I've built updated cfengine 2.2.6 packages for el4 and el5. You can find them in the usual spot:

The same package has been built for Fedora development/rawhide and should be available there soon.

Some bug fixes as well as support for detecting xen hosts/guests is now included. Let me know if you have any problems!

Ubuntu 8.04 was just released. We're having fun watching the bandwidth graphs. See the graph below and try to figure out when they made the release announcement...

I should note that is just the traffic coming out of our FTP server here in Corvallis. We also have two remote FTP mirrors in Chicago and Atlanta which are each pushing ~350Mbit/sec.

Update: Here's an image showing each of our three FTP mirrors and how much traffic they are each pushing.

Yesterday I was up in Portland at the InnoTech conference to give a "lightning talk" on the OSU Open Source Lab. It was a lot of fun to meet a lot of people I've been in contact with on the phone or via email and put a face to a name. There's a great group of people in the Portland area involved with Open Source, and I really need to get up there more often to see some of them!

I was very excited to see that the OSUOSL was accepted to participate as a mentoring organization in this year's Google Summer of Code (GSoC) program. This gives us a great opportunity to work with students not only at Oregon State University, but at schools worldwide and help them to get involved with some great Open Source communities.

I've finally gotten around to updating the EL4 and EL5 cfengine RPMs here. These are rebuilds of the cfengine 2.2.3 package from Fedora. You can get them at the new location:

Let me know what breaks...

A couple of weeks ago we had a couple new groups move into the OSUOSL. The first was FOSSology and FOSSbazaar.
