[PLUG] Fwd: PLUG N: "Hacking FOSSCON"... follow-up

[JP Vossen <jp@jpsdomain.org>]

Oh, I forgot.  I talked about Redmine, that I'm trying to get to use at 
work, and that I found trying to get Ruby & Rails to work on CentOS-5.x 
was a giant mess.  There are better ways though, like:

http://www.turnkeylinux.org/redmine
	= 7 flavors (more-or-less) of VMs

http://bitnami.com/stack/redmine
	= a VM (but really hazy on details of said VM)
	= Or a monolithic "just stick it all in /opt/" installer

I had previously missed the monolithic installer.  With THAT I had 
Redmine installed on CentOS-5 in ~10 minutes, though granted it's 
controlled a bit different than usual.  E.g.:
http://wiki.bitnami.com/Native_Installers_Quick_Start_Guide#How_can_I_create_a_full_backup_of_a_Stack.3f
http://wiki.bitnami.com/Native_Installers_Quick_Start_Guide#How_can_I_start_or_stop_the_servers.3f


(Also, a tool Jonathan likes: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/etherpad)

-------- Original Message --------

Thanks to Jonathan for an interesting case study and discussion on the
implications of the proliferation of forking that is so popular and easy
with modern DRCS and , e.g., git-hub.

We also had some interesting discussions before, during and after the
talk, and in particular the following came up:

http://www.startssl.com/?app=1
	" StartSSLÂ Free (Class 1) certificates are domain or email validated"

http://www.codecademy.com/
	"Learn to code interactively, for free" (esp. for kids)

https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm
	"Effing Package Management...helps you build packages quickly and 
easily (Packages like RPM and DEB formats)"

Thanks,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
