Icecream

http://en.opensuse.org/Icecream
http://en.opensuse.org/Icecream#I_use_distcc.2C_why_should_I_change.3F

"Icecream was created by SUSE based on distcc. Like distcc, Icecream
takes compile jobs from a (KDE) build and distributes it among remote
machines allowing a parallel build. But unlike distcc, Icecream uses a
central server that dynamically schedules the compile jobs to the
fastest free server. This advantage pays off mostly for shared
computers, if you're the only user on x machines, you have full
control over them."

ELC2009: Visualizing memory usage with smem [LWN.net]

<http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/329458/45e497270ab09a23/>

One of the more frustrating things to try and figure out on Linux 
systems is how much memory is actually being used by a process. The ps 
command offers something of a view into memory usage, but adding up the 
numbers for various types of memory never yields a sensible result. It 
is against this backdrop that Matt Mackall presented his smem tool at 
this year's Embedded Linux Conference.

Red Hat News | Fighting Bad Patents with Good Prior Art

<http://press.redhat.com/2009/04/29/fighting-bad-patents-with-good-prior-art/>

For a successful patent challenge, one must establish that the prior art 
contains all of the recitations in the claim. But a single prior-art 
reference need not contain exactly the claimed invention. Validity 
challenges often combine two or more prior-art references that together 
render the claimed invention obvious. It’s helpful for a challenger to 
collect a variety of prior art, because even though the individual 
pieces in isolation may be inadequate, the collection may establish 
invalidity.

SMB Traffic Analyzer « hhetter’s blog : might be useful for some

<http://holger123.wordpress.com/smb-traffic-analyzer/>

  SMB traffic analyzer software suite is a toolset aiming at visualizing 
the data flow on one or more Samba servers, providing statistics about 
the usage of Samba services. The long term goal of the SMB Traffic 
Analyzer project is to provide a universal remote debugging facility for 
Samba.

The information that is stored in the database currently consists of the 
following:

     * The size of the transfer in bytes
     * The user who was involved in the transfer
     * The share that was involved in the transfer
     * A timestamp, when the transfer was commited on the server
     * The name of the Domain under which the transfer happened

Report and videos of the FOSS talk at BESU techfest on 12th April 2009

[X-POSTING]

Between 11 - 12th April, the students of Bengal Engg & Science
University (BESU), the erstwhile BE College, Shibpur had organised
their Techfest - Instruo '09.

Originally Atul ("Toolz" Chitnis) was supposed to be speaking there on
FOSS and why it makes so much sense for students and developers. But,
finally it was Kishore Bhargava (aka BigBeard from irc) who could come
down. He kept the audience enthralled with his highly interactive and
lively session. It was really enjoyable and informative without being
preachy.

The report and the video recordings are here
http://indradg.randomink.org/blog/archives/145

Kishore - We missed out on only one thing - raiding Prince. Oh!
well... something for the next time :D

cheers,
-indra (aka idg)
