Java distribution on Windows

by Thilo Pfennig

Hi, what is your take on the distribution of Java from Orcale on Windows? Is it possible to burn CDs, copy the official release and redistribute it? Or: Can anybody recommend another Windows Java version which works allright? We have read many statements of Oracle and as far as we understand it it looks like they do not want and redistribution. Like http://www.java.com/en/download/license.jsp Any comments that help welcome, Thilo -- Software Freedom International http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/ThiloPfennig Software Freedom Day 2010 in preparation!

no it's not possible to edit your registration submission, but you can edit your team page which is here for that purpose. We actually do look at the pages a lot... And if you're afraid we might miss it, just email us once it's updated. Hope that helps. Fred On 07/31/2010 03:23 AM, dilantha silva wrote: > HI Fred, > > Thanks for your reply. I mean not the wiki.

Hi! I suppose you mean editing your team wiki page? You first need to log in and then click on the edit button which is located on the right side of the menu bar. If you're still having issue, please send us the direct link, browser, operating system. Thank you.

Re: [SFD-discuss] Unable to register a new team

by Manmohan Brahma

Dear Steven I am not very much experienced but regarding your question i have a solution The problem is arised due distributed denial-of-service attack. 421 Too many concurrent SMTP connections. The mails are send over the servers through port #25 I would like to request SFI server administrator to modify the exim.conf file. Move the port of 25 to port 889 or some other free port. daemon_smtp_ports = 25 : 889 It means it will listen on both ports. Other code further down in the file limits that port to be used only by authenticated senders. But this could be a temporary solutions. Of course if we move exim off port 25 completely we'll solve the problem, but it would be easier to just unplug the server; the effect would be roughly the same . If you block port 25, then no one can send email to the server. The best solution i would like to suggest SFI to hire a email server to handle SMTP connections only and heavily filter email coming in before relaying it to the real mailserver. OR Check out the IP Adress that is trying for a automated and repeated connection to SFD web. Cheers, Manmohan Brahma India

New section "Movies"

by Thilo Pfennig

Hi all, I like to point you to a new section I have begun about Movies: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Resources#Movies I know some, but not all. And I like to invite you all to add what you know. I find Movies a great thing for events like SFD to give people some other view. Also its often cheap and efficient to get good input. Its not talks and its not pure software. I also like the open source films, who are built with open source tools or which source files can also be used. People can see what is possible. regards, Thilo -- Software Freedom International http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/ Software Freedom Day 2010 in preparation!

The OSM part hasn't been agreed yet (we haven't asked), but I don't think it should be a problem. Still we need to ask before being able to confirm. Fred
