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.

We’re hiring a FLOSS developper to work on bugtrackers synchronisation

We’re hiring a software engineer, for 15 months, to work on bugtrackers synchronisation

(see full version of the offered job description here — et une version en français également : ici)

We’re looking for a software engineer to join our PFTCR team, in order to complement our R&D manpower on the HELIOS project. We’re responsible for a work package whose goal is to study and implement a system which would fit in the HELIOS platform, to ensure synchonisation between bug-trackers.

The workplace would be here in Evry (France, Paris area) for a duration of 15 months, under a french CDD contract (starting first quarter of 2009). The development done during the work on this project will be contributed back to FLOSS projects.

Strong know-how in software development as well as interest for research issues are expected from the candidates. Also, a good knowledge of the open source development tools, and of the dynamics of the libre software development communities is expected (distributions, packaging, QA). A practical experience of contribution on an open source project would be a plus (typically as Debian developper, for instance).. Technical english skills will be required (as well as notions of french, considering the french nature of the environment).

If you’re interested and available early 2009, I definitely want to hear from you.

CAS client libs need love in Debian : several pending RFS

We have made some progress towards more CAS-ified applications installable in Debian, and now have several RFS pending :

  • libauthcas-perl : Client library for CAS 2.0 / AuthCAS Perl module

So if you’re a Debian Developer and wish to help improve CAS support in Debian, please sponsor these packages.
