is to offer common, secure versions of important cryptographic primitives (hash functions like SHA-1, symmetric encryption like AES, asymmetric encryption like RSA, digital signatures like DSA etc). Utilities like number theoretic primitives and secure random number generators will also be included. It will be released under a MIT type license. Project name: Crypticl Project member: Tåle Skogan License: MIT -- Using M2, Opera's e-mail client.

Minor brainstorm: - cl-crypto / common-lisp-cryptography - lc / lisp-cryptography - various "less-canonical-style" names such as clypto, cryptcl, cryptomania, etc... Cheers, -- Nikodemus

Hi! I'm writing a cryptographic library in Common Lisp and I wonder if you would be interested in hostng it. It's not a large, all-encompassing library, but the goal is to offer common, secure versions of important cryptographic primitives (hash functions like SHA-1, symmetric encryption like AES, asymmetric encryption like RSA, digital signatures like DSA etc). Utilities like number theoretic primitives and secure random number generators will also be included. It will be released under a MIT type license. To my knowlegde there is no open source cryptographic library for Common Lisp. My hope is that clc (Common Lisp Cryptography) could be a contribution to increase the number of libraries available for Common Lisp. A friend of mine, Frode Vatvedt Fjeld (Movitz), recommended your hosting services, and I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Tåle Skogan Project name: clc Project member: Tåle Skogan (or Taale Skogan if the norwegian letter "å" creates trouble). If possible, I would like the user name tales.

I think possibly we can offer some disk and bandwidth here at Univ. of Tromsoe, both in general and in this particular case since Tåle just graduated from here. But I'm not sure of what cl.net requires in terms of OS setup, accounts etc? -- Frode Vatvedt Fjeld
