foswiki-ldapcontrib packaging started to “replace” twiki-ldapcontrib

Hoping that foswiki will be packaged for Debian soon, I’ve prepared a new package for the LdapContrib Foswiki’s extension, reusing what I had done for the twiki-ldapcontrib package.

This should allow integration of Foswiki on Debian systems using LDAP-stored users and groups.

More details about the package in http://picoforge.int-evry.fr/projects/twldapdeb/.

Foswiki 1.0 release and Debian packaging on its way

Cool, Foswiki is about to be officially released today. Foswiki is the result from the TWiki community fork.

Hopefully, the Debian packaging will probably be useable soon, as the initial tests I’ve done seem to indicate that it’s gonna work.

This should help replace the use of TWiki by foswiki, since TWiki is no longer in lenny. Maybe we’ll be able to keep upgrading picoforge with our Debian packages preference, then.

Chairing the Development track at next LSM/RMLL conference (july 2009)

Hi.

I’ll be chairing the “development” track at the forecoming (10th edition) LSM/RMLL which will happen in July in Nantes (France).

I expect contributions about FLOSS development, so will soon push a formal call for contributions/communications, but here’s already the description of the track contents : Call for Communication concerning the “Development” topic of the 10th Libre Software Meeting (Nantes, France, july 2009) .

If you feel interested in co-chairing, I’d be glad to know 😉

OpenForge API

I’m passing the word about the OpenForge initiative whose goal is apparently try and foster interoperability between forges. Thanks to Nicolas Guerin for the pointer.

Great, I’ll keep an eye on that.

Excerpt from http://openforge.info/ :

OpenForge is an API (Application Programming Interface) that allows different development forges to communicate with each other. All the work is focused on interoperability. With this API, you can imagine a lot of features based on the aims:

* retrieve project’s datas
* retrieve user’s datas
* search for a user or a project

Quite similar to ideas entertained at wiki.planetforge.org
