> Hello everybody,
>
> Bonjour à tous,
>
> Here is some news about the project
>
> 1) Technical: To-do-list update
> the To-do list (http://downloads.shaman-x.org/To-do-list.pdf has been
> significantly updated today.
>
> 2) Technical: WDX try on MacOS X
> I made a first attempt on MacOS X. I need some help from a developer about
> gcc to complete compile/link-edit (_ftime unresolved). I have an iMac on
> hand for a couple of days. Thank you for any hint. I spent a lot of time
> to update the Mac (it's quite an old model now), but now the
> environment is OK.
> All the documents I've read indicate a perfect compatibility regarding the
> product environment.
> Please have a look at the status document
> http://downloads.shaman-x.org/wdx-macosx.txt

> 3)WDX integration project with DRBD
> I had a thought about it but still undocumented. I plan to propose a
> design for the solution by the end of this week. It would be based
> on three separate WDX missions:
>  -  Primary mission to handle primary/secondary features,
>  -  Secondary mission to add a hot spare secondary feature,
>  -  Manager mission to feed an HDX interface for global solution
> administration.
> The point which still stops me is about global restart (all nodes
> powered up from a cold state).
> I guess (hope) DRBD design will apply also for database replication
> management.
>
> 4) The project has been submitted for a conference (lecture) at Solutions
> GNU/Linux event in Paris (former LinuxExpo) beginning of February. We'll
> know if the subject is chosen by the commitee by the end of this month. If
> you are interested in the submition documents (in French, sorry), please
> ask me.
> There is a commercial event about Linux in UK, but only commercial
> presentations are proposed (we would have to pay) so I gave up. Is there a
> *true* free software event in UK you are aware of ?
>
> 5) DDX: UML has been listed too as a candidate product for a DDX solution
> (along with VMware and BOCHS)
>
> 6) Business model:
> We got a first answer from  the Director of Ecole de Management of Lyon.
> He has been informed about the project, and I will have a working session
on
> 16-sept with Pascal Bourgier from Thesame association (local development
> agency) and the project will be presented to students on 23-sept. (Master
> level).
>
> This is all for today,
> Thank you for everybody's contribution
