A Flash player is now available on the front page
as part of the "feature videos" section. The
thumbnail submitted with the video now overlays
the flash player as the splash image. An animated
progress bar indicates a video is uploading on
step 3 of the submission form. The progress bar is
merely an animated GIF at this point and does not
communicate with the server. Transmission metadata
standard draft 1.0 is now ready, providing the
appropriate atom feed.<br style="clear: both;"/>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I need to export plone accounts from Inigo Intranet to LDAP. To accomplish that, first I need some way to export the data I need. Plone itself does not have such tool for it (that I know of).<br /><br />Not so long ago, <a href="http://kaeru.inigo-tech.com/">Kaeru</a> pointed me to <a href="http://www.zopelabs.com/cookbook/1140753093">a zope script for such purpose</a>, however, the script fails to extract passwords from Plone3.0 mainly due to passwords are now managed by the PluggableAuthService - which made getPassword() to return None and _getPassword() to raise NotImplementedError. I don't know whether somebody forgot to implement those functions into PAS or it was purposely done. Googling lead me to <a href="http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/export-member-data-to-csv">this page in plone.org</a> and from there, to this <a href="http://transcyberia.info/archives/23-howto-sync-mailman-from-plone.html">other script</a>. Again, none of them able to extract the password hashes. I lost hope with google, and to the source I went.<br /><br />After a whole night digging through the plone source, at last, I managed to found the method to extract the hash.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><blockquote><p><em>ThemesWiki.org is a new website designed to provide users with comprehensive, free guides for designing Web Themes and Templates. This site intends to ease the web design process by providing tutorials for a large number of systems at a common location.</em></p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://img158.imageshack.us/img158/5738/themeswikixe9.png" alt="" width="137" height="124" align="left" />It is often difficult to find a resource that is focused on providing quality, relevant and free information for designing themes and templates; specifically one that covers a wide range of applications. This is where ThemesWiki.org intends to step in. Launched initially with tutorials covering over 20 Content Management Systems, ThemesWiki.org is expected to grow into an exhaustive resource for the theming community, with users generating most of the content.</p>
<p>“ThemesWiki.org promises to fill a much needed gap in the theming and templating community” said Ric Shreves, author of the Packt book, <a href="http://www.packtpub.com/drupal-5-themes/book" target="_blank">Drupal 5 Themes</a>. “It is a source of information that cuts across systems and provides designers and developers a place to share ideas and approaches outside of the walled gardens of individual project sites.” Shreves, a partner in Water &amp; Stone, an open source web development company, went on to say that “Mambo, Joomla, Drupal, Plone, Modx — whatever — none of the clients really care and frankly it matters less and less as time goes by. What we should be concerned with is the end result, and that is where this site comes in.&#8221;</p>
<p>ThemesWiki.org is part of an ongoing process at Packt to develop unique methods of contributing to the Open Source community. Notable other initiatives include the website on free installation tutorials, <a href="http://www.installationwiki.org/" target="_blank">www.InstallationWiki.org</a>, and the annual <a href="http://www.packtpub.com/award" target="_blank">Open Source CMS Award</a> that has a total prize package of $20,000 to be divided among several winning projects.</p>
<p>ThemesWiki.org has been developed using the open source MediaWiki software package and has initially been populated using chapters from Packt books. ThemesWiki.org is free to use and open for everyone to contribute to. It is expected to grow and expand over the coming months with more tutorials added by users.</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I am doing some development for a UN community site, using Zope/Plone. I uses Qemu for hosting the guest OS for my development environment.<br /><br />For 2 days, I keep wondering why Zope/Plone loads damn slow on the qemu machine eventhough I have allocated both cores of the processor, and 512RAM for it. 15 minutes simply to start up is really not desirable. I kept on investigating and guess what:<br /><br /><code>[root@unapcict ~]# /sbin/hdparm -t /dev/hda<br /><br />/dev/hda:<br /> Timing buffered disk reads:   18 MB in  3.03 seconds =   5.95 MB/sec</code><br /><br />Just for a comparison, the host hdd's speed:<br /><br /><code>[root@Nobuyuki ~]# /sbin/hdparm -t /dev/sdc<br /><br />/dev/sdc:<br /> Timing buffered disk reads:  174 MB in  3.01 seconds =  57.71 MB/sec</code><br /><br />Darn.. So, thats what the reason. Dear lazywebs, anybody know how to improve the speed??.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><br/>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 class="firstHeading">Zwiki<br /></h1>Zwiki is a wiki engine written in Python and based on the Zope web application server. It was developed by Joyful Systems and contributors from around the world, and is free software released under the GNU General Public License.<br /><br />Zwiki supports a number of wiki markup styles out of the box, including MoinMoin, Structured text, reStructuredText, but allows also to edit pages in LaTeX or wysiwyg HTML. Zwiki can also co-exist with the Plone content management system. The Zope 2 and Zope 3 projects use Zwiki for part of their documentation.<br /><br />Zwiki also offers email-integrated discussion, an integrated issue tracker, internationalization support, precise access control (using the Zope Application Server's ACL functionality), and many more optional features such as fuzzy urls, automatic page hierarchy, use of external editors, embedded DTML scripts, and RSS feeds for changed and newly created pages.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">Storage backend</span><br /><br />Due to the use of the Zope application server, Zwiki pages are by default stored in the ZODB object oriented database backend.

Being someone who prefer to stick on RPMS rather than source-based installation, I ran CentOS on Xen of my home fileserver for Zope/Plone support.<br /><br />While wasting my time browsing through pirut a few days ago, I noticed compat-python/compat-zope/compat-plone on Livna repository. I know those packages exist by Jonathan Stefan, but didn't know that its on Livna. Anyway, cool, now I can play with zope on my laptop directly :D.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[My blog just included in <a href="http://planet.fedoraproject.org">Planet Fedora</a>. Yay! (/me jumping with joy). Thanks <a href="http://skvidal.wordpress.com/">Seth Vidal</a>!!.<br /><br />A little introduction about myself and Linux.<br /><br />I started with computers on early age. My first encounter with computers was @ my mom's office (she's working @ NEC that time) about I'm 3 years old. When my mom stopped working to be a full-time housewife, my dad started working @ IBM and I've been living with IBM PC-DOS on the company-provided PC. I lived with it and having fun with DOS for quite a long time. Then, on 1997, my dad bought an IBM Aptiva with Win95 on it, during that time, Windows doesnt feel that sux too me, as its still something on top of DOS (guess what, it took me some time to get use to the mouse and I still reboot to DOS when I want to play Command and Conquer). But after winME, I got frustrated due to no longer able to troubleshoot my computer through DOS, and thats when I started considering for another OS. I have no access to the Internet until 1999, so I have no idea about open source, internet community and stuff back then. Software to me that time was only those that can be found from shops.<br /><br />Around 2002, I heard about Linux and started by trying out Red Hat 9 (Shrike), it was a tough ride at first, especially due to Winmodem sucks big time. On 2003, I stopped trying for a while due to I was accepted to a boarding school. But I didnt stop fully, there, I familiarize myself with OpenOffice (secretly installed on the school's computer). And on end of 2004, after I finished the final exam of high school, I forces myself to fully migrate to Linux.<br /><br />I was looking for RH that time but couldn't found any later release after Shrike (I didn't know about FedoraProject yet). Then I found Mandriva and sticks with it & KDE for almost  year before I decided to jump distros again. Then I used SuSE for few months , then I found out that RH is now Fedora Core. I started using Fedora Core 3 and have fell in love with it ever since. <br /><br />Around 2005, I got to know a group of OSS oriented people in Malaysia @ #myoss of Freenode and around that time too I started trying to contribute back something upstream. I joined Fedora Project early 2007 as an Ambassador, mostly advocating Linux to students and lecturers my university - <a href="http://www.utp.edu.my">PETRONAS University of Technology</a>. But lately theres not many ideas for me to do there as Ambassador so I started contributing to Packaging and packaged some <a href="http://blog.kagesenshi.org/2007/06/compiz-fusion-repository-for-fedora-7.html">unofficial compiz fusion packages</a>. Now I'm officially maintaining ccsm and libcompizconfig packages in Fedora.<br /><br />Right now I'm a SysAdmin intern at a startup company that focuses on Zope and Plone called <a href="http://www.inigo-tech.com/">Inigo-Tech</a> and having some fun with FreeBSD there.<br /><br />Looking forward for great development on Fedora and I hope I can found something more to contribute back to Fedora Project.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[For the past month, I have been working as an intern at <a href="http://www.inigo-tech.com">Inigo Tech</a>. The company focuses on Zope and Plone deployment and customization and I'm the sysadmin of the company server.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">FreeBSD</span><br /><br />The company server uses FreeBSD as the OS with several BSD Jails on top of it. BSD Jails is one of the virtualization technology on the OS level. Unlike Xen, Qemu and VirtualBox, Jails is a very lightweight virtualization where the Guest environment does not run any kernel on it. While Xen, Qemu and VirtualBox allows different OSes running as Guest, Jails can only support another BSD installations.<br /><br />I found that Jails is very useful for those who only needs better process and environment separation and doesn't need another full blown OS features. Interested to know what available on the Linux world for this, I went googling and found the <a href="http://www.linux-vserver.org">Linux-Vserver Project</a> and the <a href="http://www.openvz.org">OpenVZ Project</a>. However, the RPM packages provided by both of them (especially the kernel) are quite not in sync with the current Fedora repositories. So, if anybody thinking of trying them out, I would recommend installing on CentOS or a Debian derivative instead as the packages does not being updated as fast as Fedora. Btw, if anybody successfully deployed a OpenVZ guest, can you post me an easy to follow guide??. As I'm quite confused with the OpenVZ documentations (the templates etc).<br /><br />But so far, I think thats the only thing I liked from the BSD world. Everything else, are kindof PITA and not elegant in my point of view. Perhaps because I have been pampered by RPM way too much. Ports, while have quite a large collection of packages, is not as elegant as RPM or DEB in package management. If only for installation and removal of packages, Ports works quite well, but if I want to do extra stuff to the installed files, everything went messy. Dependency hell, I dont know how many times i've faced that in Ports. Updating and removing packages feels quite scary when it might causes another app, hidden somewhere, to have a library problem. For the filesystem hierarchy and file placements, is another messy thing as trying to separate stuff that maintained by package manager and stuff that are done by local user is not as clear as in RPM distros. But for this, I might be biased as I come from the Red Hat Linux / Fedora Linux origins and still not that experienced in BSD. Perhaps after exploring and learning more about the BSD way of doing stuff, I might change my opinion on this.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Zope and Plone</span><br /><br />In Inigo Tech, I was introduced for the first time to <a href="http://zope.org">Zope</a> and <a href="http://www.plone.org/">Plone</a>. I have heard about it before, and followed the debate on Fedora mailing list about why Fedora 7 could not support Zope and Plone due to Python2.5, but I had never tried using it firsthand. What I know about during that time Zope was that its something like Tomcat but in Python, with Plone as one of the most popular app running on Zope. <br /><br />After this whole month of using Zope and Plone, I grown to like it and the ideas it brought together. I have been a fan of proper separation of services and environments since I learned about virtualization. So, I feel Zope is a great platform. A virtual filesystem on an ORDB? Cool!. Full separation of the web environment and the host server? Great!. Using Instances instead of a full copy of files? Yay!. Plugins architechture, of which different instances can have different set of Plugins? Superb!. All in all, I love Zope, except for maybe, the ZMI which looks kind of cluttered, but looks good or not is a matter of who looking at it :).<br /><br />As for Plone, Inigo sees it as an alternative to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SharePoint">Microsoft SharePoint</a>. As I had never tried out SharePoint, I couldn't comment much about their differences/similarities. But one thing I know, Plone offers more features that SharePoint in term of document management and sharing, Plone is easier to use than SharePoint, Plone can work nicely with commodity softwares while SharePoint requires you to upgrade to IE7, Vista, Office 2007 etc, and best of all, Plone is Free! and SharePoint is dictated by Microsoft (>.<) . So, that makes it Plone is better than SharePoint right? So if your company want to buy SharePoint, how about you look at Plone first before deciding ;).<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">======</span><br /><br />All in all, working with Inigo is fun with all these. I'm glad I took <a href="http://kaeru.inigo-tech.com/">Kaeru's</a> offer and not other internship offers with other companies. Plus, I got to <a href="http://blog.kagesenshi.org/2007/12/working-from-home.html">telecommute</a>. Saved some hassle of transportation, food, etc :D
