New Tool To Deploy Battlefield 1942 GNU/Linux Dedicated Server
28 de Novembro de 2010, 14:53 - sem comentários aindaAs a Battlefield 1942 fan, I’ve been playing and participating in BF1942 communities, and together with a friend and coleague, Levi, a.k.a Monsenhor we have founded ourselves a smal community/clan, and whenever possible, we have contributed.
I have setup some GNU/Linux dedicated servers, and being a sysadmin, it has always been a repetitive straight forward task. But to the average goodwill game server admin wannabe, Unix syntax and structure are not routine.
So we set up to create a tool to help us have a smoother faster install, and maybe help others out there.
And as a result, here is the announcement of this simple but hopefully useful tool:
“The Injustos Battlefield Clan is happy to announce the first release of its project InjusTools: ‘InjusTools_Install_BF1942′, a free GPLed shell script to help setting up a Battlefield 1942 GNU/Linux dedicated server, downloading, installing and configuring the server itself, latest patches, most popular mods, and a remote server manager daemon.
Basic security measures are taken, so that the server manager and BF1942 itself can be run as an ordinary user, with write access restricted to logging.
Just download it at any GNU/Linux server, and execute it as any shell script logged in as ‘root’ administrator.
Get help and support at our InjusTools Project website at http://injustools.sourceforge.net/.”
This tool will be used to develop a new and generic installation tool, and soon you will receive more good news.
OpenOffice.org Community Creates The Document Foundation and Release LibreOffice
28 de Setembro de 2010, 8:34 - sem comentários aindaSeptember 28, 2010: The community of volunteers developing and promoting OpenOffice.org sets up an independent Foundation (The Document Foundation) to drive the further growth of the leading free office software, now to be called LibreOffice.org.
According to a press release from TDF, “Oracle, who acquired OpenOffice.org assets as a result of its acquisition of Sun Microsystems, has been invited to become a member of the new Foundation, and donate the brand the community has grown during the past ten years. Pending this decision, the brand “LibreOffice” has been chosen for the software going forward.”
The initiative is being conducted by former members and colaborators of OpenOffice.org, and so far has been suported by important FOSS/Industry players (FSF, OASIS, Red Hat, Canonical, Novel, etc.).
A beta release of LibreOffice supporting several plataforms is already availiable for download.
Oracle, which acquired Sun, and hence StarOffice/OpenOffice brands, has been taking uncertain actions in relation to its support for FOSS assets inherited from Sun, such as the OpenSolaris project.
Debian Appreciation Day
16 de Agosto de 2010, 18:39 - sem comentários aindaCongratulations all Debian Community and specially Debian Developers and contributors on this important day for Free and Open Source Software.
On August 16th of 1993, Ian Murdock made a news announcement at Usenet about the creation of “Debian Linux Distribution” (later evolved to “Debian Project”). The Debian Project was reponsible not only for the creation of a great GNU/Linux software distribution, but also for the creation of the Debian Free Software Guidelines – DFSG (used by Open Source Initiative to create the “The Open Source Definition“), and the Debian Social Contract where it stablishes de principles of a FOSS community, including de DFSG itself.
Take some time and show your appreciation too at the Thanks.Debian.net.
