2] Download the JBoss AS7 Quickstart Application from http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/download. – I downloaded the Quickstarts released the 2011-07-12.

3] Install maven and eclipse on your Fedora 16 station as root user – yum install maven; yum install eclispe -.I use maven-3.0.3-15.fc16.x86_64 and eclipse-pde-3.7.1-4.fc16.x86_64.

4] Then please have a look at the excellent JBoss AS7 procedure available at the following URL : https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS7/Getting+Started+Developing+Applications+Guide. However, before importing the maven quickstart projects pay attention to have an available internet connection and to have imported the JBoss Maven Tools from Jboss Tools - http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/indigo/- as well as the Maven Integration for WTP m2e-wtp -http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/indigo/SR1/  -.

Well to know how to import JBoss Tools in your eclipse then please have a look the following procedure : http://fhornain.wordpress.com/2009/11/06/jboss-tools-installation-on-fedora-11/

5] Follow the excellent JBoss AS7 procedure available at the following URL : https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS7/Getting+Started+Developing+Applications+Guide

[FreedomBox]

Dear *,

Well as I missed the interesting project presentation at FOSDEM this year, I wanted to share it with those who missed as well

Personally, I am convinced a lot of companies would be interested by such project.

Does anyone of you know if that project have chance to integrate the Fedora Distribution ?

Extract from the Freedombox.org website :

What is FreedomBox?

• Email and telecommunications that protects privacy and resists eavesdropping
• A publishing platform that resists oppression and censorship.
• An organizing tool for democratic activists in hostile regimes.
• An emergency communication network in times of crisis.

FreedomBox will put in people’s own hands and under their own control encrypted voice and text communication, anonymous publishing, social networking, media sharing, and (micro)blogging.

Much of the software already exists: onion routing, encryption, virtual private networks, etc. There are tiny, low-watt computers known as “plug servers” to run this software. The hard parts is integrating that technology, distributing it, and making it easy to use without expertise. The harder part is to decentralize it so users have no need to rely on and trust centralized infrastructure.

That’s what FreedomBox is: we integrate privacy protection on a cheap plug server so everybody can have privacy. Data stays in your home and can’t be mined by governments, billionaires, thugs or even gossipy neighbors.

With FreedomBoxes in their homes, anybody, regardless of technical skill, can easily enjoy secure, private, even anonymous communication!

If your company or you are based in BeNeLux and are interested by this presentation, just let me know and I will try to arrange a Meeting for you.

In parallel, I would like to congratulate the openscap and the openscap work-bench. they are great tools. I had the opportunity last week to introduce lightly these ones to one of customer and he really appreciated it.
Even if it is in RHEL 6 techpreview, he is going to use it for his default image definition. He also ask me to have a deeper explanation of it.
Thanks for your help and your work.

My Halfway to full Spice features

Dear *,

Following the advice Daniel gave me on my previous post related to Spice, I decided to try spice on F-15. – https://fhornain.wordpress.com/2011/03/15/spice-my-first-spice-access-to-kvm-machine/ -

The problem was I did not want to use F-15 on my main and only one physical machine at home.
Quite normal cause F-15 is still in Alpha.

So the exercise was not difficult to realize but I admit a little bit complex.

That is to say, I still used my F-14 as a Spice Server an launched a RHEL 6 KVM with the enabled Spice option – I know it could be better if I would have use F-15 but you know the reason why I did not use it -.

Then I opened a X ssh session to my F-15 KVM virtual machine where I launched a spice client in order to access my RHEL 6 KVM . – see pictures –

So, the result of that exercise is that I confirm spice is having full SPICE support across all levels of the stack on F-15.

Even if I ran an hybrid solution between F-14 and F-15, I noticed a really nice improvement in the video flow when I ran an ogg. file inside my launched RHEL 6 KVM with the enabled Spice option.

Rem : – I did not managed to make sound working but maybe I missed some options.
– I did not try with M$ Windows as well. Nonetheless, as soon as I will have few minutes, I will.

Let hope my explanation was clear.
Anyway and again congratulation to the KVM, Spice Team for that.
Thanks also to Daniel for his help.

Best Regards
Frederic

[Spice] My first Spice access to KVM machine

Well, I did not manage to make it work with libvirt on F-14 neither with M$ Windows XP.
Maybe tomorrow.
If you know how in F-14 let me know.

Anyway, sincere congratulation to the RHEV/SPICE Team.
