SC-Track Roundup 0.6.7 - an issue tracking system


I'm pleased to announce Roundup 0.6.7, a maintenance release which fixes
some bugs (most notably making the EMAIL_CHARSET config variable backwards-
compatible):

be more backward-compatible when asking for EMAIL_CHARSET
made error on create consistent with edit when user enters invalid data
  for Multilink and Link form fields (sf bug 904072)
made errors from bad input in the quick "Show issue:" form more
  user-friendly (sf bug 904064)
don't add a query to a user's list if it's already there
nicer invalid property error in HTML templating
use EMAIL_CHARSET for message body too (still sf bug 900046)

If you're upgrading from an older version of Roundup you *must* follow
the "Software Upgrade" guidelines given in the maintenance documentation.

Note that the Zope interface still doesn't work - it is fixed in the 0.7
development codebase.

Roundup requires python 2.1.3 or later for correct operation. Python 2.3.1
or later is strongly recommended.

To give Roundup a try, just download (see below), unpack and run::

    python demo.py

Hi,
a new version of PyCrash is released new features and improvement.You
can download it at:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=98026&package_id=111026&release_id=220726

Changelog:

* PyCrash now handles correctly new-style classes
* Added onExceptionRaised() method to PyCrash class, which notifies when
  and how many times an uncaught exception is raised
* Now all PyCrash classes inherit from "object"
* Added new utils.Encrypt.py module, that contains the
  EncryptedPyCrash class. This class allows developers to
  automatically encrypt crash dumps using RSA algorithm, in order to
  protect sensible data
* Added two scripts: keygen.py and decrypt.py that allow user to
  generate public/private key pair and decrypt file generated by
  EncryptedPyCrash class.

LOCAL: DC-area Quixote talk

This coming Saturday morning I'm going to be presenting a Quixote tutorial
at the Northern Virginia Linux User Group, not far from Washington DC.  The
tutorial will cover basic usage of Quixote, a Web development framework for
Python, and topics such as the structure of Quixote applications, generating
HTML with Quixote's PTL templating language, and common design patterns for
web applications.  I'm also going to provide a PyCon preview, discussing
some of the most interesting of the accepted talks.

The same presentation will be given later this month at PyCon, which is also
in the DC area, but the NOVALUG meeting will probably have much more time
available for questions and discussion.

WHERE: Washington Technology Park/CSC (formerly Dyncorp), Chantilly, VA
DATE: 1st Saturday of the month (March 6th)
TIME: 10:00 am
URL: http://novalug.tux.org

Middleware 04: Call for Papers, Workshop and Tutorial proposals


 			   Call for Papers:

			   Middleware 2004

	ACM/IFIP/USENIX International Middleware Conference
		    (society sponsorship pending)

			Toronto, Ontario, Canada
		       October  18th - 22nd, 2004

	     http://www.eecg.utoronto.ca/middleware2004/

Overview

Requirements  for  faster  development cycles,  decreased  development
efforts, greater  software reuse,  and better end-to-end  control over
system  resources are motivating  the creation  and use  of middleware
systems  and  middleware-based  architectures. Middleware  is  systems
software  that resides  between  the applications  and the  underlying
operating systems, network protocol  stacks, and hardware. Its primary
role is  to functionally bridge  the gap between  application programs
and the  lower-level hardware and software infrastructure  in order to
coordinate  how  application components  are  connected  and how  they
interoperate.   Furthermore,  middleware  enables and  simplifies  the
integration of components developed by multiple technology suppliers.

In this sense middleware systems are sets of services and abstractions
that  facilitate   the  development  and   deployment  of  distributed
applications in heterogeneous, distributed, computing environments.
