Gentoo International
Germany: LinuxTag 2008

With more than 11,000 visitors, LinuxTag in Berlin is by far the m= ost important Linux and Open Source Software show in Europe. As in earlier ye= ars, Gentoo was again present at the expo after we missed the last two LinuxTa= g expos taking place in Wiesbaden 2006 and Berlin 2007. This year about 10 develo= pers and other Gentoo enthusiasts (including users from the German support cha= nnel, #gentoo-anfaenger) helped man the booth. Even some phpBB developers showe= d up.

This year the booth was set up to convey information to the audience, ins= tead of showing hardware as in the years before. Nevertheless, the booth was popu= lated with enough (Apple) laptop computers to open a little shop. One iBook was= set up to display an auto= mated installation process of Gentoo Linux. Some visitors even asked wher= e we were hiding that guy who was entering the commands so fast. :)

Powered by Larry the Cow (one tagged "OpenSSL") the team managed to survi= ve through the days, with the help of the popular drink "Club Mate." Friendl= y meet-ups with Debian and Ubuntu people did not escalate at all, and there= was even cooperation during the event. Sun engineers demoing OpenSolaris at t= heir stand were happy to give hints how to resolve a compilation issue that po= pped up during the port of Gentoo Prefix to OpenSolaris.

Gentoo participated in the Hacking Contest held at the event and was repr= esented by genstef and two of our users,= in an attempt to hold up Gentoo's reputation. The Gentoo team eventually won th= e second prize, a Nintendo DS.

On the last evening, the Ubuntu people organised a friendly barbecue part= y for everyone. The beer was free as in beer, and the meat "open source." The b= arbecue was held at C-base, Ubuntu's ~= @Berlin, which from the inside is an exciting space station with many man-hours in= vested in weird decorations and programs like essential alien rootkit checkers.

Interview: Google Summer of Code Student Nirbheek Chauhan

In the second of the series of interviews with our Summer of Code student= s, we chat with Nirbheek Chauhan, who is working on "AutotuA". Find out more about him and the project by readi= ng on!

=20

GMN: Give us a brief introduction of yourself. Where are you from?= Where and what do you study? What's your homepage or other means for fans to st= alk you?

Nirbheek: Hello! I'm Nirbheek Chauhan (bheekling). I don't exactly "belong" to any single place (Dad's in the Army), although I was born in Chandigarh, India. I'm currently in my 3rd year of B.Tech doing Civil Engineering at IIT Kanpur. Fans and freaks are welcome to my blog -- comments are open and = free for all. ^_^

GMN: Were you already involved with Gentoo and/or open source in g= eneral before acceptance into SoC? If yes, briefly tell us how you got involved = and why you like writing open source code.

Nirbheek:I had been using Ubuntu as my full-time OS for a year bef= ore I shifted to Gentoo after Arun Raghavan (Ford_Prefect) nagged me to try it = out for the N+1th time. The first Open Source project that I contributed code to = was the Beagle Project where I hac= ked on the experimental Beagle Webinterfac= e under the wonderful guidance of Debajyoti Bera (dBera).

I love Open Source (and specifically Gentoo) because it allows me to fix whatever problems I face on my own. There is documentation for almost eve= rything out there, and where it doesn't exist, the code is always there. Gentoo m= akes all this particularly easy since I just need to dump a patch in ${FILESDI= R}, add a line to the ebuild, and voila! I can have the package cleanly installed= on my system with the fixes. The flexibility I get from this far outweighs the = compile time for everything (although I would really love it if a safe and workin= g hybrid binary-source system were devised)

GMN: How has your experience with the Gentoo community been so far= ?

Nirbheek: I have found the developers, especially the GNOME Herd, = the Mozilla Herd, Infra, Bug wranglers, and the previous Council Members, to = be extremely helpful, active, responsive, and sometimes terrifyingly efficie= nt. All the people whom I see actively working on Gentoo are simply a pleasure to= talk and work with. However, as is with most projects of such a size, there ar= e a few elements who seem to be spreading more chaos than actual contribution.

GMN: Please tell our readers a little about the project you're wor= king on, and why you think it will be helpful to Gentoo users. What was your inspiration for starting the project? What do you expect to achieve with = it?

Nirbheek: The project was originally called (for lack of imaginati= on) "Automate it All" (*with* quotes). With the advent of further lack = of imagination on Eric's pa= rt, it was christened AutotuA<= /uri>. The aim of the project is to reduce the workload of Gentoo developers, ma= ke it easier for users to help developers in testing, and increase the overall = QA of the packages and ebuilds in the portage tree by making it easier for deve= lopers to test (and coordinate testing of) changes made to the tree.

The basic design consists of a master-server and numerous slaves. The mas= ter does bookkeeping of jobs, hosts the various resources, preserves state, a= nd manages distribution among the slaves. The slaves run jobs according to s= ets of instructions called "jobuilds" which are similar in spirit (and syntax) t= o ebuilds, but are used to describe the smallest "quantum of work". The (le= ngthy) details of how they all will work can be found in my first weekly report.

My inspiration stemmed from frustration at having to do repetitive and ea= sily automatable tasks while testing packages. The last straw was testing xulrunner-1.9 (a dependency of Firefox 3) for breakages with packages usi= ng xulrunner (bug 213296). The work was completely monotonous and time-consuming -- p= erfect grounds for automation. I could've scripted the work, but that would be a one-off thing and no one else would be able to make use of it anyway.

I told Patrick Lauer (one of my mentors) about this and my proposed solut= ion for it. He suggested that I apply for a SoC project for the same to make sure= I actually finish it. ;) He then managed to get inte= rested and onboard for mentoring me, and voila! Here we are. :)

=20 <overzealous>I expect my project to cause a revolution in the way G= entoo works.</overzealous>

GMN: What do you do when you're not coding? (hobbies, interests, f= avorite T.V. shows etc.)

Nirbheek: Wait, what?! Coding *is* my hobby!

But when I get tired of coding, I usually read books or (online) manga, d= o some photography (little experience however), watch Anime or Sci-Fi, write ran= dom stuff, or play the occasional computer game (Half-Life 2 ftw!).

Of course, this is all usually done with Nine Inch Nails, Feist, toe, Pea= rl Jam, R.E.M or Radiohead playing in the background. =3D)

GMN: Thanks for your time, and wish you all the best for the summe= r!

Gentoo Linux Headed for Space!

This article was written by Gentoo developer ,= who works for the Southwest Research Institute. Joe already uses Gentoo Linux for projects such as the <= uri link=3D"http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/science/soc.php">New Horizons space operations center. Now, he'll take Gentoo where no penguin has gone befor= e . . .

Gentoo is getting ready to fly into space aboard a rocket called the Rapi= d Acquisition Imaging Spectrograph Experiment (RAISE). The rocket is part o= f NASA's "sounding rocket program", and it is a relatively inexpensive way = to gather information about the Sun from light that cannot penetrate the Ear= th's atmosphere. Southwest Research Institute, where RAISE is being designed, = has a very active solar research group that is on the cutting edge of new disco= veries about our closest star.

One of the main mysteries that RAISE will help to solve involves the temp= erature of the solar corona. This outer atmosphere of the Sun is more than one mi= llion degrees centigrade, whereas the Sun's surface is a mere 6000 degrees. Bec= ause the data to be collected by RAISE will give insight into the mechanisms o= f energy conversion in the solar atmosphere, we hope to use this data to be= tter understand this strange temperature inversion.

RAISE will fly to an altitude of 350 km--well into space--and then return= to Earth via parachute. The total flight time will be about 14 minutes, givi= ng the rocket 6 minutes of "hang time" in space to collect data. Two ultraviolet detectors will collect stereo images and 3D spectral/spacial "cubes" of d= ata. In the latter case, a mirror and slit will be used to scan across the Sun= and collect a UV spectrum at each pixel.

Gentoo Linux will be used on four processor boards in the flight electron= ics. One will be the central controller, and the other three will be dedicated= to capturing data from the instruments. Spectral "image" data will be collec= ted at 10Hz and stored on a solid-state PATA drive, which will be retrieved from= the rocket after landing. A minimal Gentoo installation will be included on e= ach board for flight. On the capture boards, we will add USB drivers for inst= rument I/O. In fact, we have our first capture board up and running already, an= d data is successfully coming in from our test camera in the lab.

So stay tuned for further news about RAISE, and when it launches, remembe= r that all of the Gentoo Project's hard work went into making this rocket's oper= ating system flight-ready!

Tips and Tricks
Measuring and reducing power usage

For those who want to reduce energy use, increase their laptop time on ba= ttery, and those who simply want to save money, this edition of Tips and Tricks = is for you. Let's use PowerTop= to reduce the amount of power your computer draws.

The first step is to install PowerTop and run it:

# emerge powertop
# powertop

PowerTop will likely tell you that you need a few options enabled in your kernel, if they aren't enabled already.

To prepare your kernel for PowerTop you need to go into "Processor type a= nd features". Set "Tickless System" to be built into the kernel. If you do n= ot have this option you can continue without setting it. Next, go to the main men= u and go into "Kernel hacking". Set "Kernel debugging" to be built in, then sel= ect "Collect kernel timer statistics". If you are doing this on a laptop, ena= ble battery support in "Power management options" and "ACPI Support". Finally= , enable "CPU frequency translation statistics" under "Power management opt= ions" and "CPU Frequency scaling".

Reboot into your reconfigured kernel and run powertop again. You s= hould see a list of applications are kernel components "waking the system up". = All you need to know is that fewer wakeups means your system consumes less power. PowerTop gives you a few tips at the bottom.

The first one is to tell the kernel to disable USB until you need it. Thi= s option is under "Device Drivers", in "USB Support". It is probably called= "USB selective suspend/resume and wakeup".

The second one is to increase the dirty write back interval to 15 seconds= -- or an interval of your choosing). This will help reduce disk wakeups.

# echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs

There are other things you can do to reduce you power usage. For example,= if you happen to browse many CPU-intensive Flash sites, you can install the FlashBlock add-on for Firefo= x and choose to view Flash upon your request only.

Visit LessWatts for more goo= d ways to save power.

+Venezuela: FliSoL 2008 + + +

+On Saturday April 26th, FLISoL 2008, Latin= America's +largest Free Software promotional and installfest ended, having taken pl= ace more +or less simultaneously throughout Latin America. In Venezuela, it was ho= sted in +the capital city Caracas and other cities such as Barquisimeto, Cuman=C3= =A1, Los +Teques, Maracaibo, M=C3=A9rida, San Crist=C3=B3bal and Valencia. +

+ +

+As well as being a free-for-all, catch-as-catch-can multiple distro inst= allfest +and promotion event, it also featured interesting talks on a wide variet= y of +subjects, including clusters, web development frameworks, security, VOIP= and the +Gimp, among others. +

+ +

+In Caracas, the event was hosted at the ISEIT, where a small group of enthus= iastic +Gentoo users and devs, amongst which were angvp, alberkmann, neurogeek, +sebasmagri, and , gather= ed to +expound upon the multiple virtues of everyone's favourite meta-distro to= all +comers, live as well as on irc (#gentoo-ve on irc.freenode.net), while a= t the +same time racing to complete installs on wide variety of machines, +troubleshooting hardware, handing out Gentoo minimal install and LiveCDs= right, +left and centre and even having time to demonstrate Frets on Fire on Gen= too. A +few Gentoo lappies sported highly tweaked e17 desktops, laden with eye c= andy +that caught everyone's attention. +

+ +

+In M=C3=A9rida, Gentoo LiveCDs were hot items too, as was the demonstrat= ion of games +running on Gentoo. Many Gentoo enthusiasts were also reported at the Mar= acaibo +event. +
