[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] Two new projects
by James Crippen 09 Sep '04

09 Sep '04

I have two CL projects that I'd like to move to Common-Lisp.net. They are LTelnetD and LMUD. The former is an implementation of a TELNET server in Lisp, the latter is a MUD in Lisp. I have been working on both of these projects very slowly for some time now, and already have working CVS repositories. But I'd like to move them to C-L.net because I've had problems with both Internet connectivity and with some data loss. If I could get them hosted off-site I'd feel more comfortable about it. Also, having them on C-L.net would encourage others to participate as well. Both are designed with x86-Linux SBCL in mind, particularly with futex support on Linux 2.6 because they are threaded applications. I haven't worked on them in a while, but expect to do so more and more as summer dies down and I have less to do outside. Thanks, 'james

[admin] New member of the Portable Hemlock project
by Aleksandar Bakic 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

Hi, Robert Strandh suggested that I commit my changes for the phemlock project module myself. Then I figured out I could not do it without a username at common-lisp.net. Could you please help me obtain "credentials" that I need in order to check in my changes? I will be available only today, tomorrow I will be away from home for about two weeks. If you/we cannot do it this fast, that is fine, we'll try to do it when I return. Thanks, Aleksandar Bakic __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[admin] Quota on CL.net user account for bmastenbrook
by Brian Mastenbrook 21 Aug '04

21 Aug '04

Howdy folks, My account on CL.net has been filling up its quota and crashing lisppaste. I have 13MB of pastes in my home directory plus fasls for the various programs, which takes up quite a bit of space. Any chance I can get my quota raised? Actually, the optimal solution would be to make an account for lisppaste with a larger quota, where others could log in via ssh public key and fix the bot (my user's authorized keys would be the initial set). Any chance of this happening? Thanks! -- Brian Mastenbrook bmastenbrook(a)comcast.net http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~bmastenb/

[admin] Mailman woes part XXII
by Nikodemus Siivola 18 Aug '04

18 Aug '04

1) We had over 4Gigs worth of mailman error logs. We don't have them anymore -- but on the upside our disk isn't full anymore either. 2) Mailman had fallen over something once more. Snakeoil applied. Maybe this should be done form a cron... Cheers, -- Nikodemus Schemer: "Buddha is small, clean, and serious." Lispnik: "Buddha is big, has hairy armpits, and laughs."
